Green Power is commissioning its full-scale process module for the direct conversion of solid biomass residues into liquid Fossil Free Fuels^®.   

Green Power Inc.’s vision is to close the above grade carbon cycle by converting residual biomass into liquid Fossil Free Fuels^®.  Green Power’s process will

·         Reduce our reliance on fossil fuels,

·         Reduce green house gasses,

·         higher National Security,

·         more independence from foreign Nations,

·         Eliminate our nasty habit of land filling resources. 

The US DOE reports that in 2006 the US land filled 140 million tons of residual biomass (total MSW including inorganic was 170 million tons).  This 140 million ton biomass resource has the potential of becoming 13 billion gallons per year (BGPY) of Fossil Free Fuel^®, and offsetting 7% (nearly one month’s worth) of our imported crude. 

The US DOE office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy published a report in 2005 that estimated our sustainable residual biomass supply of 1.3 billion dry tons per year.

·         368 million dry tons (MDT) from forest products

·         998 MDT from agriculture

·         428 MDT from annual crop residues

·         377 MDT from perennial crops

·         87 MDT from grains used for biofuels

1.3 Billion Dry Tons (BDT)

Green Power’s thermal catalytic process can convert an annual supply of 1.0 BDT residual biomass into 90 billion gallons of sustainable, atmospheric carbon neutral, Fossil Free Fuel^®. 

This untapped renewable resource has the potential to

·         offset 45% of our current crude oil imports,

·         eliminating the greenhouse effect associated with 90 billion gallons of fossil fuels,

·          eliminate the methane produced by natural decay of forestry and agricultural residuals

·         does not include the 140 MDT of residual biomass that we landfill every year (13 BGPY).

• Consumes internally generated Naphtha

• Turbine Generator produces 2.5 MW, Gross

• Plant will consume 1.5 MW

• Net 1.0 MW surplus, 24 MW-hr on a daily basis

The Benefits

1. 103 BGPY Fossil Free Fuels^® from identified residuals

2. Reduced reliance on foreign oil (50%)

3. 200,000 high paying jobs across the country, distributed renewable fuel production from 2,500 facilities

4. Reduction of Green House gasses (CO₂ from fossil fuels, methane from the decay of residuals)

5.  Closed loop grade carbon cycle (not net increase in CO₂)

6.  Energy self sufficient, each facility will export electricity

7. Eliminate our nasty habit of land-filling routine daily residue
