[Gasification] Biogas from Pasture and second gen and GTL

[katahdinenergyworks at verizon.net]

Maine is covered with perhaps hundreds of thousands of acres of fallow 'hayfield', either cut for hay; or cut to keep it from returning into forest; or in a semi forest stage, i.e. brush.

As a result Maine has has thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of large hay 'rolls' decomposing in fields, unsold. There are even more wrapped in plastic waiting to be sold.

One reaction is a large biomass boiler that consumes an entire haybale over the course of a week...kinda burns like a cigar from one end to the other!

As we all know the BTU content of Hay is very large.

I've put together an integrated system for operating an integrated solid & liquid waste digester, that uses the spent effluent as a fertilizer on these hay fields; in essence creating a renewable resource.

Plastic bailing solves the storage problem.

We're lucky to have Navy base in the final stages of closing and the potential for creating this kind of trash to energy cycle using hay(grasses, biomass) in the loop.

..just tossing out the concept...
