In the present example -- waste Papaya -- hope to be able to operate the
electric deep well pumps that do the irrigation of the Papaya. A huge
energy factor -- and replacing that fossil fuel need with a biomass waste
product -- why -- that might even meet a "Greens" approval.
But they probably would condemn it anyway -- just as a matter of principle!
The things is -- if we all did all our tiny parts in real time -- it could
make a real difference.
A few gallons of diesel saved here -- a few there -- it all adds up.
The waste papaya to bio methane to power for irrigation should work -- as
the machine operated by two hours -- twice per day. So properly sizing the
digester should result in just enough. Without going over board in capital
costs.
Course -- if every papaya operation in the world did this same -- it would
be a lot of portable fossil fuel saved.
One would think -- under our free enterprise capitalist system this would
be soon researched and implemented.
But us few foot soldiers on the real front lines know a lot better!!
Of course this can only advance as fast as this one soldier can implement
the process.
So much to do -- so much to get done -- and so terribly few really do
anything productive.
Reg -- they doing Papaya in Vietnam or Columbia??
Maybe we should get together on this??
AD -- India??
