Producing Biochar

[admin]

I just purchased your mega stove and look forward to using it to produce biochar by heating a Cornelius keg filled with dry wood and other experiments on our farm: http://hines.blogspot.com/2010_03_07_archive.html

I have plugged your sales with a post on my blog: http://hines.blogspot.com/2010/03/peple ... tdoor.html

I really enjoyed the knowledge learned from you - http://hines.blogspot.com/2010_03_07_archive.html

I believe Biochar / Woodgas can help make a better world:


Widespread on farm adoption of this could provide the right answers to our present problems.
Energy and fertilizer produced locally.
Excess electricity could be fed back to the "grid".
Excess bio-oils and gas from pyrolysis could be sold to local bio-fuel facilities for further refinement and distribution.
Revive local farm communities with more profits staying local.
Decentralized power generation would be help our national security. Now terrorists attacks on large centralized power producing facilities could cause major disruption of service for 1000's of people.
This could BEGIN to STOP our present situation of TRANSPORTING foreign oil, TRANSPORTING fertilizers, TRANSPORTING fuels, TRANSPORTING oil products, ... GREAT DISTANCES from CENTRALIZED facilities 1000's OF MILES from end user.
This would help to RESTORE our AIR QUALITY and SUSTAIN OUR SOILS.


Dr. Reed you have done great work your entire life!
Keep on Keepin' On!
