WASHINGTON
— In a major reversal of years of government policy regarding Greenhouse
Gas Emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency today proposed regulating
Greenhouse Gas Emissions to
combat and reverse global warming and climate change.
"In
both magnitude and probability, climate change is an enormous problem" said
E.P.A's Administrator Lisa Jackson in their 130 page report on Greenhouse
Gas Emissions.
"This finding confirms that greenhouse gas pollution is a serious problem now and for future generations. Fortunately, it follows [US President Barack H. Obama's] call for a low-carbon economy and strong leadership in Congress on clean energy and climate legislation.
Greenhouse
Gas Emissions and greenhouse gas pollution problems
have a solution, one that will create millions of green jobs and end our country's dependence on foreign
oil," according to Jackson.
Jackson said
this report found that projected levels of Greenhouse
Gas Emissions "endanger the public health and welfare of current and
future generations." The
finding came two years after the Supreme Court ruled the EPA had the authority
to regulate Greenhouse Gas
Emissions under the Clean Air Act.
Trigeneration Technologies, LLC. is a privately held company that was founded by
two of the board members of the Renewable Energy Institute. We assist in
the optimization of bulk power systems by engineering, developing, installing,
owning and operating highly efficient cogeneration
and trigeneration energy systems.
Our
specialty is both both cogeneration
and trigeneration energy systems.
There is probably not a better, more cost-effective "demand
side management" method for reducing the energy expenses for commercial
businesses.
We
manufacture/package, sell and install cogeneration
and trigeneration energy systems that
approach 100% net system efficiency. This means our energy systems utilize
nearly 100% of the fuel in the form of power (electricity) and hot water and/or
steam with our cogeneration energy
systems and cooling, heating and power (electricity) with our trigeneration
energy systems - that our customers use "onsite" in their buildings,
restaurants, health clubs, hotels, casinos, office buildings, hospitals and many
other types of commercial buildings, facilities and plants.
For
qualified clients, we will build-design-finance-own-operate and maintain our cogeneration
or trigeneration energy systems.
What is "Trigeneration"?
Trigeneration
is the simultaneous production of three forms of energy - typically, Cooling,
Heating and Power - from only one fuel input. Put another way, our trigeneration
power plants produce three different types of energy for the price of one.
Our
company's trigeneration energy
systems reach overall system efficiencies of 86% to 93%. Typical
"central" power plants, that do not need the heat generated from the
combustion and power generation process, are only about 33% efficient.
Trigeneration
Diagram & Description Trigeneration Power Plants' Have the
Highest System Efficiencies and are
About 300 % More Efficient than Typical Central Power Plants
One
of our company's principal's first experience with the design and development of
a trigeneration power plant was the trigeneration
power plant installation at Rice University in 1987 where our trigeneration
development team started out by conducting a "cogeneration"
feasibility study. We installed a 4.0 MW Ruston gas turbine for the power
plant. Rice University selected an EPC company that installed the trigeneration
power plant, along with waste heat recovery boilers and absorption
chillers. A "waste
heat recovery boiler" captures the heat from the exhaust of the gas
turbine. From there, the recovered energy was converted to chilled water -
originally from (3) Hitachi Absorption
Chillers - 2 were rated at 1,000 tons each, and the third Hitachi Absorption
Chiller was rated at 1,500 tons. The Hitachi absorption
chillers were replaced shortly after their installation by the EPC company.
The first trigeneration plant at Rice
University was so successful, they added a second 5.0 MW trigeneration
plant so today, Rice University is now generating about 9.0 MW of electricity,
and also producing the cooling and heating the university needs from the trigeneration
plant and circulating the trigeneration
energy around its campus.

Trigeneration's
"Super-Efficiency" compared
with other competing technologies
As you can see, there is No Competition for Trigeneration!
Our trigeneration power plants are
the ideal onsite power and energy solution for customers that include:
Data Centers, Hospitals, Universities, Airports, Central Plants, Colleges &
Universities, Dairies, Server Farms, District Heating & Cooling Plants, Food
Processing Plants, Golf/Country Clubs, Government Buildings, Grocery Stores,
Hotels, Manufacturing Plants, Nursing Homes, Office Buildings / Campuses,
Radio Stations, Refrigerated Warehouses, Resorts, Restaurants, Schools, Server
Farms, Shopping Centers, Supermarkets, Television Stations, Theatres and
Military Bases.
We
partner and collaborate with other forward thinking companies and communities
that are interested in changing the outdated power and energy model of the past
- inefficient and highly-polluting central power plants that average 33%
efficiency - to a new paradigm and model for the future - community-based cogeneration
and trigeneration energy systems at
more than 90% efficiency - and therefore provides power and energy at lower
prices while significantly reducing and even eliminating typical power plant
emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.
Call
(832) 758 - 0027 for more information about community-based cogeneration
and trigeneration energy systems or
about making your community, hospital, university or other commercial facility a
model for the future.
We
presently contract the packaging of our new trigeneration
energy systems by a 3rd party/supplier but plan to build a new trigeneration
manufacturing plant - near Houston, Texas where we will be able to significantly
increase our trigeneration power
plant production.
At
about 86% to 93% net system efficiency, our trigeneration
power plants are about 300% more efficient at providing energy than your current
electric utility. That's because the typical electric utility's power plants are
only about 33% efficient - they waste 2/3 of the fuel in generating electricity
in the enormous amount of waste heat energy that they exhaust through their
smokestacks.
Trigeneration
is defined as the simultaneous production of three energies: cooling, heating
and power. Our trigeneration
energy systems use the same amount of fuel in producing three energies that
would normally only produce just one type of energy. This means our customers
that have our trigeneration power
plants have significantly lower energy expenses, and a lower carbon footprint.
All
of our trigeneration power plants can
produce 42 degree F. chilled water (with a 20 degree chilled water option) as
well as steam and hot water while generating at least 200 kW of power. We can
build trigeneration power plants up
to 10 MW and with system efficiencies approaching 100%.

Provides
a solid basis for moving a potential renewable energy project forward. The
cost for this depends on the type, location, amount of time we require, and any
additional requirements that may be included by the client.
Generally,
a trigeneration feasibility study a
good option for clients considering trigeneration that need a trigeneration
energy system that is over 1.0 MW and up to about 3.0 MW.
The
time required to complete the study is about 90 to 120 days, on average.
To
start a Trigeneration Preliminary
Study and Analysis, we require a 50% cash payment of the study cost plus a
refundable deposit for our reimbursable expenses.
Trigeneration
Detailed Concept, Engineering and Design Analysis
The
detailed engineering design is a good option for clients that would need a trigeneration
energy system with an estimated trigeneration
energy system over 3.0 MW and above. In a detailed engineering design, the trigeneration
energy system is conceived, designed and engineered as a custom fit and
optimized energy solution for your specific facility.
Final
result is usually ready for a company to start construction. A detailed
engineering design can take from 4 months to 6 months to complete. The fee will
generally run as a percentage of the total installed cost of the trigeneration
energy system, and generally costs anywhere from 5% to 15% of the overall cost
of the project.
To
start a detailed trigeneration
engineering design, we require a 50% cash payment of the total fee plus a
refundable deposit for our reimbursable expenses.
Our
trigeneration feasibility studies and
engineering design are led by our licensed engineers. Our goal is to help
you determine whether your renewable energy is viable, identify the merits of
your proposed renewable energy project, identify weak points, provide our
recommended course of action, as well as our recommendations for products and
equipment that need further review or consideration. Our Feasibility
Studies are an excellent "foundation" for building your next renewable
energy project.
If
you order your new trigeneration
power plant from us within 30 days of the date of delivery of our Trigeneration
Feasibility Review or Study, we will reduce the cost of your new trigeneration
power plant by half the cost of the study and apply the fee to the purchase.
Trigeneration
is a technology whose time as come! Particularly for commercial clients who want
to decrease their energy expenses and carbon footprint, while increasing energy
efficiency and profits. This is possible as our trigeneration
power plants surpass 90% net system efficiency.
This
is possible through our trigeneration
power plants that surpass 90% system efficiency for our clients that need
cooling, heating and power - which covers about 99% of all commercial buildings
and companies.
While
most new trigeneration power plants
are capable of being fueled with clean natural gas, we are dedicated to ending
the use of fossil fuels by providing renewable energy and renewable fuels such
as B100 Biodiesel or Biomethane.
Simultaneously, we are focused on reducing and eliminating greenhouse
gas emissions and carbon
dioxide emissions.

Trigeneration
Technologies' trigeneration
energy systems' net system's efficiencies surpass any potential competitor.
We guarantee our standard trigeneration
power plants will exceed 90% net system efficiency.
Our
trigeneration plants can use
renewable fuels such as Biomethane, B100
Biodiesel or Dimethyl Ether,
instead of fossil fuels to run them. We also offer an optional selective

Biomass Gasification
Technologies, a Renewable Energy Ventures company, is privately held and founded by two of the members of
the Renewable Energy Institute. Biomass Gasification
Technologies develops, owns and operates biomass gasification plants and
also provides engineering services related to biomass feedstock and biomass
gasification. We provide research and development funding through the Renewable
Energy Institute in advancing biomass gasification
technologies, one of the few "carbon negative energy" technologies
that actually removes carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere.
Our superior gasification technologies are based
on the "fluidized bed gasification" process and are the result of 20 years of research
and development during which time our biomass gasification
technology has been awarded numerous grants
from multiple government agencies including the EPA and
DOE along with two patents and 5 patents that
are pending.
Biomass Gasification
Technologies, a Renewable Energy Ventures Company,
was formed to develop and advance biomass gasification technologies. Presently,
we offer two biomass gasification technologies wherein we own the patents and/or
the international marketing rights for these superior biomass gasification
technologies.
We
have two different biomass gasification technologies and they are based on the
quantity of biomass and power generated. One biomass gasification technology is
available from as little as 250 kW to just over 1.0 MW. The other biomass
gasification technology is available from 1.0 MW to over 100 MW. We have been operating our first full-scale, commercial
biomass gasification
pilot plant which integrates all of our patents,
utilizing multiple biomass feedstock, for the past two years. This first
biomass gasification
generates just over 1.0 MW of clean power. All of our
research has now been validated and we are generating "carbon
negative energy" from our Synthesis
Gas.
We
are now making our superior gasification
technologies
available through sale, joint venture development, or through a licensing
agreement. We are now offering licenses to manufacture, install, sell and
co-develop our biomass gasification plants. Until we select the licensees, we
are developing joint
venture partnerships in Africa, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, and
Southeast Asia. In the U.S., we are offering two licenses to qualified licensees
that can assist in the manufacturing of our biomass gasification plants. One
license is available for west of the Mississippi, and another license is
available for east of the Mississippi.
At the
present time, we are actively seeking new
biomass gasification
projects in the U.S., Canada, Central America and the Caribbean.
With
the pending Cap and Trade regulations
and ever-increasing need for our customers to reduce their Greenhouse
Gas Emissions, we are finding that more and more customers are interested in
replacing their
fossil fuels (natural gas, coal, diesel, etc.) or electricity with our "clean
power generation" technology that generates Synthesis
Gas. Synthesis
Gas is produced with our clients biomass through our biomass gasification
plant - a real win-win-win solution for our clients, the environment, and their
bottom-line!
Cities and landfill owners are "wasting
waste" and losing out on a huge environmental and economic opportunity!
Biomass materials and organic waste
materials are now being
wasted by every city and landfill, when these valuable "wastes" are
disposed of in overcrowded landfills. Because there are so many landfills
that have limited space - and for some cities that need this valuable real
estate, we are very interested in assisting cities and landfill owners with
"Landfill Reclamation."
In
association with the Renewable Energy Institute and our "superior
gasification" technology, we have have developed a win-win solution and
business model that helps cities (and their citizens and taxpayers) and
associated landfills reduce or completely eliminate; Carbon
Emissions, Carbon
Dioxide Emissions and Greenhouse Gas Emissions that are associated with 65% of
the wastes presently being disposed of in landfills. Better still, we can
arrange to sell the green power we generate from these biomass wastes and our biomass gasification
plant back to your city at a preferred price.
For
more information and to learn if your city (or landfill) qualifies for our
turnkey waste to energy solution, call (832) 758 - 0027 or send an email to: info@BiomassGasification.com

Moving
forward with us - next steps
Typically,
we are engaged by new clients after they have identified a potential biomass
feedstock. We require an initial retainer from new clients. The amount of
the retainer is based upon the number of hours and resources for the specific
Biomass Gasification project. Biomass Gasification engineering and biomass
feedstock engineering studies are led by our company's co-founder who is a licensed
professional engineer. He holds a Bachelors, Masters and a Ph.D. in
engineering along with
nearly 30 years experience in biomass and waste to energy technologies.
The
majority of our clients are seeking the optimum Biomass Gasification solution for their
company's goals, objectives, and feedstock. To determine the optimum
Biomass Gasification solution, we normally start by supplying our customers
with a Biomass Engineering Feasibility and Economic Study. Again, our fees
are dependent on the number of variables and the final, agreed upon Scope of
Services Agreement.
In
the event that the client has a study, and is satisfied with the results, we
can begin by starting the EPC (Engineering-Procurement-Construction)
process.
On a strictly "vendor-neutral" basis, we help client's with their
Biomass Gasification goals, objectives and budget through our Initial Biomass
Gasification Engineering Design.
Our
Initial
Engineering Design service is the primary instrument most of our clients use to
make a "go - no go" decision regarding specific Biomass Gasification

Engineering and Feasibility Studies
We
provide Biomass Gasification Feasibility Studies for clients considering Biomass
Gasification under a strict
"vendor neutral" basis.
Our
Biomass Gasification Feasibility Studies form the basic
foundation in our client's decision-making process and the critical answers they
seek regarding Biomass Gasification - do we move forward with our plans to build
a Biomass Gasification plant? Where should it be built? What are the
optimum biomass feedstocks for this location? What size plant should we
build? Who should build it? Which Biomass Gasification plant do we
choose? Can we sell our excess power to the grid?
Our
Biomass Gasification Feasibility Study will answer these important questions and
more. In
the event you decide to move forward with our Biomass Gasification Engineering
and Feasibility Study. We require a 50% deposit to begin
work.
Our Biomass Gasification
plants operate on virtually
every biomass feedstock. Optimum size biomass feedstock is no larger than 1
inch. The Biomass Gasification
plants we manufacture for our clients generate an optimum return on investment, which means
some of the highest returns possible with the lowest operating costs, from practically
most any biomass feedstock. Our
knowledge and expertise will help you maximize Biomass Gasification
revenues at
your facility.
One
of our company's scientists and engineers has over 30 years expertise in biomass
to energy solutions. Our lead researcher and engineer has over 20 years
expertise in biomass gasification research and development and over 7 years experience in the research and development of
our present line of Biomass Gasification
plants. Our company's Biomass Gasification
plants feature several
patents for the advances they have made in Biomass Gasification
technologies and several more that we are now applying for new patents on.
Our Biomass Gasification
plants have some of the highest overall efficiencies available (for
all biomass feedstock we have tested to
date).
To
determine the "optimum" biomass solution, regarding your investment in
one of our biomass gasification solutions, we can provide a biomass engineering
feasibility and economic analysis. Our study includes the testing of your
specific biomass feedstock in our biomass gasification plant in Lubbock,
Texas. Our study provides the answers you will need before making the
investment in a biomass gasification plant, including mass-energy balances,
emissions analysis, and the optimal solution based on your requirements.
Our engineering feasibility and design study takes
approximately 90 days and at the end of this time, we will know the optimum size
biomass gasification plant to start manufacturing. In the event that the
client desires to purchase our biomass gasification plant, 100% of the cost of
the engineering feasibility and design study is applied to the initial 50%
payment for us to be able to to start construction.
Call
or email us for information on pricing and availability for us to complete your
engineering feasibility and economic analysis study.
As
we have not yet completed the rest of our patents, we require a Non-Disclosure
Agreement be competed before you will be able to view our biomass gasification
plants which are located in Lubbock, Texas.

for clients interested in "utility-scale" Concentrated Solar Power plants.
Our work is
performed on a strict adherence to "vendor-neutrality." We
seek to maximize the return on investment from both the economic and
environmental aspects while simultaneously minimizing the operational expenses
for our clients.
Concentrated
solar power plants produce electric power by converting the sun's energy
into high-temperature heat using various mirror configurations. The heat
is then channeled through a conventional generator. The plants consist
of two parts: one that collects solar energy and converts it to heat,
and another that converts heat energy to electricity.
Concentrated
solar power systems can be sized for village power (10 kilowatts) or
grid-connected applications (up to 100 megawatts). Some systems use
thermal storage during cloudy periods or at night. Others can be
combined with natural gas and the resulting hybrid power plants provide
high-value, dispatchable power. These attributes, along with world
record solar-to-electric conversion efficiencies, make concentrating
solar power an attractive renewable energy option in the Southwest and
other sunbelt regions worldwide.
In
addition to offering Concentrated Solar Power Project Development, Engineering,
Feasibility Studies and Consulting Services, we will be publishing the
CSP magazine at:www.ConcentratedSolarPower.com

Glossary of Terms
What is an Assigned Amount (AA)?
The quantity of greenhouse gases that an Annex I country can release in
accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, during the first commitment period of that
protocol (2008-12).
What is an Assigned Amount Unit (AAU)?
An Assigned Amount Unit (AAU) is a
tradable unit of 1 tCO2e.
What are Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)?
According to the Kyoto Protocol, a Kyoto Protocol unit equal to 1 metric tonne
of CO 2 equivalent. A CER is issued for emission reductions from CDM project
activities. Two special types of CERs called temporary certified emission
reduction (tCERs) and long-term certified emission reductions (lCERs) are issued
for emission removals from forestation and reforestation CDM projects.
What is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)?
The Clean Development Mechanism is provided by Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol,
designed to assist developing countries in achieving sustainable development by
permitting industrialized countries to finance projects for reducing greenhouse
gas emission in developing countries and receive credit for doing so.
What is an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA)?
An Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement
is a binding purchase agreement signed between buyer (of CERs or ERUs) and
seller.
What are Emission Reduction Units (ERUs)?
A unit of emission reductions achieved through a Joint Implementation project.
This unit is equal to one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.
What are Emissions Reductions (ERs)?
Emissions reductions generated by a project that have not undergone a
validation/verification process, but are contracted for purchase.
What is Emissions Trading?
Emissions Trading allows for the
transfer of AAUs across international borders or emission allowances between
companies covered by a Cap and Trade program. However, it is a general term
often used for the three Kyoto mechanisms: JI, CDM and emissions trading.
What is the Emissions Trading Scheme?
The ETS is the largest multi-national, greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme
in the world and is a main pillar of EU climate policy.
What is an ERU?
Emission Reduction Unit.
What is the EU ETS?
European Union Emissions Trading Scheme.
What is an EUA?
European Union Allowance.
What is an European Union Allowances (EUA)?
Materialization of the EU ETS quotas, the tradable unit under the EU ETS. One
EUA represents the right to emit 1 ton of CO2.
What is the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
Trading Scheme within the European Union. The first compliance phase is from
2005 to 2007, while the second compliance phase continues from 2008 to 2012.
What is a Renewable Energy
Certificate?
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) - each REC represents the equivalent of one
megawatt hour of electricity generation from an accredited renewable energy
source.
What is a Verified Emission Reduction (VER)?
A Verified Emission Reduction is a unit of greenhouse gas emission reduction
that has been verified by an independent auditor, but has not yet undergone the
procedures and may not yet have met the requirements for verification,
certification and issuance of CERs (in the case of the CDM) or ERUs (in the case
of JI) under the Kyoto Protocol.
Buyers of VERs assume all carbon-specific policy and regulatory risks (i.e. the
risk that the VERs are not ultimately registered as CERs or ERUs). Buyers
therefore tend to pay a discounted price for VERs, which takes the inherent
regulatory risks into account. VERs are carbon credits which are not certified
under the Kyoto Protocol but which can be used to compensate carbon emissions. 1
VER corresponds to one metric tone of CO2 equivalent.
What is the Voluntary Market?
The Voluntary market is precisely that, a "voluntary" market for
emissions reductions for buyers and sellers of Verified Emission Reductions (VERs),
which seek to manage their emission exposure for non-regulatory purposes.
According
to the United Nations:
"It is estimated that
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
trading markets could be worth $2 Trillion by 2012."
World Carbon Dioxide Emissions since 1750 (cubic feet)
The
carbon clock tracks total carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons since 1750.
Since 1750, humans have emitted over 5 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere. Roughly half of this has ended up in the oceans where it is
beginning to damage the coral reefs. The other half is still in the atmosphere
and causing global warming. Each pound of CO2 takes up as much space as a 500
pound person.
The formula (which should be good for a year or two) is:
C(t) = 2.58 ×1012 + 1240×t, where t is seconds since the start of 2007.
C is tonnes (metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions.
2205 x C gives pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
That comes to over 43 billion tons/year or over 86 trillion pounds/year.
Carbon dioxide (2) = 1 carbon atom with 2 oxygen atoms.
Carbon has relative weight 12 and Oxygen 16.
So it takes only 12 pounds of carbon to make 12+16+16 = 44 pounds of CO2.

California and Sweden Sign Agreement to Jointly Develop Biomethane
and Other Renewable Fuels
Thursday, 29
June 2006
Sacramento, California USA and Sweden
In a ceremony held at the Ministry of the Environment in Stockholm,
representatives of the Kingdom of Sweden and the State of California signed an
agreement pledging the two governments and their related industries to work
together to develop bioenergy, with a particular emphasis on Biomethane.
“Through a strong working relationship between its industry and government,
Sweden is showing how bioenergy can be developed in a cost-effective manner
that benefits its economy and environment. We are extremely pleased to have
signed this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will provide a basis for
intensified collaboration between Swedish and California officials to develop
a thriving bioenergy industry in California,” said Joe Desmond,
Undersecretary for the California Resources Agency.
In particular, Sweden has been a global leader in terms of converting biowaste,
largely agricultural material and residues, into usable Biomethane.
This gas is then used to either generate electricity, residential heating, or
as a transportation fuel.
More than 8,000 vehicles in Sweden are powered by a combination of natural gas
and Biomethane.
The vehicles include transit buses, refuse trucks, and more than 10 different
models of passenger cars. There are more than 25 Biomethane
production facilities in Sweden and 65 filling stations. The Swedish Biomethane
industry has been growing at an annual rate of about 20 percent over the last
five years.
According to the Swedish Gas Association, more than 50 percent of the methane
used to power Sweden’s natural gas vehicles now comes from biological
sources, up from 45% last year. Natural gas vehicle sales in Sweden are
increasing at the rate of 25% per annum.
Sweden was motivated to develop its Biomethane
industry because it has no natural gas reserves, to more efficiently manage
its waste, and to meet its obligations under the Kyoto Accord. Since Biomethane
is developed from methane sources that would normally release into the
atmosphere, it’s considered one of the most climate friendly fuels. Methane
(and Biomethane)
is 21 times more reactive as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2).
Sweden is currently meetings its objectives and schedule as outlined in the
Kyoto accord.
Biomethane
is developed by heating up and breaking down biomaterials in an (Anaerobic
Digesters) digester. Among other raw materials, Swedish operators feed
their Anaerobic Digesters with
slaughterhouse waste, swine manure, and even grassy crops. After the materials
breakdown over a 20 day period, technology is then used to remove the
impurities and produce Biomethane.
Once cleaned-up, Biomethane
is 98 percent methane and easily meets the Swedish and California pipeline
standards.

With Over
27 Years Experience in Anaerobic Digester Design, Engineering and Operations, We
are now Building the World's best Anaerobic
Digesters.
1.
Anaerobic
Digesters take an existing liability
and waste (Biomethane)
and convert it into an asset and " profit generator."
2.
Anaerobic
Digesters mitigate and reverse
climate change and global warming by preventing Biomethane
to escape into the atmosphere, which is one of the major causes of climate
change and global warming.
3.
Anaerobic
Digesters are vital for renewable
energy production and helping our country's drive for energy independence.
4.
EVERY wastewater treatment plant as well as ALL Concentrated
Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO's) - IN EVERY COUNTRY - will soon be
installing Anaerobic
Digesters to prevent Biomethane
from entering the atmosphere and help reverse climate change as well as for use
as a renewable fuel.
5.
The country of Sweden is the global leader in Biomethane
production. Sweden has identified the Biomethane
opportunities and is converting biowaste derived from agricultural material and
residues into usable Biomethane.
The Biomethane
is used to generate clean, renewable electricity, residential heating, and also
as a transportation fuel. Biomass sources make up 45% of Sweden’s Biomethane.
Sweden's Biomethane
industry has been growing at an annual rate of around 20% over the last five
years. Biomethane
powers more than 8,000 transit buses, garbage trucks, and 10 different models of
passenger cars in Sweden. Sweden now has more than 25 Biomethane
production facilities and 65 filling stations. The country believes that since Biomethane
is developed from natural, organic sources that would have been released into
the atmosphere, that Biomethane
is considered one of the most climate-friendly fuels. Biomethane
is 98% methane and easily meets the Swedish and California pipeline standards.
