[Terrapreta] Has somebody done the calculatios?

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Folke,

I'll have some estimates of this from pragmatic experience very soon, Folke.  I'm just finishing a pyrolysis reactor design that I am firing up this spring.  I intend to try and harvest charcoal, energetic fuel gases (H2, CO, and CH4) in the "producer gas", and sensible heat from the process operating the reactor.  Eventually, the reactor will do continuous feed, "flash carbonization" of biomass into "synthesis gas", using a pressurized, high speed reaction.

Regards,

SKB

  A very interesting notion is that the charring of biomass gives a flammable by-product that could be used as an energy source as ell as a source for chemical engineering. 

  Now, I wonder if somebody has estimated how much of these products that maximally would be available form charring of, say, 1 gigatonne of biomass? 
  It could be an interesting figure to present to the energy freaks.
