[Terrapreta] National Biomass Producers Association Demenstrationof Thermochemical Biochar

[Greg and April]

I'm still not fond of ethanol and think that while it may be a fair short term solution, I believe that it will be a dead end fuel - I think that butanol is going to be the long term solution.

  NBPA to demonstrate cellulosic ethanol production
  From the March 2008 Issue


  "The thermochemical process also produces a byproduct called biochar, which serves as a viable soil amendment with important fertilizer properties that could offset farmers' high fertilizer costs. Due to the mobility of on-site production, logistical issues associated with feedstock collection and transportation would also be eliminated. "It's what's going to work best for everyone involved, including the wildlife," Cahoj said. "It brings a lot of variables into the picture that people need to be thinking about, and the time to act is now."
