[Terrapreta] Another promising carbon capture technique

[Green Waste Recycle Yard]

Hi Jim,

I see what you mean about "accounting", that you are basically just speeding
up a process that is already going to occur.

I thought it might be interesting for you to see an analysis of the biomass
we send to a local cogen plant, who does pretty rigorous testing. I've
picked one testing that was close to the their spec. Some of our loads are
over spec, most under. Our loads have a lot of eucalyptus, which has low ash
content compared to other wood feedstocks. Pine makes up a good part of the
rest of our biomass.

Where the cogen plant has a specification, I've listed it in parentheses.
