[Terrapreta] Research Money

[Dave Demyan]

Kevin,

Research dollars in the 3 billion dollar range could fund pilot projects
throughout the country that would convert biomass into bio-oil, charcoal and
heat.  It could fund research labs that could develop methodologies for
producing petrochemical replacements that could be used for everything from
plastics to construction adhesives and finishes to synthetic fibers.  It
could fund research into the effects of char from different sources and
different processes, on different crops in different climates and soils.  It
could be used to demonstrate waste heat utilization for heating, food
processing and refrigeration.

 

300 billion could be used to convert the entire US to alternative energy
sources.

 

Other than that it wouldn't be of much use at all. 

 

Sincerely,

Dave
