Take a COOL Guess – the Fun Quiz on Clean Energy (and Global Warming Remedy). Today’s Topic: Construction and Demolition Waste
| January 12, 2011 | Posted by Craig Shields under Biomass |
Question: Amount how many tons of C&D (construction and demolition) waste comes out of New England and New York every year? Where does almost all of that stuff go?
Answer: Can be found at http://2greenenergy.com/cool-guess-answers/8732.
Relevance: Almost 30% of C&D waste is wood, whose energy content can be extracted with any of a number of gasification technologies. A client of ours has nailed down a consistent source of feedstock, a low-cost way of shipping and sorting it, and a technique (thermal anaerobic gasification) to process it without creating carcinogenic slag as a byproduct. The ultimate in “turning lemons to lemonade.”

Please can I get some info on the availability/price/etc of a small scale gasification plant…as have 80 acres of forest and there is a lot of forest waste that could be utilized for conversion to energy.
Thx
