I'm finishing up another unit for a Navajo food sustainability operation to deliver Monday.

Both will use the technology to heat greenhouses while making biochar to use in their soil - carbon negative, revenue positive energy, displacing the burning of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately the photo does not appear and Google returns a NOT FOUND.
Perhaps I could host it on IMGUR for you?

Yes, of course.

Thanks to Master Haas, I can show you all some pictures...

Two loads of pellets pyrolyzed in the black canister produces 24# of biochar and burning the smoke in the boiler heats 275 gallons of water from 40F to 150F.

The hot water stored in the tote can then be pumped through the fan coil heater in the greenhouse.

Rowe still should have featured you in an interview at the very least.
Maybe your biochar process isn't "dirty enough" for him but he owed you some airtime, in my humble opinion.

Well, I guess Mike must have lost my contact info... wink

I should mention that the 3 bags of pellets cost $18 and the biochar is worth $30, and it more-or-less permanently sequesters 72# of atmospheric CO2. The energy is worth $10 - $20, depending upon what fuel it is.

It's carbon negative, revenue positive energy, sourced from restorative activities. There is nothing else like it on the planet that I know of.

We have started to make our own pellets out of what I call "liability biomass", meaning waste that has a disposal cost or some other environmentally negative aspect associated with it. It's so opposite of dirty that it could be the reason Mike Rowe passed us by...
