In order to quickly and economically develop a large scale bio-energy business, as well as to develop your proposed 'hydrogen highway' economy, you may wish to consider the option of throwing your entire municipal wastes management system into reverse whereby instead of permitting more landfills, garbage incinerators, composting plants and conventional sewage treatment plants you would instead allow for the competitive development of a number of hybrid pumped storage hydroelectric plants that function as integrated solid/liquid waste recycling facilities. Such a plant would import liquid wastes to the storage to be treated and recycled for electrolytic production of hydrogen, and/or, for production of premium-value electricity. Solid wastes would be rapidly converted, by use of proven steam process technologies, into large quantiites of biogas and high quality artificial soils that are then distributed and applied to increase the productivity of plantation forestry sites, and/or, to maximize the storage of carbon in soils, with a haul back of biomass and other materials that are needed to support the bio-energy and soils components of the system... A basic system design is available upon request. |
