BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK

The biomasses used by the Green Power Machines are organic materials made from plants and contain stored energy from the sun.  Plants absorb the sun’s energy in a process called photosynthesis.

The Green Power Machines “reform” (converts) the energy in various biomasses and biomass by-products to heat and hydrogen syngas.  One of the many benefits of the Green Power Machine is that it can use many different types of biomass fuel feedstocks.  The advantage of being able to use many different types of biomasses and their by-products is that locally grown biomasses can be used to produce energy where the energy will be used…unlike petroleum based fuels. 

Examples of biomass fuel feedstocks are but not limited to the following:

• Glycerin – a by-product of processing various oils such as olive, coconut & palm oil and a by-product of biodiesel production
  
  
• Rice/Wheat Waste Products
  
  
• Oils from Pennycress or many other types of biomass
  
  
• Carbohydrates from Switchgrass or many other types of biomass
  
  
• Sugars from sugar cane, molasses, etc.
  
  
• Algae & Algae oil
  
  
• Ethanol produced from biomasses and diluted up to 60% with water
  
  
• Waste Grease & Oil
  
  
• Animal manure
  
  
• Any many more kinds of biomasses
