SOLUTIONS & TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTIONS Biomass to Energy LLC’s technology is the missing link for other technologies such as but not limited to fuel cells and Stirling generators to use green biomass fuels. Hydrogen Syngas & Heat from Renewable Biomasses: There are systems such as fuel cells and Stirling generators that require either gas or heat to produce electricity and cooling/refrigeration. With the Green Power Machines, both syngas and heat are produced when renewable biomasses are reformed (converted) in the Green Power Machines. The syngas and heat can be used by fuel cells and Stirling generators. Being able to use local renewable biomasses is important in many parts of the world that do not want or cannot afford to use petroleum based fuels to meet their energy requirements. Hydrogen Gas Production: One of the factors preventing the wide use of fuel cells is the need for a low cost hydrogen gas supply Currently hydrogen gas is extremely expensive to produce (production consumes high amounts of energy), to transport and to store. A commercial hydrogen transportation system and storage station infrastructure can cost as much as $1,000,000. One factor for this high cost is the high pressure required to transport and store the hydrogen. The Green Power Machines produce hydrogen syngas at low temperatures and low pressure. The hydrogen syngas can then be filtered to produce 99.9999% hydrogen that is required for most fuel cells or other commercial needs for hydrogen. The major advantage of our method of producing hydrogen syngas and hydrogen gas is that the gas is used as it is being made. There is no need to store the hydrogen syngas or hydrogen gas. Biomass to Energy LLC’s technology only stores non-flammable, non-toxic and non-polluting biomass fuels.
The Biomass to Energy Systems use a reformer called the Green Power Machine. The Green Power Machines are 80% to 85% selective at converting biomasses to hydrogen. The resulting hydrogen syngas is 40% to 45% hydrogen with the remaining syngas consisting of nitrogen (because of the supplied air that is added in the process of reformation), small amounts of CO2 and CO, trace gases and moisture. The following are examples of three types of Green Power Machine Systems. Each system can be sized and configured for different applications and capacities.
Note: Systems #2 & #3 are commonly called combined heat and power (CHP) systems. |
