[Stoves] [Biochar] Charcoal producing electrical power plant

[Ronal Larson]

Kirk and stoves list.  2 ccs


	Constructive (?) comments:

	1.  I suggest that your ideas have merit and should be pursued.  I see nothing wrong with your diagram.  
		 15 or more years ago, on the stoves list, Alex English modified an existing commercial unit somewhat like your design - mainly by speeding  up the moving biomass.  I believe considered successful

	2.  But I believe yours  is too large a jump up for any single person to accomplish without big money behind them.

		Three solutions:
			a.  Make a sales pitch to work with companies already doing something similar - I think there may be more that 20 in the US alone, with a thermal output focus.  The competition against PV, wind and batteries is likely too tough in this size range.. 
			b.  Pick a smaller size final need and apparatus, where there is little going on.  In this case continuous (non-batch) charcoal-making heating stoves.
			c.  Maybe focus on a do-it-yourself audience - willing to use horizontal 200 liter drums.

	3.   I’d focus on wood chips - as being much cheaper and more readily available than pellets.  Large pieces of wood don’t look at all amenable to what you are proposing.  I don’t see much happening with chips for combined char-making and heating.

	4.  Conceivable that such a stove user could make money while heating.

Constructive?

Now my attention has turned to producing wood gas and char on a larger scale for a carbon negative (relating to the atmosphere) electrical power plant.  Attached are documents which describe where the idea is going.  The pyrolyzer is a brainstorming idea.  The bluff body burner is quite well developed.
