This is quite interesting as one of the new technologies for the future.Theslowlane Robert Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082164332880198884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311425.post-19854780001761227282008-01-03T19:13:00.000-08:002008-01-03T19:13:00.000-08:00Hello Robert and all other readers,Education for p...Hello Robert and all other readers,<BR/>Education for positive change, networking around the world can speed up the exchange of information. Good on you for loud thinking. There is not just one thing that can do all things, logically, therefore your headline question is about "saving the world", from what one should ask here. <BR/>"Slow Pyrolysis" in contrast to "Fast Pyrolysis" is about conversion of biomass at ca. 500°C to 550°C to so called "Pyrolysis Gas", Biochar / Agrichar, and Industrial Heat. <BR/>It is about decentralised conversion of organic matter, by-products and compostable waste material like manure, weeds, sawdust, woody weeds. Please feel free to explore the situation via this website: www.bestenergies.com.au <BR/>Holistic thinking and responsible land and water catchment management, pro-active fire prevention management, reduced herbicide chemicals along roads, proper wind break management and harvesting of wood by thinnings, all these have to do with this topic. Jobs, education, training, research, trade opportunities, health issues - all have to do with this new industry. <BR/>There are now many good discussions and research projects around the world. Just look for example via google: "Terra Preta Youtube" or "Biochar Youtube" etc.<BR/>Let me know if you become less skeptical after reading and listening to the information provided for example via the website and video linked to the BEST Energies website.<BR/>Cheers from Tasmania<BR/>Just FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
