Roseburg News Review
07/04/2010
The interesting thing about this is that this news item and probably others as well is creating work for biochar Products with our 1 Ton per day plant. 1.We have been planning a demonstration trip with the plant to California and that will now occur in August.
2. We recently received a request from the Agricultural Research Service in Prosser, Washington. They have asked us to process 3 to 4 tons of pellets made from cow manure that had been used in a methane digester. They want it to be processed into char.
3. We have received a second request for demonstrations with our plant to be done in Nevada. The plans are just starting but we will probably plan for some demonstrations in October or November.
4. We also have received a request from Aubern University in Athens, GA to process 5 tons of sorghum into into 1 ton of char.
5. Finally we received a request from Penn State University, University Park, PA to process 5 tons of switchgrass into 1 ton of char.
The newest requests are not finalized but it dose look as though we will be able to continue to operate our plant for the next year. Hopefully in that time we will be able to get a new upgraded plant for further testing and movement towards real commercial plants.
