IIs there anyone else named Phil on the list that would like to respond for Phil Badger?

I had to pay bills for two months and then I needed some cash so I can go marriage agency dates in Ukraine. I lived in Ukraine for a year so I kinda know whats up. I found a woman there that likes me. She looks like Meagan Fox but she has larger breasts. She sells cosmetics and lives in Melitopol. I work next to a corporate lake and the lake is feed by storm run off. The lake has some good wildlife and I have taken to turtle rescue when the chelons get stuck in the drainage pipes. I got ten already. I have a snapper hatchling and hand sized softshell on a shelf by my desk. That's pretty cool Phil but it has nothing to with biomass. I don't talk about gasifiers here because I don't know Jack. Sometimes you just need to shut up and listen. Yea so I decided I should read about the matter. This book is great. http://www.amazon.com/Transportation-Biofuels-Production-Biodiesel-Chemistry /dp/1849730431 I got an eCopy if you want to see the relevant material. The methane part looks way doable and in fact I'm slowly working on that. I found sciencedirect.com which has a great index and all of the papers on the matter are availalbe for free at the uni library but I don't have my Indiana drives lic/ID yet so its another two weeks. The papers come to $4500 if I have to pay. I wrote an executive summary for someone at GoBig and I after I sent that off they asked for an executive summary and asked a few other questions. I made a good post at GEK and I got ass kissy with Mr. Mason trying to amend my earlier offences. Whats up with you Tom?

This amount has been regulated to grow both now and in the future. To date, wind and solar sources have been providing most of this energy while biomass sourced energy has lagged. Utilities have been rejecting new applications for wind and solar energies while courting biomass providers as many slots are still open. Alchemy has determined a course to make low cost biofuel to fulfill these requirements is a realistic and profitable goal. After reviewing scientific literature on the matter I, (working as Alchemy Fuels) have decided that a two stage reactor designed to make methane is the most efficient route to a biofuel called biogas. This method was developed early in the biofuels research efforts and then abandoned in favor of ethanol and other more lucrative transportation fuels. Methane is a well founded and well functioning fuel for generators designed to work with natural gas. This process is well reviewed and appreciated by the scientific community for its ease use and lack of exotic requirements. It can be described as a methane digester without the required tons of manure feedstock. The research was pioneered by a scientist named Gaddy who founded a company called BRI. The process is referred as the microbial catalyst cellulosic fuel pathway. The process uses the output from gasifiers that use wood mass as a feedstock. A handful of gases are provided by the gasifier with the most important being carbon monoxide and the lesser gases being hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. All of the gasses are used in the process. The first stage of the process uses a bacteria called p. productus that uses the CO for growth and CO2 for the production of acetate which is the feedstock for the second and final stage where a bacteria called m. barkeri uses the acetate and hydrogen to make methane. Methane, unlike ethanol , does not need distilling which saves considerable effort, energy and money. The market for the gas or gas use comes from the aforementioned lack of biomass energy providers. Contract length is from 10 20 years, amount of sale is typically 800 kilo watts per hour and the compensation is from $.10 - $.15 per Kw hour. Providers are typically allowed to provide 24 hours a day. Demand may vary but demand is typically strong. Biogas contracts are generally designed for methane digesters but this type of process meets the legal definition of biogas even without the $1 million digester. This is a niche market but it can provide excellent returns and a number of contracts can be signed simultaneously. Sales are assured, no distribution network is required. Plants like this operate at a technician level and not an engineer or scientist level. There are few critical points that may induce failure. The required insurance is difficult to get but I have found a provider and at least one work around method. Plants should be located near the biomass source to save money on transportation and when the gas is made, it can be shipped at much less expense to the generating facilities . The plants will be filled with wood biomass, gasifiers and vats that look like microbrewery vats. Being averse to large expenditures, I recommend a modest approach to first make a five gallon reactor using bottled gas, then a system using a small gasifier and then finally a system scaled to produce fuel at the rate to meet the 800 kwh limit. The described process above is worth study and investment. The science is sound, the investment and risk is small, operating overhead is very low and sales are guaranteed. It appears margins should be very wide unlike typical margins that are available to investors. Questions may be directed to me at the email address above.
