| TBE works in partnership with companies and communities, using patented technology to build innovative renewable energy systems as a strategic new direction for our waste and energy challenges. | |

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. RECOVER. With the global mandate to “go green”, companies and communities are embracing alternative energy solutions as the way of the present. Sustainable practices will help us navigate today’s environmental and financial challenges. Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Common words and hopefully, common practice. At Taylor Biomass Energy, we’ve gone the next step. We’re focused on the last “R” – Recover. (The one that doesn’t usually get a lot of attention.) We spend a lot of time thinking about how to use the material that otherwise ends up in landfills. Our business is turning waste into energy. We’re serious about not wasting our waste. A Two-Fold Challenge: As our population grows, communities are producing more waste. Not only are traditional disposal methods – landfills and incineration – harmful to the environment and increasing in cost, eventually we simply run out of places to put what we throw away. There’s another side to the equation. As our population grows, communities have a greater need for energy. This demand makes us more dependent on fossil fuels, and drives up our energy costs. Taylor Biomass Energy helps communities solve both challenges with one unique solution. We specialize in technology that transforms waste into energy. And, because no two communities are alike, our Taylor Technology can be tailored as an adaptable and wholly customized response to each unique need. |

At Taylor Biomass Energy, transforming waste into energy through biomass gasification is as easy as learning your ABCs. For each community, and prospective facility, we work with our engineers to design a flexible system comprised of three integrated components. We’ll call the components the A, the B, and the C. In each system design, the A is a customized variation of our advanced Taylor Sorting and Separating Process, the B component is the patented Taylor Gasification Process, and the C component fluctuates and is engineered based on each facility’s highest and best use for the product gas. Using its proprietary Taylor Sorting and Separating Process (the A component) in combination with its patented Taylor Gasification Process (the B component) and flexibility of product slate (C component), TBE stands out from the competing systems. |
||||
A — Wide Variety of Feedstocks |
||||
The proprietary Taylor Sorting and Separating Process is customized to accept a broad range of biomass feedstocks. While competing systems are narrow in scope and often accept one type of biomass, TBE Technology can be adapted to include virtually any available biomass material with minimal preparation. Unique models can be designed to accept whatever biomass is readily available and most economical, including MSW, C&D, wood waste, sludge, agricultural residues, energy crops and forestry by-products. |
||||
B — Patented Gasification Process |
||||
The innovative, patented Taylor Gasification Process features a unique gas conditioning step and produces a Medium Caloric Value (MCV) syngas, which results in a cleaner synthesis gas and more efficient process than competing biomass gasification technologies (plasma, air-blown and oxygen-blown). The Taylor Gasification Process can provide an overall power generation efficiency of over 40%, which is nearly a 2 fold increase in power when compared to the conventional combustion (or direct combustion) technologies in today’s marketplace. |
||||
C — Diverse Product Slate |
||||
The Taylor Energy Solution broadens the range of energy products that can be successfully produced through gasification to include a wider range of fuels, chemicals, and power. The product gas not only provides a renewable means for producing direct energy products (e.g. electric power, steam, natural gas substitute, and gaseous and liquid fuels), but moves beyond mere heating in application, to include viable alternatives to all current petroleum-based energy products and by-products; fuel for engines, gas turbines, or as a synthesis gas for the production of chemicals (e.g. Fisher-Tropsch liquids and hydrogen). |
||||
| The Taylor Technololgy has multiple commercial applications, and has a high investment appeal because of the project’s potential for replication and the flexibility of the system design that can be tailored to the unique needs of almost any situation. The Taylor Solution is a truly renewable, highly adaptable, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective “biomass to energy” model that can easily be replicated and tailored to suit the available biomass supply and energy needs of most any community or industry anywhere in the world. And as we do what we do best, with each tailored solution, Taylor Biomass Energy is helping to shift our dependence from fossil fuels, to alternative forms of sustainable energy. |
