TBE's proposed system provides an environmentally-sustainable process for commercial-scale production of biomass-based power. Our patent-pending gasification technology provides the flexibility to be configured to operate using the particular biomass resources in any location.
Reduce Material Placed in Landfills
The combination of TBE's advanced sorting and separating process coupled to our gasifier process can reduce materials going to landfills by approximately 90%. This will potentially reduce the cost of disposal for taxpayers and businesses.
Reduce Truck Pollution
The limited land available for landfill space has resulted in the transport of thousands of tons of materials to landfills in other states. The transport of these materials over long distances contributes to significant deterioration of the environment. Eevery 100 miles of travel by truck produces over 1 1/2 pounds of air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. The installation of one integrated TBE system of the size proposed for Montgomery, NY will reduce emissions of these pollutants by approximately 140,000 pounds annually by eliminating the transport of wastes.
Reduce Emissions
Gasification will reduce overall emissions by converting the incoming biomass into a combustible gas that will be cleaned to remove contaminants (such as nitrogen and sulphur containing compounds). When landfilled, the ash from an integrated Taylor system will not produce any net greenhouse gas emissions, including methane which is more than 20 times more hazardous to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Our process does not emit any carbon dioxide.
