Coal is used across our planet as a source of energy, and has been for a very long time. Among the biggest consumers of coal are traditional power plants that burn it in huge quantities to produce electricity for the power grid. By burning this substance as fuel, these plants emit carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and produce vast amounts of a waste product called fly ash. Managing carbon dioxide and fly ash can be a challenging task, especially as environmental regulations have become more severe. Many power plants are facing having to shut down due to the huge cost of complying with the regulations.
MP BioMass is a company that offers cutting edge technological solutions to address the issues of CO2 emissions, and fly ash production, providing not only an affordable solution but one that can increase the bottom line.
The technology is based on the engineering of AST and CNR and their partnership with Gima Construction. AST and CNR own the IP and World Wide Patents to this technology, and MP BioMass has been given the right to represent this system to the rest of the world.
Carbon dioxide emissions are alleged to contribute to the green house effect and global warming. To combat the constant increase of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere due to an industrializing and growing global population, nations are considering taking strong measures such as imposing carbon taxes.
One technological solution that MP Biomass offers is a method of capturing the carbon dioxide from flue gases, to totally eliminate CO2 emissions. This is accomplished via a world-wide patented system that they assert mimics a form of artificial photosynthesis.
Their "nano-membrane pyro-gasification process" not only extracts CO2 from flue gases, but prevents other pollutants from escaping into the atmosphere. The process also captures oxygen (grade 5), and isolates hydrogen from the flue gases. This allows for the production of methanol and electricity, of which a small portion are used to keep the process going. The amount of methanol produced seems impressive, with 551 gallons being produced from each ton of carbon dioxide captured.
In addition to being produced in large quantities, the methanol is also said to have a very high cetane rating, which is the measure of combustion quality. The methanol produced by MP BioMass's process is asserted to have a cetane rating of sixty or higher, which equates to high grade, premium fuel, able to run in an automobile without modification.
