Carbon-based durable goods and renewable fuel from biomass waste dissociation

Abstract

Techniques, systems, apparatus and material are disclosed for generating renewable energy from biomass waste while sequestering carbon. In one aspect, a method performed by a reactor to dissociate raw biomass waste into a renewable source energy or a carbon byproduct or both includes receiving the raw biomass waste that includes carbon, hydrogen and oxygen to be dissociated under an anaerobic reaction. Waste heat is recovered from an external heat source to heat the received raw biomass waste. The heated raw biomass waste is dissociated to produce the renewable fuel, carbon byproduct or both. The dissociating includes compacting the heated raw biomass waste, generating heat from an internal heat source, and applying the generated heat to the compacted biomass waste under pressure.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This application claims priority to and benefit of US Patent Application 61 / 304,403, filed February 13, 2010, entitled FULL SPECTRUM ENERGY AND RESOURCE INDEPENDENCE, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In the event of a conflict with the disclosure given herein of the foregoing applications and / or any other material incorporated herein by reference, the disclosure herein controls. Background technique [0003] The present application relates to devices, techniques and materials related to carbon sequestration and renewable energy production from biomass waste. [0004] Aquatic plants and vegetative ground cover, especially farms and forests, are important carbon dioxide collectors, natural habitats for countless wildlife, and sources of fiber for applications ranging from paper products to building materials. Deforestation has occurred on nearly all continents because the introduction of non-native pests and climate c...
