Re: Charcoal





Hello John,
I see the National news here in Canada has highlighted the greenhouse 
industry's heating cost crisis in British Columbia and the renewed 
controversy over emissions from wood fuels. The same is happening 
here in Ontario. Cheap fossil fuels have helped keep the lid on the 
development of very clean wood chip and pellet burning systems for 
home and industry. There are exceptions but as far as I have heard 
the suppliers of large systems over 500,000 btu/hr are practically 
frozen out of the Ontario market by environment legislation. We need 
to have another look ourselves as the cost incentives are adding up.

Is fluidized bed system that you mentioned strictly capable of 
burning your char product or will you have to compete with coal and 
other biomass if this system turns out to be very clean?

Is your charcoalling  process restricted to sawdust?

Regards,
