Biosphere Gasification Process
Local Authorities require energy, and in time past paid much of their running costs from this, eg the local gasworks.
Gasification is the process in which a carbon-based, high-caloric material also known as municipal solid waste (MSW) (i.e. anything other than glass, masonry, metals and nuclear waste) goes through a thermal transformation process in an oxygen-deprived environment in which it is converted into a variety of products: an inert ash, various chemicals, synthesis gas (syngas) and steam.
The Biosphere Gasification Process is a 30 year proven technology currently deployed internationally.

The process produces clean energy which…
1. Eliminates Solid and Liquid Waste
2. Reduces Landfill Volume by 93%
3. Consumes 172 Tons of Waste/Unit/Day
4. Recovers Brown Field and Landfill Sites for Development
5. Generates 7-10 Megawatts Continuous Power/Hr
6. Distills 53,000 Gallons of Drinkable Water/Unit/Hr
7. Produces Inert Ash Sold to Commercial & Industrial Market
