With E-Coal Electric Utilities Can Achieve Mandatory Emissions Reductions Today!

Oct. 25, 2008 - PRLog -- Seattle, WA : It has never been easier for an electric power utility to lower its harmful emissions and CO2 levels, thanks to NewEarth Renewable Energy’s clean–burning fuel, E-Coal. This advanced 100% biomass replaces fossil coal pound for pound in coal burning power plants without any retrofits or down time. E-Coal is the perfect flex fuel replacement for coal because it has exactly the same energy content as fossil coal. In addition, this CO2 negative and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) neutral sustainable fuel immediately lowers any electric power generation station’s total CO2 and GHG emissions by the proportion or ratio in which it is used.

E-Coal is made from cellulosic material (i.e., energy crops, agricultural waste, dead wood, seaweed) that is not food. E-Coal is also an improvement over all other forms of biomass fuel such as regular wood and wood pellets because NewEarth’s proprietary technology transforms biomass into a nearly clean burning fuel that has an energy content equal to that of fossil coal and none of the harmful volatiles and CO2 found in regular wood or biomass and fossil coal.

Through the process of NewEarth’s sustainable ECO Pyro-Torrefaction (EPT) process the energy properties of the biomass are augmented and refined to create what is essentially the cleanest burning biomass fuel in the world for electric power generation. The EPT process transforms the molecular structure of the biomass into a more refined fuel, similar to the energy nature of coal, but without any pollution side effects because all pollutants have been removed in the process. This technology can be used today in the existing coal burning power infrastructure, without costly investments or retooling. Any coal burning electric power generation station anywhere (U.S., China, Europe, etc.), in just one day can begin to directly co-fire a 20% blend with fossil coal (which fulfills the environmental mandate for a 20% CO2 emissions reduction), or completely replace its coal load with 100% E-Coal and become CO2 and GHG neutral and solve all of its environmental challenges once and for all. Finally, a true solution to Global Warming is here.
