Cheering Local power generation and heating from community fuels

By: Chris Scott

Today in the existing fiscal crisis, it is even more obvious how unhinged our recent economic state of affairs is, and many of these problems are due to central power, money and industrial institutions. Basically most of the money, energy (oil,gas) and jobs that people use and are apart of are controlled by a few extremely large organizations. The problem with this is that when they make mistakes it affects the --------------- market, because they are the market. The other problem is they themselves are no most at risk from these mistakes. Take the banks for instance; while they caused the crisis from irrespirable lending, they themselves are now seeing a recovery while the rest of the market is going to struggle for at least the next few years. Things need to change, and can be changed by decentralizing many central areas of our life?s. A key area of decentralization that needs to be looked at is small-scale power generation. In Germany today this philosophy is being put into practice with great result. Basically instead of a few big power stations feeding the network, a large group of small power generators feed the grid. This has several benefits in terms of jobs and the environment. With regards to jobs, by decentralizing the power grid provides local jobs in a secure industry. Small-scale production is also a direct incentive for energy efficiency, a key element in tackling global warming. The small-scale energy producer gets paid on how much energy they produce, therefore the less power they use, the more cash they make. This motivation is the easiest way on a large scale to make people play a practical role in reducing energy use. So how on a small scale can energy be generated from local resources?

The first point that comes to mind it clearly wind and solar power, and these are together valid ways to create electricity on a small scale. However to in fact run a small business the size of wind or solar farm actually has to be quite large. So how could you run a small-scale energy business on local resources to generate a substantial income? The answer is biomass and gasification. Biomass is organic material that can be used as a fuel; this includes wood, straws, grasses and waste. Gasification is a way to break the biomass down into its basic elements. This gas can then be used in an internal combustion engine to make electricity.

The easiest method to use biomass in gasification systems in an automatic process is to upgrade the biomass into pellets. Pellets are condensed forms of their fundamental raw material, and have a uniform shape, size and density. These features mean pellets flow like a liquid and are best for automatic feed systems into a gasifier.
