Even in countries which have shortages of natural energy resources, huge volumes of waste biomass are produced each year in the form of wood residues or agricultural and crop wastes. As awareness of resource conservation has increased, more and more residues are diverted to other uses, but there is still a significant amount remaining.
Disposal of biomass residues presents an environmental problem when they are burned in the fields or in open pits. Many governments have banned such burning, leaving producers with growing piles of environmentally harmful waste but with no disposal solutions.
Fossil fuels, derivatives of crude oil, provide the building blocks for the chemical industry. The environmental damage from petroleum refining is severe. Estimated volume of flared gases from petroleum wells and refining in the United States are now in excess of 300 billion cubic feet per year.
EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND THE KYOTO PROTOCOL
Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, an agreement to enter the first legally binding treaty to be signed by 150 nations, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by seven per cent in the United States by 2010.
Woodland's technologies actually allow the Kyoto mandate to be taken one step further: reduced emission of greenhouse gases is achieved by the reduced production of greenhouse gases.
By using Woodland's CPR™ technology and renewable materials as feedstock, not only are greenhouse gas emissions eliminated, but in addition, the resulting pollution accumulating in the environment is overcome!
