TYPES OF BIOMASSTYPES OF BIOMASS

Organic matter available on a renewable basis. Biomass includes forest and mill residues, agricultural crops and wastes, wood and wood wastes, animal wastes, livestock operation residues, aquatic plants, fast-growing trees and plants, and municipal and industrial wastes.

WHAT IS ACETYLENE?WHAT IS ACETYLENE?C2H2C2H2

Other Name: Ethyne, Ethine Simplest Hydrocarbon with a Triple Bond

Discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy (England) Former Times: Used to Light Stages (In the Lime Light);

Light Towns; Miners Lamps; Automotive Head Lights Present Days Usage of USA Production – 20% Welding

and Cutting; 80% Plastics & Organic Chemical Synthesis

WHAT IS ACETYLENE?WHAT IS ACETYLENE?C2H2C2H2

Manufactured From :1) The Reaction of Water and Calcium Carbide 2) The Thermal Cracking of Methane Gas 3) The Thermal Oxidation of Hydrocarbons or

Sources containing Hydrogen and Carbon

IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?

YES: If You Make It From Renewable Materials

Calcium Carbide – BioMass & Limestone Methane, Ethane or HydroCarbons – Wood

or Any BioMass Feed Stock

IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?

YES: Most Common Method From Making Calcium Carbide is

the Heating of Coal and Limestone to 3500-3800 F. We Can Chemically Replace the Coal with Charcoal

(Carbon For Carbon) and Make Calcium Carbide. The Calcium is Recycled in the Process.

IS ACETYLENE AN ABUNDANT?IS ACETYLENE AN ABUNDANT?

The Feed Stocks Is Abundant Because Plant Life, Rocks, and Water are Abundant on

Earth

IS ACETYLENE AN AFFORTABLE FUEL?IS ACETYLENE AN AFFORTABLE FUEL?

YES1. When Purchased In Cylinders, it is equal to $

1.87 Gasoline – See Go-Tec’s Saturn 2000 Car Road Test Data

2. When Produced from BioMass – Equal to 3.5 Cents per KWH Electricity – See SRADCO & ArrowHead Center Feasibility Studies
