Ethanol's expensive. Make your own from your waste biomass?

[cyclopath]

@Lincoln20XX nah, that’s a dumb idea

one we’ve discussed in person I believe…

I’ve certainly been preaching it around here.

any experience with A-pinene as a green solvent to extract cbd

Sure, but if I can make ethanol from cellulosic hemp waste (my waste), in fact MORE than I need, why should I switch to another solvent? A renewable is a renewable no? (Yes, I will read the article :-)) Edit: just to be clear…there is still a big old “IF” in the cellulosic ethanol from spent hemp waste (at least in my world). The folks at Rainier Distillers claim they’ve got a critter (micro-organism) up for the task, and I’ve got a team member who thinks he’s got a handful of likely candid…

Vacuum systems for getting rid of spent biomass

There are so many ways to skin this cat… my biggest concern is what are we doing with all the skin and bones? (spent biomass & sticks.). I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I want to make my extraction solvent with it. via cellulosic ethanol production. @Shadownaught has enzymes that might enable that (in case someone else wants to try). Fungi are the correct answer, whether selected or engineered, or even just as a source of the enzymology. introducing a half dozen novel genes into a …

Iso vs ethonal

I still have yet to see extractor actually file anything with the Feds to retrieve back taxes. yeah. I don’t think our accounting team tried that either. I ran across it while looking at the possibility of making my own. I was hoping to feed my spent biomass to edible mushrooms, and use them for my carbon source. Paul Stamets is on record suggesting it 10 years ago, but when I tried contacting him a couple of years back he didn’t have a working system yet. He’d had “some success”, but …

Ideas for used Bio-Mass

pelletizing and burning might be an option. it won’t work in an All Power Labs gasifier, but I believe they’re working on a steam generator now that would work with this feed stock. I’m aiming at cellulosic ethanol. Rainier Distillers claimed they have that solved when I last talked to them, but I haven’t gotten my fungal savant in touch with them, and am currently not convinced.

Soil Remediation and biomass energy

not a clue. there is huge acreage devoted to rape seed for biofuel. corn too. but neither of those are using the whole plant. If you don’t extract your biomass first, it should work in the All Power rig, and save you the work-up of a steam generation plant. Pelletized post extraction biomass that won’t work in the Power Pallet, would presumably work just fine in a steam generation scheme. I’ve got a real smart kid I need to get working on cellulosic ethanol using fungi, but even then the e…
