Bioliq Process 1)Rapid Pyrolysis Hot sand, pressure Char, oil 2) Slurry Production Char and oil mix bioslurry 3) Gasification Bioslurry w/ oxygen through gasifier 4) Purification and Conditioning Salts, h2S, COS, CS2, HCI, NH3, HCN Prevents poisoning 5) Synthesis Bio-liquid

Benefits Green Globally, and Locally by reducing, greenhouse gases Pollution CO 2 emissions Use of parts of the biomass that is not normally used Don’t need to rely on other countries More jobs

Cons Uses top soil Non-renewable Uses lots of water Need more to grow more biomass to feed and for fuel Takes time to grow the biomass Needs a lot of land Biodiversity loss Increase costs of crops

What it produces: Heat Electrical power Automotive fuel

Every agricultural enterprise produces organic wastes Agricultural enterprises produce liquid manure from livestock and can be produced into biogas Carbon Dioxide is releases during biogas production Energy produced from organic waste has the most potential of savings on greenhouse gases.

Biogas plants Biogas plants need to be upgraded along with agro-biofuels. The system requires the increase of concentration in the biogas mixture. Consists nearly 100% of methane Gas grid can produce heat and automotive fuel
