Let us look at one such plant/ vegetation resource in India: the Banana Plant systems. India has an estimated 1, 200, 000 ha of banana plantation, generating not less than 18 million T of agrowastes (solids). This could be converted into not less than 1.35 million T of methane gas. If these were to be converted into Combined Heat + Electricity, the Energy potential from Banana Plantation wastes alone would be about 15, 870, 500 MWH (megawatt-hour). This converts into not less than 1830 MW (Heat + electricity Power, 24 x 360)

The aforementioned data could be extrapolated to many other unused (wasted) vegetation systems: Bagasse’, Parthenium weeds, water hyacinth weeds, various grasses, tree/ shrub plant wastes, and garden clippings etc. If we consider just 10% of India’s total land area, it works out to 33, 000, 000 ha; and at 15 T (green weight @ 23% solids) vegetation per ha, we would have not less than 113, 850, 000 T (solids) of wasted vegetation systems (annually available renewable resources). Converting these into methane gas and then to CHP, India would be able to generate not less than 11, 600 MW (heat + electric Power), utilizing a fraction of the vegetation systems that are now being wasted as useless

In spite of this fact and reality, our official scientists, engineers, planners, economists and statesmen (who consider that they  have the “Democratic Power” to “rule” India) bend over backwards to “importing” wrong technologies in the name of Solar, Wind and so on, at very high costs.

This writer wishes to tell all those “blindfolded” persons that we need not import anything at all; instead the entire energy needs could be solved through such locally available Renewable Resources (RR)

and below for More on Specific problem Solving in Energy Crisis situations

UK, like most of the developed world, is reeling under the “energy crisis” and other related problems of “Global Warming”. Here too, the most vulnerable people are the poorer sections of the community … an estimated 5 million households. The estimated average household power needs (for both general needs and home heating) are 50 KWH per day. And, if we consider these 5 million households, the total energy needed would be 250 million units per day (= 91.25 billion units in one year)

Now, on the basis of 1 Kg food wastes per day per individual in UK, we estimate a total daily food waste in UK @ 60, 000 T, which works out to 21.9 Million T per annum. If we were to source an additional 2, 737, 500 T of animal wastes (cow manure, swine manure, horse manure), there could be a total of 1, 825 APIX_MDG_ENERGY_12,000. If, we could also source 7, 300, 000 T vegetation wastes and 6, 387, 500 wood wastes, we could offer all of the energy generated from 1, 825 APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY_20,000 Modules FREE (= 17, 739, 000, 000 KWH)

We estimate the APIX system based power potential of Kenya as a maximum of 6, 000 MW and a low limit of 2, 250 MW. A report on this may be downloaded here, below:

APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY projects in Kenya

AGRO-BIOGENICS offer FREE ENERGY … we are looking for Venture support entrepreneurs, to LEAD at the Energy and Materials front

… converting AGROWASTES/FOOD WASTES/ANIMAL WASTES into ENERGY & ENGINEERING MATERIALS

JOBS to millions of JOBLESS in Developing Nations

WHAT OUR PROJECTS OFFER ON EACH APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY_20,000 MODULE:

 FREE POWER to an extent of 1.125 MW (HEAT + ELECTRICITY)

 Annual CHARITY DONATIONS to a maximum extent of US $312, 500

 FULL TIME JOBS to 150 Local People

 SUBSIDIZED BIOFERTILIZER to local Farmers

Developing Nations such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria and many others could have not less than 6, 000 such APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY_20,000 Modules in each nation, generating over 6,000 MW power in each nation and offering jobs to millions, who would otherwise be jobless and struggling to live.

CALLING GOVERNMENTS IN DEVELOPING NATIONS

SUPPORT APIX_FREE-ENERGY PROJECTS

TO GENERATE FREE ENERGY & JOBS TO MILLIONS

TO ACHIEVE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

BE LEADERS … NOT “ALSO RAN”

APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY_20,000 modules would convert 20, 000 Tons of various vegetation systems/ wastes into high value Wood Substitutes and Engineering materials. These GREEN products would help in not only mitigating Global Warming, but would also help change the economic scenario of all developing nations, through increased development of village areas. Shifting populations would stop, altogether, reducing the congestion related problems in cities. People would have more purchasing power, and these would lead to a cascading of further developments

What is the benefit to the entrepreneur? … ROI is estimated @ 32% on investment; Annual Cash-flow (after repayment) is estimated @ 40%

Our estimated annual Turnover during the Third year of operation would be:

• FREE-POWER …………………………………… 1125 KW

• Insitu Power (for processes) ………………… 275 KW

• Wood Substitute Products ……………………. 1500 T

• Hybrid Carbon Sink Engineered Products … 9840 T

• Biofertilizer ……………………. 1089 T Solids (41, 184 T sludge)

  Estimated Turnover …………………………… US $30, 000, 000

The twin-problems of the world: Global Warming and Poverty (GWP) need to be answered simultaneously; and cannot be done through piece-meal/ knee-jerk reactions… The answer lies in not only looking at the energy crisis but also at the problems of poverty. This is done by setting up Agro-Polymer Industry Complex-Sustainability Engineered Projects (APIX-SEP) … please see:

http://www.agro-biogenics.com/apix.html

AGRO-BIOGENICS (http://www.agro-biogenics.com) have developed a new Zero-Waste Zero-Carbon Business Model (ZW-ZC-BM), which would guarantee FREE POWER Supply to “customers”

Download a pdf of a presentation on these here: APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY PROJECT_final

Also: APIX_MDG_FREE-ENERGY PROJECT_refined

About 15, 000 T of Wastes + 5, 000 T vegetation matter/ sawdust/ wood wastes (supplied as input Free) would be used to produce the following end products:

• 1. Power (Heat + Electricity) ……………. 1.125 MW (Supplied back Free)

• 2. Power (heat + electricity) …………….275 KW (For internal needs)

• 3. Engineered Composites (NFPC) ……… 1, 500 T

• 4. Bio-fertilizer (solids) …………………….. 1,089T (in total sludge = 41, 184 T)

• 5. Carbon Sink Engineered Products (CSEP) … 7,112 T

• 6. CSEP Hybrid Adhesive ……………………………………… 9,840 T
  

• 7. “Green” sulfur ………………………………………… 23.1 T

  [Items 3, 4, 6 and 7 in the above list would be marketed separately; approximate value in Indian Market = $30,000,000, which is about INR.1, 400, 000, 000; Electricity + heat energy (9, 720, 000 units) are for FREE. Carbon Credit potentials = 8,667, valued €216,675]

SALIENT FACTS OF FREE ENERGY PROJECT

1. This project produces the LOWEST COST Energy

2. Average ROI would be > 32.6%

3. The project is viable and highly attractive without any Government support

4. Any Government support + carbon Credits are extras, and economically beneficial

5. This project has the lowest environmental impact, as non-toxic organic wastes are completely utilized

6. The project attacks the twin-problems of Global Warming and Poverty (GWP) in “one-shot”

7. The project is most suited to Developed Nations (where home heating is a major energy need); and this project offers heat as one of the energy products

The costs of setting up the project (without computing the “working capital” or the initial running costs) are estimated @ US $4,000,000. Government subsidies could be elicited

AGRO-BIOGENICS would combine with entrepreneurs to set up and run such 1 MW Power + Engineered Composites APIX-SEP Modules in any part of the world. The entire funds would have to be arranged for the project by the Supporter/ Entrepreneur; and the entire 1 MW power (which constitutes approximately 400 KW Electricity + 600 KW Heat) would be supplied FREE to the entrepreneur, in return. Additionally the business would be finally owned by the entrepreneur, on the basis of the following terms (where the business values other than Power would be combined business):

TERMS OF REFERENCE:

A new Company would be formed for the purpose of setting up APIX-SEP_Free-Energy projects. The first of these projects would be the 1 MW Power + Composites module. AGRO-BIOGENICS would be offered 50% shares, against “values” received in terms of technology, project support and knowledge-inputs. This would be diluted to 31% at the end of ten years from date of commercialization of the plant. The dilution of the said 19% shares would be on an agreed value or at the prevalent market price (whichever is higher) … please refer: http://www.agro-biogenics.com/Services.htm (Please Note: The Power generated is entirely FREE to the entrepreneur/supporter)
