Climate change has fast become the planet's greatest challenge, caused primarily by burning fossil fuels that took 300 million years to create. Transform Energy is working to turn bio-waste into "green coal" produced in radically-dispersed, and affordable kilns. This creates a virtuous cycle where plants pull carbon dioxide from the air to grow and burn torrefied biomass which releases carbon dioxide from this era... Transform Energy produces a marketable substitute for coal by transforming mesquite and other invasive hardwoods through a village-based process of torrefaction. Mesquite (Prosipis Juliflora) is readily available for use in the torrefaction process. Mesquite produces a 165 foot tap root, and plentiful above ground, harvestable wood. We will start 200-hectare mesquite plantations in semi-arid village locations in..
