Go Greener Tips

“The tremendous amount of animal waste generated by the livestock industry must be carefully managed to avoid damage to watersheds and air quality. Manure hauling and disposal are huge bottom line costs to operators. We are working to enable America’s farmers and ranchers to utilize the manure generated by their operations as a feedstock for clean, renewable, domestic energy production.” K Clark, President/CEO of Green Energy

“The Environmental Protection Agency reports one of the biggest challenges facing livestock producers is managing manure and process water in a way that protects environmental quality and controls odor. In one day, a cow generates 120 pounds of manure. California’s dairies alone produce 70 billion pounds of manure each year. Finding ways to manage such a staggering amount of waste is challenging, especially considering the high costs of hauling and disposal and limited landfill space. If this waste is not properly managed, it can contaminate water supplies, threaten public health and contribute to climate change.”(EPA Waste Management Division, August 2009). Supporting this statement Clark and her team at Green Energy Live is spearheading the development of manure-to-electricity conversion systems.

The estimated value of the US livestock industry is set at $154 Billion and being a leader in the emerging waste/biomass-to-ethanol industry, Green Energy Live focus their strategies to leveraging proprietary gasification technology for the development of self-contained, greener, renewable energy gasification systems to deployed at the waste site.

The bio waste conversion technologies that process methane gas from the manure of animals will be converted into electricity. Utilising these technologies over a million livestock farmers and ranchers can convert their animal waste into clean, renewable energy supplying their own electricity needs. Selling excess electricity to the open market will also be an avenue for exploration

Green Energy Live is sure to set the standards for Green energy generation ensuring a strategy for reducing waste disposal costs focusing on capital growth and investing in a green future.
