Biomass processing plants want the biomass being produced in hundreds of ways. Forest fuels reduction projects, dairies, community green waste disposal locations, agricultural and industrial operations all produce massive amounts of waste and disposal of that waste is a major problem. There are grants available from numerous sources that address disposal. For example, if a forest fuels reduction project is under consideration for a grant and the project includes removal of all the biomass produced, that project is far more likely to be awarded!
Today, there are numerous biomass processing plants that are operating, under construction or in the planning phase. The owners of these plants understand the value that can be derived from all types of biomass and huge investments are being made to use biomass as a low-cost feedstock for their plants. We are in a new a fast-growing era of biomass utilization worldwide. Now there is an opportunity for all producers of biomass to cooperate with processing plants to efficiently dispose of biomass and to ultimately monetize it.
Biomass Processing plants need feedstock of one type of biomass or another. The feedstock supply needs to be controlled… not too much and not too little, and it must never be interrupted. Biomass Trader is a new and critical tool that pairs processing plants with producers. Plants and producers can form long-term relationships, but the production is rarely consistent, so plants need a back up plan to obtain the right feedstock if their usual supply chain slows or stops for any reason. Now, with Biomass Trader, plants can find producers quickly and avoid costly work stoppages.
Producers have a similar challenge. They often need to dispose of their biomass in an environmentally friendly way and on schedule. Processing plants are not 100% efficient. They may not be online yet, they may slow production for a variety of reasons or the producer may face new competition as the biomass industry expands. A quick check on Biomass Trader will help producers find alternate destinations for their biomass so that they do not have to turn to expensive alternatives like storage or loss of value due to aging and rot.
Today, most biomass is wasted. Producers need more than disposal… they want to monetize their biomass! Biomass Trader can make that happen. If you produce biomass in your operation or operate a biomass processing plant, an interdependent relationship between the two is essential. Biomass Trader is the site where producers and operators can communicate, buy and sell biomass or receive notice when a new source of biomass is listed. Biomass Trader is an informational website and information is often the most valuable commodity of all!
Most biomass, if left in place, causes serious air and water pollution. If the biomass is not removed and converted to energy or otherwise recycled, it must be burned, buried on site or sent to a landfill. By converting biomass to energy, fossil fuel use and environmental pollution are reduced. Biomass Trader alerts plant operators and producers to a mutually beneficial opportunity and provides an easy way to increase the efficiency of both, while being a friend to the planet.
