What is "Recycling Carbon?

Recycling Carbon, or "Carbon Recycling" is an environmentally superior method of providing the "Carbon Free Energy" and "Pollution Free Power" that society needs without harming the environment.  Renewable fuels such as Biomethane, B100 Biodiesel, E100 Ethanol and Synthesis Gas, can completely replace the need for fossil fuels on a 1-for-1 basis, thereby ending new net greenhouse gas emissions to an atmosphere and climate already super-saturated with carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.  When burning Biomethane, B100 Biodiesel, E100 Ethanol and Synthesis Gas for power and energy, the carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions generated are "recycled" back into the biomass used to generate these renewable fuels thereby preventing any new net carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions to the climate. 

Our economy requires power and energy for making society and business function.  Power and energy provides the electricity businesses need, as well as heat and air-conditioning for our homes, as well as the power we need for our factories and the fuel our cars need to take us to work and our children to school, and the hundreds of other needs our cars provide us. The fossil fuels we use to produce the power and energy our society requires, contains "hydrocarbons."  When hydrocarbons are burned, they combine with oxygen forming carbon dioxide during the combustion process, which is emitted in the form of "carbon dioxide emissions" from our factories' smokestacks, as well as from our homes' chimneys, and our cars tailpipes. 

The World Energy Council reported that global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels rose 12% between 1990 and 1995.

In 1996, carbon dioxide emissions increased by 2.8%. The U.S. reported a 3.3% increase in carbon dioxide emissions concentrations in the atmosphere. 

The U.S. economy is the most advanced and productive worldwide, however, in having this leading economy, requires the use of significant amounts of power and energy and the U.S., therefore, generates 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. 

Every year, the power and energy needs of society add over 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.  In addition, about 400 to 500 million tons of methane and biomethane emissions are release to the environment each year from livestock, coal mining, drilling for oil and natural gas, rice cultivation, and garbage that is decomposing in landfills.  These harmful emission remain in the atmosphere for only 10 years, but traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide.

What is Energy Resource Planning?

The purpose of Energy Resource Planning (ERP)seeks to utilize and integrate the requisite analytical concepts and tools necessary to approach the problems of planning for an adequate energy supply and demand balance at the local, regional and national levels.  With a greater focus on reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, there is an increasing emphasis on "Carbon Free Energy" and "Pollution Free Power."  Renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies are viewed as the preferred path forward for providing for energy supply and demand in conjunction with Demand Side Management.

How we make and distribute electricity is changing! 

The electric power generation, transmission and distribution system (the electric "grid") is changing and evolving from the electric grid of the 19th and 20th centuries, which was inefficient, highly-polluting, very expensive and “dumb.”  

The "old" way of generating and distributing energy resembles this slide:
