Warning. This post also refers to PHE. If you are offended, or of a nervous disposition, stop reading now.
Thnx aandi for your responsible reply on gasification of biomass and plastic. trytrytryetc, was well chosen as avatar, Very trying.
There are natural ways to dispose of biomass, safely, without emission of greenhouse gases, and usefully. Good to know aandi is also not a great fan of using gasifiers to dispose.
Non recyclable plastic waste has been a no. 1 news item recently, but something always comes along with, it seems, with more devastating affects. With the now Global hype on H2, PHE, partic. Yeo (CEO) has gone down the H2 is everything route, and promoting DMG as the Planets saviour ( idiot). It may well be, but it wont be H2 from DMG. H2 is a useful 'add on' to the DMG, as it will be from syngas produced by EQT gasifiers. It is not cheap. Yeo is of the opinion, and is attempting to lead PHE SH's, and others, that a H2 fuelling station is a necessary add on to a gasifier plant. Not if Tesco, Shell, BP, etc, are selling H2 at much lower price, irrespective of colour. Up to 30% of GHG emissions are transport related, with the compounded health risks of Nitrous Oxides and carcinogenic particulates. H2 FC are well adapted to 'high cost' transport, such as HGV's trains, buses, ships and light weigh aircraft. The high cost of FC's is a major drawback cars. With new generations of Solid State batteries, and increased RnD, the likelihood, is that BEV will be the main choice for emission free driving, as log as the source of the electricity for charging is green(ish), ie not coal, or oil fired PS's, with the majority being renewable or nuclear. The end result must be the elimination of ICE engines, ASAP.
