Biomass Distributed Power Systems: for Security and Futurity

by Mordechai Ben-Menachem

Military activity in Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern areas showed a very high rate of casualties amongst those involved in transport of goods to bases, with fuel transport, the worst of the worst. The most direct way to significantly alleviate this situation is to avoid transport of massive quantities of goods. Goods those that can be will in future be produced in situ – particularly for large bases, but even for smaller ones. This can also be so for warships; again, particularly for large ones, but also for small. If transport of fuel is the most dangerous of logistic jobs, it is obvious that this is where this new thinking ought to begin. ‘Luckily’ it is also the easiest place to begin. Energy can be practically produced at military bases, under military conditions! This book shows that large portions of energy and fuel may be produced locally, even in very small and remote bases. biomass systems, biomass reactors, energy systems, alternative energy, anaerobic digestion, electricity, solar energy, solar thermal, waste disposal, garbage, sewage
