1. Put "organic" biomass in a bio-biodigester. 2. Ferment with LID On. ( = anaerobic bacteria) 3. Capture the Fuel (CH4 = Natural Gas) 4. (when anaerobic fermentation over ... ) Several Options are available: A. Recover bacteria (dead or alive) for use later. - process bacteria (dry, cook, mix, bag, store) *store Organic protein meal for Shrimp B. Feed bacteria directly to Shrimp - simply introduce Shrimp after anaerobic phase by removing the LID (becomes aerobic) - Now the shrimp can feast and breathe O2. | |
(Bucket+LID) | Shrimp Farms can be very LOW tech: - big bucket or hole-in-ground /w plastic liner. - requires some form of "LID" for "Anaerobic" phase Biomass is very plentiful worldwide * (algae or sea weed, as starting biomass) |

Let them eat LOBSTER
"Organic" Shrimp for Hungry
Some Myths of Compost
• CARBON cannot enter through the Roots. Roots intake water and minerals (such as NPK) | |
• Carbon (CO2) enters Leaf stomata (under leaf). Stomata and Guard Cells are the door for CO2 and water (H2O) |
Cooking Methane: Soil and Hydrogen
Hydrogen: Most are familiar with Electrolysis 2( H20 ) + electricity = 2H2 + O2 Hydrogen is also cooked from Methane (Pyrolysis) CH4 + Heat = C (char) + 2H2 * No electricity required (not electrolysis) * Heat source can be "Solar" (Reflectors) |
Transporting Methane: Pipelines, Ships
Preference for CH4 Pipelines, Ships (fossil or not)
If a Methane pipeline has a leak - its flows "UP" into
the Air - not into the ground. It may even catch on
fire and burn explosively. BUT, when all is over, no
real local environmental damage is done.
Same goes for shipping in sensitive coastal areas
(such as the Georgia Strait, BC)
Once the fire is out, you only repair human construct.

Forest Fires: Natural Biochar
Accidental Biochar: Forest Fire (natural biochar). | |
Intentional Biochar
production is more orderly
and preserves wildlife, habitats, infrastructure, (* the benefits without the chaos) |
Land Wanted: Soil for Food
Story:
A few ambitious Israelis "borrowed" some topsoil
from public parks in Lebanon to bring back home ...
I asked my friend Jack, engineer with relations
in the area. Why did they do that?
After a bark of obviousness: "It takes Centuries!"
Acknowledging the historic geo-political importance
of "Dirt" capable of growing food...
Yet better stuff can now be made in hours that
does not rot away like compost, and offers much
superior qualities over average soil.
