The value of combustion:
Combustion first began to lead innovation due that combustion is the single most powerful source of energy available, once fossil fuels were discovered to provide high energy density, portable, systems powering transportation and power generation.
Combustion has been unfairly given a bad name by the knee-jerk reaction resulting from decades of endless climate debates forcing most of the public into learned helplessness over something we still don't fully understand. The trend has already given way to huge financial losses as wind, solar and batteries fail to adequately solve these concerns. While efforts are being made to improve nuclear energy, we remain decades away from sufficiency and then only if we can find a safe, sustainable solution for the 5% efficiency we derive from such a long term risk.
Why not repopulate the 50% of all trees, shade and land cover we have stripped from the earth and cultivate renewable fuel sources from those efforts to provide clean and sustainable combustion energy? As much as 70% of all fossil fuel consumption can be replaced by sustainable cultivation of plant based fuel furnishing innovative combustion designs to power homes, businesses and solve the need for electric and hydrogen transportation and energy production. Tens of thousands of new jobs emerge as well in this solution.
For energy production to be reliable and support the certainty of population increase it MUST be 24/7 on demand capable. Combustion is the only form of energy conversion which solves this. Combustion offers a fixed or portable, scalable process. Clean combustion can be fully renewable and cleaner than the climate requires if we simply stop producing methane losses from natural gas which are 30 times more reflective than Co2 and last as long as 12 years in the atmosphere.
When refined plant based fuels are combusted in a manner of sufficient oxygen, hydrogen and water, the result is a higher emission of flammable carbon monoxide (CO), (not carbon dioxide, (CO2)). Carbon monoxide which burns to complete equilibrium is a lean combustion model. Under the right conditions the carbon is consumed with excess oxygen and evolved hydrogen to become heat which causes expansion to drive mechanical power as the CO is broken down and consumed.
In a reciprocating internal combustion engine at 30% efficiency, this process cannot be utilized. The amount of raw fuel required to produce ample power and overtake the mechanical resistance in the engine demands wasting unburnt fuel to reach peak performance.
Carbon Analytic's remedy to this is the chemical conversion in fuel refinement first and again during external combustion to generate the correct balance of hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide. This combination is then consumed in a turbine combustion chamber where the fuel can be heated rapidly, with a short combustion duration and longer residence time to reach complete equilibrium. The process can directly drive electrical generation or closed loop steam generation such as power companies use.
In the Carbon Analytic design, it is the size of the equipment which manages combustion dynamics making up the difference. There is no need to pack our combustion design into vehicle transportation. Rather we provide a scalable fixed location solution, which is portable all the same, with respect to scale, location or relocation. By this means we power the grid, discrete locations, recharge electric vehicles (EV) for now, as the EV innovation continues toward hydrogen fuel cells in the future.
The Carbon Analytic designs can produce electrical power and / or hydrogen while repairing the causes of climate impact.
Some might ask why wasn't this the natural evolution away from fossil fuels in the first place? Because of the same reason that got us into the problems to begin with... a rush to assumption that wind and solar could fulfill the need which drew huge government funded support serving to line the pockets of those lobbying to scalp the knee-jerk reaction which first drove the oil and coal industries.
Carbon Analytic believes the solution must be funded by public support in order to retain the correct solution to protect and return public support. The solution sustains against the loss of power company revenues while creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs in a solution that serves its public on a regional basis. The taxable revenues across the entire solution would is more than sufficient to enable reasonable regulation among a strong position of pubic advocacy.
The value of combustion dynamics is simply a matter of good design as the technology required is already present and available next to the need to repair the ecological and climate damage at the same time, same solution.
