Eco-Friendly
Energy Projects
MNL
Consulting and its partnered technology and eco-energy
groups have been working on alternative eco-friendly energy
sources from wind to energy, biomass energy to non polluting
liquid coal power plants. When researching for answers to
providing alternative sources of electricity to support a
community, we turned to new advanced technologies and environmentally
safe means of providing electricity.
During our search for better, economic, clean and efficient
means of providing electricity to communities we realized
that as long as the world is facing difficulties in certain
regions and communities threaten survival through war and
economic collapse, we had to include the need for providing
temporary or subsidized solutions to communities as well as
long term alternative projects.
Wind
Turbine Energy
Natural
energy from wind is a clean and efficient source of power
produced when specially designed turbines capture the wind
and generate electricity. Wind to energy is an environmentally
safe alternative that is domestic, nonpolluting, safe, and
abundant. Basically stating what wind to power is, modern
windmills or wind generators that use large blades or other
means to catch the wind turn a shaft and generate electrical
power.
Wind
is a natural resource, inexhaustible and renewable
source of energy with no fuel and no pollution. The
environmental advantages to wind power are improved
economics and reliability to over 90%. Economically
averaging in cost of about 4 to 7 cents per day per
kilowatt-hour (kWh). The modern wind turbine consists
of 3 blades, which are made of fiberglass. One blade
spading in length about 115-feet (1/3 the length of
a football field), installed on a 210 to 250-foot
tower. The new wind turbines today can produce about
1.5-megawatt of energy, which has an annual output
equivalent to the electricity use of about 500 typical
homes. The standard most common wind mill style plants
use less than 5 to 12% of the land on which they are
constructed, leaving the remaining land for ranching,
farming, etc.
The average wind turbines today are designed to work
for about 120,000 hours of operation with a lifetime
of about 20 years. The basic turbine design which
generates 25-150 kW of power have an annual maintenance
costs averaging around 1.5-2% of the original turbine
investment. Most maintenance cost is generally a fixed
amount annually, which include the regular service
of the turbines. |

Biomas Energy
Plants
Biomass
Energy or Bioenergy, which means energy from organic
matter. Down through time, man has used biomass energy,
by burning wood for heat and cooking. Today with the
dwindling resources in wood, we have turned our attention
to other types of resources such as plants, forestry
waste management, organic component of municipal wastes,
burnable gases from landfills, residues and byproducts
from agriculture. |

The potential for biomass energy is significant, which generates
nearly the same amount of carbon dioxide as fossil fuels without
the rest of the toxins that burning fossil fuels produce.
The gases released when producing energy through biomass energy
generation plant is the same carbon dioxide that plants use
to make oxygen that we need to breath.
Today, there are farms that are adding biomass feedstock to
the list of profitable agriculture to farm. In areas of the
world where biomass energy plants are in production, farmers
are growing fast growing, willow, soybean and other feedstock
to sell to the biomass energy plant to fuel their need for
energy production.
Biomass fuel is efficient and clean source of energy. Small
commercial operating plants are going into production all
over the world. Some plants are the main staple of power for
communities and others subsidize electrical power to the grid
and are generally located near existing power facilities.
Advanced Bio Energy Projects
MNL Consulting and the PTC have dedicate
resources to developing commercial sized projects that that
will utilize the Megafolia Tree and Tri-Folia Tree Projects
with a fuel production plant to produce Methanol and/or Ethanol
on a commercial level. By creating methanol or ethanol will
provide a renewable resource for developing and third world
countries. By producing methanol or ethanol for commercial
sale or to be used to fuel a eco-friendly power plant to supply
electricity to local communities may be a viable project which
our partnered organization have expressed interest to invest
in. Building economically sound projects, as humanitarian
endeavors to create badly needed jobs and fund local humanitarian
projects is our primary goal.
By combining waste recycling and agriculture (Megafolia fast
growth tree project) to generate energy by using bio-fuels
(methanol or ethanol) and a Pyrolytic Thermal System (fueled
by recycled solid waste) is a concept that currently being
researched with significant investment to develop. Outlined
below is one of the experimental project endeavors that combines
recycling waste and agricultural projects in a manner that
creates a self-sustainable energy project that we believe
will benefit any community.
