More specifically, from the website:"While today’s APL Power Pallets produce a
relatively small amount of biochar byproduct (around 5% of input mass), it is
still enough for modest carbon negativity in the fuel cycle. The round rule of
thumb numbers are as follows:1 tonne of dry biomass in produces about 1Mw/hr of
electricity and 50kg of carbon byproduct.
50kg of raw carbon once recombined with O2 is the equivalent of 185kg of CO2 in
the atmosphere. (mass C x 3.67 = mass CO2)
1 tonne of biomass input to the gasifier can soil-sequester the equivalent of
0.185 CO2 tonnes in the atmosphere.
Avoided CO2 emissions from not burning fossil fuel in the process are added to
the wins above."
Question: How much of the nutrients in the biomass are returned to the soil and
how much are sequestered/volatilized/lost, i.e is this sustainable?
