Construction Waste to Biomass to Energy &
Back Again
Jim Taylor is living his version of an old saw: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. New York-based Taylor Biomass Energy LLC recycles construction and demolition debris, waste wood and municipal garbage to feed a revolutionary biomass gasification system. His system uses hot circulating sand to heat the feedstock and convert it into a synthesized fuel gas, which powers a high-efficiency turbine or generator. By Sarah Smith
