Global warming and climate change are issues which have an effect on us every one of, and which we are contributors and also activists. Climate change is mainly a man made consequence through our extreme and increasing use of fossil fuel fuel.
Fossil fuels in the form of gas, oil and coal are trapped forms of carbon power, stored deep beneath the earth?s surface. They are formed from biological matter, and through thousands and millions of years of heat and force create fossil fuels. When we extract fossil fuels and burn them, we are reintroducing this trapped carbon into the environment.
This added carbon dioxide then acts like a giant blanket in the environment. As the suns power enters the environment to heat the earth, the carbon then reflects this energy reverse at the earth, increasing temperatures. As we persist to use fossil fuels, this result will continue to increase. However we have an additional issue on the horizon in the conditions of food shortages, and mounting global population. Currently the answer to the global food issue is to boost large-scale farming. However large-scale farming relies of large quantities of oil to make the fuel for tractors etc, and also all fertilizers. As a result there is a catch 22 situation in terms of energy and food production. The counter to both issues is one and the same, small scale and local energy and food production where feasible.

Local biomass raw resources such as wood, straws and grasses from crop growing can be processed into energy by upgrading the materials locally into pellets. These pellets can then be used in pellet stove and boilers to provide heat, and also used in gasification system to create electricity.
Not only will this address part of the local energy construction process in terms of heat and electricity, it can also address transport fuels. Owing to pellet gasification, it is achievable to feed this gas to bacteria and algae to manufacture liquid fuels such as ethanol. So on a local scale it is potential to produce heat, electricity and transportation fuels. Costs to the consumer can be kept low as transport of energy is kept to an absolute minimum. Also through this sector a large number of permanent jobs would be created.

So this may speak to the issue of energy, how does it attend to the issue of food production? Put simple from using the pellets in stoves and boilers, and gasification units to make electricity or ethanol, has a by-product. The by-product is ash, and bio-char. These resources have been verified to be brilliant soil conditioners, even to be able to regain desert land, by bring life back to the soil. The simple point to take from these ideas is the answers are out there, and are proven to work, we need to do something. Not only will it tackle energy and food issues, it will bring greater prosperity to us all.
