Energy Performance Systems (EPS) has entered into the trading phase of its carbon-neutral Whole Tree Energy system. The complete-patented, groundbreaking renewable energy technology utilizes biomass feedstock to reduce the expenditure of producing electricity and unsafe emissions.
The Whole Tree Energy system comprises sowing trees, harvesting trees, retrofitting available power facilities and using whole trees to generate the ultra effective clean energy.
The Whole Tree Energy system is a completely carbon-neutral system. The Environmental Scientist, Lynn Wright said that CO2 generated during the conversion of tree into thermal energy is compensated by the CO2 kept apart by the planted trees in the growing stage. The farm-developed wood contains least amount of chlorine, sulfur and mercury and thus releases insignificant amount of harmful emissions, she added.
EPS has designed new forestry and agricultural technologies to completely endorse the system and enhance its effectiveness. A tree harvester that constantly slices and loads row trees and a Global Positioning System (GPS)-guided, high-impact tree planter that plants six slips every second into the land are the technologies utilized in the system.
