Toward Success in Biomass Conversion to Affordable Clean Energy
Toward Success in Biomass Conversion to Affordable Clean Energy highlights the history of KiOR, a startup bioenergy company that sought to become a commercial success ... but failed. Starting in 2007, until declaring bankruptcy in 2014, KiOR spent close to $1 billion to prove that single-reactor thermocatalytic conversion of organic materials such as wood chips, grasses, and even waste plastics to transportation fuels using conventional oil-refinery catalyst processing is not scalable to commercial-size plants, and in fact is not economically feasible using current technology. This case study provides historical perspective and insights on government oversight of transportation fuels, development of refinery catalyst technology, and criteria for developing sustainable commercial-scale biomass-to-fuels technologies. Along the way, the authors, who are experts in catalyst and refinery processes as well as environmental sustainability and natural resource management, propose feasible solutions to help alleviate catalyst and other technology limitations in biomass conversion. Their intent is to help science and engineering researchers, business leaders, investors, government officials, and the general public negotiate the challenges of using biomass crops, waste wood and other plant materials, and waste plastics to create a sustainable supply of clean and affordable energy, transportation and heating fuels, and specialty chemicals on a global scale while helping protect the environment.
The Harrisburg 7 and the New Catholic Left
Sometimes real life can be more shocking then fantasy! This book is about the real life evidence that reveals a shocking truth. This may be the most shocking book you will ever read, not because it is someone's made up fantasy, but because it is about reality and based on real evidence!I have been annoyed my entire life listening to all the nuts, insane religious freaks, and crooked scammers who have said to me the world is ending so I must listen to their crazy, made up beliefs in order to survive!On the religious side, there are many dishonest men in "fancy pretend to be holy" clothes who direct their brainwashed followers to work as slaves selling their false religious beliefs everywhere. Many religious leaders sell divine goods they do not have - they are not gods, they do not know more then most, they are just men who display no evidence of divine abilities, and they have no divine connections. In the end, they ultimately will seeking their own selfish interest at the expense of their followers!Then there is the dishonesty on the other side, with some scientists. There are those persons who reject anything that is considered divine or unknown, like a few smug arrogant scientists. These scientists also deceive the public by pretending to support objective facts, reasoning, and beliefs; but they do not follow the evidence. They are not true scientists. Instead they start with their own strong bias opinions on the unknown, and then they look only for those facts that support what they initially believed.In this book there is no hidden motive or agenda to trick you into a life of servitude into one of the many false, man made, religious organizations. There is no scientific evidence manipulation to get you to believe the bias point of view of an arrogant egotistical scientist. This book is simply about the evidence that supports a date and a time that the world, as we know it, will end. The end I speak about is not a doom and gloom end, but it is about the dramatic end to the way mankind will live in the near future!The focus here will be on the evidence that reveals THE most important date and THE greatest news event of all time!We will look at the evidence in the religious world based on the Bible, which has repeatedly specified this very important date. And then we will take on a completely different view, the second view will be a focus based on evidence in the scientific world.The amazing thing that we will find is that the date we come up with in the scientific view directly coincides with the date of the end of the world from the religious view, but for completely different reasons!We will first begin by looking at the religious view and the evidence found in the Bible of when the world as we know it will end. Then we will move on to see the independent unrelated scientific evidence of when our world will end. And we will see that recently acquired scientific evidence directly specifies the date the world will end, and the date happens to be the same date that was derived from the religious view, but for completely different reasons. In the end you will see why I feel there is no escaping this date!But I must warn the reader that if you are someone who is easily shocked or who simply does not want to know this type of information then - STOP NOW, do not read below the following line! Just put this book down, walk away, and never pick it up again!But for those who are not afraid of evidence, knowledge, and knowing shocking truths - read on to learn the possible answer to one of the greatest mysteries of modern man!

Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought Resilience
A growing body of research and scientific as well as local evidence has shown that climate change impacts is on the rise with its attendant risks/hazards for the land system, even as it relates to DLDD, these being exacerbated by anthropogenic factors; thus, pushing the earth system to a tipping point therefore requiring that society braze up its coping capacities to avert the impending danger. This book highlights the urgent need to move from desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) risk management to resilience. The aim is to provide new insight on the issues of DLDD and stir policy guide on vulnerability reduction and building adaptive capacities so as to achieve sustainable development and identify pathways to a land degradation neutral world. It is worthy to note that globally, about one fifth of earth's land area - more than 2 billion hectares - is degraded; and this jeopardizes the livelihoods of more than 3.5 billion people, i.e., about 40% of the world population. The global population is still growing and is projected to reach 8.3 billion people by 2030. Such growth will put unprecedented pressure on the productivity of the land system from day to day.
