Comment | Is the goal of CARB to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and to Reduce Air Pollution, and to continually improve California's/ America's Air Quality? We are in a battle with Climate Change. What are the main items of Climate Change? 1) Global Warming 2) CO2 Emissions 3) Water Conservation If we can control these 3 items, things will change to our and our future generations benefit. Page 8 ~ top subject comes close to being what I believe to be almost the most important item of all pages. The other items are also very important, but what will/can make the biggest impact for the state/country. We live in a very mild/warming climate, where natural gas for building space heating is possibly reducing in need. California still uses a lot of natural gas for industrial applications. We are America's Bread Basket, and all this food needs to be processed. How much natural gas is consumed in California by commercial buildings and by industry and by the power plants? How much of that combusted energy is blown up chimneys as HOT exhaust into the atmosphere? Why is this still being allowed? Might this be affecting our Global Warming issue? The US DOE states that for every 1 million Btu's of heat energy recovered from these waste exhaust gases, and this recovered heat energy is utilized in the building or facility where it was combusted, 117 lbs of CO2 will Not be put into the atmosphere. Can this make a difference? In combusted natural gas there is Water, and in this Condensing Flue Gas Heat Recovery process this distilled water is being produced, and all this water is very usable. This mineral free water will have a pH of between 4 and 4.5. If the pH is reduced it can be used as pharmaceutical grade water. If the pH is increased it can be used as potable water. If it is injected into the buildings sanitary sewer lines, it will help to reduce bacteria growth. Can this again, (1 more item) make a difference towards California's/ America's battle against Climate Change? This is the last item, but it should be first. Increased natural gas energy efficiency = Reduced utility bills = Profit. We realize that natural gas prices are low today, but our oldest unit turned 30 years old last year, and I plan to be there when it turns 50. It has no moving parts to wear out. It requires little or no electricity to operate. It requires little or no maintenance. It is self cleaning on the flue gas side. Sidel Systems USA Inc. is just now adding to it's "tool belt" the technology of Carbon Capture Utilization. This is a very exciting new offering we will be putting into operation early next year. With this Sidel CCU technology the CO2 in combusted natural gas will be Captured and transformed into other usable profit streams for those employing this technology. I am proud to live in and be a California based company. Lets together Make A Difference The World Is Waiting For! |
