New approach in biomass production with a progressive
climate mitigation concept for a sustainable World
Author: Dr József Steier - President of BKIK – EPS.and Managing director of SUNWO Plc.
3rd European Energy Conference – Budapest, October 27th-30th, 2013
Most serious global issues of the XXI. century
• Climate change mitigation
• Renewable energy utilisation
• Nutrition & water management
• Unemployment decrease
Global warming manifestation:
Ecological disasters: the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea as well as the Lake Chad is to disappear
Hungary the same year had a draught and flood in 2013!
In the heart of Europe the picture is more contradictional
Global economic growth enhancesclimate change dangers
Poverty
Nutrition
Industrialisation
Sustainable world
Charcoal utilisation
Deforestation
Energy demands
Significant green energy utilisation
Does a conservative solution efficient enough in targeting EU directives?
• Decrease of CO2 emission by 2020
• Carbon quota limitations and pricing
• Carbon capture and storage
Versus European competitiveness!
A progressive solution can be driven by a particular „bio-engine”
• Scientifically developped plant
• Improved vital capacity• Would compile with EU
directives• Its multipurpose
character helps to target different issues
„Smaragd tree” a Paulownia-hybrid is the bio-engine of XXIth century?
• Originated from China• Crossbreeding resulted
in astonishing capacities
• With intercropping refers to the most pressing humanitarian demands
Minimal conditions of Smaragd tree plantation
Parameters Limits
1. pH value of soil 5,00 – 8,50
2. Salt content of soil Below 1 %
3. Water level below surface -2 m
4. Elevation Max 600 m
5. Average mid-temperature 13 – 25 C°
6. Maximum tempterature + 40 C° (+60 C° )
7. Minimum temperature - 25 C° (-31 C° )
8. Monthly precipitation 50 mm
Experimental value on the Great Hungarian Plain
Regional references – Szerencs plantation
European Green Island– with the utilization of wastelands
4,2 milion hectares reforestation with Smaragd tree could result in 630 million tons of CO2 quota, equivalent of about 4 billion USD
2,0 million hectares military playground1,2 million hectares Great Plain0,5 million hectares roadside0,5 million hectares protective line
4,2 million hectares wasteland
Intercroppingwith
lucerne, soy, beans, grains
Lets look at the World Playground(as unique chance of humanity?)
The SAHARA
• 9 400 000 km2 and 2 000 000 population• Inexhaustable renewable energy source and future
pioneer work for potentionally 350 million people• Is it perhaps a solution for jobeless, too?
Integration of Smaragd tree with Sahara programs
• Green Wall Project initated by former Nigerian president Obasanjo can be extended with Smaragd tree quadrats using its itnercropping capabilites
• Thus 1/3 of Sahara can produce biomass, food and absorb huge quantity of CO2
Lets promote the progressive climate mitigation concept and make the Sahara
green again!
