Greenbelt Resources' Feedstock testing for Barrelhouse finds
Trub suitable for PRECO
PASO ROBLES, CA -- October 31, 2017 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- Greenbelt Resources Corporation (OTC: GRCO) (Greenbelt) has
completed feedstock feasibility testing of trub (brewery waste) for
BarrelHouse Brewery. Greenbelt Chief Technology Officer Floyd
Butterfield says the ethanol derived from trub, as well as the high
protein animal feed, met the highest quality. The trub-based
bioethanol was tested using Greenbelt's interconnected
waste-to-energy process, known as "ECOsystem," which will be used
in their Paso Robles ECOsystem (PRECO) operation.
There are several criteria that must be met to determine the
feasibility of a feedstock: percentage of ethanol extracted from
the feedstock, its distillation profile and lack of contaminants.
Butterfield says, "In this case, trub meets all the criteria and
when utilized with Greenbelt's ECOsystem process, is economically
suitable as well."
Greenbelt's waste-to-energy technology can help provide positive
economic conditions. The plant can produce between 500,000 to 1
million gallons of ethanol annually. The system is feedstock
agnostic and suitable for unusual or "boutique" waste-based
seasonal feedstocks. The ECOsystem process can produce bioethanol
and co-products from different local feedstocks without
interruption. Ideally the resulting bioproducts are purchased by
local businesses and sold and consumed within the local
community.
"Greenbelt's process provides for a cost competitive and
environmentally friendly alternative to current trub disposal
methods, " explains Greenbelt CEO Darren Eng. "With many food
waste-based feedstocks, like trub, the producer, in this case the
brewery, must pay to have trub picked up and delivered to a
facility for proper disposal; a drain brewery profits."
"Knowing that trub is a suitable feedstock for Greenbelt's PRECO
project opens up a new opportunity for BarrelHouse in part because
environmental responsibility is also a core mission," says Jason
Carvalho, BarrelHouse Brewery CEO. "We are exploring more
sustainable and scalable disposal options. Our goal is to reduce
our environmental footprint when brewing our highly sought after
beer."
Both Eng and Butterfield see an innovative economic model
emerging that will assist small businesses with substance disposal,
improve profit margins and reduce negative environmental impact.
"In this model, feedstock disposal and acquisition are reduced and
profit is increased for both parties," says Butterfield. "Now
economics are right for feedstocks like trub to be viable and in
demand."
Greenbelt has been conducting feedstock evaluation for several
years and has successfully tested a wide variety of feedstocks
including winery waste, pomegranates, almond hulls, molasses, soda
wastes, contaminated ethanol and more.
