Yes, Toronto Urban forest is a great resources for landscapers and urban tree planters, not to mention clean the air and lend the beauty to urgan landscape. Fine mulching provide greater use of the resourceful waste.

Thank you, Yemi, for your comment

If I get selected, I will use the money ($1000?) to write up business plan and market research. I can present a strong case. I need numbers: how many tons of organic fertilizer for farmers, how many tons of biomass pellets and briquettes for fuel, how many tons of biochar for soil fertility, what would be retail value of all of these new products, what it would save carbon emission . . . and so on. Numbers will be very encouraging, I can imagine. It will be a fine project that investors may be interested in. Besides, the venture will create good employment and good environment.

Having many entrepreneurs exploring eco-friendly energy generation initiatives, whether on a small or large scale, are good signs of what is achievable in the nearest future. This proposal (Urban Biomass Utilization) in particular, I believe, has great potential. The initiator may want to take a stronger business strategy approach to prop up this venture. I will be interested to have information on your market research findings for this venture.

It is a great idea! But hardly anybody knows about the idea. Is this just an idea? Why do you think it can be done?

Thank you, Deepak. Your question may be what all it comes down to. Careful planning may required, but best way is to try testing the idea in real life situation.

Kelven Goodridge and Biochar

I met Kelven on the street car to SCI the other day. He offered me his seat and we striked a brief conversation. He said I should look into Biochar. He emailed me with a link. It is so good I decided to use it.

Thank you, Kelven.

Potential Diversion from Current Uses

Some of the tree waste could potentially be used for this project, whose basic premises are valid and useful. However, the City of Toronto already provides mulch as in-kind donations to non-profit groups doing tree planting in and around the city. These groups rely on mulch donations to offset their operating costs since budgets are often ridiculously tight. Hence, some of the waste has already been turned to resource.
