"If Animal control will use just the Gasifier and not the incinerator this energy project could show 60%-70% savings annually. The annual gas bill at the Animal Control Crematorium has been running $75,000+ and this unit may lower that annual cost to somewhere between $25,000 and $35,000.

P.S. On a green note we also are saving tons of Co2 green house gas emissions. Should be around 200+ tons of Co2 saved annually.

The Sierra Club needs to push this technology all over the USA for all farms, morgues or funeral homes that cremate remains, towns and cities because it is not often you find a technology that can save over 50% of the energy consumption and over 50% reduction in emissions usually you are struggling to find 10 to 20% if your systems are already current technology.

The City of Charlotte, which disposes of animals from Charlotte and the surrounding townships, typically spends between $75 and $80,000 a year in natural gas fees in order to dispose of over 137 tons of animals. In an effort to reduce cost, the City got in touch with North Carolina State University's (NCU) Animal Division, which recommended the Lewiston, NC based company Biomass Marketing Associates (BMA). BMA manufactures a gasification system that utilizes the animal fat of the carcasses to serve as fuel in a process called "cracking". These units, which are much cleaner than traditional incinerators, have previously been employed by poultry and hog farms as a means of eliminating potentially hazardous animal waste. Furthermore, the gasification process eliminates the issues associated with dumping partially treated waste in landfills and burying waste in the ground, as the ash leftover from the gasification process is free of any organic compound or microbe. Charlotte is using the gasification system, which has been used over seas in smaller applications, for the first time in a large commercial operation with a city government. Conservative estimates have suggested that the new system will reduce natural gas costs by 74%, or about 50,000 therms per year. This translates into savings of about $55,000 per year. With this rate of savings, the system will pay for itself in less than a year.
