Not meaning to continue an off-topic thread. I just wanted to clarify that I agree. I only suggested it as an option for the sugar because all of the problems...
... I never said this.. The Individual was just looking for a viable replacement to an industry that is in decline.. It is a commodity that for the last 2 yrs...
Ok. I got the impression that sugar was going to be scrapped from this (though I see how it might have sounded stronger than it was meant): "During the...
One more idea just came in from the other boo group (Bamboo_World). A guy is researching use of bamboo for charcoal production. (That group... now that's where...
I haven't really been following this discussion closely, so apologies if some of this turf has already been covered. Charcoal would make sense, particularly if...
The production of ethanol from corn never did make sense to me. Now if we would start producing it from cellulose or algae, that would make more sense. Daniel...
I have several stands of clumping Bamboo that I have started from seed. planted for about 9 months, they are doing very well. Just wanted to know what the...
I'm sorry, but these comments about ethanol and biodiesel are tremendously shortsighted. Used as fuel, they are simply energy transfer instruments - stuff...
I agree with your points, but you're drawing the circle too narrowly, don't forget about the harvest of the fish that went into the fish meal, these ecosystems...

Thanks to all who have given me feedback. You have helped me get outside of my tiny little box.. As I gather more information I will use my inadequate skills...
How right you are, Jeff. But, I have been told that charcoal made from bamboo is a better quality one than made from wood. I wish somebody would tell me if...
Yeah. It seems strange, but production of charcoal from native rain forest trees is actually a huge problem. I don't know about Mexico, but it's actually one...
How are you measuring growth? Aslandra ... From: owanafarm To: BAMBOO@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 02, 2009 6:26 PM Subject: [BAMBOO] Re: Commercial...
Dear Terry, The quality of the charcoal likely has more to do with the way it is made (i.e. the skill used in the cooking process) rather than the raw...
In what context are they making the charcoal for? Biochar? Activated charcoal for filters, medicine, etc, etc. If made for Biochar trees would most likely be...
Terry:: I cannot quote you chapter and verse, of actual evidence, but I am aware that YES, bamboo charcoal is of a much higher quality, (much finer,...
