AREA FUEL ANALYSIS: This investigation of the existing primary alternative fuels including types of biomass that are present within a given geographic area, their potential for affordable constructive use as a primary fuel such as for electricity generation, their quantity, and seasons of fuel availability.

Target fuels are those that require little or no processing prior to use, and those fuels which also can be utilized through lower cost technologies as opposed to the expensive equipment like solar panels or the expensive facilities like hydroelectric dams.

Smaller scale, lower cost, and lower technology solutions are especially appropriate for immediate energy capacity expansion while larger scale and appropriate infrastructures are constructed in place which often require substantial lengths of time to complete.

ENERGY SUPPLY AUDIT: This audit takes a close look at one or more existing technologies being used to supply energy requirements for a given geographic area or specific use. An investigation is made into the possibilities of substitute fuel usage, alternative technologies, and changes in operations that can increase efficiency and/or reduce energy costs.

One example is an evaluation of using normally used fuels closer to their sources through smaller scale plants such as electric plants sited closer to the coal mines they currently rely on for their fuel supply. A second example would be to reduce steam boiler size by increasing the drive motor efficiency and/or by increasing the boiler's burner efficiency.

A third example would be to examine the present fuel supply routes to all existing facilities, and to reduce the total length of route used and/or facilities served. Another example would be the selection of site locations for new infrastructure based on several factors collectively (such as considering fuel supply location, technologies used, and markets served at the same time while exploring alternatives).

PORTABLE POWER PLANTS: Units are being developed that utilize locally available waste and renewable affordable fuels to generate electricity at the 70 kilowatt and the 700 kilowatt levels of power production. Fuels such as waste motor oil, waste fish oil, nut shells, sugar cane waste, biomass, wood pellets, shelled corn, ethanol, peat, dead standing timber, coal and similar resources can be utilized.
