TYPES OF BIOMASS
Organic matter available on a
renewable basis. Biomass includes
forest and mill residues,
agricultural crops and wastes,
wood and wood wastes, animal
wastes, livestock operation
residues, aquatic plants, fastgrowing trees and plants, and
municipal and industrial wastes.
WHAT IS ACETYLENE?
C2H2

Other Name: Ethyne, Ethine
 Simplest Hydrocarbon with a Triple Bond
 Discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy (England)
 Former Times: Used to Light Stages (In the Lime Light);
Light Towns; Miners Lamps; Automotive Head Lights
 Present Days Usage of USA Production – 20% Welding
and Cutting; 80% Plastics & Organic Chemical Synthesis
WHAT IS ACETYLENE?
C2H2
1)
2)
3)
Manufactured From :
The Reaction of Water and Calcium Carbide
The Thermal Cracking of Methane Gas
The Thermal Oxidation of Hydrocarbons or
Sources containing Hydrogen and Carbon
WHAT IS ACETYLENE?
C2H2
Manufacturing
Chemistry
IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?


YES:
If You Make It From Renewable Materials
Calcium Carbide – BioMass & Limestone
Methane, Ethane or HydroCarbons – Wood
or Any BioMass Feed Stock
IS ACETYLENE RENEWABLE?
YES:
Most Common Method From Making Calcium Carbide is
the Heating of Coal and Limestone to 3500-3800 F.
We Can Chemically Replace the Coal with Charcoal
(Carbon For Carbon) and Make Calcium Carbide. The
Calcium is Recycled in the Process.
IS ACETYLENE A GOOD PERFORMANCE
& EFFICIENT FUEL?
YES, High Energy
Release with the
Breaking of the
Triple Bonds
Carbons.

IS ACETYLENE AN ENVIRONMENTAL
CLEAN BURNING FUEL?
YES, High Energy
Release with
Conditioned
Cooling Liquid
Engine Testing
Results
Go-Tec, Inc / AFuels, LLC

Fuel and Engine Injection Technologies
Inventors – 4 US Patents / 1 International
Filing
 Alternative Fuel Development For IC
Engines From Biomass including
Agricultural Crop and Animal Waste
IS ACETYLENE AN ABUNDANT?
The Feed Stocks Is Abundant Because Plant
Life, Rocks, and Water are Abundant on
Earth
IS ACETYLENE AN AFFORTABLE FUEL?
1.
2.
YES
When Purchased In Cylinders, it is equal to $ 1.87
Gasoline – See Go-Tec’s Saturn 2000 Car Road
Test Data
When Produced from BioMass – Equal to 3.5
Cents per KWH Electricity – See SRADCO &
ArrowHead Center Feasibility Studies
IS ACETYLENE SAFE TO USE AND
STORE?



Acetylene Gas Has Been In Usage Since 1892
Acetylene Gas Is Stored In Cylinders in
Acetone
Acetylene Gas Can Be Produced From Water
& Calcium Carbide on Demand (Fuel Cell)
YES
WILL ACETYLENE CHANGE THE
COMSUMERS LIFE STYLE?
NO
When Calcium Carbide Rods with Water Mist
System is Finalized as a On-Demand
Fuel Cell
BIOMASS GASIFICATION
Biomass Gasification is an Effective Process of
Transforming Organic Materials into Fuel Energy. The
Process is Controlled by Burn Temperature Monitoring.
