Clean Energy
What We Do....
Starbrook actively engages in three critical areas of clean energy: solar panels, wood pellets, and various forms of bioenergy. We specialize in providing high-quality solar panels for both industrial and residential applications, offering an exceptional cost-value ratio. With our deep roots in the forestry industry, we connect wood pellet manufacturers with local sawmills and help them efficiently market and move wood pellets to global markets. Additionally, with our ambitious, forward-thinking vision for a brighter and cleaner future, we actively collaborate with industry leaders, experts, and scientists to promote clean energy adoption and explore bioenergy projects using biomass feedstock, including syngas, biogas, biochar, biofuel, and electricity, benefiting local communities and generations to come.
Solar Panels
Our high-quality solar panels cater to both industrial and residential applications. With a focus on cost-value optimization, we offer end-to-end services with our local partners, including preliminary assessments, design and planning, permitting and regulatory compliance, supply chain logistics, installations, after-sales services, and ongoing maintenance.
Wood Pallets
Leveraging forestry residues like sawdust and wood chips, we connect wood pellet manufacturers with local sawmills and help them reach global markets efficiently with our marketing expertise and comprehensive global supply chain management services.
Bioenergy Projects
Bioenergy ProjectsUtilizing biomass feedstock, we explore various clean energy forms—syngas, biogas, biochar, biofuel, and electricity. Drawing on our extensive industry experience, we categorize fiber residues and match them with optimal applications, benefiting local communities with their most compatible, abundant resources.
About Biomass
Biomass refers to the organic material that is used for production of energy. This energy production process is referred to as Bioenergy. Biomass is primarily found in the form of living or recently living plants and biological wastes from industrial and home use. Due to the breadth of the term, the physical composition of biomass is inconsistent, but generally includes carbon, water and organic volatiles.
For the production of energy from biomass, the term feedstock is used to refer to whatever type of organic material will be used to produce a form of energy. The feedstock must then be converted to a usable energy form through one of many processes.
Some common biomass conversion processes include:
Combustion:
the process by which flammable materials are burned in the presence of air or oxygen to release heat. It is the simplest method by which biomass can be used for energy. In its rudimentary form, combustion is used for space heating (i.e. a fire for warmth) but can also be used to heat steam for electricity generation.
Combustion:
is the conversion of biomass into a combustible gas mixture referred to as Producer Gas (CO+H2+CH4) or Syngas. The gasification process uses heat, pressure and partial combustion to create syngas, which can then be used in place of natural gas.
Pyrolysis:
Consists of thermal decomposition in the absence of oxygen. It is the precursor to gasification, and takes place as part of both gasification and combustion. The products of pyrolysis include gas, liquid and a sold char, with the proportions of each depending upon the parameters of the process.
Biodigestion:
is the process whereby bacteria break down organic material in the absence of air, yielding a biogas containing methane and a solid residue. The methane can then be captured to produce energy. Similarily, the solid residue can also be burned to produce energy.
Fermentation:
involves the conversion of a plant’s glucose (or carbohydrate) into an alcohol or acid. Yeast or bacteria are added to the biomass material, which feed on the sugars to produce ethanol (an alcohol) and carbon dioxide. The ethanol is distilled and dehydrated to obtain a higher concentration of alcohol to achieve the required purity for the use as automotive fuel. The solid residue from the fermentation process can be used as cattle-feed and in the case of sugar cane can be used as a fuel for boilers or for subsequent gasification.
About Solar Energy
Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun's radiation. It is a renewable and sustainable source of power that can be harnessed in various ways to produce electricity or heat. Here’s a detailed overview:
