Greetings Friends, Farmers, and Politicians,
Would you like to turn your manure problem into an income stream?
Carbonic LLC is developing a technology to do just that. The process is simple to imagine. Input pig manure on the left. Running the apparatus, output HDPE plastic from the right. At Carbonic LLC of Woodbury, Minnesota, we call it our “#ManureGasPlastic™” (#MGP™) apparatus and process. “We Do Carbon Right” is our tagline “Pig Manure To Plastic” is our call to action.
What Problems Are We Solving?
MANURE: Manure stinks and is a pollutant. Manure lagoons are risky. Manure on fields is risky. During low oxygen pyrolysis as the temperature rises the manure’s carbon is converted to polyethylene used to make everything from HDPE plastic bags to HDPE plastic housing.
METHANE: Pigs produce methane, but not as much as cattle. The beef and dairy industries need Carbonic LLC manure and methane handling technology too. Methane is a bad pollutant. Methane is known as a greenhouse gas when it is released into the atmosphere.
CARBON SINK: We must capture human industry caused carbon before it enters the atmosphere. Instead, we must store carbon in a sink from which that carbon can be reclaimed. This principle of true carbon sequestration makes HDPE plastic the hands down winner, in comparison with other sequestration solutions. Melt and reshape it. Gasify it. Burn it.
PLASTIC TRASH: Plastic trash can be gasified into HDPE.
How Do We Solve the Manure Problem?
PROOF OF CONCEPT: Prove the chemistry on a laboratory bench
REDUCE TO PRACTICE: Build a trailerable small scale demo prototype
SCALE TO SIZE: Build the #ManureGasPlastic™ at a size for a pig farm. For example, a 1,200 pig herd produces 6 tons of 90% moisture content manure per day. The #MGP must fit inside of a haulable international shipping container as a primary size constraint.
RAISE CAPITAL: $1.2 million to complete startup phase. Invest now to help.
What Other Problems Do We Solve?
We can build Plastic World™ filled with HDPE shelter and housing for the refugees and the homeless. We will build our technology in the U.S. economy. We create a distributed solution that replaces behemoth centralized facilities with a farm based chemical industry, plastic, electricity, and fuel production capacity. Grid independent electricity is another farm benefit.

Comparison |
|
Is CO2 Captured? |
YES by point source CO2 capture at CO2 producer location. E.g. power plant, or pull it from the atmosphere. |
YES gasification captures carbon into plastic before it can be released into the atmosphere |
BOTH are useful for a few decades while more non-fossil energy is produced. |
|
When? |
AFTER CO2 formation |
BEFORE CO2 formation |
BEFORE is best |
|
Is CO2 Transported? |
CO2 is transported in pipelines to geologic storage locations |
CO2 is gasified and is not “transported” |
Carbonic LLC is best |
|
Is Carbon Recoverable? |
What would be the sense of releasing CO2, at least in a BUDGET CONSCIOUS NATION? |
YES |
Carbonic LLC is best |
Frequent Questions
#ManureGasPlastic™ (#MGP™) Technology. Does It Work?
As of January, 2022 the #MGP chemistry of manure to HDPE plastic has been theoretically verified by two Ph.D. chemists. Our immediate goal is to get the technology proven on a laboratory bench. Then a trailerable small-scale prototype. Then a container sized model for local delivery to the point source location of the manure production.
If “Plastic World™” Were Here Today, what HDPE Housing Initiatives Would Be Done?
#1 Provide livable & secure HDPE plastic housing for street people, homeless, and refugees.
#2 Provide livable and secure housing for sale to home buyers from farms’ HDPE supply.
#3 Help Haiti create a supply chain for earthquake resistant housing & HDPE piping.
Simple Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) of an HDPE Plastic World™
SCIENCE: Carbon atoms sunk in long-lived plastic are more valuable than carbon atoms sunk by other methods. This is because 1) the carbon atoms are in a re-shapeable and recoverable material form, 2) the carbon atoms are available for producing heat energy, 3) the carbon atom atoms can be recovered and used as feedstock for a distributed chemical industry that produces products for a distributed farm economy, and 4) the HDPE plastic is a great building material. In the big picture value equation, HDPE plastic is better than alternatives.
TECHNOLOGY: As a nation we must transition from behemoth technology solutions down to the level of agriculture technology applied at the local biomass producing farm. The #ManureGasPlastic™ (#MGP™) will capture the carbon and “sink” that carbon into what becomes a future carbon “source”. The #MGP apparatus and process sequesters the carbon, by definition. As soon carbon is stored in plastic, it is sequestered the moment plastic is produced..
There are ways to reclaim the carbon sunk in HDPE plastic. We can melt and reshape and resurface plastic. We can run the plastic through the #MGP and turn it into more HDPE. Maybe a pig farmer wants propane instead. To use on their farm or to sell. Another pig farmer might want to produce heat for barn operations and electricity. Same thing goes for manure from beef, dairy cattle, chickens, turkeys, and basically any livestock. Bone char from the slaughterhouse sells for $10 per pound on the internet. The very way that the farm and the slaughterhouse operate is bound into change in a #MGP World.
ENGINEERING: There are Carbonic LLC Technology challenges ahead. #1) at a theoretical level define the chemical steps necessary to get through the glassware, bunsen burners, reactors, and catalysts. More R&D needs to be done, 2) have a Ph.D. Chemist assemble the equipment necessary to prove the innovation that pig manure can be used to produce HDPE, 3) have a Ph.D. Chemical Engineer design the #MGP at scale capacity of 6 Ton per day or greater.
BIOENGINEERING: My mentor Oliver used to teach that if you care about CO2 in the atmosphere feed near boiling temperature thriving methanogen bacteria. Bacteria eat CO2 and excrete methane. Feed the methane into an #MGP. Receive HDPE plastic.
MATH: Math forms the foundation of Science, Technology, and Engineering (STEM), which forms the foundation of mind and creativity. STEM is the educational foundation that creates a nation of innovators and inventors. STEM provides the tools that give one an edge with astable and well paying jobs. We need a carbon gasification STEM solution.
