FERCO Enterprises Becomes SilvaGas Corporation to Focus on New Project Development Worldwide.ATLANTA -- FERCO FERCO Fédération Européenne de la Restauration Collective (French: European Federation of Contract Catering Organisations) Enterprises, which pioneered the SilvaGas biomass-to-energy process, announces the firm has legally become SilvaGas Corporation. Milton Farris, President of SilvaGas Corporation, said the new name reflects the firm's evolution from a technology provider alone to both a technology provider and project development company actively seeking partners with which to build and operate renewable energy Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation. plants producing the SilvaGas[R] natural gas substitute. The SilvaGas process converts energy crops or forest, agricultural, animal and municipal solid waste “Municipal waste” redirects here. For other uses, see Municipal waste (disambiguation). Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a waste type that includes predominantly household waste (domestic waste) with sometimes the addition of commercial wastes collected by a into a medium heating value The heating value or calorific value of a substance, usually a fuel or food, is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. The calorific value is a characteristic for each substance. natural gas substitute, known as SilvaGas[R]. SilvaGas[R] can be used as a fuel to produce electricity, converted chemically into ethanol, methanol methanol, methyl alcohol, or wood alcohol, CH3OH, a colorless, flammable liquid that is miscible with water in all proportions. Methanol is a monohydric alcohol. It melts at −97. , biodiesel, other bio fuels, or separated into individual molecules, including hydrogen. "The SilvaGas process is proven, clean, sustainable, cost-effective and reliable," declared Farris. "With all of the valuable derivatives that can be created from organic waste through the SilvaGas process, we believe the SilvaGas Corporation can become part of the solution to America's dependency on foreign energy sources." SilvaGas gets its name from the Latin term silva sil·va also syl·va n. pl. sil·vas or sil·vae 1. The trees or forests of a region. 2. A written work on the trees or forests of a region. , which means "forests" or "of trees". The medium Btu-content natural gas substitute was first demonstrated on a commercial scale using forest waste and trees at a biomass-to-energy plant in Vermont from 1998-2002.
