Joe Birch - Tire To Fuel Project. Birch and his sons investigated numerous strategies for recycling waste products and biomass into profitable fuel products. In one avenue of research, they converted wood fiber into activated carbon which is ideal for purifying air and water. Birch consulted with former MIT Professor Thomas Reed, a leading expert in alternative fuel research, now retired and living in Western Massachusetts. Under the tutelage of Dr. Reed, Birch developed viable waste-to-energy technologies and immersed himself in the literature of "green" chemistry, mechanical engineering, and the history of various technologies for biomass and waste conversion. Targeting used tires as the most viable and profitable waste product, Birch and his sons built four separate experimental conversion plants and a small-scale refinery. The fuel oil they produced was tested at Clean Burn Energy Systems laboratory in Northfield, Massachusetts with better-than-expected results. Birch's fuel oil burned cleanly with no visible stack emissions and slightly higher BTUs than #2 heating fuel. Clean Burn was impressed enough to agree to undertake, at their expense, additional testing for EPA certification, which is upcoming at the firm's Pennsylvania headquarters.
