Corn Burning Free Standing Stoves
Why Burn Corn?
IT'S PRACTICAL - The use of shelled corn as a fuel source will reduce the United States' dependency on foreign sources of petroleum, while at the same time providing increased financial revenues for agricultural areas throughout this country. Plus, shelled corn is a fuel that can be produced within 180 days, compared to the millennia needed to produce fossil fuels.
THE ENVIRONMENT - Shelled corn is a clean-burning fuel, as documented by several government studies concluding that there is less environmental pollution associated with burning shelled corn than fossil fuels. Furthermore, corn is very effective in pulling carbon dioxide from the environment and replacing it with oxygen through photosynthesis during the growing season.
THERE'S ENOUGH - Utilizing corn as a fuel does not compete with the food supply needed for nourishment throughout the world. Studies have shown that contemporary agricultural systems can produce sufficient quality and quantity of food for the world's population, with additional resources available so that agricultural products can be used as fuel, pharmaceuticals, and chemical feedstocks.
