TBE is a privately-held, limited liability company, incorporated in the State of New York in February 2005.

The most recent in a line of family-owned businesses that extends three generations, TBE has it roots in a tree-removal company started in 1956 by Mr. James Taylor Sr. In 1976, Mr. James Taylor Jr. purchased “Taylor Tree” from his father and grew the company into one of the nation’s leading recyclers of construction and demolition debris. Now known as Taylor Recycling Facility, LLC (TRF) and located approximately 70 miles north of New York City, the state-of-the-art plant is home to one of the most unique construction and demolition recycling operations in the world. At TRF, 97% of received waste is converted into valuable end-products, and kept out of landfills as waste.

Taylor has been widely recognized as a pioneer in developing innovative recycling solutions and for maintaining very high operating standards for safety and environmental integrity. In 1995, Taylor Recycling Facility, LLC became one of NY State’s first DEC- approved C&D recycling facility.

Over the last two decades, TRF has developed and refined its proprietary “Taylor Sorting and Separating Process” technology, taking recycling to its best and highest use. Developing new technology to convert biomass into energy for commercial use is the next step in a long tradition of environmental stewardship and innovation. Taylor Biomass Energy was established to accomplish this goal.

Mr. James Taylor Jr. is currently affiliated with the three separate companies: Taylor Biomass Energy, Taylor Recycling Facility and TBE-Montgomery,LLC. James W. Taylor Jr. is President and CEO of Taylor Biomass Energy. The Taylor family business has been located on Neelytown Road in the Town of Montgomery since 1989.

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. RECOVER.

With the global mandate to “go green”, companies and communities are embracing alternative energy solutions as the way of the present. Sustainable practices will help us navigate today’s environmental and financial challenges.

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Common words and, hopefully, common practice. At Taylor Biomass Energy, we’ve gone the next step. We’re focused on the last “R” – Recover (the one that doesn’t usually get a lot of attention). We spend a lot of time thinking about how to use the material that otherwise ends up in landfills. Our business is turning waste into energy. We’re serious about not wasting our waste.

A Two-Fold Challenge:

As our population grows, communities are producing more waste. Not only are traditional disposal methods – landfills and incineration – harmful to the environment and increasing in cost, eventually we will simply run out of places to put what we throw away.

There’s another side to the equation. As our population grows, communities have a greater need for energy. This demand makes us more dependent on fossil fuels, and drives up our energy costs.

Taylor Biomass Energy helps communities solve both challenges with one unique solution. We specialize in technology that transforms waste into energy. And, because no two communities are alike, the Taylor Technology can be tailored as an adaptable and wholly customized response to each unique need.

TBE

At Taylor Biomass Energy, transforming waste into energy through biomass gasification is as easy as learning your ABCs. For each community, and prospective facility, we work with our engineers to design a flexible system comprised of three integrated components. We’ll call the components the A, the B, and the C. In each system design, the A is a customized variation of our advanced Taylor Sorting and Separating Process, the B component is the patented Taylor Gasification Process, and the C component fluctuates and is engineered based on each facility’s highest and best use for the product gas.

Using the proprietary Taylor Sorting and Separating Process (the A component) in combination with its patented Taylor Gasification Process (the B component) and flexibility of product slate (C component), TBE stands out from the competing systems.

A — Wide Variety of Feedstocks

The proprietary Taylor Sorting and Separating Process is customized to accept a broad range of biomass feedstocks. While competing systems often accept one type of biomass, which may be difficult to produce or harvest, making them narrow in scope, TBE Technology can be adapted to include virtually any available carbon-based material with minimal preparation. Unique models can be designed to accept whatever biomass is readily available and most economical, including MSW, C&D, wood waste, sludge, agricultural residues, energy crops and forestry by-products.

B — Patented Gasification Process

The innovative, patented Taylor Gasification Process features a unique gas conditioning step and produces a Medium Caloric Value (MCV) syngas, which results in a cleaner synthesis gas and more efficient process than competing biomass gasification technologies (plasma, air-blown and oxygen-blown). The Taylor Gasification Process can provide an overall power generation efficiency of over 40%, which is nearly a 2 fold increase in power when compared to the conventional combustion (or direct combustion) technologies in today’s marketplace.
C — Diverse Product Slate

The Taylor Energy Solution broadens the range of energy products that can be successfully produced through gasification to include a wider range of fuels, chemicals, and power. The product gas not only provides a renewable means for producing direct energy products (e.g. electric power, steam, natural gas substitute, and gaseous and liquid fuels), but moves beyond mere heating in application. The Taylor Energy solution can also produce viable alternatives to all current petroleum-based energy products and by-products; fuel for engines, gas turbines, or as a synthesis gas for the production of chemicals (e.g. Fisher-Tropsch liquids and hydrogen).

The Taylor Technololgy has multiple commercial applications, and has a high investment appeal because of the project’s potential for replication and the flexibility of the system design that can be tailored to the unique needs of almost any situation. The Taylor Solution is a truly renewable, highly adaptable, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective “biomass to energy” model that can easily be replicated and tailored to suit the available biomass supply and energy needs of most any community or industry anywhere in the world.

With each tailored solution, Taylor Biomass Energy is helping to shift our dependence from fossil fuels, to alternative forms of sustainable energy.
