That would be one hour 15 minutes at -/+ 10 kw output.

a 15 year old eucalyptus tree weighs probably 3000 lbs. All of the tree, leaves and all, are usable. As is cardboard, paper, etc. If I assume I've got 20000 lbs of strawberry guava and other unusable mostly deadfall on my property, a fair assumption I think, probably conservative. At 20 lbs a day, if I did that, which would be high figure for me, I'd be three to six years into the game before I ran low on simple trash. That assumes no guava regrows, but you'd probably regrow perhaps a ton a year on three acres. I think these are very conservative figures.....
20 lbs a day times 30 days in a month: 600 Lbs. per month.
12 months in a year times 600 lbs = 7200 lbs.
A ton = 1000 lbs... Where are you going to make up the 6200 lbs.?[8]
Depending on Agriculture for power is just not reliable. Think Ethanol.... Yeah the numbers sounded good at first... but we sure are taking a beating now.
I think what your doing is great on a small term project... but as far as Huge Corporations needing to clear cut to provide just doesn't jive for me.[8D]
