"The carbon in E-Coal is a different type of carbon. It is a "pure organic form of carbon" that is different from the grey CO2 from "fossilized carbon" that is causing the current environmental imbalance on our planet."
CO² is CO² no matter where it comes from.

| 4. Sort of, but not completely -- the cabon in the biomass came from the air, not from a mine |
|
So it can claim to be "carbon neutral" since it is just recycling atmospheric carbon.

| 2. No, but it would be good to remove some of the biomass from CA hillsides and make this stuff |
|
No use letting the biofuels accumulate on the hillside where they become dangerously inflammable.
Their process appears to be similar to making charcoal. Take biomass, heat it in the presence of limited oxygen, and convert it to a mostly carbon pellet.

If they were legit, they would have been run out of business by now and their CEO disappeared.
