Mana Mushrooms

Without naming organizations, the biggest challenge I had with approaching this grant and other symbioses in Pennsylvania was that the recaptured energy, in the form of electricity, would need to be purchased; "If we help you recapture something you're currently wasting, why should we BUY it from you?" I understand there are economic incentives for most actions, but this one was a tough mental barrier for me. Provided I bring funds for equipment to the table, I would much prefer to share the consequently recaptured energy than spend out of pocket for energy I helped recapture.

Special thanks to Joshua for helping take us down this road. It was a great learning experience for all involved.

This tool is of particular interest in the context of developing industrial symbioses in Pennsylvania. Elsewhere on the site, you may find mention of our involvement with a grant proposal to harvest waste heat from a manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania.
