BioSphere was invented, developed and is owned by Dr. C A McCormack.[1] BioSphere was marketed for 17 years under license by Global Environmental Energy Corp., a US public company formed by the former Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee,[2] Dr Albert Reynolds.[3][4][5] BioSpheres manufactured under license in Russia, China, Thailand, Mexico and the USA were deployed worldwide. Dr Reynolds spearheaded the company's involvement in North Africa and North East Asia, before retiring due to ill health.[6][7] BioSphere and its military and marine variants BioSphere-Neo and BioSphere-Marine, is a starved oxygen gasification process[8] that harnesses the combustibility of solid wastes in a limited–oxygen environment with significantly limited atmospheric emissions creating a heat source and generating electricity in a gas/steam turbine. Examples of wastes that can be converted into green energy using this technology are municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, forestry surpluses or wastes, industrial waste, medical waste materials, and traditional fossil fuels.
The manufacturing and marketing rights to the patented BioSphere technology were licenced to a Shenzhen-based Chinese consortium in 2013. BioSphere is one of several waste to energy technologies invented, patented, designed, developed and commercialized by McCormack who is a Fulbright Scholar,[9] Fogarty Fellow[10] and an Elected Member of The Physiological Society.[11] BioSphere superseded DiGenter[12] which was first patented in 1986 and developed with the support of the Ford Motor Company[13] and The University of California-Riverside and Energy Resource Institute of California.[14] DiGenter a technology which was deployed widely in China and India was one of the first successful commercial scale sustainable cellulosic waste to ethanol technologies; a forerunner to the now successful DuPont technologies[15] manufacturing renewable fuel grade Bio-ethanol[16] and gasoline from non-food feedstock's, waste materials, bagasse and biomass.[17]
