Microwaved charcoal technology gets thumbs up from writer
Microwaved charcoal technology gets thumbs up from British science writer
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 7 June 2011 ) There's nothing quite as pleasing as someone else mentioning you in their book - so Blenheim-based CarbonScape must have a grin from ear to ear at the moment.
It, and its patented microwave technology that can continuously produce activated carbon from wood and other waste, is the only New Zealand enterprise featured in British futurologist, Mark Stevenson's book.
Stevenson, a writer, stand-up comedian, cultural education consultant, as well as a musician and expert in prime number cryptography (what can't he do!), traveled the world in search of new technologies that could transform the way our world looks.
The result is, 'An Optimist's Tour of the Future: One Curious Man Sets Out to Answer "What's Next?"'
