How much energy consuming is the Carbamide creation process?

Sometimes what is interesting is not only all the greatness of the technology, but its drawbacks. So does Carbamide only have a bright side?

Yes, the current art of producing carbamide is with natural gas. With all the stranded gas that is available around the world we could set up skid factories at the drilling sites & produce carbamide in large quantities. Shipping will be inexpensive & safe. We can do this in conjunction with our renewable program with the later being the final art.

The energy penalty for carbamide is similar to other petroleum products, 10-15%.

Looking at the other technologies that are on the horizon, we feel carbamide can take the first real step in helping relieve oil dependence while being environmentally friendly.

Thanks for the questions.
