Projects

Liberty Biomass of Philadelphia, Inc. is developing various projects within communities throughout the United States and abroad.

Mantua, West Philadelphia:

LBP’s overall goal is the development of community based renewable energy generation systems that not only provide energy, but also serve as a tool for community education and economic independence. We will evaluate the use of several renewable technologies, develop strategies for training of local residents in energy systems manufacture and maintenance, and institute a pilot facility for generation of energy for the neighborhood.  The Mantua neighborhood in West Philadelphia will be used as the pilot community.

Chicago/Roseland Project:

Roseland, as a disenfranchised segment of the city of Chicago, has been plagued with many climate pollution effect changes (asthma, heart disease, increased CO₂ emissions, violence, unemployment, etc.), is an ideal community for the LBP Chicago/Roseland Project’s Totally Green Initiative.

Fostered by certified (501(c)(3)) organizations (Developing Communities/RAY of Illinois), the LBP Chicago/Roseland Project will introduce local sustainable energy at the community level with a range of potential benefits to include: immediate green employment, low cost electricity, reduced CO₂ emissions, and green education.  Residents, educated at the grassroots level, can make the transition to a low carbon economy a reality by using Green strategies in their own neighborhoods.

Once established, LBP will expand its focus to include the city of Chicago, the State of Illinois and the entire nation.

HBCU National Green Energy Initiative:

Liberty Biomass of Philadelphia, Inc. is dedicated to providing green energy to the 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their surrounding communities.  The primary mission of LBP’s HBCU National Green Energy Initiative is to provide membership to a GREEN ENERGY & GREEN JOB organization by which all HBCUs can experience financial success, stability, economic development, and academic enrichment; administer and regulate affordable renewable energy that will foster energy independence, safeguard the environment and promote healthy communities; and develop GREEN job training that promotes sustainability.

The Human Resources Forum of Philadelphia, Inc.:

The Human Resources Forum of Philadelphia, Inc. is the Non-Profit arm of Liberty Biomass.  Its strategic focus is centered around finding specialized funding and using that funding to enhance our renewable energy projects through manufacturing, technology, apprenticeships, education and training.

The Renewable Energy Institute:

LBP will use company profits to help organize, develop and construct the Liberty Biomass Renewable Energy Institute.  It will provide many local green jobs, green job placements for the manufacturing and installation of solar panels, wind panels, biomass equipment, green housing construction; and the repairing and upgrading of an existent industrialized commercial property.

The Liberty Biomass Renewable Energy Institute will also assist with Renewable Energy Management, Training and Technology Demonstration, and other special Renewable Energy Pilot Projects.  This Institute will conduct research on retro-fitting buildings for energy efficiency and how best to provide combined heat and power to area housing and other businesses located in targeted areas with efficient, renewable energy.

Our concept to become “Totally Green” will influence the way consumers think and experience their homes, and environments as being GREEN internally (inside) and externally (the atmosphere). We will use a ‘holistic’ approach for a full range of practical solutions to: reclaim, reuse, recycle, and research.   Our overall goal is to convert old thinking into new green thinking and empower youth and community residents to think green, play green, eat green, learn green, drink green, work green, shop green, worship green and communicate green.

 Sierra Leone, West Africa:

LBP’s mission is to provide low cost Electricity to businesses in Sierra Leone through renewable energy, as well as provide jobs through is sweet sorghum initiative, putting hundreds of farmers to work.   Biomass, an economical source of renewable energy, has the greatest potential for making Sierra Leone independent of imported oil.  Liberty Biomass of Philadelphia proposes to use sweet sorghum to produce ethanol, providing a source of energy as an alternative to fossil fuel.
