TB CONSULTING (TBC) formerly Applied Biomass Technicians (ABT)

​

The objectives are the same and Thor Bailey presently is operating as an independent consultant. The field of experience is sustainability and good stewardship of the environment from individual family farmers to corporate farming organizations has been building for a long time and will continue for the foreseeable future. No agricultural activity impacts air and water quality as much as disposal of waste residues. TBC is continuing to support innovative methods for utilizing biomass residues. This includes recycling of biomass, converting waste to energy, and converting waste products to valuable soil amendments.
