What does this mean for landowners?
Simply that your land doesn't need to be permanently scarred by
drilling activities. “Kenaf Roads” are a great example of Texans
working together to solve problems.
Our
mats are produced primarily out of renewable and recycled materials. By
combining the natural fibers from the “Kenaf” plant (a member of the
hibiscus family grown commercially throughout the country including
Texas) with plastic resin to bond material together, NGI is proud to
supply a product that not only aids industry but creates jobs in our
state and doesn’t adversely affect our forests.
NGI and
Kenaf Board and Butanol are Texas-based companies and desire to expand
market development of Kenaf in Texas. Studies indicate that
the warm climate of the Texas Gulf Coast provides an optimal
environment for Kenaf crops and high fiber yields. Because the
production of Kenaf should be localized in the region of the processing
plants, Texas is ideal for market development. Business
opportunities exist around crop production, processing, manufacturing,
and distribution.
Advantages of Natural Fibers
Low cost, low density, strength and durability, recycling, annually
renewable, non-wood, biodegradability, carbon dioxide
sequesterization, and added-value for agricultural products.
