2012
To Design and Build,
A new breakthrough, competitive, sustainable, safe and eco-efficient processing routes for the simultaneous manufacture of transportation fuels, (CH)power, food, feed, and added-value bio-based products (chemicals, materials). As first presented by IEA BioEnergy While this objective was spelled out in 2010, we have been working on this integration concept for over 20 years.
The idea it was possible to be sustainable and not be integrated with your design build was never something we believed in, nor did we ever see a crop based feedstock as any type of sustainable feedstock source. If you don’t have algae in the mix you will never get there. If your algae research is not advanced, you can simply start over. If your biology is any less than your chemistry work, your lost. If your starting now be ready to spend a lifetime learning from your mistakes.
Insightful proof our Bio Based BTL & GTL research institute is the future. What must be added is a training program for GTL operations and conversion. The CHP aspect is an important aspect to integration, we would only add more power will be needed on site from day 1.
If you don’t know the green legal teams and understand their many demands, you might want to join their non-profit .orgs and get up to speed.
We are not saying it is required to agree with everything any lawyer requires. We are simply saying you might consider sitting down and listening to the clean, green, viewpoints presented by very insightful people who care about a sustainable green future.
We don’t agree with the focus or direction taken by the green legal powers that be, however we respect many of their long term objectives. They do not understand the KEY PRIMARY aspect of BTL and GTL energy production, nor do that understand working wages and the demand for low cost fuel. That is their mistake. It is & always has been, PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFIT, not the other way around.
1Eco is, has, and always will be our green sustainable liquid fuels distribution brand across the downstream and midstream path. We understand every phase of the old energy business model and have always reported our view that this is required energy understanding. This does not mean we will not be selling gasoline and diesel on site. We will. What it means is we will have a solar powered fueling center, that offers bio based fueling products, hydrogen, & electric power hook up. It will not look like any fuel center in the market place today, however the cost demands per location for redesign are so extensive, we are exploring new locations. This doesn’t happen until our first Bio-Refinery is producing fuel. One of our primary production products will be our own Bio based GTL blended gas liquid. There will be no biorefinery in the world that will be more cost effective, directly related to our GTL research. If you have missed GTL then you have missed the the whole midstream and downstream value chain and we can’t help you. While we are offering to assist select companies with signed consulting agreements, most simply can’t see the forest for the trees. They are burning through money now and they will be burning through money until it is gone, then they will simply go get more, from investors willing to THROW MONEY AT THE BASIC BUSINESS MODEL. In that case, maybe they might want to limit the negative numbers per quarter until they get their research heading in the right direction. We are not cheap, however we are always fair & more than happy to assist those who begin to understand they need consulting assistance.
Seems #2 on the Biofuels Hot list has a large scale business plan & the -EBITDA that goes with it.

The problem with large business plans is they may cost more. The simple solution to the problem seems to be raise more money.
The poorest performer in the #1 Area we track, with regard to BTL.
AMRS 4.90 0.29 5.59% 1.47 223.75M -168.87M 1.61 1.24% 20.10 -3.99 -0.53 45.66M -0.13 -40.84% -8.76
The key number. -$168.87 Million Dollars.
Does this mean the company will never make a profit?
All it means is, that in 2011 they lost $168.87 Million Dollars
What we hate to see if private money coming in after the fact, via dilution.
$83M new money raised
They do have one person we really admire. She, no doubt, is being held back.

Pre-treatment Aspects presented today regarding Ionic Liquids show promise. Excellent work by J Bay.
Here the science..
http://www.jbei.org/deconstruction/pretreatment.shtml
Pre-treatment has always been of major interest, as has the mixed feedstock study. This data is most helpful, as is most of the J Bay work.
It is worth pointing out Our Chief Integration Officer might enjoy going back there at some point. To be sure, she should be playing a key role with her research in the not to distant future. That is an objective we are working to advance now with our new natural enzyme and oils division. See..
Just got the site up last week, however we will whip it into shape soon.
A lesson every green energy producer must learn.

If you don’t understand the price action of the product, you will not last more than a few years in alternative energy or energy in general. This in large part because the powers that be, can wipe saw you to pieces, with the ups and downs of the PERCEIVED SUPPLY and demand, that makes up, energy trading.
Until you learn the trading action, NEVER TAKE A DIME from a single investor. YOU BOTH WILL GET BEAT.
The very reason old energy doesn’t care about green energy solutions. They know they can pick it up on less than it cost you to build it if you don’t understand the long term price action. Plan on trading for 15 years, then consider producing. Better yet, 25.
You don’t have to like the product, but you MUST RESPECT IT. This was, and has, NOT BEEN DONE, by most in bio based fuels. Add to the mix that what was produced is not truly green and it becomes easy to see WHY, MOST Who claim to understand investment in green fuel PRODUCTION, Don’t know their BUTT from their ELBOW.
Natural Gas is greener than most Alternative Energy Plays and YET, it is still regarded as FAR LESS THAN GREEN. The concern is directly related to drilling into the ground and doing anything that is not natural to the subsurface. Anything that might end up in the water table is regarded as a major risk and the clean burn aspect of natural gas will always be seen as less than ideal.
see both sides dealing with natural gas…
&
& here, where the real problems start to surface, to the point the ranchers are asking earthjustice for help…

What is always easy to see in each of these energy plays is moderation MUST factor into the overall equation or problems become the NORM.
IT HAS BEEN and ALWAYS WILL BE, OPERATIONS that proves up long term sustainable success in all energy solutions. OPERATIONS DEMAND moderation. They also demand REMEDIATION. If you don’t know REMEDIATION stay out of energy production and stay out of operations. YOU WILL ONLY FAIL, LONG TERM.
If you are in solar and wind and think, Natural gas will not play a major role in the future of energy, YOU ARE IN FOR A SLOW ROAD to NOWHERE, & SO are your INVESTORS.
BACT, best available control technology, has just shifted to BRIGHT GREEN

That being said the new year brings new surprises for those wishing to build new, old energy design, POWER projects, or clean, 30 year old, ones. Those new cost considerations are far more advanced that present thinking and they will require a whole new cost est. projection, which is the very project we have been working on for years, relative to integrated clean solutions. It was never enough to simply do the min. required in old cleaning work. While it is easy to see that work was much better than nothing, $119 Million will not get the job done anymore.
We attempted to make this point before the deadline for the new rules to KICK IN on JAN.1 and no one seemed to listen. Time and Time again we have been saying this is far more costly than most might think and yet M&A with regard to power went right on as if they simply had no care in the world. All the while this is what you might now get new in basic combined cycle systems..
Keep in mind that is NEW POWER PLANT Construction not something 30 years old, or older.
Not that this is remotely like, what we might wish to build for the same, Massive Amount, of money.
Even with all our work we still don’t have a total projected number and it may be months before we do, even as we are working full bore on the project. While all of this research is private, to be sure it is FAR NORTH by a long SHOT of that old clean number. Our work has not come up with a total figure as yet but as the managing partner, I am able to say, there is no way that number is even in the ballpark.
More will be in our 2011 Power Report, however that report as are all reports will be private. That data is only provided to our private Energy Division and the Bus. Dev. Working Partners. It will also be provided to all Licensee holders.
To be sure, A Permaculture Mindset MUST BE REQUIRED, as we view BACT, IN AMERICA STARTING IN 2011
Anything short of that missed the B, as in BEST.

Just got this today, showing someone IS BURNING HOT WITH BRIGHT GREEN ENERGY..
I am very pleased to see no NUMBERS were injected into this very important announcement and HOPE they will not be in the future as the real numbers make SHAKE The foundations of these old energy THINKERS. This REGION is in OUR WHEELHOUSE to be sure WE will want to speak to all Executives with regard to this NEW BACT, REDESIGN with CLEAN GREEN SOLUTIONS EST. in PRIVATE.
HOPE IS ALIVE and Growing Stronger by the DAY
With regard to the Site remediation $500M to $800M JOB. That should be directed by the .org that force the clean up in the first DAMN place. Read their PDF here…
2010 Energy Report: Advancing Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production
Posted by 2011wd in 2010 Energy Report, Advanced Building Materials, Bio-Composites, Bio-gas, Bioneers, BTL, CHP, CPV, CSS carbon sequestration & storage, Feedstock, Green Building Materials, Green Cities, Green Design, Green Edu., Green Job Training & Education, Green Jobs, Green Sustainable Future, integrate CAD/BIM/GIS, Natural Gas, Power Towers, Solar, Solar Companies, STE, Steel, TES, TES Thermal Energy Storage, Waste To Energy, Water and Waste Treatment on February 24, 2010
While Alt. Fuel is our main focus, we are shifting the research this year to advance our Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production objectives because of the need for cheaper smart power onsite. That power demand will be extensive so we wish to design something that has never been done & something that will be a model for future development sites and projects. If you, or your company, are on the cutting edge of Thermal solar, TES, hydrogen, natural gas, CHP, heat & air, geothermal, on a base load scale, please consider presenting your white papers per our request.
We are tracking over 200 companies in these different energy areas and wish to learn more about how we might work together as we are able to see business development move in a like minded direction. If we are not already tracking your company and you feel we should be, please let us know and we will look over your profile. Keep in mind this is base load and smart onsite which is not the norm. Our objective is to produce power cheaper, cleaner, smarter with combined energy sources & seemless intergration. If you don’t have a working solution for that type of energy production potential, that can be tracked at every point in the loop, the question becomes, why not? Current research and design models have our projected cost per MW of power far cheaper than most producing alternative energy systems & designs which means all old systems currently in production are outdated and of no use to us without extensive modification, demanding major expense, & rework.
We are open to co-production agreements with current old energy systems companies that know they must transfer their plant designs which are presently outdated. This will demand feedstock transfers, production downtime, construction costs which will be extensive, not to mention major investment in new & renovated infastructure, buildings and equipment, keeping in mind these will be first time projects never produced before. Total new alternative energy cost projections are a major part of our M&A evaluation process. Those numbers are presently far more than most have projected even on a model, first phase scale. This is in large part due to remediation which seems lost to most in the total restructure equation. Without this extensive remediation expense understanding, whatever cost number that might be reached, has missed it’s mark on a grand scale. In fact, we will not consider any future project unless we have been in charge of all remediation work during the life of the cost consideration evaluation process phase. There will not be one dime spent on any potential old energy production plant rework without first having the remediation cost projections well in hand. Here we must work side by side with both CFO and COO who are the only people who might begin to understand the merit of our clean site objectives and process.
It is also important to remember we are talking about an underground and above ground sea of pipes, wires, equipment, & roads that must be integrated. Operations must be priority one with any new design. These operations must be integrated on a large scale. This means thinking in terms of a closed loop type system. This demands CAD/BIM/GIS.
This is where our alternative fuel designs are making advances and we feel our base load power production should have the same type model. Total utilization of energy must be a major objective.
Algae may play a CSS role as well.
Posted by 2011wd in BTL, CSS carbon sequestration & storage, Feedstock, Waste To Energy on July 12, 2009
http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2007/0407-possible_fix_for_global_warming.htm
It was already moving up as a feedstock option.
Algae ideas are also searching for funds.
Not our first choice feedstock as yet, however long term it is possible to see the merit with the right project designs as CSS is fully utilized.
Water is the key to effective integrated sustainable design
http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/22766/
Water is and always will be the first consideration with regard to any project, property, or process. If the research is to be effective, water must be the first text to the green sustainable study.
This is a true water study.
