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.

Price Swing is directly related to regional supply and demand

The US has an Over Supply of oil at present. The rest of the world’s market is tighter, hence the supply and demand, PRICE SHIFT.
This may get wider with TIME as WE START TO INCREASE both BTL and GTL, US Domestic, see…

As for SOUR and SWEET. Guess which refinery might get CLOSED over time? Which one gets FINED if it isn’t updated to CLEAN that SOUR.
Didn’t someone get HIT with a $700M upgrade settlement just the other day. Seems I read that somewhere. Numbers like that may not matter to Big Cap. When you’re a little independent those kind of numbers can make you a little less likely to put up with the SMELL. If you give TWO CENTS worth of attention to CLEAN GREEN SOLUTIONS you might begin to learn the difference in the two products.
I myself prefer this…
Natural Gas does play a part in this as it MIGHT play a part in GTL, or Power to reduce production costs associated with BTL or GTL.
By the way. Which country has the MOST GOLD?
Is it CHINA?
Is it Japan?
Who guessed Gold & Silver would go up as the price of the product went down here in the US, while at the same time going up everywhere else?
Who ever you are, IT would seem you just WON the short term prize.
The question becomes this? What does this do to the currency plays. It’s still a few WILD moves OUT as YET. Can you see IT? It is coming.
Biofuels should replace M.E. Imports

CANADA 1,975
MEXICO 1,229
VENEZUELA 884
BRAZIL 188 This is an ideal working partner source country.
COLOMBIA 489
RUSSIA 553
ALGERIA 379
Advanced Biofuels should be ramped up to replace M.E. Imports as conservation also improves. BTL, or GTL, the future numbers must exceed current projected increases. This sustainable fuels effort would utilize feedstocks that are not food crop oriented. These fuels would support sustainable forest objectives. These biofuels should be in the black on their own merit without subsidies. These biofuels feedstocks would be no till & organic. This is only possible as permaculture integration becomes the norm.
Most have simply missed this important aspect.
This is a long term effort that will require a national scope as it is proven on a regional level. Sustainable Distribution models will begin to produce meaningful advantages as they are designed and developed.
Important algae research should be supported and valued.
Interesting observations from a VC perspective…
When should working clean energy models be funded? Should effective land use matter?
only when the feedstocks are a part of an integrated CAD/BIM/GIS total system design will it be possible to see real economic value exhibited on a large scale.
http://1eco.com/category/integrate-cadbimgis/ algae shows feedstock potential in many forms, closed loop design models being one such form however small. closed loop systems do not demand large cost if costs are offset by effective design utilization for other important aspects other than feedstock production. why closed loop, you might ask. Total system design space utilization. case in point. the latest solar array approved for future funding has a total land area demand of over 4 thousand acres. this is poor integrated design however it will be funded.
as for investors. in an attempt to fund the first successful green alternative oil BTL effort, very high risk has been taken with less study than should be required. others are now looking at Carbon sequestration & storage http://1eco.com/category/css-carbon-sequestration-storage/ which would deal directly with the energy issue from a clean burning perspective with old energy system designs. STORAGE becomes their issue, again demanding large land space utilization, which has also been approved for funding. Neither future funded program will be utilizing that land as it should have been, however both are going to be funded. Only when closed loop systems are integrated in a total system design will you begin to see truly effective clean energy system designs. This does not seem to matter at this point in the funding process.
Who is to blame for these short sighted funding choices and why?
