The build-outs will be outdated by the time they are finished and the funding model is all wrong.

The Talk is of concern for estimated construction cost increases.

This is the very reason why you don’t build big in the first phase of advanced research, design, & development.

This is also why you don’t put all your energy design into one system.

We have been talking about this for years and yet few have had the insight to stop and listen to what we are offering to potential working partners.

Start small and stick with what has been working. Make a profit. Then grow from that operations awareness.

If you don’t know what has been working. We can’t help you. Our 1st Choice potential working partners know & have been doing it for years.

A few words on the subject. Your FEEDSTOCKS are wrong. Much less your Temp.

If selecting this Feedstock and Temp….

It is Green Chemistry that comes from the Thermo Conversion Aspects that should be considered. It is the Separation Tech that should be Advanced if you value the true profit potential as we do.

This is old, as in 2009 but it will get you up to speed on the basics, allowing for a new Biomass Fluid Catalytic Cracking (BFCC) Catalysts

Excellent People. Worthy Goal. How you don’t get cost over runs with this type of large scale objective is beyond our, proven small scale, thinking.

This is not some quick fix green race. Rather it is the Energy Business that is attempting to go green over time.

If you forget that long term fact, you will not be around, nor will your investors make money.

Case in point. The talk is of being able to use old energy refiners. Sure the integrated in the mix would like to see this, however the green in anyone who has been in this research work for over 20 years, might say, Wait a minute. Shouldn’t the Hydroprocessing REACTOR be ADVANCED?

Shouldn’t the design of the New Plant be ADVANCED. If all you are doing is talking about a MORE COSTLY Old System the cost over runs are going to be there because the old systems will also need to be advanced.

This was shown as far back as 2004. Where were some of these new green thinkers then? Even old energy Pros know they need to change how they are building their systems. That means cost overruns every time. So much so, that no one wants to go first with any new build because they know it will be outdated before it is finished, see the latest, coming out of Cal

Bottom line is this. Even the Old Energy Systems must be advanced. What is it going to cost and how long is it going to take? Don’t let anyone blow smoke up your butt. No one knows, but you can bet it will cost more and take longer than anyone attempting to promote any new idea truly understands.

Hence the reason you don’t just focus on BTL & GTL. There is far more to consider and if you are not understanding this yet. We can’t help you.

More than Willing to offer up this. It is going to take far more than any new start up can raise with some IPO. That is nothing more tnan a VC pipedream. When we say this is Large Scale, we are addressing the scope & demand of integration. This is the very reason we have been doing this with our own dime. Expect 25 years of R&D with very little hope of Rev., while in research & design mode. Energy is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle. That puzzle must be integrated, closed looped, & designed with a permaculture understanding and awareness. Old Energy doesn’t even have a CLUE in that regard and doesn’t want one either. Anyone attempting to bring green solutions to old energy design models is barking up the wrong tree and will face overruns strong enough to kill a HORSE.

The old energy integrated can afford that. Can you?

Bio based understanding matters. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Cradle to Cradle. Natural, Organic. Think, Permaculture.

This is what we look for in suppliers. This is what we look for in consulting team members. This is what we look for is green sciences. This is what we look for in all research and study.

FSC Lumber, & Building Materials Matter.

As all FEEDSTOCKS become waste, the choice of biomass is directly related to it’s cradle to cradle, waste VOL.

As BIO-COMPOSITES become a part of the cradle to cradle working green solutions, the question becomes, What do you GROW, & how do you grow it.

Classic example.

Dieffenbacher

Excellent supplier. Wood Composites may become Wood Bio-composites to produce fiber board. The type NO VOC, glue matters. Reducing glue use matters. Energy expense and energy use matters.

They get this because they have been working on green solutions for years. This is the type supplier we are looking for. Think Green, Cost effective and total energy utilization.

Bio-Energy Consulting will center around strategic Integration insight

As the Strategic Integration Officer is added to our energy solutions consulting div., we look forward to offering those services to select VCs & COs who have exhibited an understanding of the merits of sustainable energy integration.

From our viewpoint, KA, is well suited for this complex, science based, role.  This shown, in large part, by past efforts with the same type national integration scope.

As we touch base over the coming months, she will be the person recommended to assist your sustainable integrated energy science efforts.

All consulting services are offered to first choice potential working partners only.

Those potential long term relationships may well start with integration consulting agreements.

KA’s bio and resume upon request to principals only.

It’s time to go to work. We need to clean up this NATION, NOW.

It is time to put people back to work cleaning up this country. Should have been done two years ago, however no time like the present. As Remediation has always been at the very heart of our efforts, now is the time to build out that business model in full force.

If you are in remediation, engineering, CAD/BIM/GIS design and biobased, we want to talk to you.  It is time to form the very best biobased remediation team we are able to form and start getting the job done on the ground.

For those wanting to wait, we simply say, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY & GO PLAY GOLF.

The WAITING IS OVER.

Cost cutting in solar. Think recycled materials

The basic green design idea is to heat water.

Others spend more money doing the same thing on a larger scale.

Then you have the light of 700 suns…

via the Fresnel lens, something we focus on here. The trick to bring the cost down far more than the present numbers. Sad fact is most still don’t know where the lens goes. Green intergrated design is about first seeing the whole system working in harmony with the rest of the eco system.

If you don’t have permaculture at the heart of your work, your on the wrong team. Sad fact is most do not care as long as they have a paying job. That sad fact is not seen just yet. It will be when the investors take the hit. If you not cutting costs & reducing the footprint via recycled materials and integrated sustainable design it is only a matter of time before a long term price will be paid.

The objective to reduce the footprint & the cost. Most have forgotten what reducing costs means. Where are the recycled materials? Why aren’t they being used? What’s wrong with cutting costs and using recycled materials? Seems some just don’t care about the cost or about the size of the footprint as they have been given endless supplies of money.

Green Design utilizing recycled materials

Shipping containers make an excellent recycled building material.
