Hydroprocessing demands both a cost effective Thermochemical Conversion Platform & a permaculture awareness

At least they are on the thermochemical conversion path.

They are missing the boat from several directions, however just understanding the drop in, fuel and chemical demand. puts this work ahead of most.

Of the $1.4B invested last year, only 1/3 was geared toward Thermochemical. Without the Chemistry, the biology is simply held back, & will remain on hold.

If your biology is not running toward an Algae growth path, or you are still stuck in Corn, Study your closed loop, none crop, biomass objectives, all over again.

If you don’t have permaculture in your design, forget your integration model, it is simply flawed.

If your GTL is OFF, then get out now. You can’t get there from here without this extremely important phase. BTL without GTL advancements is still 5 years away from the projected target yield. If your not addressing the two key price reduction demands now with all your time and money, then you still will not get there.

It’s not a matter of producing. It is a matter of producing at an affordable price over time. Even if you find the price reductions in every key area, operations is still demanded to prove commercial success. The risk from here is still extremely high that no profit will ever be made even with all the work that has been done. This is why, throwing money at the problem has never been the answer. What is required is time for research. Something most simply do not wish to give without the price that is required to be paid. A lifetime of work, while still not knowing if it will be cost effective. That is the true cost of this research.

Anyone who tells you different is blowing smoke up their own rear end and serves you no purpose. You can’t dream up the yield per ton, or pray for the cost per gal. to magically go down, without better science. We have the best in their field exhibiting very exciting promise & yet we are smart enough to know we are still years away from anything proven. We are also smart enough to know the sub systems must be cost effective to BUILD, AS the construction costs must come down, while operating expenses are reduced. The math becomes fuzzy directly related to the size & the never ending cost over runs, which no one wishes to address.

What you don’t do is start out with a production yield objective of 200,000 gals a day. This is throwing money at the problem. Massive mistake.

The only way to get costs in line is to reduce the plant size from the start. If you have fixed numbers per sub system, we are buying. If you have proven operations we are buying. Otherwise don’t waste your time here. The fact that storage, transportation, distribution, expenses, across the board, is not even addressed & speaks vols. to the lack of understanding with regard to total integrated production costs.

This is not simply downstream. This is midstream coming together with downstream. If your not on that over all cost expense demand number, your off by a MILE.

2012 Green Sustainable Development Planning & Design, demands BIM, GIS.

As we look to find first choice providers for all future projects, development planning and design plays a very important visual & modeling role.

So much so, that we find ourselves seeking out the people that understand these visual and modeling methods from a truly green sustainable perspective. This means understanding integrated permaculture at the advanced BIM, Building information modeling, and GIS, geographic information system, level.

If you, or your green team, understands sustainability and is able to show green results using BIM & GIS, We want to talk to you.

Our 2012 Energy Report will include the BIM, GIS, development planning and design models needed to move forward.

The Future of development planning and design is NOW.

We welcome all truly green sustainable development planners, designers, engineers and architects as they might wish to consider assisting our green team reach our long term objectives.

Together we may seek to change development with the earth first in mind.

Why Solar goes much lower still. The same reason the Sector High was NUTS

Every alternative is only as strong as the old energy feedstock PRICING ACTION under the surface. This all a part of the WHEN OF IT.

http://bit.ly/oAOGNI

AS reported when the highs were here.  You sell the highs and buy the lows. We still go lower here. To be sure the M.M. while yank it for all it’s worth, but that is just because they can. Playing off the backs of retailers. Don’t let them play you.

In the end it will come back to inventory levels, supply and demand, & pricing action of old energy feedstocks. Most seem to forget natural gas. Big mistake. HUGE. They also forget GTL, or gas to liquids. Another massive mistake. Keep in mind most of the gas is shut in, meaning it is seen and regarded as worthless. Nothing could be more wrong. GTL plays a very big part of the U.S. domestic energy future regardless. If it is closed looped as it no doubt will be at some point soon, the game changes. Waste to Energy soon comes into the mix.  Water and Waste Treatment will always be a KEY part of the overall green sustainable future, IF you build it into your BIM/CAD designs from the very start. AS you do, you will see the value of GTL. This does not mean solar will not have it’s place. It simply means inventory levels must come down. How low do they go?

How far is the price of the product going to fall? Go ask the M.M. They are the guys who have been playing the energy trading scam from the start.

Finally the FED gets it RIGHT. FINALLY

The question becomes how long with that last. If they stick to their guns, we might begin to see the value levels that are real relative to current market conditions. Once there, we might begin to rebuild from the base valuations which have been hidden by past FED ACTION.

MAYBE JUST MAYBE, we might begin to build a new alternative energy sustainable future, when they learn to stay out of the way.

We shall see.

As for us, We ARE READY.

Will Distributed Solar Drive Utilities into Bankruptcy?

http://bit.ly/gpnTCU

We do not address the residential side of power however if the price to install does come down we might in the future. Why pay higher prices now if you know the price of install will come down. Makes no sense.

Commercial is another matter. A very big matter.

As this question is extremely important we will address the public ECO ASPECTS. BACT will not do with regard to retrofit, however much you are SOLD on the idea. If you are not reworking old energy designs with LAER standards, you are simply kicking the can down a very short road. When you look at Utility Value WATCH OUT FOR poor clean up designs which might be approved very recently. Those retrofit expenses do NOT produce Green Sustainable Eco Standards in our view. NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

The Power Sector is a vital part of our work and our detailed answers are private and very much a part of our research reports which are private user access only. There is a great deal here that has been overlooked. Current Case in point, showing recently approved rework addressed in private reporting details.

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..

http://bit.ly/eg5GAD

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..

http://bit.ly/fjmW7l

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…

Here comes the Sun! Once again Solar must be considered.

Since current private events are leading us to consider alternative feedstock options, SOLAR will always receive major consideration. Most of our research is private and only secured with the help of a business development services contract however there is much we will be able to share in the public forum with regard to public companies and their latest leading edge commercial POWER applications. If you are not interested in large scale projects this will not be the thread for you. If, however you are interested, we want to talk to you.

We will be contacting every current and former officer of every public and many private solar companies to see first hand what they might have to offer in today’s POWER PRODUCTION MARKET. This now in relation to an advancement in our former buying plans, see….

http://1eco.com/2010/12/02/we-are-looking-to-buy-energy-properties-for-the-purpose-of-conversion-to-clean-power-and-energy/

The revised and updated version of that article is private however we are able to say rather than buy old energy properties, we are now exploring building new. Only after our solar report is done with that take place. Much research has already been done in this regard however we have yet to talk to each lead officer, which must be done. That updated report will be held as private and limited only to officers, bus. dev. working partners, & our angel network which is also private. That total private green bus. dev. network is over 2000 and growing by the day. Our first choice partners are pension funds, as such we regard this research to be extremely important. WE ARE SHIFTING AS WE ARE ABLE TO NEW & MORE ATTRACTIVE CLEAN FEEDSTOCK sources and this is done because it NOW seems the only logical thing to do. As the price tag for old energy designs has increased we will simply build NEW.

A recent VC 2010 point of reference to review..

http://bit.ly/9l4VUM

Very little, if any, of the $Bs of VC $ put into solar  have yielded the type of results that VCs look for.  Just about the time others give up something new comes along. It is the next generation we are most interested in advancing.

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?

2010 Energy Report: Advancing Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production

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.

What is the future cost of energy?

Will the cost per MW be coming down and if so, when? What is driving that cost down now?

Will the cost per barrel & per gal. of old energy products be coming down and if so, when?

How does this matter to alternative energy investment?

What are the real supply and demand factors and how are they clouded even today?

Who clouded them in the first place & Why?

Potential M&A in energy demands knowing the answer to all these questions and many more. Alternative Energy M&A must at it’s core have a vast understanding of old energy methods and actions. WHY?

If you have already made an Alternative Energy buy in the last 4 years, did you pay to much?

If the alternative energy company is public, what is their burn rate?

What is the public alternative energy co. S,G,& A?

What is the public alternative energy co. EBITDA?

If the answers are not strong in these very important areas, why not?

Do small cap alternatives stand a chance in this market?

Should your powder stay dry and if so where is the bottom?

The time for alternative energy production will fall well after the M&A action that must take place first. Running to that action would be a very misguided move.
