Algae to Oil, The NASA Way

Helps to see the big picture when dealing with design. Notice how the waste to algae aspect was utilized. If you are not using waste in your algae model, start over. If you don’t start over your design will be all wrong.

Why does design matter?

Operations. If the design is wrong, operations will be a nightmare. Always reverse engineer everything around operations & think in green chemistry, organic permaculture paths. How easy is the system to operate daily? How is your waste stream managed? Always start with waste & waste water because that is the beginning and end of your bio-cycle path. If the polymer is a bio based polymer with the latest advancements, then you are on the right path.

Ideally, You will want the bag to have the ability to compost over time.

The Two Sinks for Co2. Algae and Agri-Char

If your bio-refinery is truly integrated then you must be advanced in both Algae growth and Agri-Char for the purposes of CO2 Sinks.

It is no longer Carbon Capture and Storage. CCS. It is rather CCSC. Carbon Capture, Storage, & Conversion.

If your not converting CO2 into products, you are missing the clean, green, integration boat.

Chemistry Paths that address the true demand.

What we now have with companies in America is a rush to file rights on work that is of very little economic value, hoping it will assist in the funding process.

The logic being the rights will protect their short sighted business model efforts.

They are wrong. All it will really do, is have others run the other way. We on the other hand are about bringing the very best science minds together for the benefit of all. Come with your proof of concept, your science research, or your lic. if you wish. Here all will be respected.

One of the true green science Chemistry paths is here, and addressed the ligno pretreatment phase in a light that clearly understands that lignin is and always has been a bio based product worth producing. Funny how almost every part of the integrated path has treated some of the most valued bio based products as nothing more than waste to be burned. Once again. WRONG.

Where we have had our advantage from the start is with our green chemistry mentor. The greatest Chemist of his generation from our perspective will always be Andy Miga. He is gone now & He has been deeply missed. Without him we would have very little understanding of the merit of a truly integrated Bio-refinery. If you think you are up to Andy’s speed, we want to talk to you. It will help if you know you are the very best & are willing to back it up. You’ll have to understand value where other see waste to beat out Andy.

Don’t come to us with rights that prove you have some small % of success in a tube. If you want to talk Fractionation that is proven to be cost effective and economical, bring it, otherwise do not waste our time with rights that prove NOTHING other than to help raise money from companies willing to throw money at the problem.

It was never about who could raise the money. A lifetime later, it is still about the design and build

That being said, even the ideal design and build was never going to be ready until the time was right. Only when all of the pieces started to come together would true integration start to take shape. While the integration concept is addressed, Permaculture is not a part of their old design, or working model. That has only taken place if you have chosen to see the truly clean, green, sustainable alternatives to the past, crop for fuel, poor design and build.

Those permaculture pieces are finally coming together for both the natural oils and pretreated enzymatic complex sugars. Those green chemistry organic designs will start out small with a production rate that doesn’t over produce and does not need to concern itself with the price of gasoline or diesel.

With that, the design and build must be both unique, & cost effective. It is, as if seeing, Ethanol, Bio Diesel, & crop based sugars, all over again. Same Song, different verse, like some broken record. Billions raised in search of producing fuel as an alternative to gasoline & diesel. How many hundreds of plants have been built, all with the best of intentions. How many are producing fuel now with ongoing operations are producing a profit? Keep in mind if the feedstock is a CROP based biomass IT IS NOT regarded as sustainable.

There are a few who see the future. They are on the right path & yet they still may not get there. Unless you are integrated, you’re only dreaming.

Without and extensive trained staff even that is nothing more than a pipe dream. Operations the key, & that will demand and army of trained professionals. We will first work to train those workers. It is, & always will be, about the very finest trained working team.

To be sure, the design and build will be small enough to produce a profit and expand with the advancements in research as more cost effective operations are discovered with operations as the guide.

The story is told in the 52 week High’s & lows

Price† Change High Low
Light Crude 106.70 -2.14 108.70 93.95
Corn 655.00 -0.25 792.00 557.50
Gasoline 3.27 -0.0796 3.30 2.50
Ethanol 2.26 +0.00 2.26 2.25

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.

The Federal Gov. & the Fed. just got wise. U.S. Vs Banks, followed by the Twist

First the Federal Gov. is going after the banks, which is long past due. How they could let, those in leadership roles in that sector, maintain any kind of normal life, is beyond logic. The massive scale of the SCAM they pulled, is nothing short of The biggest CON JOB on the American People, that has ever taken place. Only when the U.S. claws back every dime, will we begin to see any kind of justice, for the damage done.

Millions have been wiped out by job loss, home loss, property loss, savings, & pension loss, as Main Street becomes the victim of Wall Street. Who got hit the most? The list is long.

Small Business Owners. With no working capital and no hope of new lending options, it’s only a matter of time before they go out of business. While mid cap and big cap can always cut back, & restructure to survive, the small business owner simply can’t hold on.  In most cases, everything they have is wrapped up in their business. Once the business goes under, everything else is gone. Everything.

Employees who experienced home value loss, & pension plan loss, then are forced to early retirement. Not only do they no longer have a pay check coming in, they can’t get their home refinanced and they have seen their pension fund either dry up and blow away or reduced to nothing in very short order as they find it impossible to pay the mortgage with no new money coming in.

Workers who were on the part time, two job, small income bubble.  Now are lucky to find any kind of work at all. Without work & no savings, this leaves very few options short of some type of charity or assistance. Millions are in this boat now in the U.S. With prices still high for food, fuel, insurance, electric, it becomes almost impossible to live day to day, without a job.

How the U.S. Federal Gov. can put a price tag on all of this loss, is something that becomes almost impossible to imagine. Millions of Americans have been impacted by this SCREW JOB. NOT ONE FINANCIAL PERSON has been held accountable as yet. NOT ONE. All hidden behind the Too Big To Fail, Cloak. While it’s too little to late, maybe, just maybe, the Federal Gov. is getting it’s ACT TOGETHER.

FINALLY.

The American People DEMAND SOME FORM OF JUSTICE.  Hopefully the U.S. Justice Department is up to the TASK. WE SHALL SEE.

The next wise call comes from the FED with their new TWIST MOVE. Selling almost all of their $265 Billion short end paper by June 13, 2012, in order to buy back $265 Billion in long term bonds is by far the best move they have made in the last 3 years. The yield curve becomes almost nothing which means the free ride the banks had in the spread will soon be GONE.

Two very wise moves followed by an excellent 4 hour meeting on pre-treatment. WE ARE NOTHING SHORT OF MOVED.  When the markets start to fall we shall see just how smart they really are. Here is a little HINT!! Stay the HELL OUT OF IT.

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.

National Ag Bio Fuel Feedstock & Processing study.

http://bit.ly/hMDqET

if you’re not adding these details to the finished report, it will get slammed before it has a chance to get out of the office.

http://bit.ly/ibBJPw

then, it might help to keep in mind feedstocks MUST BE LOCAL to processing.
