Harris Group Inc." Successful commercialization of Alternative Fuel projects including Biodiesel, Biomass, Ethanol and Cellulosic Ethanol" (New Subscriber Profile - March 27,2007) 

 

Every year, businesses seek the professional services of engineering firms. Is it drawings they want? Hardly, they want to be certain that the vision they hold in their minds can be turned into reality...a new facility, a new process, a new alternate fuels plant.

 

There are myriad issues owners must consider when planning for any commercial venture - "How much will my project cost?" "Have I chosen the right technology?"  "How will all the pieces of my project be successfully integrated?"

 

Founded over 30 years ago, for the past 14 years, Harris Group Inc. through their Process Solutions business unit has been helping customers in alternate fuels put all the components together for the successful commercialization of their projects. Harris Group's services include independent technology assessments, meaning that they are not beholding to any single process provider, constructor, equipment vendor or financial institution. Their wide breadth of experience includes not just corn-to-ethanol, but biodiesel, biomass (lignocellulose) conversion; integrating these processes within a single production facility.

 

Their roots are in Forest Industries...since 1975, putting Harris Group at an extreme advantage considering the future of cellulosics. Additionally, Harris Group's Energy Business Unit has deep experience in supporting the financing aspects of many power generation and renewable energy projects. Collectively, with the capabilities of our Financial Consulting Unit offering specialized expertise in financial due diligence and construction monitoring, Harris Group is uniquely positioned in the marketplace and working with their customers to integrate all the critical components of their project towards successful implementation including risk assessment, feasibility studies, project definition, process conceptualization, technology assessment and equipment selection.

 

Working with their customers, Harris Group Inc. orchestrates the process of integration and puts all the pieces together for the successful commercialization of their customer's alternate fuel projects.

Moller International's Rotapower® rotary engine shows great promise for emerging Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) (Subscriber Profile)

 

The Rotapower engine is particularly appropriate for a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) where its small size can replace the five-time larger 4-stroke piston engine.  It is also an ideal replacement for the dirty 2-stroke engine.  2-Stroke engines still dominate many markets including snowmobiles, garden power tools, and chainsaws.  In Asia over 25 million 2-stroke engines are produced every year for the motor scooter-type vehicles and are about to be phased out.

 

The key component created during the volantor development was a unique rotary engine, which needed to be low cost, lightweight, powerful and as free from emissions as possible.  The resulting Rotapower® rotary engine is all of the above and ideal for many applications besides the volantor (see www.freedom-motors.com).  

 

In a demonstration before the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) at the University of California, Davis the Rotapower engine showed that it could meet California's Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards using gasoline as the fuel. Recent tests showed that using ethanol allowed the Rotapower® engine to easily meet California's Super-Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards, with emissions below ambient conditions in many U.S. cities.

 

Moller International, Inc. (OTCBB:  MLER) was founded in 1983 to create a personal, easy to use aircraft that could take off and land vertically (VTOL) and then be driven on the ground for some distance.

 

The Company developed and integrated the disparate technologies to create this VTOL aircraft called a volantor.  Both the M400 Skycar® and M200 volantors have now flown numerous times with the M200G scheduled to enter production in 2008. 

 

Further information on the Skycar® or Rotapower® engine can be obtained by contacting Bruce Calkins at (530) 756-5086 or by email to bruce@moller.comor at www.moller.com or www.freedom-motors.com.

BioStreet Canada Inc. From Field to Refinery - Vegreville Biodiesel Project - Subscriber Profile

BioStreet Canada Inc. was founded in 2005 for the specific purpose of commercializing new and emerging bioenergy and biofuels technologies in Canada to participate in the rapidly growing renewable energy industry and the growing demand for Canadian clean fuels and energy. The focus of BioStreet until 2010 is the design, construction and commissioning of a 175 million litre per year biodiesel crusher and refinery.

On June 1st, 2007, Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach joined BioStreet to announce the location of the facility in Vegreville, AB. The Vegreville "Field to Refinery" Project will produce 175 million litres of biodiesel per year. This project will be one of the largest facilities of its kind in Canada. Demand for biodiesel in Canada is increasing rapidly due to rising costs of petroleum diesel, agricultural and rural development interests and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, yet production is still negligible. There are currently only two commercial scale biodiesel plants operating in Canada, producing less than 100 million litres/year. The federal requirement for 5% biofuel content by 2010 and anticipation of a biodiesel standard, will further increase demand and create a more stable market for biodiesel, with an anticipated demand for 1.5 billion liters per year by 2015.

To date, the BioStreet team has completed the conceptual development, engineering prefeasibility and the business plan with financial projections. Completion of these activities has allowed BioStreet to fully assess the viability of the project based on a known location, enabling the project to move forward to the next phases including engineering scoping and the design base memorandum.

BioStreet's projections estimate annual sales of $192,508,856 CDN during the first year of operations. This does not include the renewable fuel producer credits offered by the Government of Alberta and soon to be announced by the Federal Government. The total existing and recommended credits will potentially increase gross sales to $243,258,856 CDN. BioStreet is currently seeking strategic partners and investors, and collecting resumes for engineering/operations staff.
