Global Forest Watch Tool Allows ‘Near-Real Time’ Forest Monitoring - CT/YE360/WRI - Feb 21, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/21/global-forest-watch-…
http://news.mongabay.com/2014/0220-global-forest-watch.html

"A new online tool called Global Forest Watch employs a trove of high-resolution NASA satellite imagery and large amounts of computing power to help governments, conservation organizations, and concerned citizens monitor deforestation in “near-real time.”

Organized by the World Resources Institute (WRI), Global Forest Watch uses satellite data to track changes in forest cover since 2000. It’s the first tool with the capability of monitoring forests on a monthly basis, potentially allowing groups to take action against deforestation while it’s in progress.

Businesses committed to eliminating deforestation from supply chains can also use the tool to verify that vendors are not engaging in practices that harm forests. A custom alert feature can also notify a user when there are signs of deforestation in a region the user has selected. “Businesses, governments and communities desperately want better information about forests,” said WRI president Andrew Steer. “Now, they have it.” "

The Fossil Fuel Bubble? - CT/3BLM/D-IP - Feb 21, 2014

- Sara Gutterman -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/21/the-fossil-fuel-bubb…

"An interesting phenomenon is happening in the world of philanthropy. 17 large and reputable Foundations, including the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, The Educational Foundation of America, The John Merck Fund, The Russell Family Foundation, The Sierra Club Foundation, and the Wallace Global Fund, with assets totaling nearly $2 billion, have launched an initiative to divest from fossil fuel investments and place those funds into clean technology and organizations that beget a sustainable future.

This initiative, called Divest-Invest Philanthropy, has been created to raise awareness about the importance and urgency of moving away from fossil fuels and towards climate solutions. The Foundations involved in the Divest-Invest Philanthropy are joining environmental activist organizations like Bill McKibben’s 350.org as well as college students across the country (who are questioning en masse the endowment investment practices of their schools) to make a stand.

“Foundations are in a unique position,” said Richard Woo, Executive Director of The Russell Family Foundation, in a recent interview. “We are founded for the common good and have assets designed to achieve social purposes. We’re looking for meaningful ways to align our social mission with our investment portfolio. In the face of climate change, foundations are acting now, moving quickly, and shifting our investments to companies, organizations, and initiatives that support a lower carbon economy.”

The Russell Family Foundation, a Seattle-based organization that focuses on sustainable real estate, clean tech, green affordable housing, bio-carbon, and generation investment management, has been a pivotal influencer in the Divest-Invest Philanthropy movement.

During our conversation, Woo explained the methodology that the foundations have established as a part of the Divest-Invest Philanthropy initiative. First, the companies assess their exposure to climate risk and define the degree to which they’re invested in climate solutions versus fossil fuels. Next, they engage their board, staff, and other stakeholders to discuss alternative investment strategies and mission-based investment practices. Then, they set a timeframe to eliminate fossil fuels from their portfolio, beginning with the ‘Filthy 15’ (the largest, dirtiest coal companies in the US, which account for 40% of the coal consumed and 60% of the coal produced in this country), and make a commitment to invest increasing amounts of their funds into clean technologies and sustainable businesses.

Woo asserts that foundations are perhaps the easiest ships to turn because they have already made some kind of social commitment. They understand that sustainability plays into whatever mission they have, whether its education or community development or environmental protection.

“The impacts of climate change have a disproportional impact on poor, marginalized communities that don’t have the resilience to bounce back after an extreme weather event—or in the face of general environmental degradation—due to a lack of financial resources. The Divest-Invest movement offers the ability for the environmental groups to join forces with the social change community to build a triple bottom line economy. Through the momentum that we’re building, we’re seeing large investors, pension funds, and even individuals reassessing their investment strategies.”

Woo admits that some of his colleagues push back against the idea of divestment. “They begin to question basic economic assumptions. They ask, ‘Can I expect the same returns if I shift to a new paradigm? Am I exercising my fiduciary responsibility if I divest from my current stock holdings? Won’t there be people who will buy the stocks as soon as I divest, so what difference will my actions make?”

Woo counters with a logical retort. “First, I tell them about funds, like the Wallace Global Fund, which have fully divested from fossil fuels and are consistently outperforming similar funds. Next, I ask them to look realistically at risk of climate change and the limited value of fossil fuels. Then, I lay out a long term vision, explaining that we have a limited carbon budget for fossil fuels. If the end game is to use all of our fossil fuels, then we’ll make our planet unlivable, in which case all economic bets would be off.”

Woo insists that the value of fossil fuel companies is based on assets that are underground, which need to remain underground for the survival of the planet. He reasons that we’re eventually going to stop using fossil fuel either because we have come up with a more efficient solution, or because our air, water, and land will have become too polluted to support our current economic system. At that point, oil and gas companies will be forced to change their business models (or go out of business) through pressure imposed by market demand and/or regulation.

As fossil fuel companies continue to invest in polluting resources that won’t ultimately be used, they are amassing what will eventually become stranded assets. And what will happen to the valuation of these gigantic companies when the market realizes that they have significant amounts of stranded assets on their balance sheets? Will the fossil fuel bubble finally burst, resulting in a colossal market meltdown?

To avoid such a bubble and usher in a smooth transition to a low-carbon economy, Woo suggests that we support the Clean Trillion movement, which encourages investors to commit $1 trillion or more per year for the next 36 years into clean energy and climate solutions. “Divestment is important, but reinvestment is as important. We need to make our money work for us, as well as the planet,” says Woo.

Woo acknowledges that clean economy investments are still a work in progress. “We’re finding good opportunities, but we want to see more. We’re working with investors, advisors, and individuals who are willing to let go of old framework and redefine risk—that’s how the clean trillion will be realized.”

No doubt, it’s hard to envision a cleaner future while the fossil fuel-based companies have such a stranglehold on our economy. However, as fossil fuel assets become riskier and more expensive, foundations, pension funds, and large investors will find it easier to eliminate them from their portfolio. And unlike the tobacco industry, which certainly has a dramatic effect on personal health, fossil fuels have an undeniable and irreparable global impact that will undoubtedly affect local practices, national policy, international law. Divestment, which was once seen as an unrealistic demand by environmentalists and idealistic college students, is now entrenched firmly at the crossroads of public policy, consumer demand, and sound business practices.

G20 "aspires to faster economic growth, roadmap sketchy" - FY/R, SYDNEY - Feb 22, 2014

- Louise Egan and Jan Strupczewsk -
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/g20-ready-aspire-faster-global…

"The world's top economies have embraced a goal of generating more than $2 trillion in additional output over five years while creating tens of millions of new jobs, signaling optimism that the worst of crisis-era austerity was behind them.

The final communiqué from the two-day meeting of Group 20 finance ministers and central bankers in Sydney said they would take concrete action to increase investment and employment, among other reforms. The group accounts for around 85 percent of the global economy.

"We will develop ambitious but realistic policies with the aim to lift our collective GDP by more than 2 percent above the trajectory implied by current policies over the coming 5 years," the G20 statement said.

Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey, who hosted the meeting, sold the plan as a new day for cooperation in the G20.

"We are putting a number to it for the first time -- putting a real number to what we are trying to achieve," Hockey told a news conference. "We want to add over $2 trillion more in economic activity and tens of millions of new jobs."

The targeted acceleration would boost global output by more than the world's eighth largest economy Russia produces in a year.

The deal was also something of a feather in the cap of Hockey, who spearheaded the push for growth in the face of some skepticism, notably from Germany.

"What growth rates can be achieved is a result of a very complicated process," Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said after the meeting.

"The results of this process cannot be guaranteed by politicians."

Australia is acting as president of the G20 this year, following Russia in 2013 and ahead of Turkey next year.

While shifting the focus to reforms that would lift and sustain global growth in years to come the group acknowledged that monetary policy would need to "remain accommodative in many advanced economies and should normalize in due course."

The growth plan borrows wholesale from an IMF paper prepared for the Sydney meeting, which estimated that structural reforms would raise world economic output by about 0.5 percent per year over the next five years, boosting global output by $2.25 trillion.

The IMF has forecast global growth of 3.75 percent for this year and 4 percent in 2015.

As yet there was no road map on how nations intend to get there or repercussions if they never arrive. The aim was to come up with the goal now, then have each country develop an action plan and a growth strategy for delivery at a November summit of G20 leaders in Brisbane.

"Each country will bring its own plan for economic growth," said Hockey. "Each country has to do the heavy lifting."

Agreeing on any goal is a step forward for the group that has failed in the past to agree on fiscal and current account targets. And it was a sea change from recent meetings where the debate was still on where their focus should lie: on growth or budget austerity.

Financial markets had been wary of the possibility of friction between advanced and emerging economies, but nothing suggested the meeting would cause ripples on Monday.

"The text of the communiqué indicates that the standard U.S. line that what is good for the core of the world economy is good for all seems to have won out," said Huw McKay, a senior economist at Westpac, noting there was nothing that could be taken as "inflammatory" about recent volatility in markets.


YELLEN MINDFUL ON TAPERING

There was a nod to concerns by emerging nations that the Federal Reserve consider the impact of its policy tapering, which has led to bouts of capital flight from some of the more vulnerable markets.

"All our central banks maintain their commitment that monetary policy settings will continue to be carefully calibrated and clearly communicated, in the context of ongoing exchange of information and being mindful of impacts on the global economy," the communiqué read.

There was never much expectation the Fed would consider actually slowing the pace of tapering, but its emerging peers had at least hoped for more cooperation on policy.

Hockey said there had been honest discussions among members on the impact of tapering and that newly installed Fed Chair Janet Yellen was "hugely impressive" when dealing with them.

The G20 also stated that it "deeply regrets" that progress on giving emerging nations more say in the International Monetary Fund had stalled.

Major emerging powers including India, China, Brazil and Russia, have long lobbied for increased voting power in the IMF to reflect their growing share of the world economy, but the changes agreed in 2010 have been blocked by the U.S. Congress.

The G20 urged the United States to ratify the reforms before the next meeting of policy makers in April.

The group is also progressing with plans to "make sure multinational companies pay their fair share," said U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

Big budget deficits and revelations that companies such as Apple and Google use structures that lawmakers have labeled "contrived" to avoid billions of dollars in taxes, have led to growing calls to close corporate tax loopholes. The companies say they follow the existing tax rules.

Narrow-reef precious metals mining '@a crossroads' - MW/CMR - Feb 21, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/narrow-reef-precious-metals-min…








"Mechanical engineer Rod Pickering spent 20 years at the Chamber of Mines Research Organisation (Comro) running the stoping technology laboratory, the part of the now-defunct Comro that focused on hard rock, narrow-reef mining.

After leaving Comro in 1996, he spent another 18 years running his own business and again focused on the adoption of better mining methods in that narrow-reef space.

Now, as chairperson of the Centre for Mechanised Mining Systems steering committee, Pickering’s message is crystal clear: South Africa’s narrow-reef mining has to move to the next level, or the country will end up with closed mines on its hands.

The function of the ten-year-old Centre for Mechanised Mining Systems, located at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), is to identify appropriate technology applications, understand the people factors and adopt a systems approach to mining mechanisation and automation in some of the country’s deepest, darkest and most dangerous precious metals operations.

The latest breakthrough is a combination of mechanised equipment and selected blast mining (SBM), which provides the best of both worlds.

Pickering’s comments dovetail with those of veteran research commentator Dr R E (Robbie) Robinson, who has called for the introduction of SBM in South Africa’s narrow-reef stopes as a way of boosting the struggling sector.

The mechanisation introduces efficiency and eliminates the need for people in the vulnerable areas and SBM eliminates dilution and boosts metal recovery.

Mechanised mining methods have gone on apace outside of the hard rock, narrow-reef scenario.

Opencast mining, room-and-pillar mining and block-cave mining have, the world over, all mechanised successfully, leaving South Africa’s generally tabular-orebodied mines with an urgent need for a higher productivity solution.

Gold has been a serious laggard, as the deciding factor when it comes to room-and-pillar mining, which is what most practitioners have adopted, is the angle of the dip being not more than 100, whereas it is a substantially steeper 230 in many West Wits and Carletonville gold mines.

In chrome and platinum mining, where the dip is generally not more than 100, 30-million tons a year are being mined using mechanised low-profile room-and-pillar mining method in narrow-reef orebodies.

Original-equipment manufacturers (OEM) have come to the low-profile party and the number of pieces of equipment acquired by mining companies has justified the OEM investment into equipment designed for narrow stopes.

However, the shortage of artisans to maintain the equipment does present difficulties.

“We’ve had a shortage of those kinds of hands-on skills for many years,” Pickering tells Mining Weekly Online.

To overcome the shortage, companies like Sandvik have established major apprenticeship training programmes.

There is also a shortage of management with an understanding of this mechanised method of mining and most graduates are being skilled up to do conventional mining.

To remedy that, the Centre for Mechanised Mining at Wits has put considerable effort into course development on trackless mechanised mining, rock cutting and materials handling, and the university itself now has an MSc Honours degree in mechanised mining.

The most recent course on trackless mechanised mining attracted 40 people, an indication that the industry is recognising the shortfall and that the university has something to offer.

The enrolment of particularly black students into mining has been substantial in recent years.

However, because of the lack of mining uptake by students in the 1980s and 1990s, there is a middle-management gap and a shortage of mentoring, which the centre is also addressing.


COMRO’S DEMISE

An opportunity to introduce mechanised mining far earlier was probably lost as a result of the closure of Comro.

Even AngloGold Ashanti’s extremely promising effort at raise boring the reef goes back to 1974.

“It’s invariably not about new technology but about technology which is available and which can be adapted,” Pickering adds.

The centre has a systems approach and deals with the introduction of mechanisation and SBM holistically, to come up with answers that suit particular needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

“You fix one thing and if you're not careful, you get unintended consequences and find a bunch of other issues coming out of it,” Pickering has found from long experience.

The centre is also engaging in research and a number of PhD and MSc students are registered through the centre to do things that will add value.


SELECTED BLAST MINING

Pickering is engaged in a project involving the mining of a 400-mm-thick reef using mechanisation with SBM.

The waste material is being blasted into the back of the stope, where it is being used as backfill.

Long holes are being drilled into the footwall of the reef, waste material that SBM is blasting into the back of the stope is being used as backfill, and the precious reef is being cleaned out with a small dozer, similar to those used in underground platinum mines.

Pickering reports that Dr Immo Bock has been deploying the rock-breaking system for many years, but without the benefit of mechanisation.

“He’s been doing it with hand drilling and he’s had a lot of success with it, but we’re now taking it a step further and saying we want to do it as a fully mechanised process.

“So we develop two drifts on strike and then we do long-hole drilling between the two. We blast the waste material into the back area and the density of that fill is going to be more than two.

“So it’s going to be a very dense fill. We pop up the footwall and we’re getting the benefit of not pulverising the rock, getting all the fines and not losing the gold,” Pickering explains.

Productivity is increased, creating scope to pay fewer personnel higher pay.

“Hard-rock, narrow-reef mining has to change. We cannot continue the way we are at the moment. It’s absolutely unacceptable. We’re going to end up by having none of these conventional mines left because there is no way with the current wage demands, and I’m not being negative about them, that the economics can stack up,” Pickering warns.

The current method of blasting scatters the finely divided gold and platinum ore far and wide and lowers the rate of precious-metals recovery significantly. SBM shock fractures the rock instead of losing significant amounts of it in high-energy explosions.

“It’s not as if we are going to pull some magic bunny out of a hat and suddenly say we can go in there and do laser rock cutting,” Pickering says, adding that long-hole drilling is a tried and tested technology and that modern blast initiation systems are impressive.

The solution lies in packaging known technologies in a manner that cuts costs and enhances safety.

Far-improved tempos of production result and the days of being pleased to mine 6 m a day in a 30 m panel can be left in the dust of the new approach.


ANGLE OF DIP NO LONGER MATTERS

The driving of two development ends on strike and the use of SBM renders the angle of the dip of the reef irrelevant, and known mechanisation technology used the world over in narrow-vein greenstone belts can be adapted to suit South African conditions.

The tall, slim narrow-vein machines are redesigned as low, wide narrow-reef machines.

“Just think about narrow-vein gold mining, which takes place in greenstone belts the world over. There are probably more narrow-vein mines than any other and typically they put in development drives on the reef and do long-hole drilling between the two to enable rock to be broken and taken out.

“We’re really talking the same methodology but just applying it into a different environment. The functionality of the machine is the same.

“When the first low profile machine was put underground, it had the same wheel motors, power packs, boom, feed and drifter but we just packaged it differently,” Pickering recalls.


CONVENTIONAL TO MECHANISED

In the 1980s, the Randfontein Estates Gold Mine, under Hugh Scott-Russell, was converted from a conventional mine into a mechanised one.

While conventional mining involves off-reef footwall development ahead of on-reef development, paying on reef takes place from the outset with mechanised mining – and Scott-Russell proved that it does not have to wait for a new mine but can be introduced in existing mines.

“You can do it with an existing mine but you’ve got to have a plan and you must understand the orebody, the mining method and the metallurgy,” he says.

With the back blasting that SBM offers, low-profile 1.8 m drill rigs, load haul dumpers or dumpers suffice and ultra-low profile machines are unnecessary.

The fully remotely controlled Austrian-made cutting machines are 1.2 m high.

“With the kind of fibre-optic links and the Internet connectivity now available, you can operate the machine remotely from Austria.

“With SBM, you can tram narrow and mine wide because you are stuffing all the wide into the back area. You can actually have low profile equipment of 1.8 m operating, and you can still mine a narrow orebody,” Pickering adds.

The drive for mechanisation is generic throughout commodities and has arisen on the back of the need for more safety and productivity than conventional mining can offer.

The thousands of people being sent underground every day are now examining the risk-to-reward ratio more intensely and demanding the greater reward that machine-mediated productivity can provide.

Consulting engineers performing feasibility studies on new projects are recommending mechanisation wherever possible.


JOB SECURITY AND SKILLS

A common issue that is raised when discussing automation and mechanisation in industry is job losses for those who used to perform the job manually.

However, rather than people losing jobs, they will be upskilled and make higher wages more justifiable.
Working conditions will also be improved as machines are deployed do the ‘dirty work’.

“The growth of mechanised mining in Africa, in line with global trends, is creating many more job opportunities for artisans, who are needed to support equipment in the field.

President Jacob Zuma announced the provision of ten more further education and training facilities and OEMs have set up many training courses.


CAPITAL COSTS VS OPERATIONAL COSTS

While mechanisation is capital intensive, there is payback over time, and greater power or fuel use is mitigated by greater efficiency and needs to take into account the power consumed by conventional mining inputs, including compressed air for drills, lighting and ventilation.

Low-profile rigs can drill holes in far less time than people using hand-held drills.

When Sandvik’s AutoMine system was launched in 2000, it was said to hold significant cost and safety implications for large-scale underground mining.

Since then, AngloGold Ashanti has fast-tracked the development of reef-boring technology that bores the reef and extracts “all the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”.

No gold is left behind because of the elimination of the need for pillars as a result of immediate backfilling.

In the absence of drilling and blasting, there is no seismic shake-up.

Pictures have shown a 30-m-long hole at a 27° dip taking out gold reef alone, which should put paid to mine call factor issues.

Steps are now being advanced to get the process to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The new technology opens up unmined shaft pillars and ultra-deep mining.

AngloGold Ashanti’s South African gold reserves will double with its introduction but if it is not introduced, labour levels will fall. "

Granular: Bringing farms into the modern software world; "Introducing Granular, a startup bringing a new class of farming software to farmers" - GO - Feb 20, 2014

- K. Fehrenbacher -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/20/granular-bringing-farms-into-th…
www.agweb.com/article/agweb_exclusive_triple_threat_farm_sof…

"Imagine managing a sprawling 50-square-mile farm, 30 roaming employees and a hectic and fluctuating growing season using Excel, Quickbooks and two-way radios. That’s how many of the top 30,000 to 40,000 farms in the U.S. — accounting for a third of the country’s farm land — still operate. But San Francisco-based startup Granular, which emerged on Thursday, has started trialling new software for farmers that offers the modern smartphone apps, cloud-based services and collaboration tools that many other industries have come to rely on as the backbone of their operations.

Granular launched out of the split of another startup, Solum, which was founded in 2009 with early backing from Khosla Ventures and had built up a business around onsite soil analysis. Farms have been using Solum’s data tech to test soil onsite and tightly manage and customize their fertilizer use. But as a young startup in the Bay Area, the company had a tough time convincing farmers in the middle of the U.S. to use an entirely new type of data science tool, and last year the company started looking for a partner to ramp that up.




That partner turned out to be ag giant Monsanto. On Thursday Monsanto announced that it plans to acquire the soil data business, which made up about half the company, from Solum. Monsanto will be folding the soil data business into the data team it acquired from Climate Corp last year and will be able to get the soil data tech the reach it needs.

The other half of the company, which has been developing the farming software tools over the last year, is being renamed Granula. To kick off the new company, Granular raised a Series A round of $4.2 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla Ventures and Google Ventures. Khosla Ventures and Google Ventures were also backers of Climate Corp.




Granular is now testing its software with seven Midwestern farmers who also helped the company design the software. The farmers will be trialling it for the Spring growing season. If all goes well, Granular will then launch the software commercially, Granular CEO Sid Gorham told me. (Gorham was previously a founding member of restaurant software company OpenTable.)

The farming business in the U.S. is changing as smaller farmers sell land and businesses to a smaller group of large farms. This group of 30,000 to 40,000 family-owned large farm businesses is also facing fluctuating growing seasons due to the changing climate and extreme weather, and is looking to make its farming processes as high-tech and efficient as possible.

Gorham tells me that he’s excited to help farmers produce food with the lowest environmental footprint possible, using mobile apps, the cloud and real-time collaboration to make farming more efficient. As the world’s population grows to 9 billion by 2050, farmers will have to produce more food using fewwer resources, and IT is just one way they’re going to do it. "

World’s oldest rocks found, in Australia, a 4.400.000.000 year old zircon crystal - MA/NGS/SMH - Feb 24, 2014

www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/world-s-oldest-rocks-found-i…
www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/gem-found-on-australian-s…

" The world’s oldest rock, a 4.4 billion year old zircon crystal, has been uncovered in Western Australia’s Jack Hills region.

According to Nature Geoscience, this new discovery has demonstrated that the Earth’s crust formed soon after our plant formed, with the zircon crystal being a remnant of this, the SMH reports.

The rocks were uncovered in the Narryer Gniess Terrane region

Prior to this discovery the oldest rocks uncovered were thought to be between 3.8 and 4.28 billion years old, and were found in the Nuvvuagittuq greenstone belt, in Canada.

This new discovery has also shown, due to the zircon’s oxygen isotopic composition, that there was already water on the surface of the Earth at this time,

The Earth is believed the have formed only 4.5 billion years ago, and these rocks have shown that water could have existed on the earth’s surface within 150 million years of it originally forming.

The oldest rock ever dated was a non-terrestrial meteorite, which is believed to be 4.56 billion years old. "

Asalus Medical Instruments/Fusion IP Plc - awarded CE mark for laparoscopic surgery invention, a " "revolutionary" new technology, that clears surgical smoke produced during laparoscopic surgery" - Jan 24, 2014
http://asalus.com/asalus-medical-instruments-awarded-ce-mark…
www.fusionip.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Asalus-Brochur…

"Asalus Medical Instruments, the company established to commercialise the inventions of the Welsh Institute of Minimal Access Therapy (WIMAT), has been awarded the CE mark for UltravisionTM.

Ultravision is the first product to be launched by the Cardiff University spin-out and is a revolutionary new technology that clears surgical smoke produced during laparoscopic surgery.

The innovative new system rapidly clears the operative visual field of surgical smoke and simultaneously prevents its release into the operating theatre. This addresses a significant problem during laparoscopic surgery for both surgeons and nurses.

The system is based on a proven industrial technology that is a highly effective means of removing airborne particulates from the atmosphere. Ultravision was first conceived by Dr Neil Warren, a specialist at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery training. Dr Warren is a founding director of WIMAT and Asalus’ Chief Scientific Officer.

Dr Warren said: “Surgical smoke is a significant issue during laparoscopic surgery. Smoke rapidly builds up in the abdominal cavity, severely impairing the quality of the visual field and slowing down the procedure. The subsequent release of surgical smoke into the operating theatre is also unpleasant for the surgical team and there is a potential risk that chronic exposure may have long-term health implications.

“We have developed Ultravision because we know that the current solutions used in surgery are largely ineffective in meeting the needs of the surgical team. Ultravision silently, effortlessly and unobtrusively clears the visual field of surgical smoke and prevents its release in to the operating theatre to allow best practise in laparoscopic surgery.”

Securing the CE mark is a significant milestone for Asalus, allowing it to appoint distributors and launch Ultravision in the EU over coming months.
With approximately six million laparoscopic procedures performed annually worldwide, the award of the CE mark allows hospitals to use the system on patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the European Union member states.

In parallel to being awarded the CE for Ultravision, the Company has also been awarded ISO13485 and ISO9001 quality management certification. This allows the Company to further develop Ultravision for other minimal access surgery applications and establish a product pipeline.

Dominic Griffiths, Managing Director of Asalus, said: “This is a significant achievement in the evolution of Ultravision and is crucial to our launch plans. We have already received overwhelming interest in Ultravision from both the surgical community and global distributors and we’re excited about bringing Ultravision to market.

“This is the first of several innovative devices we hope to launch to improve the safety and efficiency of laparoscopic surgery. Our vision is to become a world leader in the development of new devices for advanced minimal access surgery, working with leading surgeons to identify and resolve issues commonly experienced when performing complex surgical procedures. Addressing these issues will make procedures easier and faster for the surgical team, safer for the patient, and more cost-effective for the healthcare provider.” "

Foreword

The global economy is undergoing a tectonic shift, as the demand for energy moves from developed to emerging markets, a growing population and a burgeoning middle class continues to deplete already strained natural resources, and climate change creates superstorms, megadroughts and wildfires that impede business and cost billions in damages. These are among the most important driving forces behind the increasing demand for greater efficiency, less waste and ‘cleaner’ inputs across the entire global economy.

These market forces have led to an inflection point for cleantech and are now pushing it into the economic mainstream. Cleantech has had growing pains and technology failures, but there have also been successes and lessons learned. This volatility, common in new markets, has ultimately strengthened many of the companies described in this report. They have built more resilient management teams and more sustainable business models that are now ready to fulfill the market demands of the 21st century, and
beyond.

Historically, investors’ perception of cleantech was limited to clean energy. However, growing investments in clean infrastructure, technology and services are being made across all sectors of the economy, including storage, efficiency, water, clean industry, transportation and more.

This report is intended to be a framework to help investors understand the vast opportunities that currently exist to deploy capital into these growing markets that are responding to unprecedented economic drivers. The market trends and companies discussed build efficient products, that provide more output for less, harness the power of information and modern engineering and tap the infinite power of the wind and sun. They do this while reducing the growing systemic risk of generating energy with diminishing and polluting commodities, the extraction of which is increasingly difficult and costly. Cleantech investments also have the potential to have a positive impact on people in emerging markets, provide jobs in cleaner, safer industries and expand sustainable access to energy.

We encourage you to use this report, as a starting point to enable your portfolio to take advantage of these growing opportunities and to build a more susta inable economywhile providing strong risk adjusted returns for long-term growth.

Now is the time to go long on the future.

Yuan takes biggest weekly decline, in three years - CER/WSJ - Feb 24, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65289

"China's renminbi fell against the US dollar on Friday, taking its biggest weekly dive in more than three years, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Speculation that the central bank is seeking to slow gains in the currency and cut down on heavy inflows from abroad provoked a sharp swing in the value of the yuan traded offshore, of about 0.5% to 6.0914 against the dollar for the week. Traders and analysts said they were surprised by the central bank's recent shift to cooling the yuan's gains. The currency has risen 33% since it was revalued in 2005. "

Nanologix Inc. Sets New Standard for Extended Shelf Life of Petri-Plates, Shatters Existing Standards; Company has been informed that ongoing tests by the world’s largest private Research +Development corporation have shown NanoLogix Tryptic Soy Agar(TSA) plates packed in exclusive, patented FlatPack® packaging for 19 months performing as well as one-week old competitor’s plates. With this milestone, NanoLogix petri plate shelf life has reached nearly 10 times the competition’s room temperature shelf life of slightly over 2 months and 5 times the competition’s normal cold-storage shelf life. Prior to this study, the standard for shelf life of TSA petri plates was for cold storage only, for a period of 3-1/2 months. In an additional milestone reached in internal Company cold storage tests, NanoLogix TSA petri plates are approaching three years on the shelf, with no loss of viability from when 1st manufactured; due to their traditional short shelf lives, agar-filled petri plates have historically been prepared in locations in the states, regions, or countries in which the users are located. The long shelf life of NanoLogix products +the FlatPack’s virtual elimination of breakage in transit, regardless of distance shipped, are "producing a paradigm shift on the part of those who are the product end users". Customers "can now take delivery of NanoLogix products many thousands of miles distant from the production location, +be assured that they have a product that significantly outlasts others made onsite, locally, or regionally."

The "three critical factors wearable devices need, to succeed"; Wearables may be the tech du jour, but the next generation of devices +services needs to focus more on keeping users engaged in the long-term. "These three factors, based on behavioral science, can help them do just that ..." - GO/EP/MIT - Feb 22, 2014

- M. Davies -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/22/the-three-critical-factors-wear…

"At least 10 new wearable devices were introduced at CES in January, from makers such as Sony, Pebble, Meta, LG, Garmin, Razer and more. Yet despite the enthusiasm in the market, the dirty secret of wearables remains: almost all of the current generation of products fail to drive long-term, sustained engagement and behavior change.

Endeavour Partners’ research recently found that while one in 10 US consumers over the age of 18 now owns a modern activity tracker, one-third of US consumers who have owned a wearable product stopped using it within six months, and more than half of US consumers who owned an activity tracker no longer use it. Consumers are buying them and trying them, but rarely end up relying on them.


Key challenge of wearables: Long-term engagement and behavior change

Sustained engagement is the key challenge for companies developing wearable devices or complementary services. A surprising percentage of devices fail to achieve even short-term engagement because they suffer from one or more fatal user experience flaws: they break, they’re a pain to sync with a smartphone, the battery doesn’t last long enough, they’re ugly and uncomfortable. Any one of these flaws is enough to turn off a user; more than one often lands these devices in a desk drawer or, even worse, the trash. Unfortunately many of the apps, portals and other services that use data from wearables suffer from similar UX problems.

Even if products and services avoid these traps and provide very powerful functionality, they will end up failing in the market if they fail to have a meaningful impact on users’ behaviors and habits. This dependence on behavior change means that traditional product design criteria are only part of the key to developing successful wearable products and services.


Three factors for long-term engagement

Human behavior is complex , but behavioral science offers three factors that can lead to sustained engagement over the long term.

1. Habit formation. Sustained engagement depends on a device or service’s ability to help the user form and stick with new habits. Wearable devices have the potential, all too often unrealized, to make the process of habit formation more effective and efficient than ever before. The best engagement strategies for wearables move beyond just presenting data (steps, calories, stairs) and directly address the elements of the habit loop (cue, routine, reward), triggering the deep-seated psychological sequences that lead to the establishment of new habits.

For example, as users of the Basis Health Tracker navigate the initial goal-setting process, the device sets up a sequence of key habit formation elements — cues, routines and rewards. Users can unlock the ability to add new habits by acquiring points (reward) after completing a previous goal related to successfully establishing a habit. From here, daily cues, routines and rewards are continuously sequenced to develop habits for better health.

2. Social motivation. To sustain engagement beyond the initial habit formation, a device or service must be able to motivate users effectively. Social connections are a particularly powerful source of motivation that can be leveraged in many creative ways. In addition to using social connections to influence behavior, social media and networking sites can be exploited to alter habits for positive outcomes.

Three key social mechanisms support motivation and broader goal attainment. First, when users are able to share or compete for goals, they are more committed to achieving those goals. Second, social cognitive theory suggests that we learn not just from our own experiences, but also vicariously from those around us. Third, social factors are huge determinants in our overall health. Connecting socially with others is as basic a need as food, water and shelter. The extent to which wearables facilitate social connections has a broad secondary effect on users’ health and wellness.

The Nike+Fuelband SE platform motivates users by effectively leveraging social connections. It encourages users to challenge friends from Facebook and their contact list who also use the Nike+ platform. The FuelBand’s Nike+ software allows users to separate friends into specific lists and groups, so a user can compare his activity with other Fuelband or Nike+ users and separate them into microcommunities, say, based on similar pace for running.

3. Goal reinforcement. To achieve sustained engagement, a user also needs to experience a feeling of progress toward defined goals. Research shows that achieving several smaller goals provides the positive momentum necessary for achieving bigger goals. Wearable products and services that help people experience continuous progress can do so, for example, through real-time updates that are powered by big data and insights. Facilitating personal progress in this way leads to improved health, user satisfaction and long-term sustained engagement. Fitbit Force uses haptic buzzes and text-message push notifications to constantly but gently reinforce progress and remind users that they need to do something in order to achieve their established goals.


The Future of Wearables

“There remains a great deal of potential for the wearables industry to embrace the complex science of behavior change and habit formation,” said Daniel McCaffrey, behavioral scientist and product manager of SyncStrength, in a recent white paper on wearables. “Advancements including real-time biofeedback and contextual data will change how technology impacts consumers’ health-related attitudes, beliefs and behaviors even further.”

A deeper understanding of habit formation, social motivation and goal reinforcement will allow companies to create more effective and successful devices and services to promote health and wellness. Looking forward to seeing the wearables at CES 2015!


How Do Current Wearables Stack Up

Endeavour Partners assessed eight wearables currently on the market based on 12 key criteria. This graph reveals that while some companies are clearly thinking about their products holistically, some are missing the mark.

From an economic perspective waste-to-energy projects " "generally" have "strong project returns in populous Areas", as the projects receive revenues from tipping fees, to take the waste +then also receive revenues from the sale of energy"; facility is "expected" to start commissioning in the 1st half of ´14 +"will be the world's largest plasma gasification facility, by a "significant" margin" - Nov 8, 2013

The newly designed torches have "successfully undergone extended life performance testing +the 1st set of Marc 4.5 torches have been delivered, in support of a large scale facility in Northeast England." In addition to supporting Westinghouse Plasma waste-to-energy facilities, the Company " "believes" that newly designed torch satisfies a market demand for an efficient +clean heat source for metallurgical recycling, blast-furnaces, foundry cupola's, iron making +other industries using coal, coke, or higher cost fuels" - Jan 16, 2014

The recent Grand Opening of the Facility was well attended by local media, environmental groups, interested incineration +other industrial companies, as well as government officials; Dean Mao: "GTS has successfully commissioned the plasma torch systems with the support of Alter NRG. The success of the torch commissioning was "a very important, key step in the success of the project." The project "has been well received in China +was highlighted @the World Environmental Protection Exposition, held in Beijing in Jul `13." Since that event the project "has generated significant interest in China +"we "believe" the project "will" establish a new way for solid waste treatment in China" "; In China +many other countries, incinerator ash is "considered a hazardous waste which is a growing, expensive problem that requires special treatment which can cost "up to" $USD300/tonne." The Westinghouse Plasma Technology "is able to treat the ash, turning the majority of it into a benign glass-like slag that can be used in other industries, such as construction."

www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/01/28/green-auto…


Green Automotive's e-Patriot Electric Shuttle Bus "Benefits from 'Attractive Government Incentives' "; the electric shuttle bus "does not only allow a massive reduction in CO2 levels, but it also helps businesses and local authorities to work in a more cost efficient way." In addition to the "potential" savings in fuel costs(electricity is on average 80 % less than the cost of diesel/mile travelled), electric buses "benefit from a number of federal +state-based financial incentives that allow their owners to reduce significantly the Total Cost of Ownership(TCO)." Several US states "provide considerable funding for projects that reduce air pollution from on- +off-road vehicles, as well as tax incentives +have put in place laws +regulations to encourage the deployment of EVs." Here are 'just a few examples': in California the “Air Quality Improvement Program(AQIP) Hybrid +Zero-Emission Truck +Bus Voucher Incentive Project(HVIP)” provides vouchers to help California fleets purchase zero-emission trucks +buses.

Natural disaster cost doubles in China, to $69.000.000.000 in `13 - CER/R - Feb 25, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65298

"Natural disasters in China caused damage valued at US$69 billion (RMB421 billion) in 2013, Reuters reported, citing official data released on Monday.

The total was double that of the previous year. China has always been prone to natural disasters but a changing climate is causing more extreme weather, which hits food production, threatens scarce water resources and damages energy security, according to the government. "In recent years, China has seen a combination of floods and droughts simultaneously, with the rain belt moving north past the Yangtze River," said Zhu Congwen, a researcher with the China Academy of Meteorological Sciences.

Indonesian copper smelters @risk , as mining policy mis fires - MW/R, JAKARTA - Feb 24, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/indonesian-copper-smelters-at-r…

"Indonesian policies to force miners to process raw materials at home are misfiring, as disputes over the new rules disrupt plans to invest nearly $4-billion in copper smelters to cater for miners such as Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono imposed a controversial mining law on January 12, but the rules have left the mining sector in turmoil. As well as a ban on unprocessed ore shipments, a last-minute export tax on concentrates was also brought in.

The tax ratchets up sharply before an outright export ban from 2017 and Freeport and Newmont Mining Corp, which produce 97% of Indonesia's copper, have halted all exports and are locked in talks with the government because they say the tax breaches their contracts.

This has deepened uncertainty on plans to construct three copper smelters, since the firms building them say they need firm supply guarantees from Freeport and Newmont to put in place financing so they can proceed. Miners may have to slash output if there is not enough refining capacity once the export ban takes effect in 2017.

The impasse shows how a policy aimed at supporting higher value economic activity has not only stopped mineral exports but risks undermining the type of investment it was supposed to promote.

"There is going to be another train wreck because there isn't enough time to get approvals and build smelters before the new 2017 deadline," said Julian Hill, a Jakarta-based mining advisor at Deloitte Konsultan Indonesia. "The mining ministry is beginning to realize that they have created one hell of a mess and are looking for ways out of it."

Before the ban, Indonesia was the world's biggest exporter of nickel ore. It is also a major supplier of refined tin, thermal coal and copper.

If no new smelters are built by 2017, Freeport and Newmont face curbs on their operations since Indonesia's lone copper smelter, PT Smelting, only has a concentrate capacity of about 660 000 t. Concentrates are an intermediate product between ore and metal, enriched with minerals as a result of processing.

Freeport has said if it could only send shipments to PT Smelting it would have to cut output at its huge Grasberg mine by 60% and layoff thousands of employees.


SUPPLY GUARANTEES

Privately owned PT Indovasi Mineral Indonesia, PT Nusantara Smelting and PT Indosmelt say they are ready to start work on the construction of three separate copper smelters that have the backing of Indonesia's industry ministry.

Freeport and Newmont have signed either conditional sales purchase agreements or MoUs with the three projects, but the smelter firms say a firmer commitment on volumes and prices of concentrate is needed.

"Once we have a definite contract with Freeport, then we will immediately start," said Taufik Sastrawinata, president director at PT Indovasi Mineral Indonesia, adding the project had equity from partners but needed finance deals.

With the proposed smelters due to take between three and five years to build and needing additional permits, there is little chance of them being ready by 2017 when exports of concentrates are due to stop completely.

For new smelters to be feasible, supply has to be guaranteed from Freeport, which would make up about 70% to 90% of supplies needed to feed the projects.

Isa Riyadhi, a director at PT Indovasi, said after having regular contact with Freeport it had not been able to communicate about its smelter project in the last month.

"For independent smelters like us, we need special (supply) terms for the first 10 years, otherwise no smelter will be built," he said.

The price is vital, since treatment and refining charges are expected to be higher those facing some rival copper smelters outside of Indonesia.

Freeport and Newmont did not respond to phone calls and emails seeking comment.

Sukhyar, director general of coal mines and minerals at the energy and mines ministry, said the 2017 export ban would stay in place, but the government would monitor the situation.


FINANCIAL INCENTIVES

The three new smelters would increase Indonesia's concentrate capacity five-fold to about 3.3-million tonnes and are vital given the prospect of production of copper in concentrate soaring about 40 percent over the next two years, according to an International Copper Study Group estimate.

PT Indosmelt, which is planning a smelter in South Sulawesi, is targeting an initial public offering by the end of 2015 to raise about $500-million, but wants financial incentives from the government to encourage investment.

The backers at the three smelter projects include project financing, international mining firms and Indonesian tycoons, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nusantara Smelting Corporation, which is planning a $1.2-billion project in East Java, said it needs a firm quantity supply commitment from Freeport by the end of the year.

"It is chicken and egg. We want to spend money if we have certainty," said Juangga Mangasi, director at Nusantara Smelting Corporation. "

"Rewritable Paper +Water Ink "Could" Cut Paper Waste, Scientists Report" - CT/YE360/FC/NC - Feb 24, 2014

"A new type of rewritable paper that uses water as ink could slash the amount of paper that’s wasted daily, researchers say.

The paper contains hydrochromic dyes — chemicals that change color when wet — and a single page can be reused dozens of times, the scientists report in Nature Communications.

Other types of rewritable papers have been developed, but they are all more expensive and energy-intensive to produce, and some versions use inks that pose environmental and safety hazards. The new system costs less than 1 percent of standard inkjet printing, the researchers estimate, primarily because ink cartridges are expensive.

The researchers found they could refill cartridges with water and use them, along with the rewritable paper, in typical desktop printers. Print on the rewritable paper is only visible for about 22 hours, or as long as it takes the paper to dry completely. The scientists note that, while 90 percent of business information is retained on paper, most printed documents are read only once before being discarded. "

Zitat von Popeye82: NanoLogix - In the World Health Organization's 'Global Tuberculosis Report 2013', on page 87, NanoLogix' BNP Middlebrook test has been mentioned as a "culture based technology in early development". The BNP Middlebrook provided evidence of live TB growth in 5 days in tests by the world's largest private Research +Development corporation. Tests for screening for TB in blood @the same facility using NanoLogix BNF technology provided positive results in roughly 1-1/2 hours. Both test results are important in the battle against TB, with standard sputum culture results taking roughly three weeks +rapid blood screening tests, critical in the diagnosis of pediatric TB, as children do not produce sputum, taking many hours - Dec 15, 2013

These times "are in sharp contrast with the 3-4 months of shelf life available with competitor’s products +"offer a significant economic advantage to customers, with limited or no cold storage capacity, or those with dynamic testing +project schedules." " NanoLogix recently added 13 additional product variants that have been in demand by its customers +has improved its ordering procedure, "enabling a “mix +match” capability for ordering, that allows customers to order "up to" ten different Flatpack detection products, in one single carton" - Dec 4, 2013

Nanologix Inc. Sets New Standard for Extended Shelf Life of Petri-Plates, Shatters Existing Standards; Company has been informed that ongoing tests by the world’s largest private Research +Development corporation have shown NanoLogix Tryptic Soy Agar(TSA) plates packed in exclusive, patented FlatPack® packaging for 19 months performing as well as one-week old competitor’s plates. With this milestone, NanoLogix petri plate shelf life has reached nearly 10 times the competition’s room temperature shelf life of slightly over 2 months and 5 times the competition’s normal cold-storage shelf life. Prior to this study, the standard for shelf life of TSA petri plates was for cold storage only, for a period of 3-1/2 months. In an additional milestone reached in internal Company cold storage tests, NanoLogix TSA petri plates are approaching three years on the shelf, with no loss of viability from when 1st manufactured; due to their traditional short shelf lives, agar-filled petri plates have historically been prepared in locations in the states, regions, or countries in which the users are located. The long shelf life of NanoLogix products +the FlatPack’s virtual elimination of breakage in transit, regardless of distance shipped, are "producing a paradigm shift on the part of those who are the product end users". Customers "can now take delivery of NanoLogix products many thousands of miles distant from the production location, +be assured that they have a product that significantly outlasts others made onsite, locally, or regionally." A number of our FlatPack protected petri-based products can be stored @room temperature for months or more, a feature that is unique to NanoLogix products a+one that reduces energy requirements significantly on projects both large +small, with no need for cold storage equipment for our TSA: 19+ months(competition: 3-1/2 months), Nematode Growth Media(10+ months), +Chocolate Agar: 10+ months(competition 5 months). Our Middlebrook Agar petri plates for TB detection: 10+ months in cold storage,(competition:3 months). We expect these times to be extended, during the ongoing testing +hope that shelf life may be indefinite for some agars - Feb 24, 2014

"Triton Minerals Limited (ASX:TON) has located a substantial amount of graphitic mineralisation outcropping, with a strike length of approximately 3.75kms located within the Company’s Target 1 area at the Balama North project in Mozambique.

The work completed to date indicates that much of the graphite mineralisation in the AOI is under cover of alluvial soils. Further work will be required to test the depth of the cover and the Company aims to undertake this work in the next exploration program.

The graphite-rich rock is outcropping in a north easterly direction for approximately 3.75 kilometres before descending beneath cover.

The initial visual review of the outcrops shows potential medium and large flake graphite mineralisation. Preliminary visual comparisons suggest that the graphite mineralisation located on License 5966, show a number of similar characteristics to those found at the Syrah Resources Ltd’s Balama graphite deposits, which are located to the South West of this outcropping zone.

Upon the granting of the Balama North License the Company will be able to obtain relevant samples from the outcropping for testing, in order to establish the quality and grade of the graphite. "

Disappearance of large bitcoin exchange adds to virtual currency mistrust - CP/SH, TOKYO - Feb 26, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/business-news/2014/02/25/disappearan…

"The sudden disappearance of one of the largest bitcoin exchanges only adds to the mystery and mistrust surrounding the virtual currency, which was just beginning to gain legitimacy beyond the technology enthusiasts and adventurous investors who created it.

Prominent bitcoin supporters said the apparent collapse of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox exchange was an isolated case of mismanagement that will weed out ``bad actors.'' But the setback raised serious questions about bitcoin's tenuous status and even more tenuous future. At least one supporter said the blow could be fatal to bitcoin's quest for acceptance by the public.

A coalition of virtual currency companies said Mt. Gox went under after secretly racking up catastrophic losses. The exchange had imposed a ban on withdrawals earlier this month.

By Tuesday, its website returned only a blank page. The collapse followed the resignation Sunday of CEO Mark Karpeles from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, a group seeking wider use of the exotic currency.

Mt. Gox's origins are rooted in fantasy instead of finance. The service originally specialized in trading colorful cards featuring mythical wizards and derives its name from a game. The initials stand for, ``Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange.''

San Francisco-based wallet service Coinbase and Chinese exchange BTC China sought to shore up confidence in the currency by saying the Mt. Gox's situation was isolated and the result of abusing users' trust. They offered no details.

``As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out, and that is what we are seeing today,'' the statement said.

Since its creation in 2009, bitcoin has become popular among tech enthusiasts, libertarians and risk-seeking investors because it allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. Criminals like bitcoin for the same reasons.

For various technical reasons, it's hard to know just how many people worldwide own bitcoins, but the currency attracted outsize media attention and the fascination of millions as an increasing number of large retailers such as Overstock.com began to accept it.

Speculative investors have jumped into the bitcoin fray, too, sending the currency's value fluctuating wildly in recent months. In December, the value of a single bitcoin hit an all-time high of $1,200. In the aftermath of the Mt. Gox collapse Tuesday, one bitcoin stood at around $470.

Central banks across the globe have been hesitant to recognize bitcoin as a form of money, and Tuesday's vanishing act isn't helping.

Mt. Gox ``reminds us of the downside of decentralized, unregulated currencies,'' said Campbell Harvey, a professor at the Duke University Fuqua School of Business who specializes in financial markets and global risk management. ``There is no Federal Reserve or IMF to come to the rescue. There is no deposit insurance.''

However, Campbell said, Mt. Gox's disappearance ``doesn't mean the end of the road'' for bitcoin and other virtual currencies.

The collapse ``might represent the end of the 'wild west,' where anyone can set up shop and deal in crypto-currencies,'' he said. But ``increasingly sophisticated investors'' are funding serious ventures that will ``raise both quality and confidence.''

Peter Leeds, a publisher of newsletter focused on risky investments, doubts bitcoin will recover from the Mt. Gox collapse. He expects the currency to plunge below $300.

``It's more likely that someone getting involved in bitcoin at this point of the game is going to lose,'' Leed said. ``There are all sorts of problems inherent with bitcoin that are just now coming to light.''

Documents purportedly leaked from Mt. Gox lay out the scale of the problem. An 11-page ``crisis strategy draft'' published on the blog of entrepreneur and bitcoin enthusiast Ryan Selkis said that 740,000 bitcoins were missing from Mt. Gox. That represents roughly 6 per cent of the estimated 12 million bitcoins that have been created so far, translating into hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of losses, although figures are fuzzy given the currency's extreme volatility.

``At the risk of appearing hyperbolic, this could be the end of bitcoin, at least for most of the public,'' the draft said.

In a post to his blog, Selkis said that the document was handed to him by a ``reliable source'' and that several people close to the company had confirmed the figures. Reached by phone, he declined to comment further. The Japanese government has not announced any formal investigation.

The scandal may cost customers dearly.

At the Tokyo office tower housing Mt. Gox, bitcoin trader Kolin Burges said he had picketed the building since Feb. 14 after travelling from London in an effort to get back $320,000 he has tied up in bitcoins with Mt. Gox.

``I may have lost all of my money,'' said Burgess, next to placards asking if Mt. Gox is bankrupt. ``It hasn't shaken my trust in bitcoin, but it has shaken my trust in bitcoin exchanges.''

Mt. Gox CEO Karpeles did not immediately return several messages seeking comment. A security officer at the office tower said no one from Mt. Gox was in the building. Tibbane, an Internet company that Karpeles is CEO of, still has its name listed on the building's directory.

``I have no idea'' where they are, said Burges, the trader. ``I'm both annoyed and worried.''

Bitcoin's boosters say the currency's design makes it impossible to counterfeit and difficult to manipulate. But it has struggled to shake off its associations with criminality, particularly its role in powering the now-defunct online drug marketplace Silk Road. Only last month, another member of the Bitcoin Foundation, Vice Chairman Charlie Shrem, was arrested at New York's Kennedy Airport on charges of money laundering.

Authorities have been taking an increasingly hard look at bitcoin and related virtual currencies, including Litecoin, Namecoin, Ripple and countless others. Some countries, including Russia, have effectively banned the currency. In other jurisdictions, authorities are weighing whether to try to tame the marketplace through licenses or other mechanisms.

Even if Mt. Gox doesn't drag bitcoin down with it, there's fear that the exchange's demise will push financial regulators to take an even more skeptical stance.

``I think this is disastrous from a (regulatory) standpoint,'' Selkis said in a message posted to Twitter. ``The hammer will now come down haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.'' "

U.N. 'Seeks to Solve Growing Global E-Waste Problem', Some electronics can harm , people if they aren't discarded properly - USN/U.N. - Dec 16, 2013

- Allie Bidwell -
www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/12/16/un-seeks-to-solve-gr…

"In just five years, all of the world's refrigerators, televisions, cell phones, computers and electronic devices destined for disposal or recycling will grow by 33 percent, according to a study released by the United Nations Sunday.

The mountain of used electrical and electronic devices, known as "e-waste," is expected to grow from 48.9 million metric tons worldwide in 2012 to 65.4 million metric tons in 2017; the weight equivalent of 200 Empire State Buildings or 11 Great Pyramids of Giza, the study says.


"Although there is ample information about the negative environmental and health impacts of primitive e-waste recycling methods, the lack of comprehensive data has made it hard to grasp the full magnitude of the problem," said Ruediger Kuehr, executive secretary of the U.N.'s Solving the E-Waste Problem (StEP) Initiative, which conducted the study.

E-waste is harmful to the environment, the StEP Initiative notes on its website, because those products can contain toxic substances. When those electronic products are burned or put in a landfill, those toxic substances - such as mercury, cadmium and lead - can seep out.

The United States topped the list of the 184 countries analyzed for the total volume of e-waste generated each year, at 9.4 million tons in 2012; followed by China, with 7.2 million tons. By comparison, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency reported the U.S. generated 1.9 million to 2.2 million tons of e-waste in 2005.

The United States might have had such a higher volume, the report says, because there have been more electronic products put on the market in the past and therefore more are now ready to be retired. In 2012, for example, the United States put about 10 million tons of electrical and electronic equipment on the market, compared with about 1 million tons in Canada.

Additionally, the amount of e-waste generated per person in the United States was much higher than other countries.

In 2012, each person generated about 30,000 kilograms of e-waste in the United States, compared with 5.4 kilograms in China.

A separate study published in tandem with the U.N. report tracked the flow of electronic disposal and collection across borders.

That study, conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the U.S. National Center for Electronics Recycling, found cell phones accounted for the largest quantity of used electronics in the United States.

The study's authors recommend creating trade codes that can be used to track electronic products.

"We cannot possibly manage complex, transboundary e-waste flows until we have a better understanding of the quantities involved and the destinations," said Joel Clark, an MIT professor, in a statement. "This research is an important first step in that direction." "

SurePure's Photopurification Technology" Demonstrates Sustainable Benefits to the Brewing Industry", Through its Collaboration with SAB Miller, "one of the world's leading brewers"; Substantial Energy Savings of 82% Achieved Through Proprietary Brewing Process; collaboration between SABMiller +SurePure has yielded measurable energy, cost +throughput benefits via the application of the SurePure UV Photopurification technology, as an innovative process alternative for treatment of liquids in the brewing process. The Photopurification technology uses UV light energy as opposed to heat to prevent microbial spoilage; Further " "blue skies" collaboration between SABMiller and SurePure has resulted in the commercial production of a popular lager brand that incorporates UV technology in the brewhouse process, yielding product results with double the shelf life of conventionally brewed beer." This is a world 1st for the Brewer. Interesting work carried out on beer packaged in clear glass "suggests that costly filtration processes can be superseded, by the introduction of UV Photopurification"; Craig Groeneveld: "SurePure "are game-changers in brewing +can help win the race for the reduction in energy +water costs, as well as improvement in quality +throughput". The "global brewing implications are enormous , if SurePure finds the resources to exploit them" " - Aug 8, 2013

SurePure Announces Commercial Purification Deal with Global Wine Company Namaqua Wines, " world-renowned for the production +export of quality bag-in-box wines "; SurePure's technology will be employed to process Namaqua's grape juice concentrate, providing SurePure with an entry into the bulk wine market. "By employing SurePure's technology, winemakers can reduce or eliminate chemical preservatives that are added to their wine, guaranteeing the wine's microbiological integrity." SurePure +Namaqua are currently working on the optimal treatment for their larger volumes of finish product. A worldwide problem, that is becoming more prolific, is the infection of Zygosaccharomyces yeast +its ability to propagate regardless of what preservatives are used causing major spoilage problems in this industry. Furthermore, these yeasts cannot be removed in their entirety by ultra-filtration, "thus leaving SurePure as the only method of preventing an infection." This is achieved through its ability to cause irreparable damage to the micro- organism deeming it unable to replicate +thus preventing infection. Namaqua Wines "is minimalizing their risk of infection by treating their grape concentrate, as this is a common place for Zygosaccharomyces infection"; Len Knoetze: "This diverse +contrasting terroir has bred a sense of adventure +ongoing innovation. Namaqua Wines pioneers unique +customer driven product ranges, created to serve the needs of wine lovers worldwide. So our use of SurePure's innovative purification technology makes perfect sense - we can guarantee better quality wines, with great shelf life without sacrificing flavor, color or stability precisely the combination of quality +innovation that has typified our existence" - Aug 29, 2013

SurePure Announces Commercial Deal, with 'Major Liquid Egg Producer' - Nov 6, 2013
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2013/11/06/surepure-a…


SurePure Announces Launch of Premium "Sulphur Free" Wines by Winemaker Using SurePure Technology, Neil Patterson Wines(NPW) has launched a premium range of no sulphite added wines using SurePure's patented photopurification technology. NPW employs SurePure's photopurification technology to microbiologically purify wine using ultra violet light instead of having to add sulphur-compounds to stabilise the wine. This not only provides a 'greener' alternative to traditional preservative methods, but also ensures a less harmful alternative to traditional chemical intervention for the consumer. The range of wines, which will be available @speciality wine merchants +in select restaurants, includes both younger wines as well as older, more matured wines including a 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, a 2012 Chenin Blanc, a 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, +a 2009 Merlot all sourced from single vineyards in different terroirs that are suited to the cultivars +to the particular style of wines Patterson was seeking to craft; Mr. Patterson: "We are pleased to be entering into an agreement with SurePure "as I believe there is significant market demand for a premium range, that offers high quality sulphite free wines for discerning wine drinkers who are searching for the ideal unpreserved 'green' alternative" "; According to Mr. Patterson, the range has under 10 parts per million of sulphites, which are produced naturally during fermentation, compared to the average of 80 to 120ppm normally found in wines; Steve Miller: "The launch of the Neil Patterson Wine range "marks the 1st time a full range of premium wines has been specifically tailored using the SurePure technology." It is "exciting for SurePure because it shows how a talented winemaker can use the SurePure technology as part of his wine crafting skillset, to extract the very best out of each varietal +still deliver the benefits of extraordinarily low sulphite levels to the consumer." We "believe it has pushed new boundaries for the technology +its oenological applications +with both fresh young wines +older, more matured wines under the same brand." This launch "paves the way for broader acceptance +use of the technology in the wine industry" " - Dec 3, 2013

SurePure Announces Developments in Non-Thermal Processing of Potato Rinse Water; spokesperson: "Potato processing plants are amongst the most water-intensive in the world. Rinse water has proven particularly difficult to clean microbiologically, because its heavy starch load makes it impossible to use traditional thermal pasteurization techniques. In order to rinse potato products thoroughly, huge amounts of clean water have to be used +then dumped. This is both costly +environmentally unsound. Rinse water can carry quite significant microbiological loads. Salmonella, ecoli +other pathogens are also often present, as a result of soil or fertilizer residues. It is crucial to rinse well, but increasingly important to conserve water. The "non-thermal SurePure system offers a real 'breakthrough', to potato chip producers" " - Feb 26, 2014

DuPont "Leader Outlines Growth Strategy, for Agriculture +Nutrition +Health Segments", "New Whole-Farm EncircaSM service Offerings Unveiled" - SH, MIAMI - Feb 27, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/02/27/dupont-lea…
http://investors.dupont.com/phoenix.zhtml?p=irol-eventDetail…

"DuPont Executive Vice President James C. Borel outlined growth drivers across the seed, crop protection and nutrition and health businesses today at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2014 Global Agriculture Conference – highlighting the launch of a next generation decision services platform for U.S. farmers.

"Increasing global demand for more nutritious , safe and affordable food is driving growth at DuPont," said Borel. "We are focused on increasing our return on research and development through innovation; expanding our global reach; and strong execution in our Agriculture and Nutrition & Health segments."

One of DuPont's three strategic priorities in its plan to build a higher growth, higher value company is to extend its leadership in the science-driven segments of the agriculture-to-food value chains, and to leverage the linkages across these segments. In 2013, DuPont's Agriculture and Nutrition & Health segments comprised more than 40 percent of company sales and segment operating earnings.

"Our agriculture research pipeline, strong positions in global markets and today's launch of a new suite of whole-farm solutions continue to demonstrate our commitment to innovate and deliver valuable agriculture and food solutions," Borel said.


"Leading the Way, in Whole-Farm Decision Services"

Today, DuPont Pioneer, the advanced seed and genetics business of DuPont, launched EncircaSM services, a suite of whole-farm decision services to help improve productivity and profitability of grower operations. These tailored, brand-neutral offerings will be delivered through local EncircaSM Certified Services Agents who work directly with farmers to analyze and customize recommendations based on individual needs and priorities to make timely business decisions.

"The launch of EncircaSM services represents an increasingly important part of the Pioneer growth strategy," said Borel. "There is enormous potential for these services to help improve productivity for North America corn and soybean farmers and extend globally to a wide range of crops and markets. Our offerings put the customer's need for flexibility and convenience first, draw on the capabilities of industry-leading collaborators, and tie in one of the industry's largest teams of professional agricultural advisors."

EncircaSM View will be the first offering to launch under the EncircaSM services brand umbrella this March. Growers will have the option of signing up for a free mobile-enabled information platform that organizes crop observations and notes and provides access to Pioneer expert advisors; or opting for a premium, fee-based program which also includes market news and analysis, innovative grain trading capabilities and field specific weather forecasts.

DuPont Pioneer will release EnciraSM Yield later this year – a fee-based offering that will help growers effectively assess, plan and analyze critical inputs such as seed, nitrogen/fertility and water to improve placement and management.

In the next decade, EncircaSM services are estimated to deliver a peak revenue stream of more than $500 million annually for Pioneer. Additional services will be rolled out under the EncircaSM services brand in 2015 and beyond.


"Positioned for Growth, Across the Value Chain"

The Agriculture and Nutrition & Health segments are poised for continued growth – supported by strong global market positions today and innovative products and services. DuPont is using global science to deliver local solutions through customer-focused product and application development, elite genetics, biotech and native traits, novel chemistry and seed-applied technologies.

"DuPont has an important role to play in helping the world meet the challenge of feeding a growing population," said Borel. "As a leader in sustainable agricultural productivity, animal and human nutrition, and food protection solutions, we are focused on delivering superior value to growers and food companies while shaping global agricultural and food systems for all stakeholders."

Over the next five years, about half of the DuPont Agriculture segment growth is expected to occur outside of North America. The global seed pipeline released today reinforces an integrated approach to product development and highlights agricultural solutions through differential breeding, plant protection traits, corn agronomic traits, soybean output traits and hybridization systems. These solutions build on the recent product success of Optimum® AQUAmax™ corn hybrids and Optimum® AcreMax® corn products validated by last year's gain of more than one point in North America corn market share.

DuPont Crop Protection has a robust pipeline of novel insect, weed and disease control products to complement the success of Rynaxpyr® products, which exceeded $1 billion in sales in 2013. In addition to Rynaxypyr®, Cyazypyr™ and new fungicide products, the launch of new seed treatments in 2014 under the Lumigen™ Seed Sense brand is anticipated to contribute meaningfully to future growth.

DuPont Nutrition & Health is using science to deliver customized nutrition solutions to improve health and protect food. As the global population increases, becomes more urbanized and the middle class expands, DuPont is committed to science-based solutions to improve the nutritional value of food while preventing food waste in the value chain.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

E-Waste Systems, Inc. Signs Joint Venture Project With National Recovery Technologies(NRT), which is "highly recognized worldwide for innovative sorting technologies in recycling","to Develop 'State-of-the-Art Sorting Facility' ", EWSI "Technological Expertise Continues to Expand"; The project "is designed to develop a pilot electronic waste sorting facility, as add-on to an existing EWSI location. The facility will utilize 'state-of-the-art detection techniques', to identify materials containing rare earth metals, such as neodymium +dysprosium within the e-waste stream. The rare earths will then be extracted, through innovative magnetic sorting, +further processed for recovery." NRT developed the technology with help from the Small Business Innovation Research(SBIR) program, meant to encourage small businesses to engage in research +development projects aimed @commercialization. NRT has already received its funding through the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in `13, for Automated Identification +Sorting of Rare Earth Elements in an E-Waste Stream. Most rare earth elements are mined through open pit mining, which involves opening the surface of the earth using heavy equipment +machinery. Creating this disruption on the surface of the earth makes mines the point source of release for three major contaminants: radionuclides, rare earth elements, +dust +metal in addition to disrupting thriving ecosystems. Each of these contaminants escapes the mines in different ways +they each have different detrimental effects on the environment1; Tracey Hartje: "We "are 'very enthusiastic +eager' to be part of the expanding EWSI brand we believe that being involved in this project takes one of our most innovative technologies to full commercial use. There is significant strategic value for both parties, +we are eager to commence with our initiatives" "; J. Rich: "Sorting e-waste streams has its own set of challenges + risks, @a level separate from anything else in the world of waste management. We created technologies designed to mitigate those issues, +provide processes that are commercially viable"; Mr. Nielson: "EWSI's "objective is a global one +NRT has presence in 'many important world markets'. They opened a demo center in the Boji Science Park of Suzhou, China in `12, a European HQ through their parent company, Bulk Handling Systems(BHS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in `13, +continue to experience growth in their Tennessee operations. NRT exemplifies the highest health +environmental standards, combined with strong governmental as well as commercial support +interest". The EWSI portfolio of technologies +industry expertise "continues to expand, +the addition of this new proprietary system enables EWSI to deliver these new solutions on a 'global scale' ". Teaming with EWSI "provides access to network affiliates, 'proprietary technologies', including the ePlant1000, eWasteCC™, +eWasteTrack™, +committing to the highest industry standards, including zero landfill +the highest tier of health +safety concerns.

"Top 10 visuals for Cool Planet, as it breaks ground on commercial-scale advanced biofuels plant", Louisiana facility to produce green fuels +biochar, from sustainable wood residues. Here —the project, +the products, in pictures - BD, LOUISIANA - Feb 27, 2014

www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/02/27/cool-planet-breaks…
www.coolplanet.com/sites/default/files/docs/Cool_Planet_Star…
www.coolplanet.com/sites/default/files/docs/Cool-Planet-Ener…

"In Louisiana, Cool Planet Energy Systems broke ground on the company’s first commercial facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, dubbed Project Genesis. Permits have been received to begin earthwork and grading, with construction to immediately follow.

The facility is designed to produce 10 million gallons per year of high-octane, renewable gasoline blendstocks, as well as biochar, all made from sustainable wood residues.




The facility will be located at the Port of Alexandria, on the Red River Waterway in Central Louisiana. The site was chosen because of its excellent wood biomass availability, interstate and rail access, and direct barge access to more than nine refineries. The facility is expected to produce at least 24 direct jobs and bring at least $56 million in economic investment into the state. Estimates are that an additional 150 indirect jobs will result because of this facility, and 350 construction jobs will be utilized.


Timeline to scale

This first commercial plant at the Port of Alexandria will begin operations in late 2014. Construction will begin on the second bio-refinery at the Port of Natchitoches by the summer of 2015, with a completion date in the summer of 2016. The third site is scheduled to come online in late 2016 at a Louisiana site to be determined.


Reaction from Cool Planet

“Today’s groundbreaking is an important step forward in our plan to aggressively commercialize Cool Planet’s technology,” said CEO Howard Janzen. “We could not have picked a better location to build our first commercial facility and start transforming the nation’s fuel and food supplies.”




“Cool Planet’s unique business model of building smaller, significantly less expensive facilities closer to the biomass feedstock, will allow them to expand rapidly, achieve lower scale-up risk, and continuously innovate and improve with each facility,” said Cool Planet Board Member Basil Horangic. “This is a more sustainable model that will help Cool Planet commercialize its technology faster and deliver cost-competitive solutions to the agriculture and energy industries.”

Cool Planet strategic investors include BP, Google Ventures, Energy Technology Ventures (GE, ConocoPhillips, NRG Energy), and the Constellation division of Exelon.

Cool Planet’s technology turns biomass into green fuels and biochar and has the capability to be carbon negative. The company’s green fuels are able to be blended directly into the current fuel supply to reduce greenhouse gases from the air without sacrificing performance or increasing prices at the pump. The biochar product sequesters carbon and delivers transformative benefits to industries as diverse as agriculture, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. As a soil amendment, field trials of the company’s Cool Terra™ biochar with commercial growers have shown yield improvements of more than 50% with significant reductions in fertilizer and water use.


The Cool Planet system

The technology is based on the principles of pyrolysis but is not your Dad’s pyro system – not by a long shot.




The Cool Planet idea is essentially one of sequestration. Instead of running the biomass over one magic catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor, and then trying to do something with the resulting pyro oil, Cool Planet’s systems is based on a series of reactions.




“The biomass fractioner is fundamentally different than flash pyrolysis, Cool Planet founder Mike Cheiky told the Digest, “because we fundamentally deconstruct biomass in an orderly fashion, to preserve as much bond energy as possible. By decomposing in orderly process, we dig deeper into the fragments, and this gives us the freedom to prices the carbon in any way we want.But I don’t want to fixate on one process. What we are discussing today is just one of many process pathways, and we are not wed to any specific way; we have the flexibility to do that. In your normal VC set up, if your technology doesn’t work, you’re done and they sell off the parts – think of Range Fuels as an example. We are on a mission, not about a process.”


Economics

Plant #1 — $56 Million into the operating portion of the plant for 10 million gallons, or $5.60 per gallon of capacity, which doesn’t include some of the site work and preparation that the port will be doing. Presumably future plants will – either through optimizing design, or scale — will drop.




Business model and deployment

The company’s business model calls for developing 400 of the micro-refineries across the U.S. in the next decade. Major Cool Planet investors include BP, Google Ventures, Energy Technology Ventures (GE, ConocoPhillips and NRG Energy), North Bridge Venture Partners, Shea Ventures and the Constellation division of Exelon.

So, what’s the scale up plan? Cool Planet says that it intends to mass produce refining equipment, are built in modules on moveable skids, a flexible modular open architecture system, which makes the roll-out faster and field-upgradable.
Cool Planet is on its third generation design now, and expects to have its first mass producible plant open in the September period, producing what it calls 400,000 gallon per year sub-scale systems, and is expecting a fourth generation design by Spring 2013.


Scale

Cool Planet’s production plants will be 100 times smaller than a typical oil refinery, but the company’s largely prefabricated systems can be moved near concentrated biomass sources, reducing transportation costs and increasing efficiency. Those savings will enable the company to produce gasoline blendstock that’s competitive with oil refineries at prices as low as $50 per barrel while eliminating the need for government fuel credits or subsidies.





More about Cool Terra

Using a proprietary process, Cool Planet also will market biochar, a byproduct of the refining process that will be used as an agricultural supplement to boost water retention and reduce carbon released from crops. This process makes Cool Planet’s overall production cycle a carbon-negative process – meaning the project will achieve a net reduction of greenhouse gases.




The process also generates value through biochar production, which can be returned to the soil, enabling fertilizer and water retention for increased crop productivity and more robust plant health. The process can be carbon-negative, removing up to 150 percent of the carbon footprint for every gallon used, reversing the consequences of fossil fuels.




Last October, Cool Planet announced the launch of their biochar soil amendment product “Cool Terra” for commercial agricultural trials. Rick Wilson, Vice President of the Cool Planet Biochar Group, made the announcement at the 2013 US Biochar conference. It plans to continue expanding application opportunities with selected partners in the agricultural community leading to commercial product release in 2014.




Expansion beyond Louisiana: Malaysia

Last October, Cool Planet Energy Systems and Acritaz Greentech announced that they have signed an agreement to explore the building of multiple commercial facilities in Malaysia.

The plan is to begin construction on the first plant in 2014. Acritaz will work with Cool Planet to use biomass raw materials local to the region that include palm plantation waste products such as empty fruit bunches, wood, and bark waste to make renewable, cellulosic fuels for the Asian market.

Acritaz will work to commit $60 million to the first facility before the end of 2013. The first commercial facility is planned to be located in the Malaysian state of Johor. Acritaz and Cool Planet will then work to build multiple facilities across Malaysia, with Acritaz purchasing proprietary equipment and consumables from Cool Planet in the construction and operation of the facilities.

Acritaz and Cool Planet will develop a plant design that satisfies the specific needs of Malaysia, including feedstock selection, biochar production, and specification of the final fuel.


Asia-Pac wide

Last September, Concord Energy announced that it has signed an agreement with Cool Planet Energy Systems to establish a joint-venture in the Asia Pacific Region. The JV will develop commercial production facilities for the conversion of non-food biomass into biofuels and soil enhancing biochar. Concord Energy has also made a financial investment in Cool Planet.


The Bottom Line

A huge step forward for a fuel with a ton of promise. "

"Chinese central bank officials directed the recent decline in the value of the yuan as they prepare to widen the currency’s trading band, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources.

The decision was taken during a two-day currency-policy meeting that ended February 18, the people said. In the past week, the People's Bank of China has been guiding the yuan lower against the dollar by setting a weaker benchmark against which the yuan can trade. By guiding the yuan weaker, Beijing intends to thwart short-term speculators betting on a continued rise and to introduce greater two-way volatility into its trading. "

"Despite China's plans to cut steel production in the hopes of reducing pollution this year, new steel capacity will greatly surpass the number of plants closed, Financial Times reported.

About 30 million tons of new steel capacity across the country is still under construction, double the 15 million tons of cuts pledged for 2014 by Hebei province, the industrial heartland surrounding Beijing which accounts for about a quarter of Chinese steel capacity. Cuts to steel capacity are hoped to reduce pollution in northern China, which just experienced several days of severe smog deemed by the WHO as a “crisis.” "

Power Factor: "Institutional Investors’ Energy Efficiency Policy Priorities Can Bring Energy Efficiency to Scale" - Ceres/DG&A - May13

- Research "shows climate change "could" impose a multi-trillion dollar burden on the global economy, +contribute ten percent of overall risk within institutional investment portfolios." Institutional investors, who manage tens of trillions of dollars globally, "are actively looking for ways to mitigate these climate-related risks." Energy efficiency offers one such opportunity for institutional investors, to manage the risks of climate change, while earning a 'competitive rate' of return on their investment."

Industry analysts "have "estimated" the "potential" energy efficiency investment opportunity in the hundreds of billions of dollars."

" 'Leading Global Investors' Gather @UN on Urgency for Boosting Clean Energy, to Curb Climate Change" - C/CalSTRS/U.N./BBNEF, NEW YORK - Jan 15, 2014

www.ceres.org/investor-network/investor-summit

"Nearly 500 leading investors meeting today at the United Nations see major growth potential for ramping up green bonds and other clean energy investments to the levels necessary in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Despite a drop in global clean energy investments in 2013, institutional investors expressed strong agreement on the urgency for boosting investments in low-carbon technologies. Much of the discussion focused on elevating clean energy investments by an additional $1 trillion per year in order to limit global warming to two degrees. Ceres announced a Clean Trillion paper with 10 recommendations for investors, companies and policymakers to scale up clean energy investments to $500 billion per year by 2020 and $1 trillion per year by 2030.

“Quite simply, there’s a huge clean energy investment gap,” said Jack Ehnes, CEO of the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), the nation’s second largest public pension fund managing $146 billion in assets. “Meeting the $1 trillion a year goal will be a challenge, but it is where we need to be in order to protect and grow our portfolios and to ensure the long-term sustainability of our planet.”

Ceres acknowledged the barriers to investing an additional $36 trillion in clean energy between now and 2050 – the levels the International Energy Agency has called for to limit global warming – but also focused on the opportunities associated with clean energy investments and the risks posed to institutional investors’ portfolios by not taking action.

“Cost competitive renewable technologies and attractive investment opportunities exist right now, but we’re still not seeing clean energy deployment at the scale we need to put a dent in climate change,” said Ceres president Mindy Lubber, whose group helped organize the Investor Summit on Climate Risk in collaboration with the UN Foundation and the UN Office for Partnerships. “Companies and investors must support the adoption of the necessary policies that that will open the floodgates for investment capital from all asset classes to flow into clean energy.”

Today’s event comes in advance of the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Summit in September, where he will seek to raise ambition, including among business and investors, towards a new universal agreement on climate change by 2015. The investors were urged today by Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to continue seeking opportunities to invest profitably in clean energy solutions and support the international climate process.

"Governments and investors have pivotal, mutually supportive roles to play in accelerating the transition to the low carbon economy —one that can combat climate change, generate jobs and tackle a range of challenges from natural resource scarcities to health-hazardous air pollution,” she said. “Smart policies, creative incentives and innovative financial instruments by governments are already catalyzing a shift: it is time to scale these up world-wide. Meanwhile investors need certainty, a phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies in order to level the playing field and full disclosure of companies ‘carbon footprints’ in order to make informed decisions."

Bloomberg New Energy Finance released new research data at the Summit showing that global clean energy investment was $254 billion in 2013, an 11 percent drop from the revised $286 billion in 2012. BNEF attributed the decline to a continued sharp reduction in cost of photovoltaic systems and impacts on investor confidence due to policy shifts regarding renewable power in Europe and the U.S.

A number of positive trends emerged, however. Investment in clean energy via the public markets more than doubled as rising share prices restored some confidence in the shares of solar and wind manufacturers. Investors also showed enthusiasm about new areas such as electric vehicles and renewable power project funds.

“Despite the drop in global investments in 2013, it is possible to close the investment gap by first, bringing capital costs down for clean energy projects and second, more properly pricing fossil fuel capital costs which are artificially low,” said Mark Fulton, senior fellow for Ceres who authored the Ceres paper, Investing in the Clean Trillion: Closing the Clean Energy Investment Gap. “There needs to be a global push to put the necessary financing vehicles and policies in place to bring capital costs down and enable the capital markets to realize clean energy's vast potential.”

The Ceres paper is available at www.ceres.org/cleantrillion. Recommendations include:

Mobilize Investor Action to Scale Up Clean Energy Investment

1. Develop capacity to boost clean energy investments and consider setting a goal such as 5 percent portfolio-wide clean energy investments
2. Elevate scrutiny of fossil fuel companies’ potential carbon asset risk exposure
3. Engage portfolio companies on the business case for energy efficiency and renewable energy sourcing, as well as on financing vehicles to support such efforts
4. Support efforts to standardize and quantify clean energy investment data and products to improve market transparency


Promote Green Banking and Debt Capital Markets

5. Encourage "green banking" to maximize private capital flows into clean energy
6. Support issuances of asset-backed securities to expand debt financing for clean energy projects
7. Support development bank finance and technical assistance for emerging economies


Reform Climate, Energy and Financial Policies

8. Support regulatory reforms to electric utility business models to accelerate deployment of clean energy sources and technologies
9. Support government policies that result in a strong price on carbon pollution from fossil fuels and phase out fossil fuel subsidies
10. Support policies to de-risk deployment of clean energy sources and technologies


In support of green banking and debt capital markets, a number of banks – including Ceres’ Company Network member Bank of America – published the “Green Bond Principles,” the first-ever voluntary disclosure standards for issuing green bonds.

“Through their cooperation on the Green Bond Principles, the banks are promoting transparency and integrity in the development of the green bond market,” Lubber said. “This is the type of thinking that needs to be encouraged if we are to reach the Clean Trillion goal.”

Apple, San Diego International Airport, Solarcity +Sapphire Energy Join Call for U.S. Action on Climate Change, 140+ California Companies Say Climate Change is the “Greatest Economic Opportunity Of the 21st Century” - Feb 25, 2014
www.sapphireenergy.com/documents/climate%20declaration%20rel…
www.ceres.org/files/bicep-files/ca-climate-declaration?utm_s…

"As California battles the worst drought in centuries, more than a dozen major California-based businesses, including Apple, SolarCity, San Diego International Airport, Sungevity, and Sapphire Energy today signed the Climate Declaration, a business leader call to action that urges federal and state policymakers to seize the economic opportunity of addressing climate change. The announcement was made at the U.S. Climate Leadership Conference today at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay.

San Diego-based companies signing the declaration include: Sapphire Energy, Sullivan Solar, Renovate America, the San Diego Regional Airport Authority, and CleanTech San Diego, a trade association and clean tech cluster representing 800 clean tech companies.

Launched last year by Ceres, a nonprofit sustainability advocacy organization, and its business network, Business for Innovative Climate & Energy Policy (BICEP), the Climate Declaration has more than 750 signatories nationwide, and 140 in California, including iconic brands like General Motors, Unilever, Gap Inc., and eBay Inc. The California signatories have added their own special message to the declaration for Washington:

“As the world’s 8th largest economy, California is a champion of clean energy progress and innovation,” states the declaration. “Thanks in part to its smart energy policies including its landmark climate law, AB32, California has been a global leader in job creation, clean energy investments and GDP growth.”

California leads the nation in renewable energy development, with more than 43,700 jobs in 2012 in the solar industry (one-third of all solar jobs in the U.S.) and more than 7,000 jobs in the wind industry. In 2013, the state doubled its solar rooftop installations, from 1,000 megawatts to 2,000 megawatts. It also ranks 48th in the country in per capita energy consumption, due in part to the state’s strong energy efficiency programs.

“The 140 plus California companies which have signed the Climate Declaration see the financial upside of tackling climate change today, both for their own bottom lines and the overall economy," said Anne Kelly, director of policy and BICEP at Ceres, a Boston-based nonprofit sustainability advocacy group. “We welcome them, invite others to come on board and applaud the state of California for its bold steadfast leadership on climate and energy policy.”
“Climate change is causing more frequent extreme weather that is harming businesses and our economy. I am proud to stand with this coalition of forward-thinking businesses who are seizing this economic opportunity to prepare for the negative effects of a changing climate while also advocating for concrete actions to be better stewards of our environment.” – Rep. Scott Peters (CA-52)

Among those is Sungevity, a Bay-Area based solar provider whose workforce has grown from four to about 400 since 2007. The company has operations in nine U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Europe and Australia, and its global network of customers has offset over 100 million pounds of carbon emissions to date.

“Actively addressing climate change is the biggest economic opportunity of our time,” said Danny Kennedy, co-founder of Sungevity and author of Rooftop Revolution, How to Save Our Economy – and Our Planet – from Dirty Energy. “Sungevity’s rapid growth is proof positive that the solar service sector can spur the economy with high-paying jobs that cannot be easily off-shored, particularly in sales, service and maintenance.”

Another signatory, Los Angeles-based KB Home (NYSE:KBH), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, has built more than 80,000 ENERGY STAR® certified homes since 2000, saving homeowners an estimated $36 million on their energy bills in 2013, while preventing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to roughly 39,000 vehicles. The company also has an extensive solar initiative that has already led to the construction of 2,200 solar homes. The company’s new homes also have water-conserving features that help homeowners save an average of 30,000 gallons of water and $300 annually. KB Home is also currently experimenting with advanced water recycling technology and installed its first system on a net-zero home in Southern California.

“KB Home has strategically focused on increasing the environmental performance of every home we build, and today we are proud that our efforts have already helped thousands of our customers save water, energy, and money on their utilities,” said Dan Bridleman, senior vice president of sustainability, technology and strategic sourcing at KB Home. “We believe that continuing to expand upon our industry-leading commitment to sustainability is the right course for our business, our buyers, and our planet.”

San Diego-based Sapphire Energy is pioneering an entirely new industry—Green Crude—that enhances and replaces petroleum-based products with a low carbon, renewable, and scalable fuel. Unlike traditional biofuels, Green Crude products and processes are made solely from photosynthetic microorganisms (algae and cyanobacteria), using sunlight and CO2 as their feedstock. They are not dependent on food crops or valuable farmland, or use potable water. Sapphire has a research and development facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and is currently operating the first Integrated Algal BioRefinery in Columbus, New Mexico.

“Sapphire Energy has always been dedicated to developing a price-competitive, low carbon, renewable source of energy that hastens energy independence and is 100 percent compatible with existing refinery and transportation systems,” said Tim Zenk vice president of corporate affairs at Sapphire Energy, Inc. “Today, with legislation like AB32 and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), we see California as on track to be a leader in addressing climate change, setting an example for the country on how to leverage sustainable, economically viable opportunities that will help to protect our environment for future generations.”

Clean tech companies like Sapphire Energy were estimated to have contributed more than $1.4 billion in economy activity and close to 5,000 jobs to San Diego in 2011, according to CleanTech San Diego. (This includes biofuel; clean transportation; energy storage, efficiency and smart grid; and solar energy companies.)

“Thanks to AB 32 and California's forward thinking energy policies, San Diego is poised to lead the nation in job-creating clean energy technologies,” said Jason Anderson, president CleanTech San Diego. “California’s experience proves that the choice between a robust economy and a vibrant environment is a false one.”

The San Diego International Airport was the country’s first major airport to adopt a formal sustainability policy in 2008 and is actively pursuing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve LEED certification in all new construction.

“We are proud that the San Diego International Airport is the first airport in the nation to sign the Climate Declaration,” said Thella F. Bowens, President/CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, owner and operator of the airport. “We are pleased to join other signatories from the private and public sectors, from California and across the nation, in this unified and steadfast commitment to sustainability.”

Beyond signing the declaration, or taking their own steps to become more sustainable, many of the company signatories are engaging further with policy makers. Seventy percent of the major company signatories (those with over $100 million in annual revenues) have expressed their views on the need for climate policy by lobbying on Capitol Hill, sending a letter, and/or engaging with the public through social media.

“We see the dire impacts of climate change happening now,” said Hans Cole, Environmental Campaigns and Advocacy Manager, Patagonia, Inc. “California’s decreased snow pack in the mountains and corresponding water scarcity will affect everyone. But, there is an opportunity to spur innovation, shift policy and steer a different course. We will continue to support this movement and effective solutions at the state and federal levels.”

'Waterless' washing machine innovator Xeros plans £100.000.000 flotation - GWB - Feb 21, 2014

- Zoe Wood -
www.greenwisebusiness.co.uk/news/waterless-washing-machine-i…

"Just as inventor James Dyson revolutionised our chores with hi-tech hoovers and fans, a new company is set to change the way we wash our clothes, with a pioneering washing machine that uses tiny plastic beads rather than gallons of water to rinse clothes clean.
Sheffield-based Xeros has announced plans for a potential £100 million stock market listing that could bring its pioneering technology to the mass market. Developed by Stephen Burkinshaw, a chemist at Leeds University, the appliance is aimed at commercial laundries, but the company has already developed a prototype for domestic use and is looking to sign a deal with a major manufacturer. Both Burkinshaw and Leeds University are shareholders in the company.

The Xeros washing machine looks like a standard washing machine but washes clothes using thousands of reusable plastic beads, along with water and soap. The beads absorb dirt, resulting in an environmentally friendly wash that uses far less water and detergent.

Run by chief executive Bill Westwater, whose career includes stints at consumer goods giant P&G and oil giant Royal Dutch Shell, the technology company is thought to be raising between £30 million-£40 million from the sale of new shares. The fundraising will potentially translate into a market value of up to £100 million when it joins the junior AIM market in March.

"Xeros's reusable and recyclable polymer bead cleaning systems offer an attractive customer proposition combining cost savings, efficiencies and superior cleaning performance," said Westwater. "I am delighted that our major shareholders are highly supportive of our proposed listing and associated fundraising."

The company has already raised more than £15 million. Existing investors include fund manager Invesco Perpetual and IP Group, which specialises in backing inventions developed in universities. "

Capex shows mining no longer drives the economy - MA - Feb 28, 2014

- Ben Hagemann -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/capex-shows-mining-no-longer…

"Any trace of the boom in mining investment is gone, with capital expenditure (capex) results released yesterday showing a fall in spending throughout mining and the rest of the economy.

The Bureau of Statistics reported actual business investment had dropped 5.2 per cent in the December quarter, to $38.29 billion.

This was the biggest quarterly fall in business investment in over two years, and the lowest level since the global financial crisis.

Investment in equipment, plant and machinery fell 5.5 per cent, and the mining sector capex fell 5.5 per cent.

Economists are concerned over the slump in projected investment for FY 2015, which has been estimated by UBS Australia to fall 11 per cent, far greater than the 2 per cent previously forecast by Treasury.

JP Morgan chief economist Stephen Walters said yesterday’s data suggests that falling business investment will be a significant drag on Australia's economic growth next financial year and longer.

"The data reveals that firms in mining continue to scale back their spending intentions, albeit more quickly than we had anticipated, while those outside the mining sector are treading water - at best," he wrote in his analysis.

"The planned large falls in spending in mining are swamping the slightly higher intentions elsewhere, with manufacturing still a dead-weight."

The numbers also showed the mining investment boom, which has been the main driver of the economy for almost a decade, had peaked.

RBC Capital Markets currency strategist Michael Turner said it will be difficult for Australia to make the transition from a mining investment-led economy to one driven by other sectors.

‘‘Everyone is looking for signs of activity outside of mining. There’s a faint heartbeat there but it’s not setting the world on fire,’’ he said. "

"Chinese President Xi Jinping will head a central government body for internet security, Reuters reported, citing state-run Xinhua News Agency.

Among the security body's aims would be to coordinate internet security among different sectors, and to draft national strategies, development plans and major policies, Xi was quoted as saying. It would also seek to turn China into a “cyber power.” Since coming to power, Xi has presided over an intensifying online crackdown that has drawn criticism. China has also faced growing accusations of carrying out state-sponsored hacking attacks around the world, charges the government strongly denies. "

"There’s energy all around us in the form of TV, radio and WiFi signals. Develop a device that doesn’t need much power, and you can harvest enough power from thin air to cut out the need for a battery entirely.



- photo: University of Washington -


University of Washington researchers have found some interesting applications for this like communication between devices and using WiFi to detect motion. Their latest effort powers a gesture recognition device with TV signals, with the added benefit that the device costs less than $1 to make.




Known as the AllSee, the device is a tiny quarter-sized sensor that can be paired with existing tech to create a gesture-based user interface. Like using a Leap Motion, you can wave, push or close your hand in the air in front of the AllSee to communicate with a computer, robot or other tech in different ways.

The sensor also uses TV signals to monitor for gesture commands. Whenever you move through a space, you alter the signals in the air around you. The sensor tracks how your hand changes TV signals and converts that change to interpret how you moved your hand.

AllSee is small enough to easily be attached to the back of a mobile phone. The research team tested eight different gestures with an AllSee-equipped phone and found that the sensor interpreted gestures correctly more than 90 percent of the time. It is able to detect gestures located more than two feet away and even sense through clothing. For example, you could place it in your pocket and it would still work.

“Beyond mobile devices, AllSee can enable interaction with internet of things devices. These sensing devices are increasingly smaller electronics that can’t operate with usual keypads, so gesture-based systems are ideal,” UW electrical engineering doctoral student Bryce Kellogg said in a release.

The team will showcase their invention in April at the Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation conference in Seattle. "

"Pine forest vapors form small aerosol particles that may significantly cool the climate by reflecting the sun’s energy back into space, according to new findings. Scientists have known for decades that gases from pine trees can form particles that grow from just 1 nanometer in diameter to 100 nanometers in about a day.

The new research, published in Nature, shows the rapid growth of these particles relies on a chemical chain reaction among pine-scented molecules and atmospheric ozone and oxygen. The growing particle then grabs others like it, eventually snowballing into a 100-nanometer particle — one that’s large enough to condense water vapor, prompt cloud formation, and, ultimately, influence climate. Boreal or pine forests give off the largest amount of these compounds, so the finding is especially relevant for the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Russia. But other types of forests emit similar vapors, and the scientists think these may undergo similar rapid chemical reactions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified aerosols generally as one of the biggest unknowns for climate change. "

Bury CO2 gases, says international climate change expert - WM - Feb 28, 2014

- K. Cloete, T. Hancock -
www.miningweekly.com/article/bury-co2-gases-says-internation…

"World-renowned energy expert Sir Eric Ash believes China, the US and the UK are starting to take stock of the damage being done by carbon dioxide (CO2) released by coal and the potential of burying the noxious gases underground or in the sea.

“I’m not aware of any coal plant around the world that is burying the CO2 it produces, but I do believe momentum behind carbon capture and storage to separate CO2 from gases in the power stations and bury it, is building. There is hope,” he said in Cape Town.

Sir Ash said the ‘right place’ to bury CO2 would be under the sea, but it was not impossible on land either, as there were places where CO2 could be safely stored.

Speaking at the annual Wolfson Memorial Lecture at the University of Cape Town, Sir Ash, who had initiated a series of reports on energy policy during his tenure as Treasurer and VP of the Royal Society in the UK, said it was vital to find ways of mitigating the damage caused by CO2 emissions from coal.

“With the growing world shortage of energy, the chance of coal not being burnt is zero. But if we are to burn all the coal that is underground, we are in serious trouble.”

He said world coal reserves would suffice for probably 100 years, and possibly longer.

Sir Ash said despite efforts, global CO2 emissions were still increasing.

“We have not levelled them off yet, let alone got close to a decrease.”

He said there was a growing realisation that theories on climate change dovetailed with what scientists were observing on the ground.

“The rapid rise in CO2 over the last 50 years is unprecedented and relates very closely to computer models – a very powerful tool we use in all science and engineering.”

Sir Ash said the theory had been reflected in heatwaves, droughts and destructive typhoons, such as the unusual typhoon in the Philippines, which caused 10 000 deaths, as well as the violent typhoon that recently hit India.

“The evidence is growing rapidly. It’s becoming even more persuasive. Temperatures have risen. The total temperature rise is 0.9 ˚C. It may seem small, but climate is exquisitely sensitive to small changes in temperature.”

He said it was forecast that the planet could see temperature increases of up to 4 ˚C by the year 2100, which would be “disastrous”.

Sir Ash said there were still climate change sceptics because climate change was such an enormously complicated issue, covering a range of disciplines and that it was seen as a “distant threat”.

He told the gathering it was up to ordinary citizens to take charge and influence governments and companies to mitigate climate change, noting that it was highly unlikely that governments would do this on their own, as they had their own agendas that were tied closely to politics and winning elections.

But a groundswell from ordinary people could make a difference.

“Remember how difficult it was to persuade people that smoking was bad for their health? But ordinary people put pressure on governments and made a huge difference. I hope enough people take this on because the climate is worth saving.” "

Development of deep-seabed mining rules under way - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 28, 2014

- Schalk Burger -
www.miningweekly.com/article/development-of-deep-seabed-mini…

"In its 2014 session, held in February, world regulatory body the International Seabed Authority’s (ISA’s) Legal and Technical Commission was preparing draft regulations for the exploitation of polymetallic nodules in three areas approved for deep-seabed exploration worldwide. The first of the awarded explo- ration licences will expire in 2016.

The ISA has, thus far, granted 14 of its 166 member States exploration licences in these three areas. Five other exploration plans have been approved, but have not yet been concluded in the form of a contract, while a further seven exploration plans are being considered by the ISA Legal and Technical Commission.

In one of the three deep-seabed exploration areas currently permitted by international law, China, South Korea, Germany and India are among the States prospecting for polymetallic nodules and sulphides in the Central Indian basin and the Indian Ridge, far to the south-east of South Africa.

They are part of the international seabed mining exploration projects looking for polymetallic nodules along enormous undersea ridges, vast abyssal plains and geological fault lines in the Central Indian basin of the Indian Ocean, north-east of Mauritius and Réunion; and in the Equatorial North Pacific Ocean, south-east of Hawaii. Meanwhile, exploration for polymetallic sulphides is being undertaken in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge of the Atlantic Ocean and in the Southwest Indian Ridge, south of Madagascar.

Polymetallic nodules are deposits or accretions partially buried in deep-seabed sediments that contain manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper. Polymetallic sulphides often precipitate from deep-sea hydrothermal vents found along the mid-ocean ridges and contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver. Deep-seabed mining licences to explore for cobalt sulphides, manganese nodules, polymetallic sulphides and cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts have been awarded to various international mining companies.

Further, commercial companies have been granted rights by several countries, including Ghana and Papua New Guinea, to mine the seabed in their exclusive economic zones for gold, silver, zinc and copper using dredging, mining and oil and gas equipment and techniques.

In Southern African waters, diamond company De Beers, coastal mining company Panda Marine and South African State-owned Alexkor mine diamonds from the coast and seabed on the West Coast.

Off the coast of Papua New Guinea, Canadian deep-seabed miner Nautilus Minerals – the first company to receive an ISA exploration licence – found that indicated mineral resources are 7.2% copper, 5.0 g/t gold, 23 g/t silver and 0.4% zinc, while inferred mine- ral resources are 8.1% copper, 6.4 g/t gold, 34 g/t silver and 0.9% zinc.

In its technical study towards developing a regulatory framework for polymetallic nodule exploitation, the ISA reports that “the renewed interest in the potential for commercial exploitation of deep-seabed polymetallic nodules is driven by an increase in demand for metals, a rise in metal prices and a decline in the tonnage and grade of land-based nickel, copper and cobalt sulphide deposits, as well as technological advances in deep-seabed mining and processing”.


HISTORY OF SEABED MINING

In the past, seabed and subsoil beyond the limits of national jurisdiction were considered unregulated territory until the United Nations declared them the common heritage of human- kind in 1970. Since the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea, the seabed can only be subjected to mining “for the benefit of all human- kind”, in accordance with the founding charter of the ISA.

Nevertheless, the ISA states: “Seabed mining has a smaller footprint and uses a more environment-friendly process than terrestrial mining. It does not impact [on] waterways, has reduced carbon emission, as a result of limited heavy machinery with less overburden, meaning a smaller volume of nonvaluable rock is removed and disposed of before the resource is exposed.”

Seabed mining also does not require additional roads, surface ore transport systems, buildings or other permanent infrastructure that could disrupt indigenous or native populations or habitats.

However, the ISA reports that the potential impact on the marine environment includes the removal of organisms and their habitats along with the mineral deposits and the smother- ing of adjacent communities by any sediment plume that may be created. “Exploration and exploitation must be carried out with minimal environmental impact.”

Meanwhile, the ISA has funded research projects to examine the potential impact of seabed mining and how to assess and mitigate these effects. Exploitation regulations will include obligations and recommendations to reduce any potential environmental impact, the organisation states.

Regulations for limited sampling exploration in international waters include significant environmental and deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystem monitoring and management obliga- tions. State companies conducting exploration must collect baseline environmental data during this phase and during exploitation to develop their environmental monitoring plans and to determine the environmental impact of exploitation. The data must be analysed to improve understanding of the cumulative environmental impact of all aspects of exploitation.

Analysis of the data collected in the environmental monitoring programmes during exploitation will provide important feedback to, and inform potential modification of, environ- mental monitoring plans and systems. The ISA aims to establish exploitation regulations that will be modified and improved as it receives feedback from environmental studies during exploitation.

“Because exploitation will not be a public enterprise, questions immediately emerge about how to appropriately divide both profit and risk. These, in turn, raise difficult resource rent questions about capturing windfall profits and rents in the name of social justice. Both environmental destruction and the division of rent must somehow be addressed in the eventual fiscal package,” the ISA warns.


MINING TECHNIQUES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

There are several deep-seabed mining techniques, depending on the mineralisation of the resource. Some companies use a seabed-crawler machine that pumps the mineral-bearing gravels to the surface.

Other techniques use cutting machines, similar to those used for coal mining, that cut mineral-bearing rock on the seabed before the resultant sand, gravel and silt are collected by another machine and pumped as a seawater slurry to a production support vessel on the surface. Processed materials are then returned to the deep-sea area being mined.

However, the techniques may increase turbidity of the water column in the area of exploitation and may negatively affect the filter- feeding benthic organisms living on the seabed at extreme depths.

Coastal alluvial diamond mining company Panda Marine claims that marine mining has a low environmental impact, when practised responsibly, and the disturbance of the seabed and soils release nutrients that provide an additional boost to native animal populations, especially zooplankton that can help to boost the depleted Atlantic fish stocks off the western coast of Southern Africa.

Canadian marine miner Marine Mining Corp, exploring for gold off Ghana’s coast, notes that its operations require no chemical alteration of the rocks – the sands are brought up to the surface, gold removed by gravitational separation and the remaining materials returned to the seafloor.

Marine Mining says a review of similar ope- rations around the world reports little or no environmental concerns, even off heavily popu- lated and monitored beaches, such as Florida.

“In addition, the company has been investigating existing environmental problems on the coast to see whether mining operations can be tailored to ameliorate them. Many points along the coast have been modified to suit the tourist industry, and one of the results has been coastal erosion, which now endangers a number of villages. An offshore mining project may pump offshore sands to the beach to replenish them, or gravels and boulders to buffer them,” highlights Marine Mining Corp exploration manager Michael Gipp.

De Beers Marine Mining, mining off Namibia’s coast, carries out daily environmental management at an operational level and ensures legal compliance on environmental obligations.

The ISA Marine Mining Code notes that, despite States having explicit marine environmental obligations, there is little national environmental regulation of marine mining, especially beyond the territorial sea. Further, other than the ISA’s marine environmental work related to marine minerals exploration and exploitation in the areas being explored, there is none in any marine area beyond national jurisdiction.

“By developing and promulgating the code, the marine mining industry is assuming a share of the extensive responsibilities for marine environmental protection that are assigned under international law to States. The code also enables the marine mining industry to meet the requirements for regulatory predictability and reduction of risk, including environmental regulations and risks, and in facilitating financial and operational planning,” the ISA notes.

Further, a critical problem is “high grading” that, while not allowed, is “an all too frequent practice” involving a mining operation targeting only high-grade portions of reserves to maximise profits and minimise expenses, leaving significant, but lower-grade, portions behind in their concession areas.

Therefore, the ISA says: “A ‘whole of the deposit’ approach to nodule exploitation is required that includes a comprehensive resource and reserve assessment of the proposed mining area and the adoption of a sequential mining plan that maximises reserve recovery, utilisation and metal recovery.

“Provision for periodic review and update of the mining plan must be made and performance guarantees and ‘failure to perform’ penalties, with the latter escalating over time to discourage behaviour inconsistent with approved mining plans, must be included in the regulatory framework for polymetallic nodule exploitation.”

The ISA technical study for exploitation regulations recommends a phased licensing approach to grant three-year fixed-tenure mining licences to companies, which will improve the accountability of companies throughout deep-seabed mining operations through periodic review and analysis of performance.

Proposed regulations for exploitation include granting provisional mining licences after receiving detailed bankable feasibility studies, which must be preceded by a pilot mining ope- ration to prove economic, environmental and technical analyses done during exploration.

“An application for a tenured mining licence would include the data, information, analysis and conclusions of the detailed bankable feasi- bility study and full environmental-impact assessment and proposed work plans. This will provide data, information and analysis allowing the ISA to determine whether a full-scale mining operation could be undertaken in an acceptable and minimally environmentally invasive way,” the authority concludes.

Loss of Arctic Sea Ice "Has Greater Warming Impact, Than Expected" - CT/YE360/UoC/UCSDR/PoTNAoS - Feb 20, 2014

https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/satellite-data-reveal-rapid-da…

"The steady disappearance of Arctic sea ice, which is causing the exposed and darker surface of the Arctic Ocean to absorb more sunlight, is having a more profound impact on global warming than previously estimated, according to a new study.

The decline of albedo, or reflectivity, from the Arctic Ocean equals roughly 25 percent of the warming caused by rising carbon dioxide levels, according to scientists at the University of California, San Diego. The impact of this “albedo feedback,” in which the highly reflective white surface of sea ice is replaced by heat-absorbing open ocean, is considerably stronger than climate models had predicted, according to the UCSD research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Researchers had thought increasing Arctic cloud cover might slow the albedo feedback, but this study indicates that is not happening. In addition to sea ice retreat, the researchers also note that black carbon soot could be causing Arctic ice to darken and absorb more sunlight. "

The " "Best" Kept Secret in Green Building –a Conversation with Jerry Yudelson" - CT - Feb 20, 2014

- S. Kaplow, J. Yudelson -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/20/the-best-kept-secret…

"I had a conversation with Jerry Yudelson last week, six weeks after he became the President of the Green Building Initiative, the non profit with the rights to distribute Green Globes in the United States.

Jerry is known to many in the green building world. He was a co-founder of the first USGBC chapter and in the room when the Greenbuild convention and expo was conceived. He served on the USGBC national board of directors and he has been a prolific author and speaker about all things green building, including LEED. So, some were surprised when he assumed the helm of the Green Globes organization.

But any shock at Jerry’s new job is resoundingly suppressed when you hear him say that with more than four and a half million commercial buildings in the U.S., we have certified less than one percent of them as green. He describes his job as “not to get you to change from Protestant to Catholic, but rather to convert those with no religion to green building.”

Jerry readily acknowledges that with less than 1,000 Green Globes certified projects in the U.S., that represents less than a five percent market share. He confidently says his goal is to increase certification to more than 10,000 in the next five years.

He suggests that expanded brand acceptance and market share will be led by Green Globes independent onsite assessor model, something that differentiates this rating system from others. Not to mention that that this rating system is better, faster and cheaper.

Jerry sounds cautiously optimistic about both the changes in GSA and DoD policy in recent months to allow government projects to pursue Green Globes, but he points out that now individual agencies must see a benefit. He sees the real benefit being GBI’s standalone software feature providing an assessment of the federal government’s Guiding Principles for new construction, with a report detailing compliance.

Touting his motto, “It is green building for practical people” Jerry sees the larger growth opportunity in the private sector, from retail to healthcare. And while the certification system is weighted heavily towards energy performance (390 of 1,000 possible new construction points), the new version of Green Globes launched in 2013, allows a project the flexibility to select between four paths for demonstrating energy compliance. He doesn’t disagree that some will be drawn to the fact that the cost of pursuing Green Globes is half the cost of LEED, in large measure because there is no need for specialized consultants, but Jerry wants to talk about the value added of Green Globes’ independent assessors who bring their professional judgment when visiting each site.

He does not advocate mandatory green building laws for private building and he sees a benefit of allowing the freedom of the marketplace to control this rapidly changing field, where performance counts.

Jerry makes clear the number one issue in green building today is the value added proposition. Green building must provide value or the whole industry will be out of business in ten years.

" 'Stimulus Dollars' Advance Energy Efficiency +Renewable Energy In America's Cities", U.S. Mayors Release 200+ City Survey "Showing Successful Use of Energy Efficiency +Conservation Block Grant Funding, Under The American Recovery +Reinvestment Act" - SH/PRNW/USNW/USCoM, WASHINGTON - Mar 1, 2014

"The nation's mayors this week released the results of a new survey pointing to city successes in using Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Gresham (OR) Mayor Shane Bemis, Bridgeport (CT) Mayor Bill Finch and Carmel (IN) Mayor Jim Brainard presented the survey findings on a national press conference call to highlight local energy innovations championed by mayors in every part of the country. The results document the responses of 204 mayors – representing cities of all population sizes and from all regions – to a series of questions from the Mayors' Climate Protection Center designed to show generally how cities invested their EECBG program funds to help further local initiatives to reduce energy use, deploy new energy technologies and curb harmful energy emissions, among other local outcomes. Audio of the press conference is available at http://usmayors.org/pressreleases/uploads/2014/0227-audio-ee… .

"These findings underscore that mayors have been leading by example on energy efficiency and conservation for years," said Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis, Chair of the Conference's Energy Committee. "Mayors all across the country have been actively working to advance energy-saving measures in communities large and small, and what we see in this report translates into real budgetary savings, local job creation and small business growth."

While the full report can be found at www.usmayors.org, some of its key findings are below:

The three top uses of EECBG dollars by cities were energy retrofits of government buildings (83 percent of cities), LED/other energy-efficient street lighting (42 percent), and solar energy systems on public buildings and facilities (31 percent).
Most mayors directed a majority of their EECBG funds to investments in municipal projects and operations. Nearly seven in eight mayors (87%) expended a majority of their EECBG grant dollars on municipal projects and operations.
LED/other energy-efficient lighting ranked first among energy technologies that have already been deployed by cities, with local and federal resources, most notably EECBG grants, providing the primary sources of funding for these deployments.
The availability of EECBG funds to cities has influenced city budgetary priorities, and also prompted new partnerships with a range of private sector and governmental entities.
A majority of mayors cited energy service contracting as the innovative energy financing strategy that EECBG funds helped most often.

Of the report's findings, Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch, who Co-Chairs the Conference's Energy Independence and Climate Protection Task Force said, "Even as mayors were confronting budget constraints due to the recession and federal spending cuts, this report shows that cities leveraged EECBG dollars by making investments that are still paying dividends today. In my city, we are reducing electricity usage and making solid waste and sewage sludge operations more efficient. So, clearly, this modest federal commitment has bolstered mayors' efforts to advance energy efficiency, conservation and technology deployment initiatives in their cities."

Five years ago, as part of ARRA, EECBG formula grants were distributed directly to cities by the U.S. Department of Energy. Of the $2.7 billion provided to the program in formula funding, about half of these dollars ($1.3 billion) were distributed directly to cities to support their energy and climate efforts, a commitment that ranked among the largest provided to local governments in the ARRA legislation.

The Conference of Mayors conceived the EECBG Program to engage the federal government in supporting the nation's mayors in accelerating local energy and climate initiatives, especially the more than 1000 mayors who have joined as signatories to the Conference's Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, which was a landmark pledge for mayors all across the country to take bold action to significantly reduce carbon emissions in cities in alignment with Kyoto Protocol standards.

"The mayors who signed the USCM Climate Protection Agreement represent more than 86 million people in the U.S. who are learning how important it is to work locally to curb harmful greenhouse emissions and adapt to climate change," said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Co-Chair of the Conference's Energy Independence and Climate Protection Task Force. "The success mayors are having in deploying these resources makes the case for a stronger local-federal partnership on our nation's energy and climate challenges, including continued EECBG funding to support cities and local areas as they develop new energy solutions."

Last month, the Conference released a related report, Energy Efficiency and Technologies in America's Cities, which was unveiled during the USCM 82nd Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. at a session with mayors and U.S. Energy Secretary Moniz at the Capital Hilton. That survey can be found at usmayors.org/2014energysurvey.


About the United States Conference of Mayors:

Moves afoot "to unlock 'indigenous' capital, for $60.000.000.000 African energy project pipeline" - EN/CMR - Feb 18, 2014

- T. Creamer -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/moves-afoot-to-unlock-indi…

"High-level initiatives are under way to mobilise indigenous financial resources to support the implementation of priority cross-border African energy projects with a combined price tag of $60-billion.

The 15 power generation, electrical transmission and gas pipeline projects have already been endorsed by African Union Heads of State and Government for priority attention under the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa, or PIDA, which also encompassed a suite of transport, water and information and communication technology projects.

Speaking at the African Energy Indaba in Johannesburg on Tuesday New Partnership for Africa’s Development (Nepad) Planning and Coordinating Agency CEO Dr Ibrahim Mayaki argued that Africa had its own resources in the form of pension, sovereign and diaspora funds. However, enabling conditions had to be created to unlock these resources in support of regional infrastructure projects. In so doing, foreign direct investors would have greater confidence to partner with African governments on projects viewed as crucial to sustaining high levels of economic growth, while laying the platform for future industrialisation and job creation.

Mayaki, who is a former Niger Prime Minister, said the proposed creation of the African Development Bank’s (AfDB’s) Africa50 Fund was a “significant milestone”, which sent a “clear signal” that Africa was intent on dealing with its debilitating energy backlogs, which were shaving as much as two percentage points from yearly growth levels in some countries.

The fund was being created in a bid to shorten, from seven to three years, the time from project conception to financial close and was expected to incorporate both project development and project financing dimensions.

AfDB estimated that Africa50 would require an equity investment of $10-billion to enable it to attract the $100-billion worth of African and global capital to implement the PIDA projects. However, the immediate target was to raise $3-billion in equity capital, to establish the fund’s credibility with governments, private developers and financial markets.

A recent study, Mayaki noted, showed that improved governance in Africa had multiplied by five the level of domestic resources available to African governments over the past 12 years. But more work was required to unlock additional domestic capital.

An upcoming financing summit scheduled for Dakar, Senegal, in June would have a particular focus on domestic-resource mobilisation, but would also offer an opportunity for African decision-makers and investors to demonstrate a strong commitment to what was being termed “Africa’s energy revolution”.

Nepad Agency energy programme head Professor Mosad Elmissiry reported that a number of the PIDA energy projects had advanced beyond the feasibility-study stage and that he was optimistic that some might well reach financial close at the Dakar conference.

He refused to be drawn on which specific projects could be considered “shovel ready”, but stressed that implementation was currently the overarching priority for the Nepad Agency, which was overseeing a steering committee meeting in Johannesburg this week to map the way forward for a number of projects.

Elmissiry did confirm, however, that there had been material progress on interconnector projects in East and Southern Africa, as well as on a gas pipeline linking Nigeria and Algeria.

In addition, the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding between South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on the 4 500 MW Inga Three hydropower project was adding momentum to that much-vaunted, but much delayed, development. South Africa had agreed to procure 2 500 MW of the plant’s capacity, with the 2 000 MW balance to be used within DRC.

In a number of instances, specific Heads of State had been selected to champion projects, primarily in an effort to clear the political hurdles to implementation. “We tend to think, generally, that implementation is a technical function, but when the political will is not sufficiently infused in the technical process, then implementation finds a lot of obstacles,” Mayaki said – having Presidents personally accountable for implementation was designed to ensure a greater political-project alignment.

Of the $60-billion required to build the energy projects by 2020, the Nepad Agency estimated only about $10-billion could be sourced from government resources, with the balance having to be secured from the private sector or development financiers.

“Smooth and sustainable implementation will not be possible without adequate financial resources,” Mayaki averred, adding that the Nepad Agency was actively working with the African Union Commission and AfDB to enhance domestic resource mobilisaiton.

But besides unlocking indigenous financial resources the agency was also strongly urging African government to pursue regional solutions ahead of national programmes, as country-level solutions were typically not “optimal”.

“Regional projects are the most efficient economically and environmentally,” Mayaki added, while also emphasising the need to pursue multisectoral programmes ahead of monosectoral models.

“The classical thinking on solving Africa’s energy challenges is no longer working. From a continent level, we think the energy revolution has to be built on three key factors: the first one is looking at regional solutions; the second is mobilising domestic resources; and the third one is adopting a multisectoral approach.” "

Correct balance between insurance costs, risk key , in renewables projects funding - EN - Feb 21, 2014

- S. Burger, M. Zhuwakinyu -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/correct-insurance-portfoli…

"Balancing the costs of insurance against the risks involved in building a renewable-energy plant in South Africa has proven critical to securing funding for these projects, says Marsh Africa director Nicola Harris.

The experiences gleaned from renewable-energy projects in countries worldwide have resulted in the engineering risks being well understood and more easily assessed, which subsequently reduces the risks that banks face when funding such projects.

Banks seek surety of returns on the funds that they provide for renewable-energy projects, while renewable-energy developers want to control their costs, ensure that they make a profit and sustain the project throughout its life cycle.

A properly constituted insurance portfolio is a significant part of a viable financial model of a renewable-energy project, as it reduces the risks banks are exposed to and, thus, boosts the funding banks make available for these projects.

“A key part of the function of insurance advisers is critically reviewing the contracts to identify risks. “Insurance portfolios must maintain the balance between risk mitigation and costs. “Insurance cannot mitigate all the risks associated with renew-able-energy projects, but it can help make such projects bankable.”

Determining the realistic appetite for proposed projects and the risk profile the lenders are comfortable with enables the projects to become financially viable.

“While the renewable-energy industry is relatively new in South Africa, it is well established in many other countries, enabling South African lenders and financial institutions to use the data from these countries to assess the severity of risks inherent in such projects,” she says.

Marsh Africa draws on its global network of expertise in the renewable-energy sector, its local knowledge of insurance regulations and engineering risk experts to provide clients with the correct and balanced insurance portfolio, says Harris.

“Marsh Africa aims to provide insurance and risk advice for projects, from conception to operation, including designing and modifying the projects’ insurance programmes according to changes in risks or the financial and regulatory environment,” she says. "

Zitat von Popeye82: African governments warned against squeezing quick returns - MR, KINSHASA - Oct 17, 2012
www.miningreview.com/node/21553
www.randgoldresources.com/randgold/content/en/randgold/randg…

"Randgold Resources chief executive Mark Bristow has warned African governments that they risk damage to their economies by trying to squeeze quick returns from the mining companies in their countries.


Speaking at the DRC’s Mining and Energy Indaba, Bristow said current moves in a number of African countries to amend mining codes on terms less favourable to the mining companies were dangerously short-sighted, as they did not take into account the increased risk this might present to the long-term sustainability of the resources industry and its ability to contribute to job creation and economic development.

Bristow noted that when the Kibali gold mine poured its first gold, scheduled for the end of next year, it would rank as one of the largest gold mines in Africa and would be an economic boom to the whole of the DRC.

“To achieve that, we need the support of all our stakeholders in the DRC, including the government, as well as of our international investors,” he said.

“Over a projected lifetime of 16 years, it is anticipated that more than 50% of the net pre-tax value generated by the project will be distributed to the State in the form of taxes, royalties and dividends. The DRC will in fact receive more than the other shareholders who are financing 100% of the project. This figure does not reflect the jobs it will create or the money it will spend with local businesses.

“What’s important to note is that the estimates from our feasibility study are based on the DRC’s current mining code and fiscal parameters. Any drastic changes to these will have a negative impact on costs, profits and even the life of the mine,” Bristow pointed out.

He said that increasing the tax burden on those who had taken the risk of investing in the DRC would not only damage the country’s fledgling mining industry, it would also discourage future investors from developing new operations which would make profits, pay taxes and provide employment. “I need hardly tell you how damaging that would be to the growth of the DRC and its economy,” he added. "

Mining industry dogged , by get rich quick mentality : Franco Nevada (T.FNV) CEO - SH, TORONTO - Mar 3, 2014

- P. Kennedy -
www.stockhouse.com/news/natural-resources/2014/03/03/mining-…

"A get rich quick mentality on the part of the investors is putting undue pressure on the resource industry to achieve results that are often unrealistic , a mining conference was told Sunday.

Speaking to the PDAC’s annual convention in Toronto, Franco-Nevada Corp. (TSX: T.FNV, Stock Forum) Chief Executive Officer David Harquail said the global gold mining industry wrote off losses of $60 billion last year, even though there was no accompanying crash in commodity prices.

Harquail said part of the reason is that mining CEOs are struggling to meet the expectations of profit -hungry investors with short term horizons and a poor understanding of the hard realities associated with mine development.

“Too much capital is being deployed without a realistic understanding of the chances of success,’’ he said.

Harquail was speaking on the second day of the PDAC mining conference, which is expected to attract a crowd of 30,000 to the Toronto Convention Centre this week. Much of the talk will focus on the challenges facing a sector that was forced to swallow large writedowns last year..

An industry veteran and member of a well-known Canadian mining family, Harquail said the industry has seen significant changes in the amount of regulation that companies have to deal with following the Bre-X gold scandal in 1997.

The introduction of the National Instrument 43-101 standard of disclosure has eliminated some of the larger fraud and excess promotion that was feature of the sector 20 years ago, he said.

However, he warned that despite more regulation, mining companies still require long lead times to develop orebodies, that can be extremely costly, and more often than not, produce weak rates of return. It's why Harquail's former boss Seymour Schulich once described mining as "a mug's game.'

“As an equity investor in this business, you have to be really selective if you want to make any money,’’ he said.

Harquail said little has changed in the way that orebodies are assessed, meaning that the industry is still dependent on the drill bit, to determinel the value of the rock.

Due to the way that capital is allocated these days, he said, CEOs find themselves dealing with intermediaries such as hedge fund managers, who may be “scaring the hell ’ out of companies, that need financing. That marks a big change, from the days in the 1960s and 1970s, when companies tended to directly with investors.

“It’s not healthy for the industry,’’ he said.

Indeed, Dundee Capital Markets analyst Martin Martinbeeld said the get rich quick mentality helped to drive the gold price down last year as Exchange Traded Funds switched from physical bullion into equities during the S&P 500’s record breaking run.

Murenbeeld had been expecting the price of gold to average US$1,600 an ounce last year.

However, he said the sale of 881 tonnes of gold by Exchange Traded Funds in 2013 weighed heavily on prices, and after starting the year at US$1,700 an ounce, prices fell as low as US$1,212.75.

Murenbeeld is expecting prices to average around US$1,320 an ounce this year and US$1,420 in 2015.

Jeffrey Christian of the New York-based CPM Group LLC was equally cautious about the prospects for silver, which he saidwill a verage US$20.37 an ounce in 2014, down from the 2013 average of $25.75.

“It’s going to be a tough year,’’ said Phil Newman, CEO of CRU Strategies, a U.K.-based metals consulting group. “There are a lot of companies still running on fumes.’’

That view was shared by some of the other analysts who are scheduled to speak at the conference this week.

At the junior end of the market, the recent 15% rise the in the TSX Venture Exchange has lifted spirits in the industry, said Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings, a fund management group.

However, he doubs that the TSX Venture index will go much higher in the coming months. “I think the summer will be tough,’’ said Rule. “We are seeing insufficient opportunities to deploy capital,’’ he said. "

This revolutionary new process is now an integral part of Northern's drilling +exploration work on our Garrison Property +I'm impressed with the level +quality of service provided by Photonic Knowledge"; E. Roberge: "Core MAPPER's™ hyperspectral imaging is an application of a technology originally developed in the ´60's for remote sensing from aircraft +satellites that captures +analyzes information from across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Much as the human eye sees light in three bands(red, green +blue), spectral imaging divides the spectrum into many more bands +Core Mapper™ adapts this technology for use @the drill core scale with significantly higher resolution. The wavelength differences of absorbed +reflected light shone onto the core samples is analyzed in hundreds of very narrow bands down to a resolution of 2 nanometers , or 2 billionths of a meter of the visible +near infrared light spectrum. This technological application has a spatial precision of 1 square millimeter , much greater than a square meter as usually found in remote sensing .

Ukraine Accuses Russia of Armed Invasion, as Troops Land in Crimea - E.com - Feb 128, 2014

- Andrew Klips -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/economy-markets/economic-data-…

"A top Ukrainian official said on Friday that Russian aircraft transported about 2,000 suspected soldiers to a military airbase near the regional capital of Ukraine’s Crimea region.

"Thirteen Russian aircraft landed at the airport of Gvardeyskoye (near Simferopol) with 150 people in each one," Sergiy Kunitsyn, the Ukrainian president's special representative in Crimea, told the local ATR television channel. Kunitsyn added that the air space is now closed as he described the maneuver as an “armed invasion.”

The report of the invasion of the peninsula, which have yet to be confirmed, have not clarified whether or not agreements with Ukraine gave Russia the right to use the base or send additional troops into the country. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is based in Simferopol and Sevastopol. Soldiers in unidentified uniforms are reportedly patrolling the airstrip, buildings, communication centers and Crimea’s parliament.

According to interpretmag.com, “Interfax Ukraine reports that all air traffic is halted at the Belbek Airport in Sevastopol due to the seizure of the landing strip by unknown persons.”

“There are about 400 people now in the Belbek airport. They have occpuied the landing strip and any movement of planes is stopped,” said a source quoted by the website.

Ukraine’s acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said in a televised statement that Russia is trying to antagonize Ukraine into an armed conflict so it can annex Crimea. Turchynov urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “stop provocations and start negotiations.”

"China’s President Xi Jinping ordered a crackdown on “violent terrorist activities” following a mass knife attack at a train station in Kunming on March 1 in which 33 people died, Bloomberg reported.

Local officials in the southwestern city said evidence at the scene showed it was a terrorist attack orchestrated by Xinjiang separatist forces, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency. The assault, days before the annual meeting of the legislature in Beijing, highlights increasing tensions between the state and some ethnic groups including the mostly Muslim Uighur minority in Xinjiang.

"China became the largest trading nation in the world in 2013, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported, citing a Ministry of Commerce statement on Saturday.

China's goods trade topped US$4.16 trillion last year, including US$2.21 trillion in exports and US$1.95 trillion in imports, the statement said, referencing data compiled by the World Trade Organization. China now is the largest trade partner for over 120 countries and regions. This is a milestone in foreign trade for China as a developing country and a great achievement, said Yao Jian, ministry spokesman. "

Zitat von Popeye82: PyroGenesis' Canada - "Novel Steam Plasma Arc "SPARC" Destruction System exceeds 99.9999% Commercial Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances", a "10x greater Destruction Efficiency as compared to the current requirement"; Of note, "certain ODS's generate 10.000 times more Green House Gases, when compared to CO2 emissions"; Gillian Holcroft: "Because ODS's are acknowledged to be "some of the most difficult substances to destroy", the ability to achieve >99.9999% destruction is "a key milestone +puts PyroGenesis ahead of the curve, in an increasingly regulated industry." The use of a steam plasma torch "allows for increased destruction capabilities +now enables PyroGenesis to efficiently +safely destroy an array of other hazardous "difficult to manage" chemicals" " - Nov 13, 2013
www.newswire.ca/en/story/1261073/pyrogenesis-novel-steam-pla…


PyroGenesis "Contracted by "Global Oil &Gas Company" to "Develop Game Changing Plasma Based Process" "; Gillian Holcroft: "Plasma based processes are "unique in that we can achieve extremely high temperatures, without the use of fossil fuels." This flexibility "allows PyroGenesis +its Client to "explore" cost effective, environmentally friendly +state of the art "approaches" for Oil +Gas processing." "Once " the process is proven on a pilot scale the next step will be an on-site commercial demonstration @the Client's industrial operation."; PyroGenesis will design, deliver +test a high temperature plasma based process, "which eventually would be integrated into the Client's existing oil +gas process", which will be completed in ~6 months; P. Peter Pascali: "We "are proud to be associated with an organization who is recognized as a leading developer of energy resources around the world +who does so in an environmentally responsible manner." We appreciate the confidence our client has shown in our engineering team +our technology." This contract "further demonstrates PyroGenesis' ability to leverage its core competencies to develop novel plasma-based solutions." The "successful commercialization of this process "will" " generate revenues in excess of 100.000.000 dollars to PyroGenesis, while @the same time providing our customer with significant competitive advantages" " - Nov 18, 2013

PyroGenesis 'highlighted as "one of the key technology providers" on the world's most advanced High Tech Air Craft Carrier', the USS Gerald Ford(CVN-78) carrier was christened two weeks ago +is "the 1st of the most advanced class of aircraft carriers ever built" with the last carrier being delivered over 10 years ago. PyroGenesis' patented Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System(PAWDS) was highlighted as "one of the key advanced technologies featured on this "state of the art vessel" "; P. P. Pascali: "This is "indeed a great moment not only for PyroGenesis, but Canada as a whole. " To have our technology highlighted as the "green technology of choice, on one of the most advanced technology platforms in the world " is "clearly a defining moment for Canada"; akin to the deployment of the CanadaArm on the International space station. This is the 1st new aircraft carrier class since the USS Nimitz in `68, +America's 1st new carrier of any kind, since the USS George H.W. Bush was completed in `03. The USS Gerald R. Ford is the "1st-of-its-class carrier, ushering in an era of high-tech aircraft carriers." So far two of Pyrogenesis' PAWDS systems have been ordered, but if the Nimitz-class carriers +Enterprise were to be replaced on a one-for-one basis, eleven carriers would be required over the life of the program, representing a revenue stream to PyroGenesis of @least $50.000.000, +this does not include revenues from PAWDS land based applications", G. Holcroft: "PyroGenesis' system was "chosen in a highly competitive environment; its design is five times smaller +half the weight of a conventional marine incinerator." The launch of the USS Gerald Ford "reaffirms PAWDS as a "proven +state of the art solution for waste management, +underscores PyroGenesis' ability to handle extremely complex/hazardous waste challenges, that no other technology can contend with." As such PyroGenesis is expanding the use of PAWDS as a mobile land based waste destruction solution for hazardous liquid +gaseous wastes" - Nov 26, 2013

The system is "designed to transform all types of waste(without the need for pre-sorting) into useful products(electricity +construction material) without generating any hazardous by-products".

Reeves: "Resource delineation programmes @both our Malelane Iron Ore Project in South Africa +Nayega Manganese Project in Togo have returned impressive results +we are on track to deliver maiden resources @both projects in Q1 ´12 +Q2 ´12 respectively. @Malelane, in addition to high grade intersections such as 17.29m @59% Fe(61% CaFe), the recent drill programme has encountered unexpected high grade mineralisation @depth >500m away from the historically known high grade mineralisation, +highlights direct shipping ore(DSO) potential which we’ll further investigate through an additional drilling programme in Q2 ´12. I am also excited @the initial metallurgical test results which demonstrate the opportunity for significant capital +operating cost savings through the potential to pre-concentrate the ore to 55% CaFe via a crush or coarse grind. Savings should be achieved through lower power consumption +smaller plant requirements, +when combined with the proximity to existing transport infrastructure, both rail +port, improves the already compelling economic potential of this project. @Nayega pitting has confirmed the results of historic exploration +it is the Company’s belief that ore has the potential to be easily mined +upgraded via a low capex gravity plant. Importantly, this project also has the potential to supply significant early cash flow to the Company if the metallurgical testwork supports on-ground observations.

Ferrex shows that size DOESN'T always matter in the steel feed business - PAIUK - Mar 7, 2012

- Ian Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/39913/ferrex-sho…

"The recent turmoil in the small-cap sector has thrown up some odd valuation anomalies. A prime example of this is Ferrex(LON:FRX), the steel feed specialist that listed last summer just @the start of the shake-out.

The group has four projects +two routes to early cashflow. The management, meanwhile, has a record for value creation.

And in Malelane it has uncovered a low-cost iron ore deposit, with direct shipping potential, right in the sweet spot of South Africa’s transport infrastructure.

Managing director Dave Reeves leads a team that was previously involved in Afplats, Zimplats +Chromex.

Collectively they have sold businesses worth US$1.000.000.000 in the past +taken two major projects into production +one into development.

“So we have a very good track record of building projects, adding value +(negotiating) trade sales,” said Reeves.

“And that is something we want to emulate @Ferrex.”

The company’s flagship project is Malelane, although it might be pipped into production by the Nayega, a promising manganese deposit in Togo.

It is also active in manganese in South Africa, via a 49 per cent stake in the Leinster project in Northern Cape Province +in Mozambique’s Tete Province, where it can earn 80 per cent ownership of four licences held by Baobab Resources.

However, Malelane +Nayega are likely to be the newsflow +value drivers in the next few months.

The former is what Reeves calls an “orphan deposit”.

However, being only six kilometres from the nearest working railway +170 kilometres from the port of Maputo it boasts one crucial advantage over larger iron ore projects –infrastructure.

Being able to plug Malelane into the transportation system shaves a huge amount from the capital +operating costs of operation.

Giant deposits in the Tete region, or in western Africa, often require hundreds of miles of expensive roads +railroads, the construction of new ports alongside the creation of power facilities.

It means the steel feed business can often be a big boys game , so only the mining sector’s majors +perhaps the mini-majors take on the big assets.

“This whole play (Malelane) is about infrastructure ,” said Reeves.

“It is six kilometres from an electric railway +170 kilometres to the Port of Maputo.

“We don’t know anyone with working infrastructure like this . There are a lot of people who either have no access to infrastructure or are close to infrastructure that will require substantial capital to rehabilitate.

“Infrastructure can make up to 80 per cent of the capex of an iron ore project. So already we have a significant saving.”

Malelane has the potential to produce iron ore of a sufficient quality that it can be directly shipped for export.

It is also an “unusual deposit” in that the company is hitting high grade deposits near surface +@depth , Reeves said.

“We look like we are going to have some direct shipping ore,” he added.

“We are hitting high grade down @depth as well as @surface, which is unusual . It is normally just the surface material that is high grade.

“We are also getting very big runs of just under DSO grade -: for instance 200 metres @48 per cent +180 metres @49 per cent.”

The company is faced with a dilemma of selling a slightly lower quality ore of around 55 per cent iron, or investing heavily in plant +machinery to create a “more saleable” product.

Reeves said the Ferrex team will undertake a “trade-off” study +may progress the project in phases, commencing with the lower capex option +allowing this to fund the cleaner circuit .

“A slightly lower quality product requires <capex +means the project comes into production a lot quicker .”

Expect some very quick-fire progress @Malelane, with a maiden resource statement expected sometime this quarter, followed by more drilling +an upgrade in the 3rd quarter.

Ferrex hopes to have completed the pre-feasibility study by the year-end.

“We are only targeting 120.000.000 -150.000.000 tonnes resource,” said Reeves.

This is the quick route to production -120.000.000 tonnes equates to a mine life of 20 years based on extracting 6.000.000 tonnes, +shipping 3.000.000 tonnes of iron ore.

“We could drill out 1.000.000.000 tonnes. But it takes time +money +does NOT add to the project's economics. Many competitors need to drill out such resources to justify large scale production to pay off the substantial capital associated with the infrastructure, we are in the enviable position where we do NOT need to do this .

“Cash is king @the moment +we would prefer to put that cash into building the projects rather than building resources,” said the Ferrex MD.

Elsewhere, the Togo deposit is remarkable in that it extends from surface to around four metres below ground +the manganese is found embedded in clay as “nodules +fines”.

This means it is easy +cheap to extract(the estimated capital expenditure is “<US$20.000.000) +is a potential route to early cashflow.

The plan is to produce a modest 250.000 tonnes/year.

However, EVEN THIS relatively modest amount has the ability to generate a gross profit somewhere in the order of US$25.000.000/year .

A resource statement is expected from Nayega in the 2nd quarter, +the company has started metallurgical test work.

“If it(the metallurgy) comes up the way we feel it will, we will launch into the full bankable(feasibility study), which we aim to complete by the end of the year.

“That means we would be ready to make a development decision early next year. It also means it(Nayega) could be our 1st development project to get into production.”

The group is also on the look-out for potential acquisitions.

“We want one or two iron ore projects in the pipeline,” said the Ferrex boss.

“We are looking @West Africa. But we are chasing high grade, direct shipping ore which is close to infrastructure .

“These won’t be large tonnages. We are looking @the orphans of the iron ore world which we think we can get into production early +make a decent return."

"Investors have been warned to guard against fluctuations in the value of the yuan as China moves towards a market-based regime, South China Morning Post reported, citing the top currency regulator.

Speaking on Monday, Yi Gang, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, declined to respond to rising market speculation that Beijing was readying to widen the band in which the yuan traded, currently set at no more than 1% either side of the reference rate set by the central bank every day, saying instead that greater two-way movement should be expected as a more market-oriented trading regime took shape.

E-Waste Systems, Inc. Signs Joint Venture Project With National Recovery Technologies(NRT), which is "highly recognized worldwide for innovative sorting technologies in recycling","to Develop 'State-of-the-Art Sorting Facility' ", EWSI "Technological Expertise Continues to Expand"; The project "is designed to develop a pilot electronic waste sorting facility, as add-on to an existing EWSI location. The facility will utilize 'state-of-the-art detection techniques', to identify materials containing rare earth metals, such as neodymium +dysprosium within the e-waste stream. The rare earths will then be extracted, through innovative magnetic sorting, +further processed for recovery." NRT developed the technology with help from the Small Business Innovation Research(SBIR) program, meant to encourage small businesses to engage in research +development projects aimed @commercialization. NRT has already received its funding through the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in `13, for Automated Identification +Sorting of Rare Earth Elements in an E-Waste Stream. Most rare earth elements are mined through open pit mining, which involves opening the surface of the earth using heavy equipment +machinery. Creating this disruption on the surface of the earth makes mines the point source of release for three major contaminants: radionuclides, rare earth elements, +dust +metal in addition to disrupting thriving ecosystems. Each of these contaminants escapes the mines in different ways +they each have different detrimental effects on the environment1; Tracey Hartje: "We "are 'very enthusiastic +eager' to be part of the expanding EWSI brand we believe that being involved in this project takes one of our most innovative technologies to full commercial use. There is significant strategic value for both parties, +we are eager to commence with our initiatives" "; J.

We created technologies designed to mitigate those issues, +provide processes that are commercially viable"; Mr. Nielson: "EWSI's "objective is a global one +NRT has presence in 'many important world markets'. They opened a demo center in the Boji Science Park of Suzhou, China in `12, a European HQ through their parent company, Bulk Handling Systems(BHS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in `13, +continue to experience growth in their Tennessee operations. NRT exemplifies the highest health +environmental standards, combined with strong governmental as well as commercial support +interest". The EWSI portfolio of technologies +industry expertise "continues to expand, +the addition of this new proprietary system enables EWSI to deliver these new solutions on a 'global scale' ". Teaming with EWSI "provides access to network affiliates, 'proprietary technologies', including the ePlant1000, eWasteCC™, +eWasteTrack™, +committing to the highest industry standards, including zero landfill +the highest tier of health +safety concerns. EWSI brings technology, regulatory knowledge, industry experience, and an interwoven supply chain solution for the proper handling of high-end electronics recycling, +electronic waste materials recovery +reuse on a global scale" " - Feb 27, 2014

Green Automotive Company Announces the Launch of Its 100% Electric Shuttle Bus, in Las Vegas Mid February - Jan 28, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/01/28/green-auto…


Green Automotive's e-Patriot Electric Shuttle Bus "Benefits from 'Attractive Government Incentives' "; the electric shuttle bus "does not only allow a massive reduction in CO2 levels, but it also helps businesses and local authorities to work in a more cost efficient way." In addition to the "potential" savings in fuel costs(electricity is on average 80 % less than the cost of diesel/mile travelled), electric buses "benefit from a number of federal +state-based financial incentives that allow their owners to reduce significantly the Total Cost of Ownership(TCO)." Several US states "provide considerable funding for projects that reduce air pollution from on- +off-road vehicles, as well as tax incentives +have put in place laws +regulations to encourage the deployment of EVs." Here are 'just a few examples': in California the “Air Quality Improvement Program(AQIP) Hybrid +Zero-Emission Truck +Bus Voucher Incentive Project(HVIP)” provides vouchers to help California fleets purchase zero-emission trucks +buses. In addition the Motor Vehicle Registration Fee Program provides funding for projects that reduce air pollution from on- +off-road vehicles. The Colorado Energy Office +Regional Air Quality Council provide grants to support plug-in electric vehicle adoption in fleets. The Community Conservation Challenge(CCC) program, which the Indiana Office of Energy Development administers, offers grants ranging from $25.000 to $150.000 for community energy conservation efforts, including projects that deploy alternative fuel vehicles in fleets. 'One of the most attractive markets' for the e-Patriot is airport transport, as charging requirements can be met easily +operators benefit from the “Zero Emissions Airport Vehicle +Infrastructure Pilot Program” that provides funding to airports for 50% of the eligible cost to acquire zero emission vehicles - Feb 4, 2014

Other Modec users have also signed up, +Simon "now expects to roll the program out to cover other makes +models of electric vehicles": S. Hedley: "Since introducing E-Care, we’ve had a number of enquiries from other European countries to provide support, including Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark +Netherlands, +"it seems our ability to refurbish key EV components like batteries is part of a 'winning formula across Europe' "; I. Hobday: "This "is a "1st" step to rolling out our E-Care program globally, in a demand led fashion."

Greenearth "has 'breakthrough' in CO2 to fuel technology" - AI - Jan 24, 2014
www.theaustralianinvestor.com.au

"Greenearth Energy (ASX: GER) is a diversified Australian renewable energy company that has shifted its focus on conventional geothermal resources, to concentrate on a potentially world changing technology that could convert CO2 into a fuel. The company also focuses on an industrial efficiency business that is beginning to see positive cash flows.
On Tuesday 14th January, Greenearth Energy announced that it had completed stage one testing of the proof of concept system for the NewCO2Fuels project in Israel (NCF). The reaction from the market underlined the potential of the technology, should it successfully navigate the pathway to a commercial product.

The share price soared 240 per cent in the final two hours of trade after the announcement that revealed a breakthrough in its solar powered, carbon dioxide to fuel technology.

In passing the Stage one testing, NCF has now demonstrated that the technology successfully and effectively, dissociates CO2 into CO and oxygen in a heating environment.

The CO, or the mixture of CO and H2 (called Syngas) can be used as a gaseous fuel (for example in power plants), or converted to liquid fuel (such as methanol or other transportation fuels like diesel), which has the potential to be stored, transported and used in motor vehicles. The oxygen produced can be used in the combustion of the clean fuel, or elsewhere.

Managing Director of Greenearth Energy, Samuel Marks, excited the market stating, “this now proven concept has the potential to create, quite literally, a paradigm shift in the way society views and deals with our global CO2 challenges.”

In speaking with The Australian Investor, Mr Marks admitted it was “a lofty statement”, but one worthy of the potential of the technology.

“Whether there is a tax on CO2 or not, there seems to be very little question that it is something that scientists, politicians and the general population, doesn’t want to see omitted into the atmosphere.

“This process utilises captured CO2, that is effectively a waste product and uses it as feedstock.”

The system is based on a technology previously developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and exclusively licensed to NCF.

Greenearth Energy became involved in NewCO2 Fuels in 2011 and secured an exclusive worldwide Research and License Agreement. The group's investment is represented by a 50 per cent ownership.

“The Weizmann Institute of Science is a fascinating institute made up of a scientific research arm and a commercialisation arm called Yeda.” says Mr Marks.

Over the next two months, the company says the stage two testing is on course to further establish the final proof of concept, which encompasses two additional targets - increasing the dissociation rate by a factor of 4, an 800 fold increase in the dissociating rate, and driving the system using a solar based heat source.

“Obviously by using solar it then becomes 100 per cent renewable,” he says.

“What is exciting about this stage is that the results we are seeing mean this could be financially and commercially viable, irrespective of a price on Carbon, at a level never seen anywhere in the world before.”

The Syngas produced from the process “which simplistically is like natural gas with a high calorific value” can be tuned into methanol or diesel fuel according to Mr Marks.

“So if you compare what is currently used for diesel fuel, which is petroleum based, there is a step change where we would no longer be using a fossil fuel. "[/quote]

PDAC: Calgary firm(V.USO) "says it has solution , to oil sands pollution problem" - SH/PDAC - Mar 5, 2014

- Peter Kennedy -
www.stockhouse.com/news/natural-resources/2014/03/05/pdac-ca…

"Who "knew that zest from an orange peel could "potentially "be a low-cost solution to pollution in the oil sands industry?"

U.S. Oil Sands, (TSX: V.USO, Stock Forum) a Calgary-based company with project in Utah, said it has developed technology to recover bitumen from oil sands without producing all of the solids and chemical waste, that need to be dumped into tailings pond.

U.S. Oil Sands, which traded at 13 cents Tuesday has a market cap of $110.9 million, based on 853 million shares outstanding. The 52-week range is 24 cents and 7 cents.

The company plans to deploy the technology at a bitumen mine in Utah, which "it "hopes" will produce 2,000 barrels of oil per day, for a fraction of the high costs that normally go with large projects in the Alberta oilsands."

“We plan to be in production by the middle of 2015,’’ said U.S. Oil Sands Chief Executive Cameron Todd during an interview with Stockhouse.

Todd and U.S. Oil Sands President Glen Snarr were attending the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in a bid to raise the company’s profile with investors.

Major oilsands producers deploy a method called the Clark Hot Water Extraction process, which was developed in the 1920s. It leads to the production of a toxic mix of residual water, solids, and added chemicals which are not easily disposed of and have created the need for massive tailings ponds to store the waste.

The problem is that heavy oil doesn’t separate from water easily. So the Clark process uses a caustic soda that produces a soap-like material and later a sludge that has to be stored in tailings ponds.

But U.S. Oil Sands says it has developed a proprietary extraction process that involves the use of biodegradable, non-toxic solvent derived from citrus products , including oranges .

The solvent from oranges is mixed with oil sands and hot water. Todd said the solvent is a degreaser that removes the oil from sediment. It can do this without producing the sludge that needs to be stored in waste ponds.

“We have been working on this for over 15 years, both as individuals and as a company, ‘’ said Todd.

U.S. Oil Sands is hoping to put its Utah mine into production for a cost of $50 million, or $25,000 per barrel of oil of cap ex, he said. By comparison, Todd said it cost Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM, Stock Forum) and Imperial Oil $12.9 billion to put the Kearl Lake oil sands project in Alberta into production at a cap ex price-tag of $110,000 .

The company has the financing to meet its goals after raising $81 million late last year. "

Coal will make up 70 per cent of world energy mix: BHP; BHP Billiton chief Andrew Mackenzie says >70 per cent of the world’s energy will be supplied by fossil fuels by 2030, as countries boosted economic growth +pulled people out of “abject poverty” - MA/BHPB/TA - Mar 5, 2014

- V. Validakis, A. Mackenzie -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/coal-will-make-up-70-per-cen…

" BHP Billiton chief executive Andrew Mackenzie says more than 70 per cent of the world’s energy will be supplied by fossil fuels in 2030 as countries boosted economic growth and pulled people out of “abject poverty”.

In a speech at a Houston energy convention, Mackenzie said world-wide demand for energy would increase by 30 per cent in the next twenty years, with much of this expected to come from China and India.

He said growing Asian economies would have easier access to large coal reserves than cheap gas and said fossil fuels would remain the main source of affordable energy.

Developing nations would require improved access to fuel in order to grow their economies and pull people out of poverty Mackenzie said.

He said switching to other fuel sources was simply not an option for some nations.

“I think many people who criticise fossil fuels - and crucified individual fossil fuels - assume that every country has a very easy choice to switch fuels,” he told The Australian.

“And that is not the case ... If you say to many of those countries, and particularly a lot of countries in Asia and I would add Africa, ‘You have to reject fossil fuels and you have to simply survive or even reject coal, and you have to survive on just gas’, then I can tell you now, because of the high cost of those fuels, that those countries will almost certainly be condemned to a much longer phase before they can lift their citizens out of abject poverty. And I’m a great believer that poverty of that level ultimately is quite a serious polluter.”

It is estimated around 1.3 billion people have no access to electricity and 2.6 billion still cook and heat with dung or scavenged timber.

The industry has long argued there a very few commercially reliable and affordable solutions for base load energy supply without coal, and said calls by environmentalists to extinguish the industry lost site of the fact that a suite of energy solutions are required.

“We must address energy poverty and climate change together. Any attempt to solve one without the other is destined to fail,” Mackenzie said.

Mackenzie said a sensible policy mix was needed, stating he did give conditional support to carbon pricing mechanisms.

“The geological record provides compelling evidence that substantial variation in CO2 and other greenhouse gases result in temperature changes with potentially significant implications for life on Earth," he said.

Calling for a four point approach, Mackenzie said constructive policies with appropriate carbon pricing mechanisms were required to ensure to industry could find cost-effective ways to lower emissions.

While Mackeznie sees gas as having the strongest growth, he watered down claims the US shale gas revolution would go global rapidly

““Despite what many claim, we are unlikely to see gas replace coal globally at the scale and pace seen here in the US,” Mackenzie said.

He said renewables would also grow quickly, but could only be relied on when energy storage was available. "

The " "potential " of FHACT™ to provide more accurate +earlier detection of HPV-associated cancers +pre-cancers can save valuable time in the testing process, while creating substantial cost savings for the healthcare system"."; Although ~90% of HPV infections will be cleared within 2 years, a minority of precancerous lesions will progress to a higher-grade lesion. Women diagnosed with LSIL(low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions) have a marginally higher risk of progression, +current high-risk HPV testing does not provide additional benefit in risk assessment for cancer. It is in these clinical settings where the integration of additional genetic biomarkers in the triage process is needed to limit unnecessary colposcopies +excisional procedures +to identify those women with lesions that are @risk of progressing to a higher grade cervical cancer; CGI's non-invasive FHACT™ test "provides genomic information directly from leftover liquid cytology +does not require additional office visits."

Amid slowdown, China sets 7.5% GDP target - CER/BB - Mar 5, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65340

"China retained a 7.5% economic growth target for 2014, Bloomberg reported, citing a work report that Premier Li Keqiang will deliver to the annual meeting of the legislature on Wednesday.

The GDP target signals limits on the Chinese leadership’s efforts to curb pollution and credit expansion, suggesting that the government will do whatever is necessary to prevent growth from slowing down. Maintaining a pace of expansion close to last year’s 7.7% would help sustain demand for oil and iron ore and support the global economy. "

EU proposes scheme to certify mineral imports, blood-free - MW/R - Mar 5, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/eu-proposes-scheme-to-certify-m…

"Importers of minerals from conflict zones will be able to certify their goods have not financed warlords under a European scheme proposed on Wednesday, but rights groups said it was too timid to stop the trade in 'blood metals'.

Much of the gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten used in electronics and lighting is mined in areas of civil conflict in Africa.

The European Union, which increasingly requires trading partners to adopt political and human rights reforms, wants to pressure importers to boycott the violent militias that control the raw materials.

"We are committed to preventing international trade in minerals from intensifying or perpetuating conflict," EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a joint statement.

Under the EU's voluntary scheme, which could come into force by the end of next year, the approximately 420 companies that import all minerals for the 28-nation bloc could seek EU certification that their goods are conflict-free.

What's more, companies such as Apple or Siemens that source metals from certified importers would be eligible to bid for lucrative contracts across the EU's many governments and institutions.

In the US, the Dodd-Frank Act already obliges US stock exchange-listed companies to disclose the use of minerals from an African conflict zone in their supply chains.

Rights group Amnesty International said the EU proposal fell short of expectations and that only binding legislation requiring a wide range of EU-based companies to do checks on their supply chains would work.

"Without a clear EU law that requires companies to do due diligence and report publicly on it, the European Commission will fail to bring EU companies up to the same responsible sourcing standards as their American competitors," Amnesty said.

EurAc, a campaign group working in central Africa, said the EU proposal was simply "not a sufficient response" to stop the commercialisation of conflict minerals.

European officials say that creating an EU version of US law could lead importers to abandon Africa altogether and plunge honest mining communities in those areas deeper into poverty.


AVOIDING AN AFRICAN BOYCOTT

The European Commission, the EU executive, says the US law already pressures companies to avoid buying conflict minerals.

Some listed companies have switched their suppliers to Australia, depressing the price of minerals such as tin by half in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, according to one EU official who has travelled to the region.

The Commission says its proposal, which must be approved by EU governments and the European Parliament, compliments the Dodd-Frank Act by targeting importers into the European Union, one of the world's biggest markets for tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.

"Before the minerals get spread across Europe to hundreds and thousands of factories to be used in millions of products, we focus on a critical point in the EU supply chain, the importers of these minerals," De Gucht told a news conference. "That is realistic to control."

The US defines the conflict mineral zone as the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring countries including Angola and South Sudan. They make up 17% of the global production of tantalum, 4% of the global production of tin, 3% of tungsten and 2% of gold.

The European Union says its proposal is not limited to sub-Saharan Africa and could be applied across the world to places such as Colombia, where militias control some remote gold regions.

The scheme does not cover diamonds because the European Union is already part of the 50-member Kimberley Process, a government, industry and civil society initiative set up in 2002 to control the use of rough diamonds that fund rebel movements and human rights abuses.

But the EU proposal could be extended to other minerals and also could become mandatory after three years if there is enough support within the bloc.

Officials in Brussels estimate that implementing the certification scheme will cost each importer about €13 500, or less than 1% of annual turnover."

"China said on Wednesday it would increase the defense budget by 12.2% this year to US$131.57 billion (RMB808.23 billion), its biggest rise in military spending in three years, Reuters reported.

The 2014 military budget, the first for President Xi Jinping, reflects China's interest in developing more high-tech weapons and beefing up coastal and air defenses. The spending jump is the biggest since a rise of 12.7% in 2011, signaling that the government is not about to back away from its growing assertiveness in Asia, especially in disputed waters. "

SurePure Announces Commercial Deal, with 'Major Liquid Egg Producer' - Nov 6, 2013
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2013/11/06/surepure-a…


SurePure Announces Launch of Premium "Sulphur Free" Wines by Winemaker Using SurePure Technology, Neil Patterson Wines(NPW) has launched a premium range of no sulphite added wines using SurePure's patented photopurification technology. NPW employs SurePure's photopurification technology to microbiologically purify wine using ultra violet light instead of having to add sulphur-compounds to stabilise the wine. This not only provides a 'greener' alternative to traditional preservative methods, but also ensures a less harmful alternative to traditional chemical intervention for the consumer. The range of wines, which will be available @speciality wine merchants +in select restaurants, includes both younger wines as well as older, more matured wines including a 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, a 2012 Chenin Blanc, a 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, +a 2009 Merlot all sourced from single vineyards in different terroirs that are suited to the cultivars +to the particular style of wines Patterson was seeking to craft; Mr. Patterson: "We are pleased to be entering into an agreement with SurePure "as I believe there is significant market demand for a premium range, that offers high quality sulphite free wines for discerning wine drinkers who are searching for the ideal unpreserved 'green' alternative" "; According to Mr. Patterson, the range has under 10 parts per million of sulphites, which are produced naturally during fermentation, compared to the average of 80 to 120ppm normally found in wines; Steve Miller: "The launch of the Neil Patterson Wine range "marks the 1st time a full range of premium wines has been specifically tailored using the SurePure technology." It is "exciting for SurePure because it shows how a talented winemaker can use the SurePure technology as part of his wine crafting skillset, to extract the very best out of each varietal +still deliver the benefits of extraordinarily low sulphite levels to the consumer." We "believe it has pushed new boundaries for the technology +its oenological applications +with both fresh young wines +older, more matured wines under the same brand." This launch "paves the way for broader acceptance +use of the technology in the wine industry" " - Dec 3, 2013

SurePure Announces Commercial Deal, with a "global leader in specialty plant-based natural ingredients"; Wide Range of Industries Embody Innovative Use of SurePure's Photopurification Technology; Within the last year, SurePure has announced several agreements with companies in the wine, dairy, +liquid egg industries in which each company has employed its technology to improve, purify +/or extend shelf life of their respective products; To provide additional details on today's announcement, SurePure "demonstrated the efficacy of its technology, which uses UV light energy as opposed to heat, was exemplified in trials that have provided a significant reduction(Log 4) in yeasts +moulds in Spirulina extract rich in phycocyanine, without inducing any modification of product intrinsics, particularly the colouring capability"; Mr. Guy Kebble: "We are very pleased with the results of our trial work with a significant manufacturer +marketer of natural ingredients for the food, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, +cosmetic industries +the positive response it has had on their products, using our technology. This "is yet another novel +highly beneficial application of the SurePure photosterilization technology" " - Jan 31, 2014

SurePure Announces Developments in Non-Thermal Processing of Potato Rinse Water; spokesperson: "Potato processing plants are amongst the most water-intensive in the world. Rinse water has proven particularly difficult to clean microbiologically, because its heavy starch load makes it impossible to use traditional thermal pasteurization techniques. In order to rinse potato products thoroughly, huge amounts of clean water have to be used +then dumped. This is both costly +environmentally unsound. Rinse water can carry quite significant microbiological loads. Salmonella, ecoli +other pathogens are also often present, as a result of soil or fertilizer residues. It is crucial to rinse well, but increasingly important to conserve water. The "non-thermal SurePure system offers a real 'breakthrough', to potato chip producers" " - Feb 26, 2014

SurePure Announces Further Flavor Preservation Application +Technology Sale to Soda King, a "leading South African beverage producer", +South African Producer of Fruit Juice, Carbonated Soft Drinks, Water +Non-alcoholic Malt Drinks; spokesman: "SurePure's purification process "is gaining traction in the flavor world. The benefits of microbiological cleanliness, enhanced shelf-life +color preservation, without the downsides of sensorial degradation, are underscored by low operational costs +sparing energy usage". We " "believe" that the ability to produce consumer food products+beverages without preservatives will increasingly weigh in favor of the adoption of SurePure's technology" " - Mar 6, 2014

http://oakridgetoday.com/2014/02/03/ornl-local-motors-agree-…

"3D printing is slow; so slow that printing an object several feet long is an arduous task that can take days. As a result, most 3D printers are tailored to printing small objects that take a few hours at most.




That could change for industrial-sized printers after the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and machine tool manufacturer Cincinnati Incorporated signed an agreement this month, 3Dprint.com reported today. The partnership will focus on creating a 3D printer capable of printing objects at 200-500 times the speed and 10 times the size of most current printers.

ORNL and Cincinnati Inc. will build the printer by adapting an existing Cincinati Inc. laser cutting machine to include 3D printing hardware. Instead of relying on spools of string-like plastic, it will rely on pellets of an unnamed polymer.

Pellets are both a cheaper and more flexible source of “ink” for a 3D printer. But they are currently very rarely used. Powders and liquid resin are generally the materials of choice industrial-scale, relatively fast printers.

This is not ORNL’s only venture into 3D printing. The lab announced earlier this month that it will pair with Local Motors to create a 3D printed vehicle . "

E-Waste Systems, Inc. Signs Joint Venture Project With National Recovery Technologies(NRT), which is "highly recognized worldwide for innovative sorting technologies in recycling","to Develop 'State-of-the-Art Sorting Facility' ", EWSI "Technological Expertise Continues to Expand"; The project "is designed to develop a pilot electronic waste sorting facility, as add-on to an existing EWSI location. The facility will utilize 'state-of-the-art detection techniques', to identify materials containing rare earth metals, such as neodymium +dysprosium within the e-waste stream. The rare earths will then be extracted, through innovative magnetic sorting, +further processed for recovery." NRT developed the technology with help from the Small Business Innovation Research(SBIR) program, meant to encourage small businesses to engage in research +development projects aimed @commercialization. NRT has already received its funding through the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in `13, for Automated Identification +Sorting of Rare Earth Elements in an E-Waste Stream. Most rare earth elements are mined through open pit mining, which involves opening the surface of the earth using heavy equipment +machinery. Creating this disruption on the surface of the earth makes mines the point source of release for three major contaminants: radionuclides, rare earth elements, +dust +metal in addition to disrupting thriving ecosystems. Each of these contaminants escapes the mines in different ways +they each have different detrimental effects on the environment1; Tracey Hartje: "We "are 'very enthusiastic +eager' to be part of the expanding EWSI brand we believe that being involved in this project takes one of our most innovative technologies to full commercial use. There is significant strategic value for both parties, +we are eager to commence with our initiatives" "; J. Rich: "Sorting e-waste streams has its own set of challenges + risks, @a level separate from anything else in the world of waste management. We created technologies designed to mitigate those issues, +provide processes that are commercially viable"; Mr. Nielson: "EWSI's "objective is a global one +NRT has presence in 'many important world markets'. They opened a demo center in the Boji Science Park of Suzhou, China in `12, a European HQ through their parent company, Bulk Handling Systems(BHS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in `13, +continue to experience growth in their Tennessee operations. NRT exemplifies the highest health +environmental standards, combined with strong governmental as well as commercial support +interest". The EWSI portfolio of technologies +industry expertise "continues to expand, +the addition of this new proprietary system enables EWSI to deliver these new solutions on a 'global scale' ". Teaming with EWSI "provides access to network affiliates, 'proprietary technologies', including the ePlant1000, eWasteCC™, +eWasteTrack™, +committing to the highest industry standards, including zero landfill +the highest tier of health +safety concerns. EWSI brings technology, regulatory knowledge, industry experience, and an interwoven supply chain solution for the proper handling of high-end electronics recycling, +electronic waste materials recovery +reuse on a global scale" " - Feb 27, 2014

China money market rates fall to 20-month low - CER/BB/PBoC - Mar 7, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65353

"China’s benchmark money-market rate fell to a 20-month low on Thursday, Bloomberg reported, citing a statement by the country's central bank.

The People’s Bank of China sold US$8.2 billion (RMB50 billion) of 28-day repurchase agreements and US$7 billion of 14-day repos today, bringing net withdrawals for the week to US$11.5 billion. The seven-day repurchase rate, a gauge of funding availability, slid 133 basis points, or 1.33 percentage points, to 2.48% in Shanghai. Liquidity is expected to remain abundant for now as policymakers push for more two-way volatility in the yuan. "

The fund is preparing to raise initial capital this year as nations struggle to meet a target to limit global warming. "

China's February exports drop 18.1%, year-on-year - CER/R - Mar 10, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65365

"A sharp drop in China's exports in February swung the country's trade balance into a deficit and fueled fears of an economic slowdown, Reuters reported, citing a statement by the General Administration of Customs on Saturday.

Exports in February fell 18.1% from a year earlier, following a 10.6% jump in January. A series of factory surveys since the start of 2014 indicate weakness in economic activity as demand falters at home and abroad. Analysts cautioned that the long Lunar New Year holiday may be distorting the single-month figures for January or February. "

The heavily indebted solar equipment-maker had warned on Tuesday that it wouldn't be able to meet interest payments totaling US$14.7 million (RMB 89.8 million), citing a credit squeeze and its inability to raise enough funds to make the interest payments. So far, the Chinese government and state-owned banks have largely kept risky borrowers afloat. "

Weak China Export Data Prompts Sell-Off, for Iron Ore +Copper Miners - E.com - Mar 10, 2014

- Michael Teague -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/futures-commodities/weak-china…

"Stocks were trading lower from the outset of Monday’s trading session as investors were unnerved by Chinese trade data released on March 8. The data indicated that exports out of the world’s number-two economy declined by over 18 percent compared to February of 2013, a far cry from the 7.5 percent increase that economists had been expecting.

The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) that replicates the performance of the index of the same name was off by over two percent shortly before the closing bell in reaction to the news, as copper futures were off by nearly 2 percent. The spot price for iron ore took a hit as well, shedding over 8 percent for the metal’s largest single-day decline in nearly 5 years.

China’s economy has been a growing concern as a decade of rapid expansion appears to be cooling off, and metals producers have been bracing themselves for lower iron ore and copper prices for some time. But while February’s export data is just the most recent in a series of indicators reflecting the new growth environment, it is also the most worrisome to date.

As the spot price for iron ore fell to $104.70 per tonne, it’s lowest since late 2012. Copper futures for delivery in May were off by 1.5 percent to $3.04 per pound, many industrial metals producers were watching their shares sell off on volume well above their respective 3-month averages.

Canada’s Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (TRQ) had been on a tear, adding about 20 percent in the current quarter, but was off nearly 3 percent to under $4 per share on 2.5 times average volume. The $4 billion company’s main project is the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in Southern Mongolia.Turquoise’s parent company, UK-based industry giant Rio Tinto plc (RIO) , who sells a great deal of its iron ore to China, was also off nearly 3 percent to just under $52 per share on 1.5 times normal activity.

US-based Cliff’s Natural Resources (CLF) , often thought of as a coal company despite the fact that the vast majority of its overall output consists of iron ore, for its part was off by 5 percent to $17.75 per share on 1.5 times volume. The company has had a rough 2014 as it is, with the stock losing some 30 percent of its share-price on the year, prompting activist shareholders to force a breakup of the business despite the fact that most of its operations are substantially exposed to the Chinese economy.

Other heavy hitters were also suffering in Monday’s session, with the mighty BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) off by 3 percent to $64.70, Vale S.A. (VALE) also off by 3 percent to $12.65, and Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) down over 4 percent to $4.60. "

Gabon, Morocco sign natural resources development agreements - MW - Mar 10, 2014

- N. Greve -
www.miningweekly.com/article/gabon-morocco-sign-natural-reso…

" West African State Gabon and North African counterpart Morocco have signed two agreements which establish foundations for the development of an ambitious common policy for the enhancement of each country’s respective natural resources.

The first agreement was intended to consolidate a strategic partnership to develop an industrial fertiliser industry, while the second provided for cooperation with regard to training and information sharing between the respective countries’ mining sectors.

Gabonese Mines Minister Régis Immongault said in a statement that the agreements signed with Morocco were “totally” in line with Gabon’s new policy to improve the management of its natural resources.

“By counting on the existing synergies between our countries, we are planning to both optimise natural resources exploration and extraction and upgrade them by creating a local processing industry,” added Société Equatoriale des Mines (SEM) CEO Fabrice Nzé-Békalé.

State-owned, but privately managed, SEM was established in 2011 to facilitate the management of the Gabonese mining industry in conjunction with the Ministry of Mines.


INDUSTRIAL FERTILISER INDUSTRY

The bilateral agreement relating to the industrial fertiliser industry would look to develop Morocco and Gabon’s “extensive” phosphate and natural gas resources.

SEM noted that Morocco boasted large phosphates resources, which were exclusively exploited by phosphate processing company the OCP Group, while Gabon had large reserves of natural gas and potential resources in phosphates and potash.

According to a 2010 review by energy group British Petroleum, Gabon had more than 30-billion metres cubed of proved natural gas.

“The government is currently conducting a proactive policy for the exploitation of such reserves through the implementation of a master plan and the creation of a Code of Oil providing investors with a more attractive environment,” SEM stated.

“The development of a petrochemicals industry and the production of electricity are currently the priority markets for the use of such natural gas.”

Gabon and Morocco’s upgrading of such large resources through a joint structure would allow the creation of an integrated industry for the production of fertilisers.

The agreement provided that such a joint venture would be based both in Gabon and Morocco, and that it would be “totally” integrated as it would cover all related beneficiation activities, from mining production to the marketing of fertilisers, including the production of ammonia and phosphoric acid.


MINING INDUSTRY ACCELERATION

The second agreement was signed between SEM and Morocco’s National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), which established a scientific and technical partnership between the countries.

Faced with the quick development of mining activity in Gabon, SEM was “concretely” planning to take advantage of the experience and expertise gained by the ONHYM in the mining and oil industries.

The fields of practical cooperation would include training and the sharing of experience, particularly with regard to mining research, exploration techniques, information systems, database organisation, laboratory techniques, investment management and environmental issues.

The parties would also look to the potential joint development of mining exploration projects and cooperation in the fields of governance and mining sector management. "

Greenearth "has 'breakthrough' in CO2 to fuel technology" - AI - Jan 24, 2014
www.theaustralianinvestor.com.au

"Greenearth Energy (ASX: GER) is a diversified Australian renewable energy company that has shifted its focus on conventional geothermal resources, to concentrate on a potentially world changing technology that could convert CO2 into a fuel. The company also focuses on an industrial efficiency business that is beginning to see positive cash flows.
On Tuesday 14th January, Greenearth Energy announced that it had completed stage one testing of the proof of concept system for the NewCO2Fuels project in Israel (NCF). The reaction from the market underlined the potential of the technology, should it successfully navigate the pathway to a commercial product.

The share price soared 240 per cent in the final two hours of trade after the announcement that revealed a breakthrough in its solar powered, carbon dioxide to fuel technology.

In passing the Stage one testing, NCF has now demonstrated that the technology successfully and effectively, dissociates CO2 into CO and oxygen in a heating environment.

The CO, or the mixture of CO and H2 (called Syngas) can be used as a gaseous fuel (for example in power plants), or converted to liquid fuel (such as methanol or other transportation fuels like diesel), which has the potential to be stored, transported and used in motor vehicles. The oxygen produced can be used in the combustion of the clean fuel, or elsewhere.

Managing Director of Greenearth Energy, Samuel Marks, excited the market stating, “this now proven concept has the potential to create, quite literally, a paradigm shift in the way society views and deals with our global CO2 challenges.”

In speaking with The Australian Investor, Mr Marks admitted it was “a lofty statement”, but one worthy of the potential of the technology.

“Whether there is a tax on CO2 or not, there seems to be very little question that it is something that scientists, politicians and the general population, doesn’t want to see omitted into the atmosphere.

“This process utilises captured CO2, that is effectively a waste product and uses it as feedstock.”

The system is based on a technology previously developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and exclusively licensed to NCF.

Greenearth Energy became involved in NewCO2 Fuels in 2011 and secured an exclusive worldwide Research and License Agreement. The group's investment is represented by a 50 per cent ownership.

“The Weizmann Institute of Science is a fascinating institute made up of a scientific research arm and a commercialisation arm called Yeda.” says Mr Marks.

Over the next two months, the company says the stage two testing is on course to further establish the final proof of concept, which encompasses two additional targets - increasing the dissociation rate by a factor of 4, an 800 fold increase in the dissociating rate, and driving the system using a solar based heat source.

“Obviously by using solar it then becomes 100 per cent renewable,” he says.

“What is exciting about this stage is that the results we are seeing mean this could be financially and commercially viable, irrespective of a price on Carbon, at a level never seen anywhere in the world before.”

The Syngas produced from the process “which simplistically is like natural gas with a high calorific value” can be tuned into methanol or diesel fuel according to Mr Marks.

“So if you compare what is currently used for diesel fuel, which is petroleum based, there is a step change where we would no longer be using a fossil fuel. "

New credit slows, as regulators target shadow banking - CER/BB/PBoC - Mar 11, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65370

"The mainland's broadest measure of new credit, total social financing (TSF), slowed in February to US$153 billion (RMB938.7 billion), the People's Bank of China said on Monday, compared with RMB1.07 a year ago and the RMB1.31 trillion median estimate of analysts surveyed, Bloomberg reported.

A decrease in non-banking loans, which fuel China's shadow banking sector, accounted for much of the slowdown. Non-bank financing fell to 17% of TSF compared to 42% the year before. "Off-balance-sheet activity has been curtailed and contained," said Ding Shuang, senior China economist at Citigroup, noting that the policy stance would make China's 7.5% GDP target challenging . "

"The Pentagon has discovered Chinese-made components in major US weaponry, including Boeing's (BA.NYSE) B-1B bomber and certain Lockheed Martin (LMT.NYSE) F-16 fighters, Reuters reported, citing the US Defense Department.

A senior US defense official said titanium mined in China may also have been used to build part of a new Standard Missile-3 IIA being developed jointly by Raytheon (RTN:NYSE) and Japan. US law bans weapons makers from using raw materials from China, among other countries. It was reported in January that the Pentagon had permitted Lockheed to use Chinese magnets to keep the US$392 billion F-35 program on track . "

Snowden calls encryption “defense against the dark arts”; Average people "are not going to use Tor +other tools used by the tech community, says Edward Snowden. That's why widespread encryption is 'our best hopes' to counter mass government surveillance" - GO - Mar 10, 2014

- J. J. Roberts -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/10/snowden-calls-encryption-defens…

"Encrypting our communications is the best way to thwart mass government surveillance programs, according to fugitive whistle blower Edward Snowden, who appeared via live-stream at the SXSW tech festival in Austin on Monday.

Snowden, whose leaks have exposed secret data collection operations between the NSA and major U.S. companies, claims that is impossible for specific individuals to hide from the government, but that encryption will render the current practice of mass surveillance expensive and impractical.

“Encryption is the defense against the dark arts for the digital realm,” Snowden said, appearing against a backdrop of the Constitution, and protected by what he described as “7 proxies” – an apparent allusion to a 4Chan meme.

Snowden’s remarks came as part of a public discussion with ACLU lawyer Christopher Soghoian over how to take privacy techniques employed by tech enthusiasts — which Snowden described as “firefighters” who can oppose those who are “setting fire to the future of the internet” – and make them accessible to average people.

“Most regular people are not going to go out and download an obscure encryption app,” noted Snowden, adding that large companies can easily take steps to help their customers communicate in a more secure fashion. He cited Google’s decision in 2010 to add SSL to its services, which “made passive surveillance much more difficult.”

Snowden also singled out two government officials, the NSA’s Michael Hayden and Keith Alexander, for doing more harm to the internet and U.S. national security than anyone else. He claimed the men make a strategic mistake by reconfiguring NSA cyber operations into an offensive rather than a defensive role, and that attacks launched by the agency have hurt privacy without making the country any safer.

“When you have a vault that’s more full than anyone else’s, it does’t make sense to attack. When you set the standards for vaults worldwide, it makes no sense to have a big backdoor,” he said, an allusion to the NSA’s controversial practice of compromising global encryption standards so the agency can tap into devices and networks.

In addition to urging major tech companies to offer encryption as a common feature, Snowden also suggested Tor as a way to preserve privacy, although he acknowledged such tools are still beyond the capacity of average internet users.

Snowden also took questions via Twitter, including one from my colleague David Meyer, and received multiple ovations from a partisan crowd. The overall discussion hewed closely to tech topics, and did not broach geopolitical questions such as the relative moral standings of governments like China or Russia, where Snowden is now taking refuge.

Google to release SDK, for Android-powered wearables; Google executive Sundar Pichai said the company has plans to release a software development kit, to bring Android to wearables - GO - Mar 11, 2014

- A. Colon -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/10/google-to-release-sdk-for-andro…

"Google’s Android operating system already powers countless phones and tablets (as well as a few TVs), but it might soon be coming en masse to another location: Your wrist. According to The Verge, Google SVP of Android and Chrome Sundar Pichai told the crowd at SXSW on Sunday that Google has plans to release a software development kit for Android-powered wearables within the next two weeks.

“We’ll lay out a vision for developers as to how we’ll see this market working,” Pichai said. But aside from that, an SDK will also provide developers with the tools needed to get these devices running. This could be huge — for both Android and wearables.

As wearable devices like smartwatches continue to gain in popularity, developers just entering the field could be more likely to look to Android, since there’s already such a massive user base for Android phones and tablets. And if Android-powered wearables work closely with their mobile counterparts, it could enhance the experience all around. Though Samsung’s Android-powered Galaxy Gear smartwatch wasn’t such a hit, I think that with some guidance from Google there’s still promise.

Then again, given Android’s history with fragmentation issues, it could also turn into a massive headache where certain Android-powered wearables are unable to work with certain smartphones running outdated software.

Google is likely taking issues like this into account, but Pichai didn’t go into great detail about the wearables OS, nor did he address Google’s own rumored smartwatch. We should get a better idea of the company’s plans when the SDK is released shortly. "

Physicist " "proposes" a new type of computing @SXSW. Check out orbital computing"; Let go of your transistors. A physicist from SLAC who spoke @SXSW interactive "has proposed using the state changes in the orbits of electrons, as a way to build faster computers" - GO/SLACNAL - Mar 10, 2014

- S. Higginbotham -

http://gigaom.com/2013/10/11/google-nasa-explain-quantum-com…
http://gigaom.com/2011/03/16/chip-makers-sacrifice-accuracy-…

"The demand for computing power is constantly rising, but we’re heading to the edge of the cliff in terms of increasing performance — both in terms of the physics of cramming more transistors on a chip and in terms of the power consumption. We’ve covered plenty of different ways that researchers are trying to continue advancing Moore’s Law — this idea that the number of transistors (and thus the performance) on a chip doubles every 18 months — especially the far out there efforts that take traditional computer science and electronics and dump them in favor of using magnetic spin, quantum states or probabilistic logic.




We’re going to add a new impossible that might become possible to that list thanks to Joshua Turner, a physicist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, who has proposed using the orbits of electrons around the nucleus of an atom as a new means to generate the binary states (the charge or lack of a charge that transistors use today to generate zeros and ones) we use in computing. He calls this idea orbital computing and the big takeaway for engineers is that one can switch the state of an electron’s orbit 10,000 times faster than you can switch the state of a transistor used in computing today.

That means you can still have the features of computing in that you use binary programming, but you just can compute more in less time. To get us to his grand theory, Turner had to take the SXSW audience through how computing works, how transistors work, the structure of atoms, the behavior of subatomic particles and a bunch of background on X-rays.

X-rays are actually his specialty at SLAC, where he oversees experiments in the Linear accelerator to take pictures of subatomic particles in action. Those experiments have also led to the discovery of new materials and visualizations that could help computing in the nearer term. One is the discovery of a material that allows electrons to switch states really quickly that could improve magnetic random access memory speeds by a factor of thousand.

Another breakthrough is the ability to see what spin (positive or negative) electrons in a magnetic field have taken — which is akin to seeing what’s happening inside a transistor while it’s working. This helps engineers take the guesswork out of what some of the new breakthroughs in chip research might mean in the real world. One of the problems with working at the subatomic layer is that you can’t see what you are doing without expensive equipment.

A third breakthrough is the use of a lower-power terahertz laser to prompt a shift in the state of a magnetic spin of electrons. Like both the new material and the concept of orbital computing, this is a way to switch the state of an electron faster. The primary advantage here is that while we’ve known for a while that a laser can speed up a state change (and thus, speed up computing) those lasers require a lot of power. The terahertz breakthrough offers a boost in speed without requiring a huge power draw.

While the talk was highly technical, it was also engaging and Turner imbued it with a sense of wonder. He ended by reminding us that even as we’re toting small computers in our pockets or commercializing quantum computers, there is so much we don’t know about getting more performance and more insights out of computers. So while there’s a renewed interest in space as the “final frontier,” he argued that there is as much wonder to be had at the smaller scale.

“The frontier is really all around us,” he said. “There is so much we don’t understand and there are tons of experiments that we can use to get at the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics.” "

The Future of Cybersecurity: Coverage of 26th Annual ROTH Conference Panel Discussion - E.com/RCP - Mar 10, 2014

- Joel Anderson -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/technology/what-the-hac…

"With massive security breaches for Target (TGT) , Neiman Marcus, and Kickstarter among others coming on the heels of the Edward Snowden revelations, issues surrounding cyber security have started to come to the forefront. Now, possibly more than ever, companies are starting to think about what they need to protect and how they might go about protecting it.

That’s why the second panel on Sunday at the 26th Annual ROTH Conference focused on just this subject. At “What the Hack?!: Privacy and Data Security for Business in an Era of NSA Snooping, Cyberattacks, and Data Innovation,” moderator Christopher Wolf, a partner with business law firm Hogan Lovells, guided the five panelists through a lively discussion of the most relevant topics.

Wolf kept things interesting by structuring the panel like a game of Jeopardy, with panelists selecting a category, answering a trivia question, and then using this to expand on the subject in question. The panelists included Bradley Rotter, Chairman of Xcluud; Carl Wiese, CIO and Portfolio Manager with GROW Partners; Craig Spiezle, Executive Director for OTA Alliance; Fran Maier, Founder and Chair of the Board for TRUSTe; James Aquilina, the Executive Managing Director with Stroz Friedburg; and Mark Seifert, a partner with business communications firm Brunswick.

One focus of the panel was the range of different threats any company looking to protect its data has to consider. Whether it be a disgruntled employee selling information, organized criminals looking to profit, hactivists with something to prove, or even a foreign or domestic government entity, data safety can be breached by a variety of different people. And, in some cases, these categories can blend.

“That’s interesting, that’s an interesting question,” said James Aquilina when queried about which of the four categories of hackers Edward Snowden might fit into by Craig Spiezle. “Actually, insider. … I think to the extent that Snowden enjoyed permissions and access that was extraordinary as a result of his consulting relationship…that he abandoned his fiduciary duties…categorizes him as an insider.”

Another unique new security challenge explored at the panel was the growing phenomenon of BYOD, or bring your own device. With the increasing use of personal mobile devices for business purposes, today’s cyber security firms face an array of new potential breaches resulting from a lack of centralized control.

“I’m actually writing a blog called ‘Bring Your Own Disaster,’ because these devices have had unintended consequences,” said Craig Spiezle. “The IT world in the past was pretty much locked down. [They thought] they were corporate enterprises with firewalls and antivirus software and so forth. But then these devices walking right up to the middle of the perimeter and start connecting to things. [My smart phone] is the most dangerous device that I’ve ever held.”

“It’s very much increasing, and it will increase even more as we move into the inevitable internet of things,” he continued.

Many on the panel also lamented the lack of unified action from the federal government on this issue. As such, action has been left up to individual states and often lacks coordination. However, that doesn’t mean that private and public companies alike can’t take their fate into their own hands and take action to protect their assets.

On the whole, though, the panel remained focused on the fact that cyber security will be a fact of life moving forward, and those firms that fail to address this will suffer the consequences.

“At some point, the cost of not paying attention to security is outrageous. … Especially for smaller companies.” said Aquilina. "

Tesla's new $5.000.000.000 ‘gigafactory’ " "could" spur 37% graphite market growth" - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Mar 12, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/teslas-new-5bn-li-ion-gigafacto…

"– US automotive giant Tesla had recently revealed plans to build a new $5-billion lithium-ion battery ‘gigafactory’ that could potentially increase natural graphite demand by up to 37% by 2020, according to UK-based analyst Industrial Minerals Data (IM Data) manager Simon Moores.

The factory, which is forecast to start production by 2017, is expecting to have an output of 35 GWh/y by as early as 2020, which would more than double the size of the current market.

In a recent IM Data publication co-authored by Moores and Andy Miller, the analysts stressed that the plant was in the planning stage and capacities still depended strongly on market demand, but Tesla believed it could be the market leader by producing low-cost batteries in the US.

Talking to Mining Weekly Online during the recent Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada international convention, Moores said that while he believed the large-mesh flake graphite market was currently more or less in balance, there could be a supply crunch looming as the world economy slowly started to recover from the Great Recession.

IM Data had calculated that Tesla's plant - which is set to be based in the south-west US - would consume at least 28 000 t of spherical graphite every year if operating at capacity, which equated to about 93 000 t of flake graphite if produced to today's standards that entail raw material wastage of up to 70%.

“If achieved, battery demand for natural graphite will increase 112% from today's levels of 83 000 t/y. This is assuming no other growth in regions such as Asia, which is today's primary consuming region,” he said.

While research and development firms have been actively exploring non-graphitic carbon anode alternatives, the position of graphite anodes as the current material of choice for lithium-ion battery producers means the graphite industry is likely to be the beneficiary of this growth, the analysts wrote.

Whether Tesla plans to use spherical graphite - made from large natural flake graphite – or synthetic materials remains unclear.

Nonetheless, expansion of the battery market for electric vehicles (EVs) on this scale presents a valuable opportunity to graphite suppliers.


OVERNIGHT EV BOOM

Moores said that as soon as the EV market started gaining traction in 2011, it boomed overnight, prompting several juniors to move graphite projects up the value chain. However, there are no new mines expected to come on line this year, which, combined with potentially fluctuating supplies from the world’s leading producer, China, could result in rising prices.

In 2012, consumption from the battery sector constituted 8% of global natural graphite demand.

For the natural graphite market to supply the type of market growth Tesla is forecasting, large flake graphite output would need to increase significantly over the coming years.

IM Data estimates that large flake grades (+80 mesh and larger) only made up just more than 20% of total flake graphite output of 375 000 t in 2013, and with competition for these grades from other traditional markets, such as the refractories sector, new projects were likely to be required to meet the battery market demand.

“A number of junior projects were aiming to reach production over the coming two to three years, many boasting large flake reserves capable of supplying new hi-tech markets. With China’s large flake reserves depleting, and the efficiency of the country’s spherodisation process under question, these projects have an opportunity to play a major role in supplying emerging markets,” Moores said.

Tesla’s rapid EV expansion plans, however, are centred around lowering lithium-ion battery costs by more than 30% per kilowatt hour, which would allow the company to bring a more price-competitive product to market.

“Raw material costs are, therefore, likely to be under close scrutiny as the company gears up for production, meaning any potential graphite suppliers will have to be competitive not only with other producers, but also alternative carbon anode companies,” said Moores.

The ‘free-on-board’ price of Chinese uncoated spherical graphite, 99.95% carbon at 15 microns currently stood at $3 400/t, while prices of coated spherical graphite – the final material used in battery anodes – was valued at around three times this level.

There are several new graphite-mining projects in development in the medium term, among which are the 20 000 t/y large-flake, high-purity Bissett Creek graphite project, in Ontario; private project developer Ontario Graphite’s Kearney large-flake, high-carbon graphite mine, also in Ontario; Energizer Resources’ Molo graphite project, which is being developed as part of the Green Giant graphite project in Madagascar; and Focus Graphite’s high-grade Lac Knife graphite resource, located 27 km south-west of Fermont, Quebec.

Nicaragua "an attractive mining destination, says ‘open for business’ " - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Mar 11, 2014

- H. Lazenby, C. Zarruk -
www.miningweekly.com/article/nicaragua-an-attractive-mining-…

"While several regions in the Central American isthmus might be perceived as being “closed” for mining investment, the largest country in the region, Nicaragua, is “open for business”, the country’s general director for mining at the Energy and Mines Ministry (MEM), Carlos Zarruk, recently told Mining Weekly Online in an interview.

Mining had been a part of the country’s history for more than a century, and now more than ever, the country was gearing up to invite more mining investment.

Bordering Honduras to the north, and Costa Rica to the south, Nicaragua’s mining tradition dated back to the nineteenth century and had since become one of the country’s most dynamic economic sectors. According to the MEM, the mining sector had established itself as one of the country’s most important exporters, with gold reaching $436-million in exports in 2013.

Gold had also ranked among Nicaragua’s top five export products throughout the years and in 2013, it was ranked as the country’s top export product. Last year, Nicaragua produced 205 590 oz of gold and 254 860 oz of silver.

Mining activity in Nicaragua takes place in two industrial subsectors, including metallic and non-metallic.

Under the metallic sub-sector fell exploration and exploitation and included commercial gold and silver mining, as well as small-scale national gold miners for local sales. The largest companies participating were from Canada, the UK and Nicaragua and its main export markets were the US and Canada.

In the non-metallic subsector counts sand, concrete, rock fill, limestone, lime, calcium carbonate, gypsum and pumice. Its largest companies were from Nicaragua, Mexico and Switzerland and most output is sold to the local construction industry.

International miners such as B2Gold Corp, Canchinic, Condor Gold and Golden Reign Resources had already made themselves at home in the country, and were currently developing successful projects.

“All companies were complying with national legislation and implementing social responsibility practices with their employees, the communities where they were established and the environment,” VP of the Nicaraguan Chamber of Mines Denis Lanzas pointed out in the same interview.

He noted that less than 10% of the country was currently under exploration and all current mining operations were taking place in three historical districts: the Golden Triangle (Bonanza, Siuna and Rosita), La Libertad/Santo Domingo, and El Limón/La India, leaving plenty of room for exploration upside.

With a territorial reach of more than 130 000 km, Nicaragua is a country with vast natural resources. It offers more than 34 868 km2 of potential for mining activities. The country also enjoys a privileged geographic location.

Further, the proximity to North and South America makes Nicaragua an attractive destination for companies that are looking to export to those markets.

For example, flight time to Toronto, Canada, is between five and seven hours, depending on layovers. The country’s access to the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea also facilitates exports towards destinations in Europe and Asia.


LEGAL ENVIRONMENT

Recognising the mining sector’s potential to boost the country’s current gross domestic product of about $11.1-billion a year and economic growth of about 4.7% to 5%, the Nicaraguan government, through the MEM, is actively promoting investments by establishing a solid legal framework and facilitating the development of mining projects, Zarruk said.

He added that in recent years, Nicaragua had actively engaged in multilateral, regional and bilateral negotiations, to become better integrated into the world.

As a result of these efforts, the country had gained preferential access to critical markets such as the US, Mexico and Europe. In total, Nicaragua had earned preferential access to a world market of more than 1.5-billion people.

Nicaragua had signed 25 bilateral agreements for the promotion and reciprocal protection of investments, as part of the country’s investment promotion policy to ensure the establishment of foreign companies. Bilateral investment treaties set standards for the promotion and legal protection of foreign investments and investors, and all countries that have free trade agreements with Nicaragua also include bilateral treaties for the promotion and protection of investments.

“Over the years, Nicaragua has made important progress in the improvement of its investment climate in an effort to continue to attract high-quality foreign direct investment. The main legislation governing foreign investment in the country is Law 344, which establishes a series of solid legal guarantees for foreign investors,” Zarruk said.

The country also is a member of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the Inter-American Convention of Commercial Arbitrage of Panama, while also being a signatory of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law.

Nicaragua’s strategic location in the heart of the Americas has allowed the country to position itself as a very competitive export platform to markets worldwide.

The ‘2014 Doing Business Report’, published by the World Bank, provides a quantitative measure of the business climate in countries around the world. Nicaragua ranked number one in the Central American region in its indicators for investor protection, enforcing contracts and closing a business.

Further, Nicaragua’s population is young and dynamic, with 77% of its total population under the age of 39. The country’s labour force of 3.2-million is reported to be flexible, with good working habits, a fast learning curve and low absenteeism and attrition rates; all of which had allowed this workforce to become quickly recognised as one of the most competitive and productive in the region.

Nicaragua had also become one of the safest countries in the western hemisphere, an advantage recognised internationally by tourists and investors who have relocated to the country. The ‘Economist Intelligence Unit’ confirmed Nicaragua’s high security levels in its 2013 country risk evaluation, ranking the country as the second safest in Central America and the third in Latin America. This report measured indicators such as armed conflict, demonstrations, organised crime and kidnappings in different countries around the world.

“Nicaragua is looking forward to developing the mining sector to its full potential. The mining industry is willing to work with the government to develop technology and promote social investment to become a premier mining destination in the region,” Lanzas concluded. "

MSV "aims to lead Western rare earths production, with low-cost project" - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Mar 11, 2014

- H. Lazenby, A. Sprecher -
www.miningweekly.com/article/msv-aims-to-lead-western-rare-e…

"Mineração Serra Verde (MCV), a privately held project developer focused on a low-grade rare earths project in Brazil, believes that it likely holds the key to the unrelenting question of securing rare earths supplies outside of lead producer China, when its eponymous project starts up in 2017.

Following the global economic downturn of 2008/9 and a series of events and press reports in 2010 that coined what some referred to as the “rare earths crisis”, there had been a glut of new projects starting out, yet few had progressed up the value curve, and rare earths supplies in the West still largely depended on Chinese production.

During 2010, there was global concern when China cut its rare earths exports and appeared to be restricting the world’s access to rare earths, sending the market into a flurry of action and prices sky high. This led to a growing realisation that there was an almost total global dependence on China for rare-earths elements, including oxides, phosphors, metals, alloys and magnets.

Spurred by the macroeconomic environment and sensing the growing supply gap outside of China for rare earths, parent to MCV, Mining Ventures Brazil CEO Andreas Sprecher, in a recent interview with Mining Weekly Online said that the company’s flagship project was aiming at becoming a long-term sustainable alternative source of rare earths.

“Our project is analogous to many southern Chinese projects, providing for simple, well-understood metallurgy, and a low capital intensity that would contribute to maintaining price stability in the rare earths market, no matter what China decides to do with its output,” Sprecher said.

While Chinese production currently satisfies a majority of global rare-earth demand, industry experts forecast that China would soon become a net importer of certain heavy rare-earth elements, driven by decreasing grades, rising costs owing to more stringent environmental regulations, curbed black market supply and increased internal demand.

Sprecher notes that the MCV project’s ionic clay geology allows for the mineralisation to be freely liberated, and provides for cheaper, simpler processing and lower capital expenditures than some of its peers.

Among its peers counted Great Western Minerals Group with its Steenkampskraal project, in South Africa’s Northern Cape province, Frontier Rare Earths and its Zankopsdrift project in the same province, Namibia Rare Earths and its Lofdal project, in Namibia, Avalon Rare Metals and its Nechalacho project, located in Canada’s Northwest Territories, and Quest Rare Minerals with its Strange Lake project, located in north-eastern Quebec.

Further, he notes that high-value rare earths represented more than 60% of the resource, selling at a significant premium to light rare earths. The mineralisation allows the ore to be simply leached with low-cost reagents to precipitate a rare-earth concentrate, decreasing capital and operating costs, while following rigorous environmental standards.

The fully liberated rare-earth mineralisation would allow for simple truck-and-shovel openpit mining, and the project is located near to existing water, power and transport infrastructure.

“Given these favourable attributes, combined with increasing rare-earth demand, the project has potential to challenge China's dominance of the heavy and critical rare earth market,” Sprecher said.

An April 2013 Canadian National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate had estimated the project to hold a large resource of 412-million tonnes grading 0.16% at a 0.10% total rare earth oxide (TREO) cutoff grade. At a cutoff grade of zero, the resource was found to comprise 931-million tonnes grading 0.12% TREO. Exploration drilling was ongoing to increase the confidence in and size of the resource.

"Compared with projects based on hard-rock systems, the grades are low; however, the low extraction costs, simple metallurgy and high distribution of sought-after heavy rare earths more than compensate for the lower grades," he explained.

Sprecher revealed that the company was looking at first producing a mixed rare earths concentrate in 2017, after which it would start producing 5 000 t/y of separated rare earths from 2019, which would be scaled up to 10 000 t/y by 2024.

Production costs were estimated at about $30/kg of rare-earth concentrate, and just under $60/kg of rare-earth oxides.

MVB shareholders were currently evaluating capital raising alternatives, including the sale of a minority stake in MCV, with a formal capital raising process to start in the second half of the year.

The team delivered a preliminary economic assessment of the project last September, indicating an undisclosed “substantial” net present value.

Sprecher said that the company was advancing with a prefeasibility study including a leach and hydrometallurgy pilot plant, which was due in the second quarter this year. A bankable feasibility study was expected to follow by 2015. "

SurePure "Announces Adjunct Brewing 'Breakthrough', for Craft Brewing"; announced the successful execution "of what is believed to be the world's 1st successful trial of the application of a photopurification process, to the brewing of craft beer"; Earlier this month, the brewer successfully brewed beer with a liquid adjunct using microbrewery equipment. Using the patented SurePure technology to produce a microbially stable liquid adjunct, which was added post the brewing process, yielded "up to" 30% more fermentable extract, using the same amount of energy as conventional brewing. The increase in fermentable extract leads to an even greater increase in the amount of beer produced; Not only were there significant volume improvements, but the energy +product cost/pint of beer decreased, as the SurePure system operated @ambient temperature without heat. Along with this, product quality +consistency improved, as well making greener +less expensive beer an attractive proposition for micro brewers to consider; In effect, the SurePure technology +adjunct brewing offers microbreweries 'big brewery' process benefits, while complementing their craft brewing artesian care +character. With the growth of the craft beer industry +microbrewery capital budgets constrained , SurePure's breakthrough "may offer a viable craft beer production expansion strategy"; Craig Groeneveld: "The SurePure process "opens up new vistas for small, volume-constrained craft brewers. Being able to get effectively 50% more saleable beer out of the brew process offers small brewers the bridge between nano-brewing +micro brewing, with minimal brewhouse investment". It stays true to the craft brewing ethic of using only natural raw ingredients +traditional brewing methods" - Mar 12, 2014

"Will Clean Energy Come Through Policy, or Technology?" - CT/2GE - Mar 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/11/will-clean-energy-co…

"One of the great questions concerning the migration to renewable energy is as follows: Will it come from policy, i.e., government’s creating a level playing field, perhaps with a carbon tax—or will it come from technology, i.e., waiting for the cost of energy from clean sources to come down to that of fossil fuels?

First, we should point out that this is a meaningless question in the developing world, by which we mean countries that do not have the economic resources to choose a more expensive form of energy over another simply because the former is better for human health and the environment. While we can hope that China will continue to invest in renewables, expecting them to knock off their construction of new coal-fired power plants when coal is the least expensive form of energy is like expecting water to start to flow uphill.

And, since the urbanization of huge populations in China and other Asian nations is the real driver of energy consumption now and for at least the next 30 years, this is the problem that humankind needs to solve if it is to somehow avert large-scale catastrophe, in terms of climate change, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, lung disease, etc.

Therefore, it is incumbent on all of us everywhere to pour resources into the development of clean energy technology, and bring down the costs at the most rapid rate possible. Countries like the U.S., Brazil, the economically health parts of Europe, etc.,–as well as China and the others who can make a real difference, should be investing heavily in public-private partnerships to bring about a low-carbon future. Exploiting fossil resources, simply because they’re cheap (if you ignore the consequences) is morally wrong . "

Arsenic Remediation Project Will Begin Decontaminating Water in India - CT/YE360 - Mar 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/11/arsenic-remediation-…

"New technology that removes arsenic from drinking water is set to be deployed on a large scale in India, according to researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and an India-based water technology company.

The device removes arsenic by passing electricity through steel plates submerged in a water reservoir. The electric current causes the plates to rust more quickly than they would under normal conditions, and the rust chemically binds to arsenic in the water and sinks to the bottom of the reservoir. The precipitated sludge can be removed from the tank, rendering the water safe to drink.

Notoriously high levels of arsenic, a tasteless and odorless contaminant, naturally occur in groundwater sources in India, Bangladesh, and even California’s Central Valley. Long-term exposure can cause cancer and severe damage to organs. A commercial plant is set to begin operations in West Bengal, India, this year and researchers estimate the drinking water can be sold for as little as eight cents per gallon. "

World Bank "Says Biodiversity is Critical , to Ending Global Poverty" - CT/3BLM - Mar 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/11/world-bank-says-biod…

"The World Bank, a leading global financier of biodiversity conservation, has said that biodiversity is critical to ending poverty and promoting shared prosperity for the millions who depend on nature for their livelihoods. It pointed out that the disappearance or decrease in number of animal, plant and marine species causes people, especially the poorest in the world, to suffer.

Animal, plant and marine biodiversity helps keep ecosystems functional. Healthy ecosystems allow people to survive, get enough food to eat, and make a living. 75 percent of the world’s poor live in rural regions and depend on nature for their food and livelihoods. Therefore, a commitment to alleviating global poverty is incomplete without a commitment to preserving biodiversity around the world.

The World Bank has actively invested more than $1 billion to protect nature and wildlife. The Bank is also the largest provider of development assistance to fight environment and natural resources crime, with $300 million invested in forestry, fisheries and wildlife law enforcement. At a time when habitats are disappearing and poaching is on the rise, collective action to protect biodiversity has become crucial.

The World Bank cites the case of Sierra Leone to show how biodiversity impacts livelihoods of the world’s poorest. In Sierra Leone, overfishing and pollution has drastically reduced the volume and diversity of fish stocks. The Bank engaged with communities to bring the marine ecosystem back from the brink. It helped improve surveillance and prosecution of illegal fishing, and provided training on sustainable fishing practices. Nutrition and livelihoods improved for local villages as a result.

The Bank’s support has also helped preserve 480,000 hectares of coastal zone in Guinea-Bissau for its resident marine life and an emerging tourism industry. By giving residents in Brazil’s Acre State resources to manage their forest resources sustainably, the Bank helped push deforestation rates down by 70% and raise real GDP by over 44%. A World Bank project that supported conservation and sustainable management of forests and rural areas in Honduras increased community incomes by over 300% and created over 8,000 jobs. "

Juniors merge to pursue polymetallic development - MW/CMR, PERTH - Mar 12, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/juniors-merge-to-pursue-poly-me…

"ASX-listed juniors Heron Resources and TriAusMin have agreed to a merger to create an ASX- and TSX-listed company focused on the development of TriAusMin’s Woodlawn polymetallic project, in New South Wales.

Under the merger agreement, TriAusMin shareholders would receive one Heron share for every 2.33 TriAusMin shares held. Heron would further invest A$1.3-million in TriAusMin by means of a convertible loan to provide short-term working capital.

The merged entity would have a cash balance of some A$36.4-million, as well as A$5.4-million in investments, and would allow shareholders of the merged entity to benefit from progressing the Woodlawn project to a bankable feasibility stage and production decision, without potentially requiring further capital.

The directors of TriAusMin have unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction, in the absence of a superior proposal.

Heron told shareholders that the merger provided the company with a major development asset strongly aligned with the company’s strategic focus, while providing TriAusMin with the necessary funds and complementary team to enable it to progress with the next stages of the Woodlawn project development.

The transaction also allowed all shareholders to benefit from capital growth potential, driven by the proposed investments in Woodlawn, and exposure to a high potential and historically proven high-grade base metals deposit.

The Woodlawn project consists of an underground project, as well as a tailings retreatment project. The mine historically produced some 13.4-million tonnes of high-grade zinc, lead and copper ore, and retains an indicated Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 8.6-million tonnes, grading 10.3% zinc, 4% lead and 1.8% copper, 84 g/t silver and 0.5 g/t gold, along with an inferred resource of 1.5-million tonnes.

The project received regulatory approvals in July last year.

Apart from developing the Woodlawn project, the merged entity would also continue Heron’s work on investigating technologies for ore process routes that could improve the economics of the Kalgoorlie nickel project, and would have large exploration holdings in both New South Wales and Western Australia.

The exploration assets were being considered for both divestment and possible spin-out.

The proposed merger was subject to shareholder and regulatory approval."

Latest Trends in the Solar Industry: Coverage of 26th Annual ROTH Conference Panel Discussion - E.com - Mar 12, 2014

- J. Anderson -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/technology/latest-trend…

"Monday at the 26th Annual ROTH Conference saw some of the industry leaders for solar panel manufacturing sit down to discuss the future of their industry. It’s an exciting time to be a solar company at the moment, with a huge run in 2013 that left the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN) the top-performing non-leveraged ETF for the year. Of course, anyone working at a solar company probably also remembers the lean years that preceded the boom when valuations plunged in 2011 and then bottomed out in late 2012.

The panel at the ROTH Conference looked at an array of issues facing the solar industry, including the promise of energy storage technology, the rate of growing demand for their products, and even the ongoing trade war with China.

The panel was moderated by Philip Shen, a Senior Research Analyst ROTH Capital Partners, and introduced by Chris Forrester, a partner at Sherman & Sterling. Sitting on the panel was Rhone Resch, President & CEO of the Solar Energy Industry Association; Tony DiPaolo, the CFO of Real Goods Solar ($RGSE); Herman Zhao, the CFO of JA Solar Holdings (JASO) ; and Michael Potter, CFO of Canadian Solar (CSIQ) .


"Growing Demand is Promising for Industry"

As much as demand has increased in the last year and a half, industry experts continue to anticipate strong growth into the future. And the panelists were more than willing to discuss the sunny future for their industry.

“[It’s] very uncertain… [but] we expect to have a 10 gW market by 2016 in the [United States],” said Rhone Resch. “And depending on what happens with distributed generation, depending on what happens with state renewable portfolio standards, the ITC, and also the EPA’s 111d rules, we think that demand can continue to rise from there. So I think in 2019 in the United States, you’ll see the market somewhere around 15 gW on an annual basis. I think the US will remain in that 10-20 percent of the global market, so I think you’ll see a global market somewhere around 100 gW by 2019.”

Michael Potter, meanwhile, observed that even in the industry’s darkest days, it was still growing.

“A lot of people missed the fact that, a few years ago when things looked fairly dire for solar, the market was still growing,” he said. “Even in the worst years when the valuation of the solar companies was the lowest, there was still growth year-over-year in demand.”

Tony DiPaolo emphasized that the potential growth on the residential side was very strong in the near-term future.

“When we look at numbers for next year and the year after, we see 30 to 50 percent growth in volumes that would put next year somewhere above a gigawatt on the residential side, possible as high as 1.2 gW, and similar growth the year after,” he said.

But ultimately, it was clear that the record year in 2013 was generating excitement throughout the industry.

“We’ve been building out solar in the United States for 30 years, right? In the last 18 months, we’ve installed as much solar as we have in the previous 30 years,” said Resch.


"Emerging Markets Could Sustain Growth"

Also contained in the discussion of rising global demand was the consideration of just where that demand would be coming from. The potential for emerging markets to drive the construction of new solar capacity is clearly an exciting prospect for many in the industry.

“A few years ago, a very dramatic shift happened,” said Michael Potter. “It used to be purely policy driven. Without government policy offering incentives, there was no demand for solar… Very recently, the costs of solar … has become so affordable that in most places in the world it’s actually very competitive ... And it lots of places in the world, it’s actually much cheaper to build solar today. In emerging markets, where they need electricity quickly and they have a big concern about pollution, solar can be built quickly and it can come on line fast and it’s not polluting and it’s very cost effective. There’s no real need to make large incentives.”

“I think if you want to look for what’s the next big market…the Middle East and South America would be the two that I would name off the top of my head,” he continued. “There’s a lot of countries in the Middle East that burn oil to generate electricity. Obviously, using solar would be a much better way of generating electricity. They can either save the oil for longer or sell it and get more money for it. And South America, again, it’s an area where there’s not a lot of direct government incentive to pay people for putting solar in but where the cost of solar is very grid competitive. And there’s a lot of industries that need electricity and need the flexibility that distributed generation can bring. So I think that those regions could be quite good markets for solar going forward.”


"New Technologies "Could" be 'Game-Changing' "

The current focus for these companies is clearly in using their current technologies to grow into new markets, but that didn’t mean that the anticipation of new products isn’t wasn’t on their radar. Most notably, excitement surrounded the potential contained in energy storage technology. While still not on the market, batteries that could efficiently store energy collected while the sun’s up so it can be distributed at night, during peak usage, were viewed as potential game-changers.

“I think the real thing is, you have to understand we’re also a technology driven sector,” said Potter. “And one of the areas where there’s a big chance for a breakthrough is in energy storage. If there’s a good breakthrough and you can actually store the energy that’s generated during the day and use it at night? I think 10 percent a year is nothing compared to where it could grow and you could see a big move towards not just distributed generation solar, but large arrays of solar storing energy overnight.”


An Industry, not an Issue

One theme that also ran through the panel was solar’s growing independence from policy-driven demand. The desire to operate outside of political debate was clear, and these executives seemed confident that the industry was heading for a place where it could continue healthy growth without relying on government policies.

“There’s lots of countries in the world that have ‘conservative’ governments that are pro-solar,” said Potter. “I don’t think it’s really a Democrat vs. Republican issue. If it’s not heavily government-subsidized and it’s a beneficial industry and a beneficial technology to use, a lot of the partisan discussion goes away. … I see a lot of Republicans suddenly realizing that this is an individual empowering technology, where you can disconnect yourself from the grid and where you’re not beholden to the government and you can still power electricity in your house. And it’s a very different way of looking at it. If it’s a money-burning, eventually job-destroying type of effort that’s just government subsidy driven? That’s going to get a political discussion around it. If it’s a technology to generate electricity that’s competitive with and environmentally friendly compared to other forms of electricity generation? Then it’s just a dollars and cents kind of things.”

Rhone Resch echoed this sentiment.

“What we work really hard [for] as an industry is to make sure that we are not defined as an ‘issue,’” he said. “So when Obama talks about environment as an issue or talks about solar as an issue, we want to redefine solar as an industry. … There’s a lot of really positive stories that are occurring in Republican districts, Republican states. We get support from Republican senators as well as Governors. And so what we’re trying to do is position ourselves so that we do have broad-based bipartisan support.” "

‘Space Frame’ Wind Tower Allows Turbines to Be Built in Remote Places - CT/YE360/GE - Mar 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/12/space-frame-wind-tow…
www.gereports.com/post/79185604909/friends-in-high-places

"New wind power technology could bring turbines to hard-to-reach locations, according to engineers from General Electric. The company has developed a new type of wind tower, dubbed the “Space Frame Tower,” consisting of metal latticework wrapped in weather-resistant fiberglass.

Unlike conventional steel tube wind towers, the latticework can be bolted together on-site, which means the tower’s framework can be transported using standard shipping containers and trucks, allowing taller wind towers to be installed in locations previously inaccessible to the longer trucks needed to transport conventional towers.

The Space Frame Tower also has a five-leg base that’s wider than conventional towers, increasing stability and ultimately allowing it to reach heights up to 450 feet — an advantage at sites where higher turbines can reach stronger winds. A 318-foot tall prototype is up and running in Tehachapi, California, with a 2.75 megawatt turbine nearly 400 feet wide. "

Contested mining legislation approved by Parliament to give State free 20% stake - MW - Mar 13, 2014

- K. Cloete -
www.miningweekly.com/article/controversial-mining-legislatio…

" Controversial changes to South Africa’s mineral laws have been passed in the National Assembly, despite warnings that they could deter investors and damage the country’s mining and energy industries.

The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act Amendment Bill included a raft of regulations that empowered the Minister of Mineral Resources to take key decisions. One of the most contentious aspects of the legislation was a new section, which would allow the State to have a free 20% stake in all exploration and production rights.

The government would also be able to buy an unspecified additional share at “an agreed price”. This replaced the 30% ceiling on an additional share acquisition and ‘fair market value’ clauses that were subsequently removed.

Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu told the National Assembly the changes were vital to bring about transformation in the industry and change historical ownership patterns.

“We are resolute in our commitment to keep the transformation agenda at the centre of development in South Africa, as contained in the bill. There can be no sustainable mining and growth of the industry without going to the very heart of transformation.”

Shabangu hit back at her detractors in Parliament.

“We are on the path of changing the mining and petroleum industry, whether you like it or not. Change is painful, change is bitter, especially when you are stuck in the past. This Act is about the people of South Africa.”

Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) and oil and mining companies had warned that the new legislation created uncertainty and could push prospective investors to set their sights elsewhere, at great cost to South Africa.

The Amendment Bill, which was passed in the National Assembly with 226 votes in favour and 66 against, also allowed for the Minister to have regulatory powers to declare certain minerals strategic and block exports of them.

Further, it could force producers processing certain minerals to sell part of their production to local beneficiators in prescribed quantities, qualities and timelines at the mine gate price or at an agreed price.

Democratic Alliance (DA) Mineral Resources Shadow Minister James Lorimer accused the African National Congress (ANC) of risking jobs and tipping the balance in favour of "cronyism".

“The [Amendment] Bill contains more than 30 instances where key rules will be decided by regulation. Regulation is decided on by the Minister of Mineral Resources. It is opaque and can be changed rapidly. It provides none of the certainty that investors need and, thus, will put us in a worse position than we already are,” Lorimer told the National Assembly.

The DA intended to fight a motion by the ANC to suspend Rule 253 of Parliament, which allowed the legislation to be rushed through Parliament during this current session. The National Assembly wrapped up its work this week so that MPs could start preparing for the May 7 elections.

The Amendment Bill would be referred to the National Council of Provinces for concurrence before being signed into law by President Jacob Zuma. "

Rio Tinto 'unveils mine optimisation technology' - MR - Mar 13, 2014

- K. Jansen -
www.miningreview.com/rio-tinto-unveils-mine-optimisation-tec…

"Rio Tinto has launched a new phase of its industry-leading Mine of the Future technology and innovation programme that is driving greater value by optimising the performance of key international copper and coal operations.

The Processing Excellence Centre (PEC) in Brisbane, Australia is a world-first, state-of-the-art facility that enhances monitoring and operational performance by examining in real time processing data from seven Rio Tinto operations spread across the globe.

An expert mineral processing team operating out of the PEC shares technical initiatives and solutions to colleagues on mine sites in Mongolia, the United States and Australia about how to maximise productivity and improve performance.

With the aid of a giant interactive screen, technical data is monitored and analysed in real time, allowing processing improvements to be immediately introduced and operational performance to be optimised. A trial phase of the PEC has already led to various procedural enhancements, such as adjusting the flotation process which increased the recovery of copper and gold at Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia.

Rio Tinto chief executive Sam Walsh, who today officially opened the PEC, said “The Processing Excellence Centre marks another important step in the rollout of our exciting Mine of the Future programme.

“By continuing to develop and deliver a suite of next-generation systems and technologies for our operations, we are ensuring that Rio Tinto continues to lead the industry in delivering considerable value through technology. These innovations will significantly improve productivity, be better for the environment and be safer for our people.”

Rio Tinto head of innovation John McGagh said “This ground-breaking facility allows us to focus on optimising mineral processing across a broad range of sites, anywhere in the world. We’ve been able to assemble a world-class team to work with live data and tackle improvements in processing.

“The PEC provides significant capability to the business by drawing on a global network of industry experts from operations, suppliers, and consultants.”

The PEC is linked to copper processing at Oyu Tolgoi and Rio Tinto Kennecott in the United States as well as five coal sites in Australia.

Rio Tinto has been working with JKTech, Schneider Electric, Metso CISA, iGATE and The University of Queensland through the Rio Tinto Centre for Advanced Mineral Sorting to develop the Centre. "

Abakan Subsidiary Awarded $1.500.000 Loan, to 'Scale-Up PComP(TM) Production +Expand PComP(TM) Coating Services', MesoCoat's PComP™ product lines(cermets fabricated into a hierarchical structure, using a patented process to engineer particle sizes down to the nano-scale) "serve the thermal spray coating industry, which is currently a $10.000.000.000 industry globally, catering to the oil +gas, mining, aerospace +defense, automotive, infrastructure, heavy equipment, chemical, +processing industries." The PComP™ family of coatings is "positioned to replace the very expensive tungsten carbide coatings, +toxic electrolytic chrome plating"; PComP™ nanocomposite metal-ceramic coatings offer the wear +corrosion resistance of ceramic materials, such as diamond or glass, but with the toughness +resilience of metals. These nanocomposite coatings impart wear +corrosion resistance to metal surfaces +reduce friction in sliding wear applications. The PComP™ cermet coatings "are easy to apply +machine to tight tolerances for dimensional restoration of worn industrial components". The PComP™ family of coating materials "has been designed to act as a drop-in replacement, for competing thermal spray materials, that can be used in existing application systems based on a unique, patented coating microstructure, that combines the high hardness zones of a ductile metal in an optimal geometry." PComP™ coatings are "up to" 70% lighter than tungsten carbide(WC) coatings, +"up to" 40% lighter than the hard chrome alternative, due to the use of light +low-cost, nitride-based reinforcements; Mr. R. Miller: "Our PComP™ current powder production expansion plan is ramping up annual production to 18 tons, increasing sales to $240.000/month. The $1.500.000 loan "will assist MesoCoat to increase the scale up of PComP™ production, from 18 tons to 160 tons/year, increasing 'projected' powder sales revenues to $1.600.000/month +thermal spray revenues of $1.000.000/month, over the next few years". We " "anticipate" that the PComP™ production ramp up will result in an average annual growth rate of ~75% over three years, from our fiscal year end May '15 to May '18. PComP™ nanocomposite powder coatings "have shown impressive results in the three major aspects of performance, time, +value proposition of cost, versus life". Our PComP™ powders "have consistently demonstrated 3 to 8 times longer life for treated components, @lower life-cycle costs , which lead to reductions in downtime +losses ". We " "believe" that this is the right time to step-up our efforts, towards driving 'rapid' adoption of these breakthrough coatings " " - Feb 18, 2014

Abakan Subsidiary Receives $2.7500.000 From Canadian Agencies, to Establish 'Wear-Resistant Clad Pipe Facility'; MesoCoat "Will Collaborate With Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to Commercialize Wear-Resistant Clad Pipes +Components", Improvements in wear resistance are " "expected" to make a significant impact in reducing losses, due to maintenance +downtime, while increasing productivity in oil sands +other mining applications"; R. Miller: "Our "objective in Alberta is to fast-track the commercialization of our CermaClad™ long-life, wear-resistant clad pipes +components. "Once" our products are adopted in Alberta, we "anticipate" acceptance for mining applications around the globe. Currently, pipes have to be rotated every three to four months +are replaced every 12 to 15 months. We "intend" to increase the life of these pipes +components using, a combination of our advanced materials +high-speed large-area coating technology". The oil majors that mine the oil sands in Alberta have primarily been using the same two coating materials for the past forty years, tungsten-carbide +chrome-carbide, to protect their hydro-transport pipe. Our wear-resistant clad products "have shown two to four times improvement in wear +corrosion resistance in laboratory tests, compared to weld overlays currently in use, @costs that are lower than currently available alternatives". Producers "are looking to extend the life of carbon steel transport pipes with harder, tougher coatings, that protect them from the abrasiveness +high acidity of the tar-like bituminous oil sands. CermaClad wear-resistant clad products, that will be developed through this collaborative effort with NAIT, can provide that economically viable, long-term solution" - Mar 11, 2014

Abakan's CermaClad(TM) Awarded "Innovation of the Year" by NACE International, which is "recognized globally as the premier authority for corrosion control solutions +has become the leader in developing corrosion prevention +control standards, certification +education"; C. Miller: "Our goal is to improve the useful life of metals beyond current cladding technology standards. It's common knowledge that corrosion is the number one limiting factor in the life of metals. CermaClad™ anti-corrosion +anti-wear cladding technology "represents a 'revolutionary advancement' in corrosion prevention +mitigation technologies, because it can produce an 'exceptional product' @a lower cost +a fraction of the manufacturing time of competing technologies. In short, it is a significantly better, cheaper +faster alternative to current industry standards". It is extremely motivating for our team to see the world's preeminent corrosion association honoring CermaClad™ technology as the top anti-corrosion coatings technology available today. This award, along with several others received for CermaClad™, coupled with the support we've received from many Oil +Gas majors and some of the world's largest offshore pipe manufacturers provide further validation for the enormous potential of our technology. We're thrilled to be recognized with this highly-esteemed award" - Mar 13, 2014

"Discussing the JOBS Act's Impact on Capital Flow, in the U.S. Market" - E.com - Mar 13, 2014

- J. Anderson -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/crowdfunding/jobs-capital-flow…

"Much of the focus on how the JOBS Act may be able to transform the flow of capital in the United States has been on new pathways being opened. Equity crowdfunding, crowdfinanced debt, locavesting, the new opportunities for accessing capital outside of the traditional banking system has sparked the imagination of many.

However, many active participants in the traditional capital markets are equally as excited about the potential for change. While traditional investment banks don’t seem to think crowdfunding is going to change much, and the sort of small-term locavesting has always existed off their radar, the changes to the rules for private capital raising stand to make things much easier for companies raising capital through traditional routes as well.

The chance to have more shareholders, to solicit accredited investors, and eased rules on IPOs mean investment banks like ROTH Capital Partners have as much to look forward to as small businesses turning to their communities to fund expansion.

And that focus was on display March 9-12 at the 26th Annual ROTH Conference in Dana Point, CA. There, several different panelists speaking on very different subject matter touched on the ways they imagined the JOBS Act changing the process for raising capital, even for the financial world’s more traditional actors.

At Sunday’s panel on the effects of the Affordable Care Act on the health care industry, Poliwogg CEO Gregory Simon observed that making it easier to raise capital for health care companies could translate to more funding for research into groundbreaking new therapies.

“That’s what the JOBS Act allows,” Simon said. “The JOBS Act does two really important things to change the future of all securities but especially health. Private companies have far more investors, so the price of an investment can fall by [to a] tenth [of previous levels]. So instead of $200,000, you can now get into a private company for $20,000.

“But the second thing is, your industry in the health space, is the only industry the first amendment did not apply to. In the private offerings, you could not advertise a private offering to the public. You can advertise all the seven sins on billboards in Times Square, but you couldn’t say ‘we’re raising money for a [private] company doing an Alzheimer’s Trial’ … or you would go to jail.

“That has all changed, now you can advertise a private offering to the world. You still have to be accredited to invest, but the cost of entry is much lower. … If we’re going to make progress in the health space, we have to connect the basic research funding and the [venture capital] pharma funding to get more ideas into the pipeline.”

Discussions at the Next Trends in Solar Panel delved into the ways changes in the approach to financing could drive that industry in the coming years, and OTC Markets Group’s Director, President, and CEO R. Cromwell Coulson spoke on the tremendous promise contained in the SEC’s new Reg A rules at the Ready, Set, IPO Panel on Tuesday.

“Probably the most exciting change which is right on the SEC’s docket today is Reg A-Plus, and I actually spent Friday in Washington at the Treasury and the SEC on Reg A-Plus,” he said. “And Reg A-Plus is going to allow companies to raise up to $50 million in an SEC registered offering where the shares are free-trading but you’re not becoming a SEC registered company. You’ve got a lighter reporting requirement, right now they’re only asking for annual audited financials and semi-annual reporting. The shares will be free-trading and pre-empted from state blue sky. So this is a huge opportunity for smaller companies. … Reg A-Plus is going to be an exciting change.”

Simon, though, did emphasize some of the potential for populations underserved by the world of finance and the way crowdfunding could give those populations a chance to participate in capital raising in a way that could affect them positively, using the example of communities investing in their hospital systems.

“How does the average citizen help change things? Well, now with the JOBS Act and with crowdfunding … you can involve the community by letting more people invest small amounts of money, by which I mean $1,000 to $10,000, then you would be able to get the community to invest in its own solution to its own problem,” Simon said.

“And you might think ‘Well, communities don’t have that money.’ Well, you’re wrong. The average lottery ticket buyer makes $13,000 a year and spends $650 a year on lottery tickets. Five percent of their income to lottery tickets. Those people have never been allowed to invest in their neighbors business, whether it was a yoga studio or a dry cleaners or an ice cream shop or a grocery store, but now you are about to be able to.

“So if you were to go to Detroit, or if you were to go to northeast Washington, D.C. and say ‘we’re not going to close your hospital, we’re going to change your hospital and we’re going to let you own part of it.’ You’re going to find a very interesting response, because nobody has ever asked that question. And that’s one way communities can help themselves.” "

After several delays, Cameco starts production @Cigar Lake - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Mar 13, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/after-several-delays-cameco-sta…

"One of the world’s largest uranium producers, Canadian firm Cameco on Thursday reported that following several years of delays and project setbacks, it had started ore shipments from the Cigar Lake uranium mine, in northern Saskatchewan.

Cameco said that as at December 31, the total costs for the project, the second-biggest high-grade uranium deposit in the world after its flagship McArthur River mine, had risen to C$2.6-billion, a far cry from the $450-million it expected the project to cost when it first approved its construction in 2004.

Back then, it had also expected first production by 2007. However, a series of setbacks added to rising costs and a lengthening timeline, including a rock fall causing an underground flood in October 2006, delaying construction.

The Cigar Lake deposit occurs at depths ranging between 410 m and 450 m below the surface where water-saturated Athabasca sandstone meets the underlying basement rocks. Owing to geological conditions, it is necessary to freeze the deposit and surrounding rock to improve the ground stability and prevent groundwater inflows to the mine.

Cameco then pushed the start-up date back further and further, eventually aiming for a start-up at the end of last year, but also that deadline was not to be. During commissioning activities of the underground ore handling facilities in the mine last September, Cameco identified additional work that would delay jet boring in ore to the first quarter this year.

Project partner Areva Resources Canada had also at that point realised that further mill modifications were required at its McClean Lake mill, and that the mill was only expected to start processing Cigar Lake ore by the end of the second quarter.

Cameco on Thursday confirmed that the mining system and underground processing circuits were operational and ore was being transported to the mill, which is located 70 km north east of the mine site.

The mill would produce between two-million and three-million pounds of uranium concentrate this year, ramping up to 18-million pounds by 2018. So far this month, uranium had been trading at about $35/lb, down 51% from peak prices of more than $72/lb at the start of 2011.

Cigar Lake has total compliant proven and probable reserves of 537.1-million tonnes grading 18.3% uranium oxide, containing 216.7-milion pounds of yellow cake.

Cameco's TSX-listed stock rose 2.68% to C$27.63 apiece on Thursday "

‘Future mine ’ research needs to begin now –Wits - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Mar 13, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/future-mine-research-needs-to-b…

"Research into South Africa’s 'mine of the future' needs to begin immediately, says University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) School of Mining Engineering head Fred Cawood.

The programme for the mine of the future needs to be broken into various phases, with the immediate goal being to mine more for less in order to provide cash flow for more intensive research.

The underground mining environment needs to be better understood and technology already widely used on surface, including satellite technology, needs to be migrated underground.

For that purpose, a digital mine mock-up is being established at the Wits School of Mining Engineering to assure safety and generate the cash for more profound longer-term research.

Cawood’s view is that mechanisation should follow optimisation and be accompanied by the introduction of a new mining layout.

But he sees the phase of optimisation, mechanisation and new layout as an interim measure that needs to be replaced over time by the entirely new mine design.

And that research, in his view, needs to begin right away .

In the last ten years, Wits has established the Centre for Sustainability in Mining, the Centre for Mechanised Mining Systems, the Wits Mining Research Institute (WMRI) and is busy establishing a digital mine beneath the School of Mining Engineering.

WMRI, kicked off by Minerals Minister Susan Shabangu 18 months ago, turned out to be bigger than the university expected, which has resulted in it stalling.

However, new vice-chancellor Professor Adam Habib committed to a decision on the institute in early 2014.

“We’re expecting a discussion at this week’s Senate meeting,” Cawood tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview.

Pretoria University also has promising research initiatives under way and the State’s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is conducting research, including laser research, which is expected to be adapted and used in underground mining.

JSE-listed Gold Fields, which provided the seed capital for Wits’ digital mine initiative, is also conducting research with the CSIR.

Gold major AngloGold Ashanti has introduced promising raise-boring technology, which leaps over mechanisation into automation and mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”.

“The AngloGold Ashanti initiative is looking very promising, where the mining method targets the meat in the sandwich . That is what we need to do,” says Cawood.

But sought, in addition, is an overarching new mining research body to resemble the now-disbanded Chamber of Mines Research Organisation (Comro).

“We haven’t found the Comro model yet and that’s what we need if we want to become world-class again,” Cawood says, adding that consolidation is needed to avoid too many well-intentioned initiatives falling short of the target.

“We need a common agenda. We need vision for all these initiatives so that all the initiatives deliver on that common goal, and the common goal is quite frankly a new mining method.

“Our biggest advantage is having access to this fantastic resource that strikes over hundreds of kilometres, that just keeps on going but it’s getting so deep now that’s becoming our disadvantage . We’re finding it more difficult to squeeze out profits without price or exchange rate windfalls to help us from time to time,” he adds.

From next year, Wits School of Mining Engineering expects to graduate 100 mining-engineering graduates a year, the overwhelming majority of them black students and more than a third of them female. "

Atomically thin solar cells - R&DM/UoV, VIENNA - Mar 10, 2014
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/03/atomically-thin-solar-cells

"It does not get any thinner than this: The novel material graphene consists of only one atomic layer of carbon atoms and exhibits very special electronic properties. As it turns out, there are other materials too, which can open up intriguing new technological possibilities if they are arranged in just one or very few atomic layers. Researchers at the Vienna Univ. of Technology have now succeeded for the first time in creating a diode made of tungsten diselenide. Experiments show that this material may be used to create ultrathin flexible solar cells. Even flexible displays could become possible.

Thin layers are different

At least since the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded in 2010 for creating graphene, the “two dimensional crystals" made of carbon atoms have been regarded as one of the most promising materials in electronics. In 2013, graphene research was chosen by the EU as a flagship-project, with a funding of one billion euros. Graphene can sustain extreme mechanical strain and it has great opto-electronic properties. With graphene as a light detector, optical signals can be transformed into electric pulses on extremely short timescales.

For one very similar application, however, graphene is not well suited for building solar cells. “The electronic states in graphene are not very practical for creating photovoltaics,” says Thomas Mueller. Therefore, he and his team started to look for other materials, which, similarly to graphene, can arranged in ultrathin layers, but have even better electronic properties.

The material of choice was tungsten diselenide: It consists of one layer of tungsten atoms, which are connected by selenium atoms above and below the tungsten plane. The material absorbs light, much like graphene, but in tungsten diselenide, this light can be used to create electrical power.


The world’s thinnest solar cells

Tungsten diselenide.Tungsten diselenide.The layer is so thin that 95% of the light just passes through—but a tenth of the remaining five percent, which are absorbed by the material, are converted into electrical power. Therefore, the internal efficiency is quite high. A larger portion of the incident light can be used if several of the ultrathin layers are stacked on top of each other—but sometimes the high transparency can be a useful side effect.



- Tungsten diselenide. -


“We are envisioning solar cell layers on glass facades, which let part of the light into the building while at the same time creating electricity,” says Thomas Mueller.

Today, standard solar cells are mostly made of silicon, they are rather bulky and inflexible. Organic materials are also used for opto-electronic applications, but they age rather quickly. “A big advantage of two-dimensional structures of single atomic layers is their crystallinity. Crystal structures lend stability,” says Thomas Mueller.

The results of the experiments at the Vienna Univ. of Technology have now been published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. The research field is extremely competitive: in the same issue of the journal, two more papers are published, in which very similar results are shown. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the Univ. of Washington have also discovered the great advantages of tungsten diselenide. There seems to be little doubt that this material will soon play an important role in materials science all over the world, much like graphene has in the last couple of years. "

1st thin films of spin ice "reveal cold secrets" - R&DM/NC/N.com/LCN, LONDON - Mar 10, 2014
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/03/first-thin-films-spin-ice-reveal-…

"Thin films of spin ice have been shown to demonstrate surprising properties which could help in the development of applications of magnetricity, the magnetic equivalent of electricity.

Published in Nature Communications ("Restoration of the third law in spin ice thin films"), a team of researchers based at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), in collaboration with scientists from Oxford and Cambridge, found that, against expectations, the Third Law of Thermodynamics could be restored in thin films of the magnetic material spin ice.

In the familiar world around us it is always possible to make things colder, but science has established that there is a limit to how cold an object can be—the so-called "absolute zero" of temperature, or -273 C.



- This image shows the first thin films of spin ice. The orange coloration is a spin ice film of only a few billionths of a meter thickness. -


At the absolute zero it is expected that the entropy of a substance, a measure of the randomness of the atoms within it, should itself be zero. The concept that absolute zero equates to zero entropy or randomness is called the Third Law of Thermodynamics.

A famous exception to the Third Law is spin ice, in which atomic magnetic moments or "spins" remain random in the approach to absolute zero. This randomness gives spin ice properties that more conventional materials don't have, most notably "magnetic monopoles".

In this study, the researchers fabricated, for the first time, thin spin ice films with a thicknesses of only a few nanometres.

At about half a degree above absolute zero, the normal entropy of spin ice within the film was found to disappear, showing that the Third Law is restored in these spin ice thin films. Using x-ray diffraction at the LCN, the researchers showed that the films are slightly strained by the "substrate" on which they are grown, which causes the loss of entropy.

"This result shows that we can use strain to drastically alter and control the spin ice state," says Dr. Laura Bovo (UCL London Centre for Nanotechnology), the leading author of the team's paper. "It opens up new possibilities for the control and manipulation of magnetricity and magnetic monopoles in spin ice."

Prof. Steve Bramwell (UCL Department of Physics and Astronomy), another of the paper's authors, added, "Restoration of the Third Law in spin ice thin films adds an unexpected twist to the story of spin ice. How the Third Law is first violated and then restored in spin ice is an interesting question of basic physics."

Control of the entropy of spin ice could potentially be used in a number of applications; for example, magnetic technology in computer hard disks is often based on thin magnetic films. "

Heat-based technique "offers new way, to count microscopic particles" - R&DM/NCSU/SP, CAROLINA - Mar 10, 2014

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10404-014-1369-z

"Researchers have developed a new heat-based technique for counting and measuring the size of microscopic particles. The technique is less expensive than light-based techniques and can be used on a wider array of materials than electricity-based techniques. The research was performed by faculty at North Carolina State Univ., the Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Marquette Univ.



- Schematic of the new particle counting device. -


“We launched this study purely out of curiosity, but it’s developed into a technique that has significant advantages over existing methods for counting and measuring the size of microscopic objects,” says Dr. Glenn Walker, senior author of a paper on the work and an associate professor in the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill.

Particle counters are used in a wide variety of industries. For example, physicians use them to count and identify blood and cancer cells while ink manufacturers use them to ensure consistent toner quality. The new thermal technique could also lead to new applications.

The researchers built a device in which an extremely narrow plastic tube rests on a silicon substrate. A wire is connected to a single point beneath the tube. An extremely small current is run through the wire, both generating heat that radiates into the tube and measuring the temperature of the tube and its contents.

When a solution containing microscopic particles is injected into the tube it flows past the wire and the heated area. When the particles pass through this thermal zone they alter the electrical resistance of the wire. This is because the thermal conductivity of a particle will either increase or decrease the temperature in that part of the tube, causing the electrical resistance to go up or down.

Since the researchers know the flow rate of the solution through the tube, they can measure the length of time that the electrical resistance was changed and calculate the size of the objects suspended in the solution.

“So far, we’ve tested this method effectively with objects in the 200 micrometer to 90 micrometer range—at the larger end of the spectrum commonly measured by commercial particle counters,” Walker says. “But in theory we’ll be able to get down to the 10 micrometer range and measure individual cells. We’re working on that now.”

The researchers are also exploring ways to use the technique to detect unwelcome metal particles resulting from machine wear in mechanical devices.

“There are three advantages to our technique,” Walker says. “It’s simple, it’s inexpensive, and it can monitor any kind of particle. Flow cytometry—which uses light—is both expensive and complex, while Coulter counters—which use electricity – only work on objects that don’t conduct electricity but are suspended in a solution that is conductive.”

The paper, “A Microfluidic Device for Thermal Particle Detection,” was published online March 11 in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics. Lead author of the paper is Ashwin Vutha, a former master’s student at NC State now pursuing a Ph.D. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Co-authors are Benyamin Davaji and Dr. Chung Hoon Lee of Marquette. "

Scientists build thinnest -possible LEDs, to be stronger, more energy efficient - R&DM/UoW/NN, WASHINGTON - Mar 10, 2014

"Most modern electronics, from flatscreen TVs and smartphones to wearable technologies and computer monitors, use tiny light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. These LEDs are based off of semiconductors that emit light with the movement of electrons. As devices get smaller and faster, there is more demand for such semiconductors that are tinier, stronger and more energy efficient.

Univ. of Washington scientists have built the thinnest-known LED that can be used as a source of light energy in electronics. The LED is based off of 2-D, flexible semiconductors, making it possible to stack or use in much smaller and more diverse applications than current technology allows .



- This graphical representation shows the layers of the 2-D LED and how it emits light. Image: Univ. of Washington -


“We are able to make the thinnest-possible LEDs, only three atoms thick yet mechanically strong. Such thin and foldable LEDs are critical for future portable and integrated electronic devices,” said Xiaodong Xu, a UW asst. prof. in materials science and engineering and in physics.

Xu along with Jason Ross, a UW materials science and engineering graduate student, co-authored a paperabout this technology that appeared online in Nature Nanotechnology.

Most consumer electronics use three-dimensional LEDs, but these are 10 to 20 times thicker than the LEDs being developed by the UW.

“These are 10,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, yet the light they emit can be seen by standard measurement equipment,” Ross said. “This is a huge leap of miniaturization of technology , and because it’s a semiconductor, you can do almost everything with it that is possible with existing, 3-D silicon technologies,” Ross said.

The UW’s LED is made from flat sheets of the molecular semiconductor known as tungsten diselenide, a member of a group of 2-D materials that have been recently identified as the thinnest-known semiconductors. Researchers use regular adhesive tape to extract a single sheet of this material from thick, layered pieces in a method inspired by the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to the Univ. of Manchester for isolating one-atom-thick flakes of carbon, called graphene, from a piece of graphite.

In addition to light-emitting applications, this technology could open doors for using light as interconnects to run nanoscale computer chips instead of standard devices that operate off the movement of electrons, or electricity. The latter process creates a lot of heat and wastes power, whereas sending light through a chip to achieve the same purpose would be highly efficient.

“A promising solution is to replace the electrical interconnect with optical ones, which will maintain the high bandwidth but consume less energy,” Xu said. “Our work makes it possible to make highly integrated and energy-efficient devices in areas such as lighting, optical communication and nanolasers.”

The research team is working on more efficient ways to create these thin LEDs and looking at what happens when two-dimensional materials are stacked in different ways. Additionally, these materials have been shown to react with polarized light in new ways that no other materials can, and researchers also will continue to pursue those applications. "

Recovering metals +minerals, from waste - R&DM/VTTTRCoF - Mar 10, 2014

www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/researchhighlights/2014/R11.pdf

"Scarcity of clean water is one of the most serious global challenges. In its spearhead program, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland developed energy-efficient methods for reuse of water in industrial processes and means for recovering valuable minerals and materials from waste for recycling. Rapid tools were also developed for identification of environmental pollutants.

When water and wastewater systems are developed in a comprehensive manner, it is possible to recover valuable metals and other materials and secure availability of clean water. Cleaning and treatment processes can also be linked to energy production, and the processes and urban structures designed in such a manner that wastewater treatment does not consume energy or cause extra costs.

“Wastewater treatment and waste treatment have mainly been implemented by legal necessity. Now we should modify our way of thinking so that we would be able to regard waste disposal sites and purification plants as sources or raw materials and energy. In the near future, technology has been refined far enough to allow such waste treatment plants to operate on their own," says Mona Arnold, Principal Researcher at VTT.


Recycling valuable minerals and materials

Demand has arisen for technologies capable of recovering even tiny amounts of minerals from waste flows. Recovering them from municipal or mining wastewaters requires better recovery methods than those available today. VTT has developed extraction methods for metals and minerals from waste materials. Biological extraction methods by which metals are recovered from mining, metal and recycling industry waste by utilising microbes and chemical reactions are under testing stages and they are forecasted for market uptake within the next few years.

Other valuable elements can also be found from waste flows. For example, the food industry by-product flows contain biochemicals and proteins that can be utilised better than is currently possible, if only they could be effectively recovered from waste. One possibility is to use enzymes. VTT researchers developed an enzyme-assisted method by which feed products can be produced from side streams deriving from turnip rape processing in food industry.


Reducing energy consumption in water treatment

Treatment of water in purification plants and industrial facilities consumes vast amounts of energy. Usually water recycling and seawater desalination are based on the use of filtration membranes that consume energy. VTT developed intelligent membrane materials, reducing the need of purification, for filtration purposes.

Membrane solutions using only small amounts of energy were developed for water treatment purposes. VTT has collaborated with a university in Singapore to develop a method based on forward osmosis technology, by which metals and biocomponents can be recovered and concentrated from industrial process waters.

The pumping and distribution of water to consumers and industry also consumes major amounts of energy. The need for pumping can be minimised if the process water can be recirculated within the plant, and the distribution network is made more effective by enhanced monitoring and location of leaks.


Sensors for identifying environmental hazards

The VTT spearhead program also developed sensor technology for easy and rapid detection of pollutants. VTT indicators facilitate rapid identification of, for example, small but hazardous cyanobacterial toxin levels and phenolic, hormone-like compounds. There is need for such indicators in developing countries, suffering from lack of trained personnel and laboratories. The technology will be ready for production use within the next few years. "

Graphene-copper sandwich "may improve, shrink electronics" - R&DM/UoC/NL/NSF/DARPA/SFC/FAME/MARCO, CALIF - Mar 10, 2014

"Researchers have discovered that creating a graphene-copper-graphene “sandwich” strongly enhances the heat conducting properties of copper, a discovery that could further help in the downscaling of electronics.



- From left: (1) copper before any processing, (2) copper after thermal processing; (3) copper after adding graphene. -


The work was led by Alexander A. Balandin, a professor of electrical engineering at the Bourns College of Engineering at the Univ. of California, Riverside and Konstantin S. Novoselov, a professor of physics at the Univ. of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Balandin and Novoselov are corresponding authors for the paper just published in the journal Nano Letters. In 2010, Novoselov shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Andre Geim for their discovery of graphene.

In the experiments, the researchers found that adding a layer of graphene, a one-atom thick material with highly desirable electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, on each side of a copper film increased heat conducting properties up to 24% .

“This enhancement of copper’s ability to conduct heat could become important in the development of hybrid copper—graphene interconnects for electronic chips that continue to get smaller and smaller,” said Balandin, who in 2013 was awarded the MRS Medal from the Materials Research Society for discovery of unusual heat conduction properties of graphene.

Whether the heat conducting properties of copper would improve by layering it with graphene is an important question because copper is the material used for semiconductor interconnects in modern computer chips. Copper replaced aluminum because of its better electrical conductivity.

Downscaling the size of transistors and interconnects and increasing the number of transistors on computer chips has put an enormous strain on copper’s interconnect performance, to the point where there is little room for further improvement. For that reason there is a strong motivation to develop hybrid interconnect structures that can better conduct electrical current and heat.

In the experiments conducted by Balandin and the other researchers, they were surprised that the improvement of thermal properties of graphene coated copper films was significant despite the fact that graphene’s thickness is only one atom. The puzzle was solved after they realized the improvement is the result of changes in copper’s nano- and microstructure, not from graphene’s action as an additional heat conducting channel.



- The experimental set up and sample used in the study. -


After examining the grain sizes in copper before and after adding graphene, the researcher found that chemical vapor deposition of graphene conducted at high temperature stimulates grain size growth in copper films. The larger grain sizes in copper coated with graphene results in better heat conduction.

Additionally, the researchers found that the heat conduction improvement by adding graphene was more pronounced in thinner copper films. This is significant because the enhancement should further improve as future copper interconnects scale down to the nanometers-range, which is 1/1000thof the micrometer range.

In the future, Balandin and the team would like to investigate how heat conduction properties change in nanometer-thick copper films coated with graphene. They also plan to develop a more accurate theoretical model to explain how thermal conductivity scales with the grain sizes.

In addition to Balandin and Novoselov, co-authors of the Nano Letters paper, “Thermal Properties of Graphene-Copper-Graphene Heterogeneous Films,” were: Pradyumna Goli, a post-doctoral student in Balandin’s lab and Hao Ning, Xuesong Li and Ching Yu Lu, all of whom work for Bluestone Global Tech in Wappingers Falls, NY.

The work at UC Riverside on this project was supported by the National Science Foundation and by STARnet Center for Function Accelerated nanoMaterial Engineering (FAME), a Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) program sponsored by Microelectronics Advanced Research Corporation (MARCO) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

"Driving down fuel usage" - R&DM/MIT - Mar 10, 2014

- Rob Matheson -
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/03/driving-down-fuel-usage

"Despite their potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption, electric and hybrid cars and trucks struggled for years to find a solid customer base. Much of the reason came down to cost and convenience: Electric car batteries are expensive, and charging them requires plug-in infrastructure that’s still sparse in the U.S.

Now Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spinout XL Hybrids is upfitting (and retrofitting) gas and diesel commercial vans and trucks with fuel-saving “add-on” electric powertrains whose batteries are charged through energy generated by braking .

According to tests conducted by the startup, the $8,000 system—which has been incorporated into hundreds of vans in the commercial fleets of Coca-Cola and FedEx, among others—can provide a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.



- Shown here are XL Hybrids' electric powertrain components (in brown) that attach to traditional gas and oil powertrains. These components include the traction motor (nearest the front), the drive motor (on the side) and the lithium-ion battery (at the rear). Image: XL Hybrids -


“The goal is to reduce oil consumption with cost-effective electric drive technology, where fleets don’t need additional infrastructure and don’t need a large battery,” says Tod Hynes, co-founding president of XL Hybrids and a lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

The system’s powertrain includes an electric traction motor, a lithium-ion battery, advanced power converters and other connecting components that attach to the powertrains of traditional General Motors and Ford cargo, delivery and shuttle vans, as well as cutaway trucks.

When the vehicles brake, a process known as “regenerative braking” captures the kinetic energy (usually dissipated as heat through friction) and converts it into electricity that charges the battery—which, in turn, releases the energy to the electric motor during acceleration.

Custom software reads the driver’s braking habits and optimizes the system. The startup also collects operational data from the vehicles to inform fleet managers of the best vehicles for the technology—usually ones traveling in the stop-and-go traffic of urban areas.

Over the past year, XL Hybrids—co-founded by Clay Siegert SM and Justin Ashton GM, who Hynes met through MIT’s entrepreneurial network—has seen its revenue grow twentyfold.

Last month, Fast Company ranked the startup No. 35 on its list of the world’s 50 most innovative companies, and third in energy-specific companies, trailing only Tesla Motors and General Electric. This week, the company was named an Energy Innovation Pioneer by the global analytics company IHS at CERAWeek, a leading international energy conference


Benefits by the numbers

Hybrids themselves have been around for decades, and other companies have started retrofitting vehicles with electric powertrains.

But XL Hybrids’ innovation comes from targeting commercial fleet vehicles with “a good value proposition all around,” Hynes says—offering low-cost equipment, quick installation, savings on gas and oil and easy integration.

“At the end of the day, it’s about making the economics work to compete against the price of fuel,” Hynes says, adding, “We’re able to do a lot with a little.”

Electric or hybrid fleet vehicles traditionally run on large batteries—sometimes more than 100 kWh in capacity—that cost upward of $40,000. XL Hybrids installs small, 1.8-kWh lithium-ion batteries that provide a 20% fuel savings, Hynes says.

To determine the extent of the savings, XL Hybrids conducted a dynamometer test, which involves running a vehicle on treadmill-like rollers to estimate fuel mileage in urban driving. They first ran a 5-ton vehicle through the test without XL Hybrids’ system and then with the system, observing a 21% savings.

With this savings, companies can expect to save 4,000 gallons of fuel over the life of an XL Hybrids system, Hynes says. Since the system costs $8,000, companies essentially pay $2 for each gallon saved. “Why pay $3 or $4 for a gallon, when you can pay $2 to save a gallon?” Hynes says.

Additional benefits to the system, Hynes says, include reducing brake wear and maintenance, and the time employees spend filling up at gas stations. Also, downsizing engines: An XL Hybrids electric motor adds torque to an existing powertrain, meaning a customer can reduce the size of the engine from, say, a 6-liter to a 4.8-liter, and get better acceleration—which can save hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront, Hynes says.

“When a fleet customer looks at the numbers, they want to see benefits based on fuel savings and engine downsizing,” Hynes says. “These other benefits are just gravy.”

While the system can be added as a retrofit, it’s generally installed as part of the modifications that most commercial fleet vehicles go through. This ease of integration helps set the company apart from the competition, Hynes says.

“The vehicles literally roll of the line and go to facilities where they’ll be modified anyway,” he says. “Manufacturers don’t need to change their manufacturing processes.”


Renewed energy

For Hynes, the path to entrepreneurship, alternative energy and XL Hybrids revolves around his alma mater.

As an MIT undergraduate in management in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hynes became “very passionate about startups.” With the Internet boom in full swing, he co-founded a couple of dot-coms, but began viewing “climate change and energy as the real challenges of my generation.”

After graduating, he co-founded the consulting and engineering services firm Strategic Energy Systems with two MIT alumni before taking a position as director of alternative energy at Citizens Energy in Boston.

Over five years, a few things came together: Alternative energy became a focus at MIT, which had launched, among other things, the MIT Energy Club (2004) and the MIT Energy Initiative (2006)—both of which Hynes became involved with. “I got more engaged with MIT as MIT got more engaged with energy,” he says.

At the same time, across the nation, clean energy ventures became much more profitable: For example, the wind industry grew from a $500 million industry to a $15 billion industry in five years.

But Hynes noticed that the nation didn’t have an electricity problem. “It has an oil problem,” he says. “We’re very dependent on oil: We rely on imports, and more than 95 percent of transportation fuel is oil.”

So he quit his job in 2008, with the aim of starting a company to cut oil consumption. With rising innovations in batteries and advanced power inverters and motors, Hynes “backed into a technological solution” with retrofitted electric powertrains.

Reconnecting with former mentor Bill Aulet, now managing director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, Hynes put the final pieces into place.

Hynes and Aulet co-founded MIT’s Clean Energy Prize in 2008; via the competition, Hynes met Ashton, his XL Hybrids co-founder. Through Aulet, he then met Siegert, a supply chain and logistics expert who had already founded a few startups.

The trio began “grinding away” in a garage in Somerville, Mass., conducting early trials on the Ford Crown Victoria and tweaking the specs. In 2011, they relocated to their current headquarters in Brighton, Mass., where they have ramped up production and are expanding their technology to fit different makes and models.

“A benefit of the design is we can make slight modifications to the system and incorporate it onto other vehicle makes and models, and rapidly scale across the industry,” Hynes says.

Coming full circle, Hynes now teaches at MIT, helping to walk students through the process of launching alternative-energy startups. Back on campus, he says the energy landscape has certainly expanded since he was an undergraduate—and even since he started XL Hybrids. "

"Soft robotic fish moves like the real thing, A new robotic fish can change direction almost as rapidly as a real fish" - MIT - Mar 13, 2014

- Larry Hardesty -
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2014/soft-robotic-fish-moves-l…

"Soft robots — which don’t just have soft exteriors but are also powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels — have become a sufficiently popular research topic that they now have their own journal, Soft Robotics. In the first issue of that journal, out this month, MIT researchers report the first self-contained autonomous soft robot capable of rapid body motion: a “fish” that can execute an escape maneuver, convulsing its body to change direction in just a fraction of a second, or almost as quickly as a real fish can.



- Andrew Marchese, doctoral candidate in EECS at MIT (right), and Dr. Daniela Rus, professor in EECS and Director of CSAIL, hold a soft robotic fish developed by the Distributed Robotics Laboratory.

“We’re excited about soft robots for a variety of reasons,” says Daniela Rus, a professor of computer science and engineering, director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and one of the researchers who designed and built the fish. “As robots penetrate the physical world and start interacting with people more and more, it’s much easier to make robots safe if their bodies are so wonderfully soft that there’s no danger if they whack you.”

Another reason to study soft robots, Rus says, is that “with soft machines, the whole robotic planning problem changes.” In most robotic motion-planning systems, avoiding collisions with the environment is the highest priority. That frequently leads to inefficient motion, because the robot has to settle for collision-free trajectories that it can find quickly.

With soft robots, collision poses little danger to either the robot or the environment. “In some cases, it is actually advantageous for these robots to bump into the environment, because they can use these points of contact as means of getting to the destination faster,” Rus says.

But the new robotic fish was designed to explore yet a third advantage of soft robots: “The fact that the body deforms continuously gives these machines an infinite range of configurations, and this is not achievable with machines that are hinged,” Rus says. The continuous curvature of the fish’s body when it flexes is what allows it to change direction so quickly. “A rigid-body robot could not do continuous bending,” she says.


Escape velocity

The robotic fish was built by Andrew Marchese, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and lead author on the new paper, where he’s joined by Rus and postdoc Cagdas D. Onal. Each side of the fish’s tail is bored through with a long, tightly undulating channel. Carbon dioxide released from a canister in the fish’s abdomen causes the channel to inflate, bending the tail in the opposite direction.

Each half of the fish tail has just two control parameters: the diameter of the nozzle that releases gas into the channel and the amount of time it’s left open. In experiments, Marchese found that the angle at which the fish changes direction — which can be as extreme as 100 degrees — is almost entirely determined by the duration of inflation, while its speed is almost entirely determined by the nozzle diameter. That “decoupling” of the two parameters, he says, is something that biologists had observed in real fish.

“To be honest, that’s not something I designed for,” Marchese says. “I designed for it to look like a fish, but we got the same inherent parameter decoupling that real fish have.” "





That points to yet another possible application of soft robotics, Rus says, in biomechanics. “If you build an artificial creature with a particular bio-inspired behavior, perhaps the solution for the engineered behavior could serve as a hypothesis for understanding whether nature might do it in the same way,” she says.

Marchese built the fish in Rus’ lab, where other researchers are working on printable robotics. He used the lab’s 3-D printer to build the mold in which he cast the fish’s tail and head from silicone rubber and the polymer ring that protects the electronics in the fish’s guts.


The long haul

The fish can perform 20 or 30 escape maneuvers, depending on their velocity and angle, before it exhausts its carbon dioxide canister. But the comparatively simple maneuver of swimming back and forth across a tank drains the canister quickly. “The fish was designed to explore performance capabilities, not long-term operation,” Marchese says. “Next steps for future research are taking that system and building something that’s compromised on performance a little bit but increases longevity.”

A new version of the fish that should be able to swim continuously for around 30 minutes will use pumped water instead of carbon dioxide to inflate the channels, but otherwise, it will use the same body design, Marchese says. Rus envisions that such a robot could infiltrate schools of real fish to gather detailed information about their behavior in the natural habitat.

“All of our algorithms and control theory are pretty much designed with the idea that we’ve got rigid systems with defined joints,” says Barry Trimmer, a biology professor at Tufts University who specializes in biomimetic soft robots. “That works really, really well as long as the world is pretty predictable. If you’re in a world that is not — which, to be honest, is everywhere outside a factory situation — then you start to lose some of your advantage.”

The premise of soft robotics, Trimmer says, is that “if we learn how to incorporate all these other sorts of materials whose response you can’t predict exactly, if we can learn to engineer that to deal with the uncertainty and still be able to control the machines, then we’re going to have much better machines.”

The MIT researchers’ robot fish “is a great demonstration of that principle,” Trimmer says. “It’s an early stage of saying, ‘We know the actuator isn’t giving us all the control we’d like, but can we actually still exploit it to get the performance we want?’ And they’re able to show that yes, they can.” "

"Surprisingly simple scheme for self-assembling robots, Small cubes with no exterior moving parts can propel themselves forward, jump on top of each other, +snap together to form arbitrary shapes" - MIT - Oct 3, 2013

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/simple-scheme-for-self-as…

"In 2011, when an MIT senior named John Romanishin proposed a new design for modular robots to his robotics professor, Daniela Rus, she said, “That can’t be done.”

Two years later, Rus showed her colleague Hod Lipson, a robotics researcher at Cornell University, a video of prototype robots, based on Romanishin’s design, in action. “That can’t be done,” Lipson said.

In November, Romanishin — now a research scientist in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) — Rus, and postdoc Kyle Gilpin will establish once and for all that it can be done, when they present a paper describing their new robots at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.

Known as M-Blocks, the robots are cubes with no external moving parts. Nonetheless, they’re able to climb over and around one another, leap through the air, roll across the ground, and even move while suspended upside down from metallic surfaces.

Inside each M-Block is a flywheel that can reach speeds of 20,000 revolutions per minute; when the flywheel is braked, it imparts its angular momentum to the cube. On each edge of an M-Block, and on every face, are cleverly arranged permanent magnets that allow any two cubes to attach to each other.

“It’s one of these things that the [modular-robotics] community has been trying to do for a long time,” says Rus, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science and director of CSAIL. “We just needed a creative insight and somebody who was passionate enough to keep coming at it — despite being discouraged.”






Embodied abstraction

As Rus explains, researchers studying reconfigurable robots have long used an abstraction called the sliding-cube model. In this model, if two cubes are face to face, one of them can slide up the side of the other and, without changing orientation, slide across its top.

The sliding-cube model simplifies the development of self-assembly algorithms, but the robots that implement them tend to be much more complex devices. Rus’ group, for instance, previously developed a modular robot called the Molecule, which consisted of two cubes connected by an angled bar and had 18 separate motors. “We were quite proud of it at the time,” Rus says.

According to Gilpin, existing modular-robot systems are also “statically stable,” meaning that “you can pause the motion at any point, and they’ll stay where they are.” What enabled the MIT researchers to drastically simplify their robots’ design was giving up on the principle of static stability.

“There’s a point in time when the cube is essentially flying through the air,” Gilpin says. “And you are depending on the magnets to bring it into alignment when it lands. That’s something that’s totally unique to this system.”

That’s also what made Rus skeptical about Romanishin’s initial proposal. “I asked him build a prototype,” Rus says. “Then I said, ‘OK, maybe I was wrong.’”


Sticking the landing

To compensate for its static instability, the researchers’ robot relies on some ingenious engineering. On each edge of a cube are two cylindrical magnets, mounted like rolling pins. When two cubes approach each other, the magnets naturally rotate, so that north poles align with south, and vice versa. Any face of any cube can thus attach to any face of any other.

The cubes’ edges are also beveled, so when two cubes are face to face, there’s a slight gap between their magnets. When one cube begins to flip on top of another, the bevels, and thus the magnets, touch. The connection between the cubes becomes much stronger, anchoring the pivot. On each face of a cube are four more pairs of smaller magnets, arranged symmetrically, which help snap a moving cube into place when it lands on top of another.

As with any modular-robot system, the hope is that the modules can be miniaturized: the ultimate aim of most such research is hordes of swarming microbots that can self-assemble, like the “liquid steel” androids in the movie “Terminator II.” And the simplicity of the cubes’ design makes miniaturization promising.

But the researchers believe that a more refined version of their system could prove useful even at something like its current scale. Armies of mobile cubes could temporarily repair bridges or buildings during emergencies, or raise and reconfigure scaffolding for building projects. They could assemble into different types of furniture or heavy equipment as needed. And they could swarm into environments hostile or inaccessible to humans, diagnose problems, and reorganize themselves to provide solutions.


Strength in diversity

The researchers also imagine that among the mobile cubes could be special-purpose cubes, containing cameras, or lights, or battery packs, or other equipment, which the mobile cubes could transport. “In the vast majority of other modular systems, an individual module cannot move on its own,” Gilpin says. “If you drop one of these along the way, or something goes wrong, it can rejoin the group, no problem.”

“It’s one of those things that you kick yourself for not thinking of,” Cornell’s Lipson says. “It’s a low-tech solution to a problem that people have been trying to solve with extraordinarily high-tech approaches.”

“What they did that was very interesting is they showed several modes of locomotion,” Lipson adds. “Not just one cube flipping around, but multiple cubes working together, multiple cubes moving other cubes — a lot of other modes of motion that really open the door to many, many applications, much beyond what people usually consider when they talk about self-assembly. They rarely think about parts dragging other parts — this kind of cooperative group behavior.”

In ongoing work, the MIT researchers are building an army of 100 cubes, each of which can move in any direction, and designing algorithms to guide them. “We want hundreds of cubes, scattered randomly across the floor, to be able to identify each other, coalesce, and autonomously transform into a chair, or a ladder, or a desk, on demand,” Romanishin says.

Self-sculpting sand , New algorithms could enable heaps of ‘smart sand’ that can assume any shape, allowing spontaneous formation of new tools or duplication of broken mechanical parts - MIT - Apr 1, 2012

"Imagine that you have a big box of sand in which you bury a tiny model of a footstool. A few seconds later, you reach into the box and pull out a full-size footstool: The sand has assembled itself into a large-scale replica of the model



- To test their algorithm, the researchers designed and built a system of 'smart pebbles' — cubes about 10 millimeters to an edge, with processors and magnets built in.

That may sound like a scene from a Harry Potter novel, but it’s the vision animating a research project at the Distributed Robotics Laboratory (DRL) at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in May — the world’s premier robotics conference — DRL researchers will present a paper describing algorithms that could enable such “smart sand.” They also describe experiments in which they tested the algorithms on somewhat larger particles — cubes about 10 millimeters to an edge, with rudimentary microprocessors inside and very unusual magnets on four of their sides.

Unlike many other approaches to reconfigurable robots, smart sand uses a subtractive method, akin to stone carving, rather than an additive method, akin to snapping LEGO blocks together. A heap of smart sand would be analogous to the rough block of stone that a sculptor begins with. The individual grains would pass messages back and forth and selectively attach to each other to form a three-dimensional object; the grains not necessary to build that object would simply fall away. When the object had served its purpose, it would be returned to the heap. Its constituent grains would detach from each other, becoming free to participate in the formation of a new shape.


Distributed intelligence

Algorithmically, the main challenge in developing smart sand is that the individual grains would have very few computational resources. “How do you develop efficient algorithms that do not waste any information at the level of communication and at the level of storage?” asks Daniela Rus, a professor of computer science and engineering at MIT and a co-author on the new paper, together with her student Kyle Gilpin. If every grain could simply store a digital map of the object to be assembled, “then I can come up with an algorithm in a very easy way,” Rus says. “But we would like to solve the problem without that requirement, because that requirement is simply unrealistic when you’re talking about modules at this scale.” Furthermore, Rus says, from one run to the next, the grains in the heap will be jumbled together in a completely different way. “We’d like to not have to know ahead of time what our block looks like,” Rus says.



- To attach to each other, to communicate and to share power, the cubes use 'electropermanent magnets,' materials whose magnetism can be switched on and off with jolts of electricity. Each cube has magnets — recognizable by the reddish wires wrapped around them — on four of its six faces.

Conveying shape information to the heap with a simple physical model — such as the tiny footstool — helps address both of these problems. To get a sense of how the researchers’ algorithm works, it’s probably easiest to consider the two-dimensional case. Picture each grain of sand as a square in a two-dimensional grid. Now imagine that some of the squares — say, in the shape of a footstool — are missing. That’s where the physical model is embedded.

According to Gilpin — lead author on the new paper — the grains first pass messages to each other to determine which have missing neighbors. (In the grid model, each square could have eight neighbors.) Grains with missing neighbors are in one of two places: the perimeter of the heap or the perimeter of the embedded shape.

Once the grains surrounding the embedded shape identify themselves, they simply pass messages to other grains a fixed distance away, which in turn identify themselves as defining the perimeter of the duplicate. If the duplicate is supposed to be 10 times the size of the original, each square surrounding the embedded shape will map to 10 squares of the duplicate’s perimeter. Once the perimeter of the duplicate is established, the grains outside it can disconnect from their neighbors.


Rapid prototyping

The same algorithm can be varied to produce multiple, similarly sized copies of a sample shape, or to produce a single, large copy of a large object. “Say the tire rod in your car has sheared,” Gilpin says. “You could duct tape it back together, put it into your system and get a new one.”

The cubes — or “smart pebbles” — that Gilpin and Rus built to test their algorithm enact the simplified, two-dimensional version of the system. Four faces of each cube are studded with so-called electropermanent magnets, materials that can be magnetized or demagnetized with a single electric pulse. Unlike permanent magnets, they can be turned on and off; unlike electromagnets, they don’t require a constant current to maintain their magnetism. The pebbles use the magnets not only to connect to each other but also to communicate and to share power. Each pebble also has a tiny microprocessor, which can store just 32 kilobytes of program code and has only two kilobytes of working memory.

The pebbles have magnets on only four faces, Gilpin explains, because, with the addition of the microprocessor and circuitry to regulate power, “there just wasn’t room for two more magnets.” But Gilpin and Rus performed computer simulations showing that their algorithm would work with a three-dimensional block of cubes, too, by treating each layer of the block as its own two-dimensional grid. The cubes discarded from the final shape would simply disconnect from the cubes above and below them as well as those next to them.

True smart sand, of course, would require grains much smaller than 10-millimeter cubes. But according to Robert Wood, an associate professor of electrical engineering at Harvard University, that’s not an insurmountable obstacle. “Take the core functionalities of their pebbles,” says Wood, who directs Harvard’s Microrobotics Laboratory. “They have the ability to latch onto their neighbors; they have the ability to talk to their neighbors; they have the ability to do some computation. Those are all things that are certainly feasible to think about doing in smaller packages.”

“It would take quite a lot of engineering to do that, of course,” Wood cautions. “That’s a well-posed but very difficult set of engineering challenges that they could continue to address in the future.” "

Copper price meltdown continues, on Chinese economic shocks ; Chinese premier says country has "very limited space for maneuver in carrying out fiscal +monetary policy" +faces "multiple tough choices, in exercising macro-control" - M.com - Mar 13, 2014

- F. Els -
www.mining.com/copper-price-meltdown-continues-on-chinese-ec…

"In lunchtime trade in New York trade May copper changed hands at just below $2.92 a pound, down 1.5% to the lowest level for the most active futures contract since June 2010.

A steady stream of dismal economic numbers out of China – responsible for 42% of total global copper demand – have pushed the price of the red metal down more than 9% since just this Friday.

Data released by China's Statistics Bureau this morning shows industrial production, fixed asset investment and retail sales data for January and February – combined in order to reduce the seasonal effect of Chinese New Year – all coming in way below expectations.

Year-on-year industrial production growth dropped from 9.7% in December to 8.6% in January and February and came in almost full percentage point below consensus forecast.

Signs that Chinese authorities are doing everything they can to throttle back debt-fueled growth and rein in lumbering state-owned enterprises are evident from an almost halving in the growth achieved by the state sector to 4.4%.

Investment growth – the engine of China's economic growth for decades – was pegged at 17.9%, down from 19.6% and versus forecasts of 19.4% expansion after property sales and new construction contracted.

What must be particularly worrying for China's new leadership, which is attempting to transform China from an investment-driven to a consumption-led the economy, is that retail sales growth also declined.

Consumer spending dropped from 13.6% to 11.8% despite the recent strength in income growth.

Today's weak data comes on the heels of weekend figures showing Chinese overall exports slid a stunning 18.1% year-on-year and imports of copper fell 30% in February from the month before.

As for the Chinese government stepping in to stimulate the economy should the slowdown turn into a crash, the news on that front is not great either.

China recorded its first corporate bond default last week when a solar company Shanghai Chaori went belly-up, sending shock-waves through industry.

In a press conference this morning at the conclusion of the National People's Congress, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang warned that more defaults will be allowed and that economy faces "severe challenges.":

"very limited space for maneuver in carrying out fiscal and monetary policy" and face "multiple tough choices in exercising macro-control."

Li noted that the biggest challenge was the increased downward pressure on China's economic growth, acknowledging "very limited space for maneuver in carrying out fiscal and monetary policy" and face "multiple tough choices in exercising macro-control."

Given its widespread use in transportation, manufacturing and construction, the metal is often referred to as Dr Copper and price trends used to prognosticate on the health of an economy.

But the current slump in the market for copper has been exacerbated by distortions in the Chinese market for copper where the red metal is often used as collateral for loans.

Estimates put the portion of warehoused copper in China used for financing at as much as 60%.

The worsening credit situation in the country could see the copper market enter a vicious circle.

Borrowers, forced by their bankers to repay loans will have to sell the metal into an already well supplied market and in the process push down market prices even further. "

Nine Chinese Cities Outpaced Beijing in Air Pollution in `13, Report Finds - CT/YE360/GP/TG - Mar 13, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/13/nine-chinese-cities-…
www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/mar/12/china-smog-pollu…

"China’s air pollution problems are more severe and widespread than previously thought, with nine cities experiencing more days of extreme air pollution than Beijing in 2013, according to a new analysis by Greenpeace’s Energy Desk. Fine particulate (PM2.5) pollution plagued dozens of cities and millions of people in China — most of them outside of Beijing, although the Chinese capital captured the most air pollution headlines last year.

The city of Xingtai, southwest of the capital, fared worst, with 129 days of emergency air pollution — more than doubling Beijing’s 60 days. More than half of the cities in the top 10 are in Hebei province south of Beijing, where many steel, cement, and coal-fired power plants are located.

“There are now millions of Chinese people living in cities with air pollution above emergency levels for a third of the year, while other urban areas have gone a whole 12-month period with hardly any days of good-quality air,” said a member of Greenpeace’s East Asia climate and energy campaign. Beijing had only 13 days ranked as “good” on the U.S. air quality scale, along with one day considered “beyond index,” or off the pollution scale. "

"With nearly 128 million residential housing units existed in the U.S., if green building is going to mitigate the negative impacts that human activity has on the planet, green building must include houses.

Preparations for the development of the 2015 version of the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard are underway and there are opportunities for you to participate.

The ICC 700 applies to the design and construction of the housing units, including the residential portions of buildings. Today there are more than 30,000 ICC 700 certified homes and lots. By comparison there are over 50,000 LEED for Homes certified residential units; and in an earlier post I blogged that beginning February 1, 2014, LEED for Homes v2008 Update to be Balloted.

Home Innovation Research Labs has issued a call for Consensus Committee applications and proposed changes to the current ICC 700-2012. Home Innovation Research Labs is an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders and will act as the secretariat of the code development process. While self titled a “standard” the ICC 700 is actually a code that can also be used as a rating system for third party verification of greenness.

The 2015 version of the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard will be the third iteration of this residential code. It was originally developed by a Consensus Committee and approved in January 2009. The ICC 700 was updated in 2012 and approved in January 2013.

Home Innovation Labs has issued a call for members of the Consensus Committee that will be charged with developing the update, which will ideally include government officials, advocacy groups, home builders, product manufacturers, and other affected industry stakeholders in residential construction. The committee members and other interested parties will be assigned to task groups, each specializing in a different area such as energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, or lot and site development. Those who would like to apply to serve on the Consensus Committee or a Task Group must submit their applications online by March 16, 2014.

Home Innovation also announced a call for proposed changes to the 2012 edition of the ICC 700. Individuals and groups can submit their proposed changes to the NGBS online by March 24, 2014. Task groups will review the proposed changes and develop committee proposals in early 2014.

The Consensus Committee will hold two hearings in Washington, D.C., in 2014. At the end of the second hearing, Consensus Committee members will take formal action on all proposed changes. Once the committee has completed its work, the newly updated ICC 700 will be submitted to ANSI for approval in early 2015.

In an earlier post I described how ICC 700 Residential Green Certifications Will More Than Double in 2014 creating huge opportunities. You can learn about those opportunities by participating in the new and updated ICC 700. "

"The latest effort by the Obama administration to streamline government technologies and thus improve constituent services is 18F, a new unit within the General Services Administration.

The project presses 16 or so hotshot presidential innovation fellows into service to, I’m guessing, avoid the sort of embarrassing meltdowns that affected Healthcare.gov. (But there have been glitches already — as of 9:40 a.m. ET, the 18f web site, which went live on Wednesday night, was inaccessible for some time, and then returned as a place marker.)

18F’s job (in the words of the tumblr post announcing the effort) is to “hack bureaucracy to drive efficiency, transparency and savings for government agencies and the American people.” And its work will be freely available for reuse — here’s the 18f github page.

The name itself apparently comes from the fact that the effort was hatched on 18th and F streets in D.C. (hat tip to @arowla).

"Innovative solar-powered toilet ready, for India unveiling", using a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - R&DM/B&MGF/UoC - Mar 14, 2014
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/03/innovative-solar-powered-toilet-r…

"A revolutionary Univ. of Colorado Boulder toilet fueled by the sun that is being developed to help some of the 2.5 billion people around the world lacking safe and sustainable sanitation will be unveiled in India this month.

The self-contained, waterless toilet, designed and built using a $777,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has the capability of heating human waste to a high enough temperature to sterilize human waste and create biochar, a highly porous charcoal, said project principal investigator Karl Linden, professor of environmental engineering. The biochar has a one-two punch in that it can be used to both increase crop yields and sequester carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.



- CU-Boulder postdoctoral researcher Tesfayohanes Yakob, left, and research engineer Dana Haushulz are shown here with a novel solar-thermal toilet developed by a team led by CU-Boulder Professor Karl Linden as part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's "Reinvent the Toilet Challenge" to improve sanitation and hygiene in developing countries. Image: Univ. of Colorado -


The project is part of the Gates Foundation’s “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge ,” an effort to develop a next-generation toilet that can be used to disinfect liquid and solid waste while generating useful end products , both in developing and developed nations, said Linden. Since the 2012 grant, Linden and his CU-Boulder team have received an additional $1 million from the Gates Foundation for the project, which includes a team of more than a dozen faculty, research professionals and students, many working full time on the effort.

According to the Gates Foundation, the awards recognize researchers who are developing ways to manage human waste that will help improve the health and lives of people around the world. Unsafe methods to capture and treat human waste result in serious health problems and death—food and water tainted with pathogens from fecal matter results in the deaths of roughly 700,000 children each year.

Linden’s team is one of 16 around the world funded by the Gates “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge” since 2011. All have shipped their inventions to Delhi, where they will be on display March 22 for scientists, engineers and dignitaries. Other institutional winners of the grants range from Caltech to Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and the National University of Singapore.

The CU-Boulder invention consists of eight parabolic mirrors that focus concentrated sunlight to a spot no larger than a postage stamp on a quartz-glass rod connected to eight bundles of fiber-optic cables, each consisting of thousands of intertwined, fused fibers, said Linden. The energy generated by the sun and transferred to the fiber-optic cable system—similar in some ways to a data transmission line—can heat up the reaction chamber to over 600 F to treat the waste material, disinfect pathogens in both feces and urine, and produce char.

“Biochar is a valuable material,” said Linden. “It has good water holding capacity and it can be used in agricultural areas to hold in nutrients and bring more stability to the soils.” A soil mixture containing 10 percent biochar can hold up to 50 percent more water and increase the availability of plant nutrients, he said. Additionally, the biochar can be burned as charcoal and provides energy comparable to that of commercial charcoal.

Linden is working closely with project co-investigators Professor R. Scott Summers of environmental engineering and Professor Alan Weimer chemical and biological engineering and a team of postdoctoral fellows, professionals, graduate students, undergraduates and a high school student.

“We are doing something that has never been done before,” said Linden. “While the idea of concentrating solar energy is not new, transmitting it flexibly to a customizable location via fiber-optic cables is the really unique aspect of this project.” The interdisciplinary project requires chemical engineers for heat transfer and solar energy work, environmental engineers for waste treatment and stabilization, mechanical engineers to build actuators and moving parts and electrical engineers to design control systems, Linden said.

Tests have shown that each of the eight fiber-optic cables can produce between 80 and 90 watts of energy, meaning the whole system can deliver up to 700 watts of energy into the reaction chamber, said Linden. In late December, tests at CU-Boulder showed the solar energy directed into the reaction chamber could easily boil water and effectively carbonize solid waste.

While the current toilet has been created to serve four to six people a day, a larger facility that could serve several households simultaneously is under design with the target of meeting a cost level of five cents a day per user set by the Gates Foundation. “We are continuously looking for ways to improve efficiency and lower costs,” he said.

“The great thing about the Gates Foundation is that they provide all of the teams with the resources they need,” Linden said. “The foundation is not looking for one toilet and one solution from one team. They are nurturing unique ideas and looking at what the individual teams bring overall to the knowledge base.”

Linden, who called the 16 teams a “family of researchers,” said the foundation has funded trips for CU-Boulder team members to collaborate with the other institutions in places like Switzerland, South Africa and North Carolina. “Instead of sink or swim funding, they want every team to succeed. In some ways we are like a small startup company, and it’s unlike any other project I have worked on during my career,” he said.

CU-Boulder team member Elizabeth Travis from Parker, Colo., who is working toward a master’s degree in the engineering college’s Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities, said her interest in water and hygiene made the Reinvent the Toilet project a good fit. “It is a really cool research project and a great team,” she said. “Everyone is very creative, patient and supportive, and there is a lot of innovation. It is exciting to learn from all of the team members.”

“We have a lot of excitement and energy on our team, and the Gates Foundation values that,” Linden said. “It is one thing to do research, another to screw on nuts and bolts and make something that can make a difference. To me, that’s the fun part, and the project is a nice fit for CU-Boulder because we have a high interest in developing countries and expertise in all of the renewable energy technologies as well as sanitation.”

The CU-Boulder team is now applying for phase two of the Gates Foundation Reinvent the Toilet grant to develop a field-worthy system to deploy in a developing country based on their current design, and assess other technologies that may enhance the toilet system, including the use of high-temperature fluids that can collect, retain and deliver heat.

Amsterdam canal house built , with 3-D printer - R&DM/AP, AMSTERDAM - Mar 14, 2014

http://3dprintcanalhouse.com

"Hundreds of years after wealthy merchants began building the tall, narrow brick houses that have come to define Amsterdam's skyline, Dutch architects are updating the process for the 21st century: fabricating pieces of a canal house out of plastic with a giant 3-D printer and slotting them together like oversized Lego blocks.

Hedwig Heinsman of architect bureau Dus says the goal of the demonstration project launched this month is not so much to print a functioning house—in fact, parts of the house will likely be built and re-built several times over the course of three years as 3-D printing technology develops.

Rather, it is to discover and share the potential uses of 3-D printing in construction by creating new materials, trying out designs and testing building techniques to see what works.

"There's only one way to find out," she says. "By doing it."

Dutch architecture firm Dus has embarked on a project to build a 21st-century version of a classic Amsterdam canal house, printing it out piece by piece with an oversized 3-D printer, and then slotting them together like oversized Lego blocks. AP Photo/Peter Dejong -


She envisions a future in which personalized architecture may be custom-crafted on the spot, or perhaps selected from an online store for architectural designs, downloaded and tweaked.

At the core of the project is a 6-m (20-foot) -tall printer dubbed the Kamermaker, or "room-builder." It's a scaled-up version of the open-source home 3-D printer made by Ultimaker, popular with hobbyists.

It takes the Kamermaker about a week to print each massive, unique, honeycomb-structured block, layer by layer. The first block, which forms one corner of the house and part of a stairway, weighed around 180 kg (400 lbs).

The blocks will later be filled with a foam material, still under development, that will harden like concrete to add additional weight and bind the blocks together.

Dus expects to add more printers and change designs along the way, with help from Dutch construction company Heijmans, German chemicals manufacturer Henkel, and anybody else who wants to participate and can make useful contributions.

The construction site in northern Amsterdam is also an exhibition, open to the public for 2.50 euros ($3.00). "

Interlocking segments "might be 3-D printed, assembled into parts" - R&DM/PU/USARL, WEST LAFAYETTE - Nov 9, 2013

"Purdue Univ. researchers are working with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to develop a technology for creating parts out of interlocking segments produced using 3-D printing to repair vehicles and other equipment in the field.

The Purdue portion of the research focuses on building blocks called "topologically interlocking structures" said Thomas Siegmund, a professor of mechanical engineering.

"You could think of it as clever Legos," said Siegmund, currently on leave from Purdue to serve as program director of the Mechanics of Materials Division at the National Science Foundation. "We create a shape from individual pieces or building blocks.”

The building blocks could be in the shape of cubes, faceted tetrahedral or other geometries, and might be created layer-by-layer using a 3-D printer. Then, these components might be assembled into parts for vehicles or other equipment.

The surface topology is important because these building blocks have to be arranged relative to each other in an appropriate fashion that functions," said Siegmund, working with postdoctoral research associate Yuezhong Feng. "You could make a brick wall in the classical sense, one brick on top of another. But then they can easily be knocked out of place. However, if you take the same bricks and tilt them so the edges are facing you, you get this topological interlocking structure, one inclined face interlocking with the next inclined face, and so on."

Such interlocking structures might be able to absorb vibration and withstand shock better than conventional structures. The researchers are developing computational models and conducting experiments in a laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Building.

Parts might be created from layers or particles, an approach called "additive manufacturing," Siegmund said.

"In our case we create each geometrical building block and then go to the next dimension by layering these building blocks into parts," Siegmund said. "So it's a multidimensional additive manufacturing."

Purdue is collaborating with the Army Research Laboratory, and the Army Research Office funds the work.

Siegmund also is leading related work funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program that has been supported by the Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology fund and Purdue's Center for Advanced Manufacturing.

The research focuses on developing "metamaterials" possessing new mechanical and acoustical properties.

"These materials obtain their properties not from composition but structure, and have the potential to possess properties not found in natural materials," he said. "The materials possess ideal damage tolerance and can be hybridized by changing both composition and structure." "

"Ignorieren Sie das Börsengeschnatter, halten Sie es einfach und genießen Sie die Wochen ohne Kursgeflimmer. Das ist kein Rat von der Bank, sondern von einem der es wissen muss: Der Multi-Milliardär Warren Buffett lebt es vor.

Genau diesen Eindruck vermittelt ein Vorabdruck seines Aktionärsbriefs, den das Wirtschaftsmagazin Forbes via CNN Money veröffentlicht hat.

http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2014/02/24/warren-buffett-ber…


Kaufe den Markt, nicht die Expertenmeinungen

- Markt- und Wirtschaftsprognosen seien nicht nur schwierig. Besonders wenn sie von anderen stammen, sogar höchst gewagt. Es bestehe die Gefahr, dass die eigene Meinung abgelenkt werden kann von den wirklich wichtigen Dingen.

- Wichtig sei die Produktivität des Vermögenswertes. Können Sie diesen nicht einschätzen, suchen Sie ein besseres Investment.

- Die Zukunft kann keiner vorhersehen. Deshalb sei ein Indexfond (ETF) auf einen breiten Aktienindex eine gute Basis.

- Meiden Sie schnelle Profitversprechen und halten Sie es einfach.

- Genießen Sie die Zeit am Wochenende und dazwischen, ohne ständig auf die Börse zu schauen.


Die Informationsdiät kann ich nur empfehlen. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen Lesern ein börsenfreies Wochenende!

PS: Das hat der Meister zwar nicht gesagt, aber wie wäre es mit einem kleinen Investment in seine Holding Berkshire Hathaway, wenn man sich von der absehbaren Nachfolgeregelung nicht abhalten lässt?

German Companies "Go Off the Grid" - CT/3BLM - Mar 14, 2014

- J. Howell -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/14/german-companies-go-…

"In Germany, one in every six companies now generates its own electricity. 16 percent of all German companies produced their own power last year, according to the German Chamber of Commerce, up from about 10 percent a year earlier. 23 percent more companies are considering joining this trend. Companies as large as Dow Chemical, with a plant that consumes one percent of the entire country’s electricity, and as small as rural, family-owned businesses, are investing in their own power-generation infrastructure. The driver is the 22 percent government-mandated levy to fund renewable energy sources, which has resulted in high electricity prices.

Because Germany plans to drop nuclear power within the next eight years, and most fossil fuels by mid-century, it’s promoting solar, wind, and other green, renewable energy sources by delivering subsidies for their adoption. Generating their own power saves companies from the surcharge, and also makes them eligible for the subsidies that encourage energy efficiency and renewable- energy sourced electricity. Costs can be cut by as much as 50 percent by avoiding the surcharge and collecting those subsidies. It’s a bottom line approach that offers real profits to those companies who are making the investment in energy of the future. "

GM to Produce 500.000 Vehicles With Electric Technology, Within 5 Years - CT/YE360 - Nov 16, 2012
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2012/11/16/gm-to-produce-500000…

"General Motors aims to build as many as 500,000 vehicles that utilize some sort of electric technology by 2017.

Speaking to reporters this week, GM’s product development chief, Mary Barra, said the company’s fleet of cleaner vehicles will include the plug-in Chevrolet Volt; the all-electric Spark EV, which will go on sale in some markets next year; and cars that utilize the eAssist technologies, which can improve efficiency in some vehicles by as much as 25 percent.

A half-million vehicles would represent about 5 percent of the company’s global sales last year; GM expects to sell 50,000 vehicles equipped with electric technologies this year. While the market for electric cars is sluggish, Barra said plug-in vehicles remain central to the company’s strategy.

Like all automakers, GM will need to offer more fuel-efficient vehicles to meet stricter U.S. auto emissions standards that will be in place in 2025. Ford, the second-largest automaker, has said that plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will account for one-quarter of its sales by 2020. "

The Five Most Energy-Efficient Electric Vehicles - CT/eBGD - Mar 14, 2014

- Brad Berman -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/14/the-five-most-energy…

"By now, most car shoppers have become well acquainted with the concept of fuel economy. For each vehicle model, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides official highway and city miles per gallon (mpg) ratings, which are displayed on window stickers at the dealership. But if you walk over to a plug-in electric vehicle you’ll see a different rating on its window sticker: MPGe, or miles per gallon gasoline equivalent.

Just like gas-powered cars, some electric vehicles are more efficient than others, except instead of using less gasoline, these cars require less electricity to run. The EPA calculates this by substituting the equivalent electrical energy contained in one gallon of gasoline (roughly 34 kilowatt-hours) into the standard efficiency tests it does on all cars.

Since all electric vehicles run much more efficiently than internal combustion cars, an EV like the Nissan Leaf can travel 114 miles on the equivalent energy of just one gallon of gasoline.

It’s no surpise that the smallest, most urban-friendly vehicles tend to get the highest efficiency among electrics. Factors affecting MPGe include weight, aerodynamics and powertrain design. Just as with gas cars, the more powerful the drivetrain, the less efficient a car is likely to be. This explains why the luxurious high- performance Tesla Model S has the lowest MPGe of any electric sedan.

But for EV shoppers most interested in saving fuel—and the greenhouse gas emissions that result from burning it—high MPGe could be a more attractive feature than 0-60 time. Among compact EVs, several models are as much as 15 to 20 percent more efficient than the pack. Here are the five best performers:


Chevy Spark EV (119 MPGe): The Chevy Spark EV (pictured above) debuted last year with the highest MPGe of any plug-in and hasn’t relinquished its title yet. Available only in California and Oregon, the Spark EV can be leased for as low as $199 per month at some Chevy dealerships.

Honda Fit EV (118 MPGe): Coming in a close second, the Honda Fit EV’s 118 MPGe helps it to handily best other compact electrics with a range of 82 miles per charge. Honda will soon end production on the Fit EV, so interested shoppers will have to get on a waiting list soon in order to have a chance at landing one.

Fiat 500e (116 MPGe): Fiat’s stylish little electric city car can only be purchased in California, where state incentives bring its price tag down to just north of $20,500.

Nissan Leaf (115 MPGe): As a mid-size sedan, the EV is roomier than any of the other vehicles on this list but still manages an impressive 115 MPGe thanks to range-adding improvements Nissan added to the car last year. The Leaf can be purchased in all 50 states.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV (112 MPGe): Mitsubishi cut the price tag of the 2014 i-MiEV to less than $15,500 last year and added a host of new standard features. "

The U.S. "seems ready to give up control , of the internet "; The NTIA made a surprising announcement Friday when it said it might relinquish control of the contract that is awarded to ICANN for managing what acts as an address book for the internet - GO/DoD/IANA - Mar 14, 2014

- S. Higginbotham -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/14/the-u-s-seems-ready-to-give-up-…

"The U.S. Department of Commerce is apparently seeking alternative bids for control of the domain name system registry that acts as the address book for the entire web. Inside the Department of Commerce is the National Telecommunication Industry Association (NTIA), which happens to have purview over some spectrum assets, a few agencies spending federal money on broadband and the contract for the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

That contract currently is managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number (ICANN), but it is set to expire in September 2015. And apparently the NTIA doesn’t want to oversee that contract involving the management of IANA anymore. In a press conference Friday, NTIA Administrator Larry Strickling said, “NTIA is asking ICANN to convene global stakeholders to develop a proposal to transition the current role played by NTIA.”

While a bit of a surprise, the move makes sense given that for years, the U.S. involvement in ICANN has caused some consternation among other countries, and recently the call to make ICANN more independent from the U.S. have only grown.

In the wake of the Edward Snowden revelations showing that the U.S. National Security Agency has been spying on world leaders, U.S. citizens and hacking into private companies to get access to their networks, world leaders have been calling on the U.S. to relinquish control over the internet.

So what’s next for control of the internet if the NTIA doesn’t control that contract? That’s going to be the stuff of discussion over the next year and half as ICANN and stakeholders discuss how the internet should be governed. Thankfully, many stakeholders have started that discussion already. "

"Regulators in Netherlands this week opened the door for any company — whether Apple, Audi or your local electric utility — to issue its own SIM cards configured to no particular carrier. This is just one country changing its rules, but if other countries follow suit, it could have big implications for the internet of things and even change the way we buy mobile service.

A few years ago in a Gigaom post, European economist and policy analyst Rudolf van der Berg explained how such a setup could work for Apple if it chose to shed the carrier yoke and sell connectivity directly to its iPhone customers. Basically Apple would provide SIM cards to all of its customers, and then remotely assign them different carrier networks as customers activated their service.



- Source: Flickr / mroach -


Apple could buy data and voice services in bulk from hundreds of different carriers around the world and then pick which network would be most appropriate for each of its customers at any given time. So if an iPhone user left his home country for a vacation in France, for instance, he wouldn’t get charged the usual high roaming rates. Instead Apple would just reassign his SIM card to one of the French networks. Instead of being a guest roaming onto a French carrier’s networks, he’d be at “home” anywhere in the world.

Whether an Apple or a Samsung has any interest in becoming a carrier to its customers remains to be seen — back in 2010, Gigaom reported that Apple was working on such a soft-SIM, though nothing seemed to come of it — but it could be of enormous use in the machine-to-machine (M2M) communications world, van der Berg told me in an email exchange this week.

Take a car company like GM, which is putting LTE connectivity into all of its cars. In the U.S., GM is locked down to a single operator. It doesn’t matter if you buy your smartphone plan from Verizon or T-Mobile; if you want to connect your Chevy to an LTE network, you have one choice: AT&T.

With a carrier agnostic-SIM, a carmaker could attach your car to whatever carrier to you happen to have relationship with and change your connection whenever you switched carriers. Or it could run a managed service with multiple carriers, connecting to whomever’s network had the best capacity or coverage wherever you happened to be driving, said van der Berg, who is now with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).




While some carriers might be opposed to that concept, the mobile industry overall would benefit, van Berg said. In the internet of things, there is a lot of resistance to connecting gadgets and appliances to the cellular network because doing so would require device makers to lock into a carrier. But a programmable SIM card would alleviate that burden, making cellular connectivity much more attractive, van der Berg said.

Of course, we’re still a long way from this kind of carrier-agnostic networking become a reality. The Netherlands has eased its rules, and the GSM Association is behind the concept, but the network-less SIM is still illegal in almost every country in the world, van der Berg said.

And even with legal barriers lifted in Holland, there are technical limitations that need to be overcome, van Berg said. Still, getting Dutch regulators on board was a big victory, setting an example that van der Berg hopes other governments will follow.


Correction: This post previously stated that a network-agnostic SIM is also legal in the U.S. and Germany. That’s the not the case. It is allowed only in the Netherlands. "

"7 takeaways from Bill Gates’ Rolling Stone interview"; The Microsoft co-founder follows in the footsteps of John Lennon, Mick Jagger +other luminaries, to be the latest subject of the Rolling Stone interview - GO/RS - Mar 14, 2014

- B. Darrow -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/14/7-takeaways-from-bill-gates-rol…
www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/bill-gates-the-rolling-sto…
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/04/nadellas-the-one-microsoft-name…

"As Bill Gates forges a new role at Microsoft advising new CEO Satya Nadella, his interview with Rolling Stone‘s Jeff Goodell is a must-read — so, seriously, read all of it. But for now, here are seven key points.


1. What the $19 billion WhatsApp acquisition says about Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg

“It means that Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to be the next Facebook. Mark has the credibility to say, ‘I’m going to spend $19 billion to buy something that has essentially no revenue model.’ I think his aggressiveness is wise — although the price is higher than I would have expected.” … Microsoft would have been willing to buy it, too. . . . I don’t know for $19 billion, but the company’s extremely valuable.


2: On how Zuckerberg differs from Gates

“I give him more credit for shaping the user interface of his product. He’s more of a product manager than I was. I’m more of a coder, down in the bowels and the architecture, than he is.”


3: Edward Snowden: Hero or villain?

“I think he broke the law, so I certainly wouldn’t characterize him as a hero.”


4: On taxation and income inequality

“Well, now you’re getting into sort of complicated issues. In general, on taxation-type things, you’d think of me as a Democrat. That is, when tax rates are below, say, 50 percent, I believe there often is room for additional taxation.”


5: On the government’s ability or inability to fix big problems like those

“You have to have a certain realism that government is a pretty­ blunt instrument and without the constant attention of highly qualified people with the right metrics, it will fall into not doing things very well.”


6: On the Healthcare.gov roll-out debacle

“They should have done better. But that’s a minor issue compared to the notion of ‘Will they get enough people in the risk pool so that the pricing is OK?’ And some of the price-rigging they’ve done, where the young overpay relative to the old, is a problem. You know, it’s all intended for a good thing, which is access. But it’s layered on top of a system that has huge pricing-capacity problems. Which it basically did not address.”


7; On talking with investor and climate-change denier Charles Koch about climate change

“He’s a very nice person, and he has this incredible business track record. He was pointing out that the U.S. alone can’t solve the problem, and that’s factually correct. But you have to view the U.S. doing something as a catalyst for getting China and others to do things. The atmosphere is the ultimate commons. We all benefit from it, and we’re all polluting it.” "

Green Patent Fast Track Opens, in Taiwan - CT/TIPO/GPB - Mar 12, 2014

- E. Lane -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/03/12/green-patent-fast-tr…

"It’s been a while since a national intellectual property office has seen fit to open a fast lane for green technology patent applications. So the recent announcement out of Taiwan is welcome news.

The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) now includes green technology as a new category of application or invention eligible for expedited examination under TIPO’s existing Accelerated Examination Program (AEP).

TIPO is defining green technologies broadly (as I have argued is important for boosting participation in these programs); the application is eligible if the invention is:

- related to energy saving, new energy or automobiles powered by new energy;

- related to energy saving and carbon reduction


One drawback of TIPO’s fast track program is its publication requirement; to qualify for the AEP a patent application must have published before the applicant makes the AEP request.

Because Taiwan is not a PCT contracting state (i.e., it does not participate in the international patent application system), non-Taiwanese applicants must file their applications in TIPO within one year of their original home country filing date. And because patent applications typically publish 18 months after their original filing date, that means non-Taiwanese applicants must wait an extra six months or so after filing their application in Taiwan to request expedited examination there.

The TIPO fee for accelerated examination of a green technology patent application is NT$4000 (about $134 USD), and the applicant need only submit a written request explaining that the invention in the subject patent application relates to green technology.

The time saved under the AEP is substantial. According to this article, it takes about 29 months to receive a first office action during ordinary examination in TIPO; under the AEP TIPO issues a first office action in about nine months.

PBOC doubles yuan trading band - CER/WSJ - Mar 17, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65404

"China’s central bank has doubled the daily trading band for the yuan starting on Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The yuan will be able to trade as much as 2% on either side of what is known as the parity rate, a daily peg for trading of the yuan against the US dollar that is set by the central bank. It was previously 1%. The easing comes as China's economy is testing a 15-year low in year-on-year growth, leading to questions of whether Beijing would continue its economic and financial overhauls or pull back to help struggling companies.

www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65407

"China will build more social housing and expand urban transport networks to get more people moving to cities, Reuters reported, citing a new urbanization plan for 2014-2020 released on Sunday.

The plan aims to increase the proportion of urban residents in China from 53.7% to 60% by 2020. China will also consider reforming the country’s “hukou” registration system, which is impeding rural migrants from obtaining residency status, and promote environmentally friendly development. The “greatest potential for expanding domestic demand” rests in urbanization, state news agency Xinhua said, as people in Chinese cities earn and spend more than their rural counterparts. "

NASA will award $35.000 to citizen asteroid hunters ; The 'Asteroid Data Hunter Challenge' begins today. It seeks improved algorithms, that will help the space agency spot more asteroids - GO/PR/NASA - Mar 17, 2014

- S. Brewster -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/17/nasa-will-award-35000-to-citize…
www.nasa.gov/press/2014/march/be-an-asteroid-hunter-in-nasas…
www.planetaryresources.com

"Do you have a penchant for coding and algorithms? How about saving the planet from horrific destruction?

If so, check out the Asteroid Data Hunter Challenge, a contest launched today by NASA and Planetary Resources that challenges citizens to develop better ways to spot asteroids.

The Asteroid Data Hunter Challenge will run tentatively through August 22. Participants will need to improve algorithms that spot asteroids in images taken by Earth-bound telescopes. The algorithms must improve detection sensitivity, minimize false positives, ignore data errors and be compatible
with any computer. Teams that succeed will have a chance at $35,000.


www.topcoder.com/asteroids/asteroiddatahunter/



“Protecting the planet from the threat of asteroid impact means first knowing where they are,” Prizes and Challenges Program executive Jenn Gustetic said in a release. “By opening up the search for asteroids, we are harnessing the potential of innovators and makers and citizen scientists everywhere to help solve this global challenge.”

NASA announced last year that it plans to track all asteroids that pass near the Earth. But at the time, it was only able to spot 95 percent that measure larger than 3,280 feet across and 1 percent of asteroids smaller than 328 feet. The agency has since been collecting ideas for how to track, deflect and capture asteroids, including turning to citizens.





Spotting more asteroids will help scientists better predict if one is on track to hit the Earth, ideally with enough time to divert or destroy it (exactly how they would accomplish this is still in the works). But it will also pinpoint asteroids that might someday be of interest to space mining companies like Planetary Resources. "

Japan Comes Back, to Nuclear - E.com/GIM - Mar 17, 2014
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/energy/japan-comes-back…

"Fukushima has been far more costly to Japan than you would think. The 2011 meltdown led Japan to shutter all of its 48 nuclear reactors, which had until then generated nearly 30 percent of the country’s electricity.

You could imagine the economic effects on the United States if 30 percent of its electricity supply went offline overnight.


Trade Deficit Soars

Since Japan has virtually no energy endowment of its own, it could not do what the U.S. might do -- for example, mine more coal. The removal of nuclear power from its energy mix has meant buying more fossil fuels.

And this has happened while the Bank of Japan is doing massive QE to stimulate the economy, creating inflation and cheapening the Yen.

That means Japan’s energy imports have spiked dramatically, and its trade balance has hit a record negative:

This is threatening to undo the positive effects of “Abenomics,” the reforms and monetary stimulus policies enacted by Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe in an effort to reverse Japan’s long decades of stagnation.

We have been believers in the macroeconomic story that after a nearly twenty four year slide, that a Japa- nese rebirth is possible, and have been watching carefully since Abe’s election to see if he would really be able to implement change. We’ve been disappointed in some respects, and for some time we’ve said we stand ready to buy Japan, but that the time wasn’t yet right.




The Basic Energy Plan

Abe recently publicized his administration’s “Basic Energy Plan,”. Like Germany, which is also facing massive energy cost increases as a result of its “energy revolution,” the Japanese are discovering that economic reality requires nuclear energy. The new “Basic Energy Plan” says explicitly that nuclear power will remain a critical baseload electricity source.

And it does not place any numbers on the future proportion of nuclear electricity supply. Notably, a recent local election in Japan saw an ally of Abe’s win the governorship of Yamaguchi prefecture. He had campaigned against two anti-nuclear activists who wanted to ensure that plans for a new reactor in the prefecture didn’t go forward. This shows that public sentiment is not as anti-nuclear as some have suggested.


Hurdles

There are still hurdles to overcome, since in order to be restarted, each plant must be approved by local authorities. But if this move can eventually undo some of the harsh effects of skyrocketing energy imports, it will give that much more fuel to real Japanese growth. "

Report "confirms nickel-platinum 'prospectivity', @Haneti play" - MW, JOHANNESBURG - Mar 17, 2014

- N. Greve -
www.miningweekly.com/article/report-confirms-nickel-platinum…

"Tanzania-focused mineral exploration and development company Kibo Mining has identified a 30 km strike of nickel-platinum prospectivity at its 100%-owned Haneti project, in the Dodoma region, following receipt of a comprehensive technical report covering full historical exploration and technical data.

The report, prepared by Mzuri Exploration Services, the company’s exploration service provider in Tanzania, confirmed high-priority nickel and platinum group metals (PGMs) targets at Mwaka and Mihanza Hill, as well as the potential of the project to host lithium pegmatite mineralisation, which would be further investigated.

It included the full data and conclusions drawn from the 2013 exploration programme and provided a detailed assessment and recommendations for steps to be taken to confirm the nature and extent of mineralisation identified.

Based on the technical report, the dual-listed miner would now focus future activities on key tenements highly prospective for target mineralisation.

Detailed aerial aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity data from a recently flown government survey in the region would, when made available later this year, supplement Kibo’s existing information database and technical understanding of the project.

CEO Louis Coetzee said in a statement that the report demonstrated the strategic importance of Haneti and its potential to deliver a considerable opportunity to the company in future, making the project one of Kibo’s key assets.

He asserted that the results from the 2013 exploration programme at Haneti, when integrated with prior historical work undertaken, demonstrated the high degree of prospectivity evident on the ground.

“Haneti provides Kibo with exposure to highly attractive nickel, gold and PGM targets, as well as potential strategic metal opportunities with lithium and niobium prospectivity,” Coetzee commented.

“The prospectivity confirmed in the report is exciting for the company and shareholders, and we intend to move forward with the key steps outlined above in a disciplined manner to unlock the potential value for shareholders.” "

"Guernsey-based Cahill Energy said Monday it has signed an historic deal with the Government of Barbados to build and operate a leading edge clean energy plant on the Caribbean Island.

The plant is expected to utilize plasma gasification technology supplied by Westinghouse Plasma Corp., a unit of AlterNRG Corp. (TSX: T.NRG, Stock Forum).

AlterNRG shares rose 5.5% to $1.14 on Monday, leaving a market cap of $126.1 million, based on 112.6 million shares outstanding. The 52-week range is $1.24 and 32.5 cents.

Cahill Energy expects to invest up to US$240 million in the proposed plant, which is set to be built in Vaucluse, St. Thomas, creating 650 skilled labour jobs, and stimulating growth across the island.

The deal is also expected to provide the Government of Barbados with several hundred million dollars in estimated savings over the lifetime of the 30-year contract.

“This investment by Cahill Energy represents a “game changer ” for Barbados and truly belies any doubt that Barbados is still a preferred destination for solid, and impactful foreign direct investment,’’ said Christopher P. Sinckler, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs for Barbados.

Cahill Energy Chief Executive Officer Clare Cowan said her company began exploring waste to energy in 2011 and Cahill’s attention was directed towards the Caribbean by 7th Heaven Properties.

“While we recognize the country faces some short term challenges due to the impact of the global economic downturn, we believe the fundamentals are strong,’’ Cowan said.

“We are therefore confident that this investment represents a phenomenal business opportunity for our investors and offers even greater benefits to the people of Barbados.’’

Cahill said the plant will provide a leading edge, environmentally sound solution to two of Barbados’s most pressing challenges: waste management and energy security.

Using plasma gasification technology, it will transform up to 650 tonnes of solid waste per day into clean, renewable energy. In doing so, it will eliminate environmental threats posed by the use of landfill. The plant is expected to provide up to 25% of Barbados’s total energy needs, Cahill said.

The use of Westinghouse Plasma’s proven, patented, waste to energy technology, (which is already in use in six commercial facilities worldwide) would significantly contribute to cutting Barbados’s dependence on landfills, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and transforming the island nation into one of the greenest economies in the entire region, Cahill added.

How d.light is growing its off-grid solar business: Design +distribution; After seven years, d.light is starting to have a sizable impact, on the lives of rural villagers in India +Africa - GO - Mar 18, 2014

"There are hundreds of different kinds of off-grid lighting and solar products being made and sold into rural villages in India and Africa where hundreds of millions of people have no access to grid electricity. But very few companies have been able to sell these products at any significant scale.




Why? As d.light CEO Donn Tice told me in a recent interview in the company’s San Francisco office, “Building distribution [to those places] is really, really hard.” The regions often lack easy-to-navigate and established transportation and shipping systems to get the goods there, payment systems to make the transactions and legal systems to ensure sales. Hiring in many remote regions is especially difficult.

Despite the hurdles, d.light, now in its seventh year, has emerged as the largest maker of the emerging and important category of off-grid home solar devices. The company has grown dramatically in recent years and has sold six million devices to date, affecting the lives of about 29 million people. That’s led to a combined almost $1 billion in energy-related savings that would have gone to dirtier, unsafe energy sources like kerosene otherwise.




D.light now has 300 employees and plans to have 500 by this time next year. To fuel that growth, the company just closed on a Series C funding round of $11 million, bringing the total capital raised to date to $40 million. Device sales have more than doubled every year, Tice says.

The startup’s customers use the company’s solar lanterns and pay-as-you-go solar panel systems for lighting, cell phone charging and running appliances like fans, TVs and fridges. The products’ cost ranges from around $10 for basic models to up to $200 for pay-as-you-go home systems.

Tice says that, in addition to building out distribution, product diversity is one of the main reasons the company has done well. D.light plans to introduce new products shortly, which will help address even more customer needs. The company’s latest product, which it launched a year and a half ago, is its pay-as-you-go home solar system, which it sells with financing from startup M-KOPA. Tice says d. light has sold more of these pay-as-you-go systems than any of its competitors.

Design is another key d.light differentiator. In recent months d.light has invested significantly in its internal design team, and Tice says the group is highly focused on creating a user experience that rivals what users in developed countries have come to expect from products.

Despite the do-gooder aims of replacing dirty and unsafe kerosene and promoting carbon emissions–free solar power, d.light is a proper booming business. Tice says its fundraising was two times oversubscribed, though he declined to say whether the company was yet profitable. "

Obamacare Enrollment Crucial, in Final Two Weeks Before Deadline - E.com - Mar 18, 2014

- Joel Anderson -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/healthcare/obamacare-en…

"With the final two weeks before the March 31 deadline fast approaching, enrollments in health care plans through healthcare.gov and the various state sites have only reached 5 million, well short of the goal of 7 million enrollees. What’s more, only 27 percent of those enrollees appear to fall into the crucial “young invincibles” demographic.




As the deadline rapidly approaches, many questions about the law and what the future holds continue to be raised. There has clearly been no shortage of controversy, so these final weeks will ultimately be important ones.

For starters, the potential for a delay in the “individual mandate” continues to be a serious question. While the administration has given no indication that this is likely to happen, the fact that Obama has previously caved on elements of the law like the “employer mandate” and some of the requirements for individual plans has left the door open for speculation that he will retreat again in the face of millions of angry, unenrolled people facing tax penalties.

What’s more, the technical issues that plagued the website immediately after its launch have to raise more questions. While they appear to have been resolved, what if a rush in volume in the final two weeks overloads the system again? If many late-comers fail to sign up in time because of technical glitches, will Obama be forced to extend the deadline? The prospect of charging a tax penalty to people whose failure to enroll stemmed from a website that failed to function properly could represent precisely the sort of red meat Republicans would love during crucial mid-term elections this November.

However, there could be reason to anticipate a late rush, and particularly a late rush of exactly the sort of enrollees that are so crucial to the law. When looking at the rate of enrollment in Massachusetts in 2007 after that state passed a similar law, enrollments ramped up sharply in the final months, and the percentage of those enrollees falling into the 18-34 demographic also jumped sharply.

All told, with 13 days remaining to sign up for insurance, much appears to remain up in the air. Much has been made of the potential “death spiral” that could result from too many high-cost enrollees, but it’s not as clear precisely what mix of ages and health statuses would create such a situation.

Regardless, the data on enrollments over the next few months will ultimately be important to watch as it will clearly impact both the potential success or failure of the program and the mid-term elections. "

"Germany's Wacker Chemie (WCH.ETR) and China's Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday announced a deal over the pricing of a European-produced polysilicon, a key component in solar panels, ending another trade battle between Brussels and Beijing, Financial Times reported.

The deal, which sets a minimum price for the polysilicon that Beijing had accused European producers of dumping on the Chinese market, comes ahead of a Brussels visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping on March 31. China has made clear that it wants an end to trade hostility with the EU, its biggest trading partner. "

Zitat von Popeye82: 'Top 10 Water Innovators' Celebrated in New Report - GreenBiz, OAKLAND - April 22, 2009

- By Matthew Wheeland -
www.greenbiz.com/news/2009/04/22/top-10-water-innovators

"OAKLAND, Calif. -- Water, it is often said, is the new carbon: the next critical piece of business operations to manage and use efficiently. But the vast majority of innovations in water technology are often overlooked by investors, the press and the public, according to Laura Shenkar, the principal at the Artemis Project.

"During this period when the challenges to water supply and water quality are just beginning to affect business, these are companies that are blazing the trail toward green recovery. They are creating what will be one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century," Shenkar said. "The Artemis Project Top 50 companies are just the tip of the iceberg for a major industry that will generate thousands of companies and green jobs."

To that end, Shenkar and a team of judges compiled a list of more than 120 companies that are pushing the envelope in terms of water treatment, purification and management. Those companies were then rated on four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team quality and market potential. The judges also applied ipCapital Group's proprietary ipDimensional Scoring algorithm, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

The winning companies span a range of different technologies. The top prize was given to Arizona-based stormwater treatment company AbTech Industries, Massachusetts-based desalination experts Oasys Water and Vermont-based Seldon Technologies, makers of a nano-tube water-filtration system.

"The goal of this competition was to show the U.S venture capital community the diversity and investment potential of an international network of advanced water technology companies," Shenkar said. "The fact that the top three winners of this competition are U.S. based companies should serve as a wakeup call to the U.S. investment community. Water will be a big industry sooner rather than later; it's flourishing in our own backyard."

In general, Shenkar said the companies that made the list are working on one or more of the following six trends in water management:

+ Acoustic Water Purification

+ Wastewater Purification

+ Software for Water Management

+ Disinfection/Iodine and Ultraviolet and Advanced Oxidation

+ Waste Mining

+ Energy Recovery


In acoustic water purification, companies are using either sounds or lasers to make a bubble in the water, which then explodes; and the heat and electricity and the shock has an impact to the molecules around it in killing off bacteria and purifying the water. This technique has been used most often in small-scale projects in wastewater and medical settings.

Wastewater purification can be used to recycle water to almost any grade -- in Singapore, Shenkar explained, companies are taking wastewater and purifying it to drinking quality. Although that's not a level the U.S. is likely to reach soon, it is a technology with significant uses.

Water-management software is currently put to use at both macro and micro levels, from Global Information Systems (GIS) satellites reading the lay of the water to ground-level implementations of water sensors to maximize water efficiency in landscaping.

On the disinfection fronts, iodine and chlorine both get bad raps, but Shenkar explains that natural iodine is quite safe to use, and companies like BioLargo are putting it to use with advanced delivery methods. Ultraviolet light is an up-and-coming solution, Shenkar said, in large part because of companies developing LED ultraviolet lights, which are much smaller and less hazardous to dispose of.

Waste mining is a form of wastewater purification, where companies can take out the elements within the wastewater and use some of remnants for beneficial purposes. An example Shenkar offered was mining the nitrogen from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones -- companies are developing ways to remove the nitrogen and reuse it.

Finally, energy recovery takes away one of the largest obstacles for widespread adoption of desalination: it currently takes an enormous amount of energy to filter and purify water, but companies are working on methods that use the non-filtered water to power turbines that run the machine, thereby recovering as much as 95 percent of the energy needed to desalinate water.

Zitat von Popeye82: Pressure BioSciences " "expected" to see profits in `15, says AMI Research" - PAI/AMIR - Jan 24, 2014

- Deborah Bacal -
www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/51503/pressure-bio…

"Pressure BioSciences (OTC:PBIO) is expected to become profitable in 2015, according to a report written this month from AMI Research, which chose the company as one of its five favourite stock names in the micro cap sector that offer the "most promise for growth in 2014".

The life sciences medical device company develops and commercializes pressure cycling technology (PCT)-based instruments and consumables. The platform technology cycles pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures to control the interactions of bio-molecules, with the technology also used for genomic, proteomic and small molecule sample preparation.

The company, according to AMI, is the only player it knows employing this patented technology, which delivers "quality, speed and reproducibility previously unavailable to the industry".

The research report lists several growth catalysts for the company this year, saying that last year's third quarter was an inflection point, when Pressure BioSciences achieved record quarterly total revenue, quarterly products and services revenue and an all-time high in quarterly consumable product sales.

The analysts said they expect the fourth quarter to be the fourth straight quarter that total revenue exceeds the prior year period, with estimated total revenue of $0.27 million.

AMI wrote the highlights for the company still remain the leveraging of "two recent breakthroughs", with the research firm referring in one instance to the announcement in June of its ability to process high throughput multi-well plate formats, which will integrate with current laboratories. This means it can focus on labs that need devices able to host multiple samples, simultaneously, whereas up until now, PCT was used for the analysis of only one sample at a time.

In addition, in another potentially significant breakthrough, the company revealed independent studies from Harvard University showing its PCT technology can offer a "non-invasive" approach to lipid analysis in the gastrointestinal track. The method uses PCT and certain chemicals to extract intact lipids from fecal material, getting information about what is happening in the GI system, which has a direct relation to a number of diseases such as colon cancer and IBD.

"Both breakthroughs are win-wins for PBIO and have the potential to transform PBIO’s operations. We expect to have a revenue-producing product before the end of 2H:14," wrote AMI.

Indeed, the research analysts predict total revenue to grow at a four-year CAGR of 37%, and expect $1.4 million, $2.4 million and $3.5 million in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively.

They also took note of the company's broad customer base, including academic laboratories, government agencies, and biotech, pharma and other life science companies in the U.S. It also has agreements with over 11 distributors worldwide, up from three in 2011. There are over 140 customers who have purchased or leased the PCT platform.

"In our opinion, the sharp increase in outreach supports management’s commercialization initiative and reinforces our estimates," AMI said.

AMI is modelling profitability for Pressure BioSciences in 2015, expecting 44% top-line growth over 2014's $2.4 million estimate, as commercialization efforts begin to shift the company out of development-stage to the beginnings of a "true global player". Specifically, the analysts anticipate operating expenses to begin to level off during the second half of 2015, resulting in profitability during the fourth quarter of next year.

The other four micro cap names in AMI's report include NeoGenomics (NASDAQ:NEO), ADvanced Medical Isotope (OTC:ADMD), Net Medical Express (OTC:NMXS) and Exactech (NASDAQ:EXAC).

"Many of our choices are undervalued relative to their peers comparing a variety of metrics such as p/e, p/s, ev/ebitda, etc. Some stock picks have returned to our list from last year, as we continue to expect strong stock appreciation," AMI wrote.

Pressure BioSciences is trading at 26 cents currently on the OTC markets.


Profile

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. is company focused on the development and commercialization of a novel, enabling, platform technology called pressure cycling technology ("PCT"). PCT uses cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (up to 35,000 psi and greater) to control bio-molecular interactions. "


Pressure BioSciences Introducing New Technology, for Its 'Pressure Cycling Platform' - Jan 16, 2014
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pressure-biosciences-introduci…

Pressure BioSciences Announces the Release +Initial Sale of the 'Barocycler HUB880, a "First-in-Kind", Ultra High Pressure Bench-top Instrument System', Newest Addition to the Company's Expanding Product Line " "Expected" to Enhance Studies in Biomarker Discovery +Rational Drug Design +Open New Markets in Food Safety, Material Science +Industrial Testing"; The Barocycler HUB880 is "an automated, computer-controlled, bench-top, ultra-high pressure instrument. It was designed to have a safe +reproducible operating range, from ~1.000 psi to ~100.000 psi(~7.000 times normal atmospheric pressure)". The Company " "believes " that these features will make the Barocycler HUB880 an 'instrument of choice', for a broad range of studies that can utilize the special effects of ultra-high pressure on biological +other samples. The Company " "believes" that there are ~500.000 scientists worldwide working with biological samples, such as animal, plant, microbial +human cells. These cells, +the biomolecules that constitute them(e.g., proteins, lipids, DNA) have historically been controlled(e.g., modified, inactivated, manipulated), using temperature +chemicals. However, studies have shown that cells/biomolecules also respond to specific levels of pressure in unique +reproducible ways. Thus, with its ability to reach ultra-high pressure levels significantly beyond any 'automated bench-top pressure instrument' commercially available today, the Company "believes" that the 'Barocycler HUB880' can "potentially" offer scientists the unique ability to control certain cells +biomolecules in ways never before achievable"; Dr. Wayne L. Hubbell: "The "unique capabilities of the Barocycler HUB880 will allow us to explore ‘invisible’ states of proteins –that is, protein states not detectable @normal atmospheric pressure but only @ultra-high pressure. We are excited by this possibility, since these invisible states are 'very likely' important to protein structure +function, +"may" reveal new targets for future drug design"."; Dr. Nathan P. Lawrence: "Our existing high pressure instruments, with upper pressure limits ranging from 35.000 to 58.000 psi, satisfy 'very important needs', in today’s demanding research environment. As such, we believe the sales increases observed in `13 with our HUB440, NEP2320, NEP3229 +Constant Systems instruments +consumables will continue into `14, +will be augmented with sales from the new additions to our product line. We "also believe that the enhancements built into the new Barocycler HUB880 instrument system – most especially the increased upper pressure limit of 100.000 psi – will allow researchers to extend their high pressure studies, well beyond where they are today. This will allow them, for the very first time, to safely investigate the benefits of 'ultra-high pressure'(60.000 psi +above) in a number of new, yet to be tried , biological, chemical, material +industrial sciences applications. We are particularly excited that the HUB880 can reach pressures sufficient to kill most pathogenic +food-borne bacteria. We believe this capability may allow the HUB880 to play an important role in additional vaccine, diagnostic, therapeutic +food safety research, which we believe will result in a continued increase in the number of high pressure instrument systems +consumables sold in `14, +beyond"." - Mar 19, 2014

" 'Promising Biotechs' Target New Ways, to Kill Bad Bugs: Venture Capitalist Dennis Purcell" - E.com/LSR - Mar 19, 2014
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/healthcare/promising-bi…

"Dennis Purcell, senior managing partner of Aisling Capital, has seen the biotechnology industry morph from exciting science project to a full-blown, multibillion-dollar industry producing blockbuster products that routinely save lives. Now a new crisis is looming, as drug-resistant bacteria evolve, proliferate and wreak havoc. With this dire need driving interest, Purcell believes a change of focus, from oncology and orphan drug indications to anti-infectives, will develop in 2014 and beyond. In this interview with The Life Sciences Report, Purcell shares ideas that could offer a definitive cure for your portfolio.


The Life Sciences Report: As a venture capitalist, your investments are the feedstock of the initial public offering (IPO) markets, and you must constantly think about getting your private equity holdings ready to go public or be acquired. How has this process changed over the past two years?

Dennis Purcell: Things have changed substantially. On the regulatory front, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act has been a big driver in terms of making it easier for companies to go public because they can file anonymously with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Everything worked well last year in the sense that companies attempting to go public were better funded because they were able to test the waters ahead of time.

For the better part of a decade the science was doing well, but Wall Street hadn't caught on yet. Prior to that, there had been a lot of disappointments, and selloffs on approvals. Then Wall Street started to catch on to what was happening in biotech. Now we've seen some really good product launches, and that is feeding into a robust market. We've also added the generalist investor to the sector. The generalists got into some IPOs and did quite well.

Those things coming into play at once—on the regulatory front, with the JOBS Act and the SEC, as well as the underlying fundamentals—made for a very good year. IPOs were up an average of almost 50%.


TLSR: Let me ask you about the generalist investors. Biotech has enjoyed very sophisticated sponsorship over the past five years, even when the stocks weren't doing so well. These new investors might not understand the science and the technology platforms. Does it worry you to see these "last-in" investors get involved?

DP: Certainly. The generalist investor has a very hard time understanding the industry because of the complexity of the science, which only gets more complex as time moves on. The challenge is that we've seen significant highs and lows over the last 15 years in biotech. If we can smooth out those curves and continue to show scientific progress, we'll keep the generalists interested in the sector.

Historically, generalists have been somewhat fickle: Once the performance isn't there anymore, they move on to chase returns in other sectors. Now that they have had such a good run with biotech over the last year or two, and are seeing startups mature from science projects to real companies with products on the market, generalist investors don't have to understand the scientific underpinnings. They can simply look at how the drug is doing in the marketplace and what it's doing for patients.

Yes, I worry about generalist investors, but if we can flatten those extreme highs and the lows to keep generalists in the market, we should see a sustained period of success in the industry.


TLSR: Capital has to go someplace, and people do look for higher returns. When biotech companies mature, with products on the market, investors seek better returns than they get by waiting for earnings every quarter. The money will necessarily filter down to companies with preclinical products, and with phase 1 molecules and 10 patients in the clinic. Could that lead to companies using this free flow of capital inefficiently?

DP: That's a key question in terms of flattening out the highs and the lows. To address that issue, I consider what I call the three Os. The first one is output. We have to prove to investors that our output is going to be better than it has been in the past. That means getting a quick answer and killing off bad projects earlier, without wasting $50 million ($50M). Upward of $500 billion ($500B) has been spent on cancer drugs that didn't go anywhere. Now that we have a lot of companies that have $50M, $100M or $200M cash in the bank, we have to be much more judicious about how we spend it.

The second O is about outcomes. We need to share data better than we have in the past. Almost half of all clinical trials never get reported. Some of the money waste not only has to do with waiting too long to kill a project, but also with making the same mistake that somebody else made in the past. We need better cooperation on sharing data about outcomes.

The third O is originality. As you trickle down into some of these companies with 10 patients in a clinical trial, we need to see more originality in business models. For instance, companies in the past year have actually secured predetermined purchase prices from big pharma companies if they hit certain milestones. They are being original.


TLSR: The specialist biotech investor has been in the market forever, and now we've seen the generalist come in to catch the wave. What about the retail investor? Are biotech IPOs suitable for retail investors?

DP: I think they are suitable for the retail investor. These investors have to take a look at the people who started the company, the company's advisors and the people on the board. As a small retail investor, you can take comfort that somebody else has done work on a company. It's a risky business for sure, but by the time a company is ready for an IPO, so much diligence has been done that, as a small investor, you know something about the people involved. I'll contrast that with a company funded by angel investors, who may not be the most sophisticated in terms of biotechnology. That's different than a company funded by a well-known venture capital firm with a couple of Nobel laureates on its board.

The final filter is the underwriters. Are they quality underwriters? Have they taken good companies public in the past? If these pieces are in place, even a small investor who may not understand the science totally can take some comfort in that experts have been involved.


TLSR: I have one more question from the retail investor's point of view. Institutional investors get the first shares coming off the shelf; these are people you and your fellow syndicate members know, and the people that fuel your IPOs. Is there a way for the retail investor to get into the IPO, or must he or she jump in at the open?

DP: Generally, 20–30% of any deal is allocated to retail. Obviously, some deals are hotter than others. For an unsophisticated or small investor, it might be better to play it in a diversified way through a well-known mutual fund, like a Fidelity fund or T. Rowe Price. Mutual funds are the biggest clients of the investment banks.

The question is how much of the hot deals a small retail investor gets. Most firms have a target in terms of how much stock they want to go to retail, institutional and international investors. They have an idea about the right mix. By and large, there's always something left for retail. It may not be everything that the retail investor wanted, but he or she can get exposure.


TLSR: When a corporate venture capitalist—say from Amgen Inc. ($AMGN), Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. ($TKPYY) or Genentech/Roche Holding AG ($RHHBY)—takes an interest in one or more of the companies in your portfolios, does that give you some sense of validation?

DP: It's not so much the corporate venture capitalist that gives us comfort. It's the corporate business development people who lend us another set of eyes. We spend a lot of time with the big pharma companies talking about their interests, what they are looking for. If someone in business development in cancer at, for instance, Merck & Co. Inc. ($MRK), is interested in our oncology company, that obviously gives us some idea that we're on the right track.

Then it becomes our job to finance those companies for three or four years, get them mature, and then, hopefully, have them acquired by big pharma. There are two ways we can recognize returns: The first is through the IPO market, and the second is through acquisition.


TLSR: I believe you have a theme this year in that you believe bacterial infectious disease indications are going to be a hot market. Is that correct?

DP: Last year was the year of cancer and orphan drugs. We were pretty involved with those. But if you look at the rising resistance of infections to antibiotics, we are running out of treatments in the arsenal. So yes, the infectious disease market will be a theme over the next year or two. A number of companies coming down the pike will bring new products to market that are superior to the ones we're using and, hopefully, will overcome this resistance problem.


TLSR: The Generating Antibiotics Incentives Now (GAIN) Act has been signed into law, and there are a few physicians in the U.S. Congress right now who seem to be interested in antibiotic resistance. Do you believe Congress is paying enough attention to this problem, particularly with regard to the possibility of a resistant-bug pandemic in the future?

DP: I think the government is paying more attention to it than Wall Street is. The GAIN Act, over time, is going to be very important for the development of new anti-infectives. The question is, how difficult will the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) be in terms of approving new anti-infectives? Wall Street has not seen the potential coming out of new anti-infective agents so far, but I think Congress and the FDA see the need. We read about a difficult infection every day in the papers now.


TLSR: From Wall Street's perspective, infectious disease is typically a short-term problem, and antibiotics are short-term therapies. In fact, the better the antibiotic, the shorter duration of treatment. Isn't that a valid problem for the investor?

DP: Yes and no. Certainly, bacterial infections are not chronic lifelong issues like some viral infections, such as HIV or even hepatitis C. There are numerous anti-infectives on the market that bring in well over $1B in sales. You're right on one hand, but on the other, the prevalence of bacterial infections is so large it offsets the issue of shorter-term therapy.


TLSR: Let's go ahead and talk about some companies.

DP: On March 31 there's an advisory committee meeting for a company we have been involved with called Durata Therapeutics Inc. ($DRTX). A new drug application (NDA) has been filed for its product Dalvance (dalbavancin) for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Its Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date is May 26, 2014. Durata is a beneficiary of the GAIN Act, and Dalvance is treating gram-positive infections like Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s ($CBST) Cubicin (daptomycin). We now have an endpoint with Dalvance that's different in that regulators will be looking to see what the bacteria look like after 48 hours, rather than what they look like after 7 or 14 days. We shall see how the regulators like Dalvance shortly.

We are not investors in Cubist, but it has an NDA filed for tedizolid phosphate (TR-701), which was acquired with its acquisition of Trius Therapeutics last year. The PDUFA date for tedizolid is June 20, 2014. At the end of February Cubist said that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) had accepted tedizolid for review for complicated skin and soft tissue infections. We should hear back from the EMA on that during H2/15.


TLSR: What about another antibiotic developer?

DP: Cempra Inc. ($CEMP) is another publicly traded company, and it is in a couple of phase 3 trials with its lead compound solithromycin (CEM-101). One indication is for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia. Solithromycin is in a class of drugs called macrolides, which would replace something like a Zithromax (azithromycin; Pfizer Inc. [$PFE]) or a Biaxin (clarithromycin; Abbott Laboratories [$ABT]). Cempra refers to it as a next-generation macrolide/fluoroketolide, and it does have the potential for a broad range of infections. We're going to see the first readouts of its phase 3 SOLITAIRE-ORAL study in Q1/15. The company is also ready to start a phase 3 trial in urethritis.

Based on what happens with Durata and Cempra in the not-too-distant future, we'll see exactly how regulators are going to treat new and novel mechanism antibiotics. The need is great.


TLSR: Dennis, you also have an interest in a newly public company called Esperion Therapeutics ($ESPR). It has a proposed product to treat hypercholesterolemia. Could you address that?

DP: Yes. Both Durata and Esperion have drugs spun out of Pfizer, and both of these companies are in our portfolio. Esperion has a small molecule, orally bioavailable, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-lowering drug, ETC-1002, which is in two phase 2 trials slated for completion by the end of this year; we will get results in H2/14.

We're particularly drawn to this company because the scientific leader is Roger Newton, who was the codiscoverer of Lipitor (atorvastatin). He sold Esperion to Pfizer a few years ago, and we at Aisling Capital, and other venture capitalists, have recently reacquired it. The product is intended for statin-intolerant patients, of which there are many, and we have high hopes for these trials.


TLSR: When you say the drug is intended for statin-intolerant patients, are you talking about hepatotoxicity, muscle pain, that kind of thing?

DP: Exactly. Mostly muscle pain.

TLSR: So nice meeting you, Dennis.

DP: Thank you. Nice talking to you.

"Hefty prospects, for heavy-haul rail developers in Africa" - MW/PwC - Mar 19, 2014

- N. Greve -
www.miningweekly.com/article/hefty-prospects-for-heavy-haul-…

" Professional services firm PwC associate director Andrew Shaw has described extensive opportunities for the development of heavy-haul rail networks across Africa, citing the continent’s largely commodity-led growth as the primary driver of the need for improved rail capability and pit-to-port freight solutions.

While acknowledging that commodity demand had softened since pre-2008 levels, Shaw asserted that the market remained suitably robust to justify and support large-scale rail infrastructure in several African States, which had long struggled to “unlock” their geographically isolated mineral resources.

“There are lots of opportunities for [the construction of] heavy-haul rail lines in Africa, where countries continue to tell the story of commodity-led growth. There is also a growing realisation that if rail infrastructure is in place, mining investment will be significantly higher. [A lack of] infrastructure is a retarder of economic growth, “ he commented at the Heavy Haul Rail Africa conference, in Johannesburg, on Wednesday.

The continent had also previously seen the failure of several rail concessions owing to the high volumes of capital investment required for the construction of large-scale heavy-haul rail networks and the accompanying high-risk nature of investment in Africa.

Shaw identified the ten countries with the most growth potential for heavy-haul rail on the continent as Algeria, Egypt, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Angola, Mozambique and South Africa.

“Each of these sovereigns have a high gross domestic product, strong growth expectations, are rich in natural resources, are a natural exit to landlocked adjoining countries and have high transit traffic volumes. They are also potential
gateways to their respective regions,” he held.

Expanding on Mozambique’s rail infrastructure potential, Shaw said, in terms of trade and logistics, the country represented a “natural” entry point for its landlocked neighbours to the west, but was frequently bypassed owing to the lack of transport networks.

He cited Mozambique as an example of a country whose growth had stalled as a result of inadequate rail infrastructure, despite it boasting “massive” coal reserves, which “couldn’t get out”.

An estimated $20-billion to $25-billion in infrastructure was required to unlock these reserves, Shaw said.

In noting the country’s “significant” need to upgrade and improve the rail network and connected ports to “open up” its coal-rich Tete province, in the north, he emphasised that transport infrastructure investment of some $17-million had been committed to connect mining and agricultural clusters to export ports.

New magnetic material " "could" boost electronics", A "highly sensitive magnetic material that "could" transform computer hard drives +energy storage devices has been discovered" - BBCN/APS/UoC, DENVER - Mar 3, 2014

www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26435809
www.aps.org/meetings/march/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7035247.stm

"A highly sensitive magnetic material that could transform computer hard drives and energy storage devices has been discovered.

The metal bilayer needs only a small shift in temperature to dramatically alter its magnetism - a tremendously useful property in electronic engineering.

"No other material known to man can do this. It's a huge effect. And we can engineer it," said Ivan Schuller, of the University of California, San Diego.



- Computer hard drives are just one possible application of the new material -


He presented his findings at the American Physical Society meeting in Denver.

The material combines thin layers of nickel and vanadium oxide, creating a structure that is surprisingly responsive to heat.

"We can control the magnetism in just a narrow range of temperature - without applying a magnetic field. And in principle we could also control it with voltage or current," said Prof Schuller.

"At low temperatures, the oxide is an insulator. At high temperatures it's a metal. And in between it becomes this strange material," he said.

Although it's too early to say exactly how it will be used, Prof Schuller sees an obvious opportunity in computing memory systems.

"A problem with magnetic memory is reversibility - you want it to be reversible but also stable.

"Today's best systems are heat-assisted, but they use lasers, which involves a lot of heat. But with this new material, you barely need to heat it by 20 degrees (Kelvin) to get a five-fold change in coercivity (magnetic resistance)," he told the conference.

Another potential use is in electricity networks. Prof Schuller envisions a new type of transformer which can cope with sudden surges in current - such as during a lightning strike or a power surge.

But he points out that new phenomena such as this often lead to entirely unexpected technologies.

He gave the example of giant magnetoresistance - a discovery that radically miniaturised hard drives in digital devices, and won the 2007 Nobel prize.

"Without it, that computer you're writing on would not work," he told the meeting.

"So if you want to find the next transformative technology, this is the type of research you do. We don't know what the best application is yet," he said.

"I'm not saying it's going to solve world's energy crisis but it's certainly going to help us." "

New US fuel standards aim to cut asthma, heart attacks - MW/R/CMR, WASHINGTON - Mar 3, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-us-fuel-standards-aim-to-cu…

"The Obama administration on Monday announced new fuel and automobile rules to cut soot, smog and toxic emissions, which it says will reduce asthma and heart attacks in the US.

The so-called Tier 3 rules unveiled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been under development since President Barack Obama issued a memorandum instructing the agency to develop them in 2010.

The rules, the third tier in a series of standards, will cut gasoline sulphur levels by more than 60% and should also reduce tailpipe and evaporative emissions from cars, light and medium-duty trucks and some heavy-duty vehicles.

Health advocates praised the move, while a petroleum refiners' group called the compliance schedule "unrealistic" and warned of potential supply disruptions.

The rules will be phased in under schedules that vary by vehicle class, generally starting between model years 2017 and 2025, the EPA said.

Once fully in place, the standards will help avoid up to 2 000 premature deaths per year and 50 000 cases of respiratory ailments in children while adding only an average of $0.01 per gallon to the cost of gasoline, the agency estimated.

Total health benefits in 2030 will be between $6.7-billion and $19-billion annually, the EPA said.

The standards are an attempt to cut the sulphur content of gasoline to 10 ppm from 30 ppm currently. This would boost efficiency for new emission control technologies that automakers will use to help achieve the administration's wider clean car standards, the agency said.

Every gasoline-powered vehicle on the road built prior to the Tier 3 standards will run cleaner, cutting smog-forming nitrous oxide emissions by 260 000 t in 2018.

"By reducing these pollutants and making our air healthier, we will bring relief to those suffering from asthma, other lung diseases and cardiovascular disease, and to the nation as a whole," said Dr Albert Rizzo, former chairperson of the American Lung Association.

Industry groups complained that the new standards were not based on a timetable that is achievable by refiners.

Charles Drevna, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, said his group had discussed its concerns about the implementation schedule numerous times with the EPA.

"EPA chose to ignore our concerns by setting an unrealistic compliance date of January 1, 2017," he said, adding that the schedule could cause supply disruptions.

The EPA said it had considered the feedback of stakeholders, including refiners and automakers. It said the sulphur rules include a programme to help refiners and importers meet the new standard, and gives smaller refiners more time to comply.


QUESTIONS ABOUT COST

The EPA and the American Petroleum Institute (API), a lobbying group for the US energy industry, sparred over the potential health benefits and costs of the rules.

The EPA estimated that the final standards would provide up to $13 in health benefits for every dollar spent to meet the standards and raise gasoline prices by just 0.065 cents per gallon.

The standards will have an average cost of about $72 per vehicle in 2025, the agency said.

But the API said the new rules would result in negligible health benefits and undue costs.

"This rule's biggest impact is to increase the cost of delivering energy to Americans, making it a threat to consumers, jobs and the economy," said Bob Greco, director of the API'S Downstream Group. The organisation estimates the rules would increase gasoline prices by $0.06 to $0.09 a gallon.

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told reporters on a conference call that the benefits far outweighed the costs.

"The estimate that API and others are relying on is an outdated estimate of what they thought we would be proposing," she said.

Nor did they account for the compliance flexibilities the EPA added to the rule before the final release, she added.

"People will see immediate benefits in 2017," she said, and the estimated cost of under a penny per gallon of gasoline would not take effect until 2025, when the rule is fully in place.

Frank O'Donnell, president of nonprofit group Clean Air Watch, said Monday's rule was "the most significant move to protect public health that the EPA will make this year" and that the oil industry's fears about costs were often overblown.

"Let's remember the oil industry has cried wolf so many times," O'Donnell said, "and it's doing it again here." "

"Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered a way to turn a nickel-rich nanoparticle into a platinum-rich "nanoframe," a paper published in the journal Science Express shows.

The team was able to convert platinum-nickel polyhedral into frames with richer platinum content. The finding may not only shape the development of fuel cells and other electrochemical technologies, but also opens the door for further attempts to turning base metals into precious ones.

Platinum is a highly active catalytic agent, making it desirable for scientists looking for new materials to use in fuel cells and metal-air batteries, among other technologies.

The new catalysts, hollow polyhedral nanoframes of platinum and nickel, feature a three-dimensional catalytic surface activity that makes them significantly more efficient and far less expensive than the best platinum catalysts used in today's fuel cells and alkaline electrolyzers.

The methods developed by the group present the prospect of widespread application. If these new nanoframe catalysts can be successfully commercialized, they may make their way into engineering handbooks.

Paul Maritz says the internet of things has convinced even giants like GE they need to radically shift direction; Pivotal’s CEO is seeing large companies bypass their legacy infrastructure +create new systems, thanks to pressure from the internet of things[+Video] - GO - Mar 20, 2014

- Mathew Ingram -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/19/paul-maritz-says-the-internet-o…

"Pivotal CEO Paul Maritz says the potential opportunities — and competitive pressures — that are being created by industry shifts like the internet of things are forcing even large industrial giants such as General Electric (one of the financial backers behind Pivotal) to change the way they think about IT and their data infrastructure.

The former head of computing at EMC and former CEO of VMWare told Gigaom’s Structure Data conference in New York that for the first time, he is seeing large companies bypass their legacy infrastructure and create new systems using technologies like Hadoop.

“I am seeing some major enterprises come to some fairly radical conclusions,” Maritz told Om Malik during a one-on-one interview. “We’re starting to see some players who have a clear enough line of sight to a new opportunity or a new competitive threat that they are willing to build fresh and to leave their existing IT behind.”

This is stretching across industry groups from agriculture to aerospace to medicine, Maritz said. The opportunity isn’t just about extracting data and then trying to derive insights from it by analyzing that data, according to the Pivotal CEO — it’s about doing all of that in real-time, so that you can either help a customer with a problem or give them something useful.

“It’s about catching customers in the act,” said Maritz, “and being able to provide highly relevant and highly contextual information.”

To take just one example, the Pivotal CEO said that large telecom companies have gotten used to just being providers of data pipes or bandwidth, but as the industry becomes more competitive they are having to understand the behavior and needs of their individual users at a much more micro level — which very few are actually prepared for.

“They treat everyone the same, but they need to know how to differentiate in real time,” said Maritz. “They have to take the offline profile data they’ve built up and intersect it with high-speed real-time data coming off their backbones. That is now going to become a matter of life and death for those industries, but there is nothing within their existing IT systems that can do that.” "

Expect Labs, SwiftKey founders describe a world of persistent search ; Anticipatory search is already here, but now apps are evolving into anticipatory analysis engines as well, using data from our actions to serve up information, before we ask for it[+Video] - GO - Mar 20, 2014

- K. Fitchard -
http://gigaom.com/2014/03/20/expect-labs-swiftkey-founders-d…

"The main difference between modern search engines and the search of previous decades is that there is no temporal delay, says Expect Labs CEO and founder Tim Tuttle. You no longer have to hit a button to get your results. Google is anticipating your query as you type it and constantly tweaking your results as your intent becomes clearer.

“Everything needs to be continuous and everything needs to be real time,” Tuttle said, speaking on a panel at Gigaom’s Structure Data conference Thursday. “What that means is there is no batch processing of data. You should expect your users will be sending you a continuous streams of context signals. … That should propagate through your content analysis and your rankings and your machine learning algorithms in real time so you can always deliver incrementally better recommendations and incrementally better results.”

Both Tuttle and his panel mate, SwiftKey co-founder and CTO Ben Medlock are on the forefront of building this kind of persistent search and analysis architecture in the field of natural language processing. SwiftKey not only scrapes every phrase uttered on the public internet to build its language models, Medlock said, but it also analyzes the phrasing and language usage of the individual users of its predictive keyboard. In a constant exchange between those too data models, SwiftKey is able to determine not only the word you started to type out, but also predict the next word in your sentence.

ExpectLabs has built an app called MindMeld that essentially listens to your conversations, proffering up relevant data on your tablet’s screen based on its analysis of your discussion. MindMeld started out tapping a single information source, Wikipedia, but it’s expanding into other sources and will ultimately allow its anticipatory search technology to access any site or database, Tuttle said.

The biggest obstacle holding back this concept of persistent search is latency, Tuttle and Medlock explained. While the processing of data may be near instantaneous, that data’s round-trip between your device and the cloud is not. SwiftKey, for instance, overcomes that issue today by doing much of its predictive analysis on the phone, Medlock said. But ultimately this kind of data analysis requires accessing the cloud where the vast reams of data are stored and the algorithms that form the linkages between them reside.

That will change though, Tuttle predicts. By the end of the decade, we could be packing around phones capable of storing a terabyte of data, which is enough capacity to hold Google’s entire knowledge graph, Tuttle said. Our phones will have the ability to search a large fraction of human knowledge in a millisecond, Tuttle said. "

Forgetting Is An Actively Controlled Process In The Brain, A study of genetically-modified roundworms has turned up a protein that is involved in eroding memory - PopSci/C - Mar 3, 2014

"When it comes to maintaining sanity, forgetting is at least as important as remembering. Without it, the constant stream of stimuli--faces on the street, words read, items glanced at--would quickly overwhelm the mind. But the neural basis underlying the act of forgetting isn't well understood. A new study found that in roundworms, a protein called musashi is actively involved in forgetting. Just in time for the 10th anniversary of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.



- Neurons Patrick Hoesly on Flickr -


In the study, published in the journal Cell, scientists found that roundworms that were genetically modified to lack the musashi protein did much better on a smell-based learning task, actively retaining memories 24 hours later that unmodified mice did not. This is one of the first studies to show that forgetting can be an active (as opposed to passive) process, the authors wrote.

Further analysis found that the protein impedes the production of molecules that stabilize synapses, which are connections between neurons involved in forming and holding onto memories. The study also showed that another protein called adducin stimulates the growth of synapses, helping to retain memory. The balance between these competing processes determines which memories are held onto. "An imbalance in these of these mechanisms may result in altered memory function that could play a role in memory-related disorders" in humans, the study concluded. While it's too early to make the leap to humans, these proteins could be important targets for research into pharmaceuticals to treat Alzheimer's disease and the like. "

" 'Huge' Physics Finding Supports Big Bang Theory", 1st evidence of gravitational waves sheds light , on the creation of the universe - PopSci/SA/NYT - Mar 17, 2014

"Scientists announced today (March 17) that they had found the first direct evidence of the dramatic expansion that created the known universe, known as cosmic inflation, or the "bang" in the Big Bang. This dramatic expansion is thought to have occurred in the first instants of existence, nearly 14 billion years ago, causing the universe to expand beyond the reach of the most powerful telescopes.



- Space-time curvature An artist's conception of the way the mass of Earth warps space-time. Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in this fabric of space-time. Johnstone via Wikimedia Commons -


In 1979, a physicist named Alan Guth came up with the theory of cosmic inflation, and theorized that such an event would create ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. But their existence remained hypothetical. Today, a team of researchers said that they had detected these gravitational waves, using a telescope near the South Pole.

"This is huge," Marc Kamionkowski, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University who was not involved in the discovery but who predicted how these gravitational wave imprints could be found, told Scientific American. “It’s not every day that you wake up and find out something completely new about the early universe." He added that the results looked good, although they would need to be verified by others to hold up.

The finding seems to support the idea that the observable universe is only one of many , as the New York Times reports:


"Confirming inflation would mean that the universe we see... is only an infinitesimal patch in a larger cosmos whose extent, architecture and fate are unknowable. Moreover, beyond our own universe there might be an endless number of other universes bubbling into frothy eternity, like a pot of pasta water boiling over ."


As the Times tells it, Andrei Linde, who first described the most popular variant of inflation, known as chaotic inflation, in 1983, was about to go on vacation in the Caribbean last week when a colleague named Chao-Lin Kuo knocked on his door with a bottle of Champagne to tell him the news.

Confused, Dr. Linde called out to his wife, asking if she had ordered Champagne.


"And then I told him that in the beginning we thought that this was a delivery but we did not think that we ordered anything, but I simply forgot that actually I did order it, 30 years ago," Dr. Linde wrote in an email.


Hear Linde and Kuo tell the story themselves in this video:

Multicommodity projects "rolling out on Bushveld’s rich northern limb"[+Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Mar 20, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/multi-commodity-projects-rollin…

"Multicommodity-focused projects embracing iron-ore, vanadium, titanium and phosphate are rolling out on the rich northern limb of South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, a huge mineral repository best known for its world-leading platinum and chrome endowment.

Currently some of the Bushveld’s least-mined metals and minerals are beginning to come to the fore as experienced South African geologists prove up the area as a new iron-ore province with strong titanium and vanadium by-products.

The Council for Geoscience estimates that the Bushveld hosts between 25-billion tons and 27-billion tons of iron-ore and the metallurgical impediments that have stood in the way of easy exploitation have been steadily removed.

In addition, the Bushveld granites contain tin, as well as fluoride, uranium, base metals and rare earths.

“All of a sudden, if you look at the area, it’s probably the richest piece of real estate on the planet ,” Bushveld Minerals technical director, Professor Richard Viljoen, formerly of the University of the Witwatersrand, tells Mining Weekly Online in a video interview (see attached).

The London Aim-listed Bushveld Minerals itself has what its CEO Fortune Mojapelo describes as “very systematic” multicommodity project implementation, which takes full advantage of all of the credits of every available commodity.

There is thus another Merensky reef story unfolding outside of the traditional platinum and chromium paradigm.

“Getting this right has huge implications for the Bushveld Complex, which to date has not really been exploited from an iron-ore, vanadium and titanium perspective,” Mojapelo points out.

Bushveld Minerals’ first drill hole intersected a very thick titanium-magnetite layer, from which the company has developed a 718-million-ton multi-commodity resource.

The company now has four key platforms made up of iron-ore, vanadium, tin, and with the acquisition late last year of ASX-listed Lemur Resources, a large coal deposit in Madagascar, as well as a relatively high junior-miner cash balance of $16-million.

Bushveld Minerals’ parallel iron-ore and vanadium deposits are 1.5 km apart, which positions them well for the sharing of infrastructure, including initial processing infrastructure.

Critical to the company’s iron-ore success is being able to extract the vanadium, titanium and even the phosphate credits through the vertical integration of mining and processing and the implementation of value-adding production, which fits hand-and-glove the South African government’s beneficiation policy.

The project is not only close to rail infrastructure, but also to large beneficiation-supporting coal deposits.

The iron-ore project, which has an opencastable resource along a strike of 6 km, has the potential to be fast-tracked.


OLD ZAAIPLAATS TIN

In the vicinity of the old Zaaiplaats tin operation – which is 10 km west of the Bushveld Minerals’ iron-ore, titanium and vanadium project – a thick, low-grade opencastable tin deposit is being delineated.

Director and former Wits Professor, Morris Viljoen, and his technical team, are studying the tin mineralisation of the upper part of the granites that overlie the iron-ore layer.

The Zaaiplaats and Groenfontein areas have been drilled out and the company is looking forward to relatively easy outcrop mining.

Currently, the company has a proven resource of 18 500 t, which it wants to increase and take to production.

“It’s not a very capital expenditure-heavy operation and it’s not infrastructure constrained,” says Mojapelo, who would like to see it generating cash in the near term.

No tin is produced in South Africa and the company is keen to restart it and create a potentially listable tin platform.


LEMUR RESOURCES

Lemur Resources, which Bushveld Minerals acquired late last year, is drilling out a 136-million-ton thermal coal resource in southern Madagascar, where it is working with the government to set up a power project.

With many up-and-coming Madagascan mineral projects also concentrated in the south, Lemur CEO Anthony Viljoen sees strong offtake for its coal and also hopes to realise an export component, which would take advantage of Madagascar being a few days shorter sailing distance to the Indian market than Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

In addition, Lemur is looking in Southern Africa for either early-stage greenfield coal acquisitions or large-project acquisitions as part of a consortium.

Meanwhile, Bushveld Minerals is continuing to immerse itself in the discovery of early-stage projects under the guiding philosophy of only developing prospects that are low on the cost curve, have scale potential and which can become platforms for strategic partnerships with operational companies.

"China has raised the shareholding limit for foreign investors from 20% to 30%, indicating further liberalization of China’s financial markets is on the cards, Reuters reported.

Analysts suggest regulators are hoping to attract foreign investment at a time when the Chinese stock market is weak. But lackluster growth of China’s economy and corporate governance issues means the move is unlikely to excite flagging interest from foreign investors. The move comes ahead as the central bank tries to turn Shanghai into a global financial center by pushing capital market reforms through. "

With more users consuming ever more data on messaging services such as WeChat, the mobile carrier is investing US$12 billion on expanding its high-speed 4G service. The company is attempting to overturn its waning fortunes after revenues fell from reduced SMS usage, which was the formerly lucrative source of revenue for mobile carriers.

Amid technical +financial concerns, SA moves ahead with biofuels strategy - EN - Mar 21, 2014

- Schalk Burger, Martin Zhuwakinyu -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/amid-technical-and-financi…

"While the food-versus-fuel dilemma remains, South Africa is moving ahead with the roll-out of its much debated biofuels strategy, which even received a mention in President Jacob Zuma’s February State of the Nation address, when he confirmed that biofuels manufacturers had been selected and had started work.

Research indicates that renewable fuels could constitute 2% of existing fuel volumes, while only taking up 1.4% of arable land in South Africa, thereby not jeopardising food security. Nevertheless, not all the technical considerations have been settled, while a number of economic and financial loose ends also linger.

Government’s draft mandatory blending regulations seek to balance the impact of increased fuel costs that the introduction of biofuels will entail with the potential fuel security, job creation and environmental benefits.

A producer’s incentive of R1.21/ℓ for bioethanol and R0.53/ℓ for biodiesel is envisaged, which will be financed through a fuel price increase of between 4.5c/ℓ and 6.5c/ℓ.

Four bioethanol and four biodiesel manufacturer licences have been issued by the Department of Energy and the manufacturers will produce biofuels for mandatory blending with petroleum fuels by October 2015.

One of the goals the Biofuels Industrial Strategy hopes to achieve is to create 25 000 jobs, mainly in rural agriculture. For instance, 14% of arable land in the former homelands is said to be underutilised, opening a space for job creation in farming to produce fuel stock.

Currently, three crops are permitted for producing bioethanol, namely sorghum, sugar cane and sugar beet, and three for producing biodiesel, namely canola, sunflower and soya beans. The biofuels pricing framework reference crops will be grain sorghum for bioethanol production and soya beans for biodiesel production.

Maize, a common bioethanol feedstock throughout the world, is excluded in the latest draft paper on biofuels owing to its importance to local food security, as including it would impact on existing prices, markets and industries, while other potential feedstocks, like jatropha, which produces oil-rich seeds, are excluded on the basis of biodiversity and environmental concerns and to protect existing industries like forestry.


TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

While most of the broader policy matters are settled, many of the economic and engineering questions remain to be answered , such as how the goal of attaining a minimum 5% biodiesel by volume blending and 2% bioethanol blending will be achieved.

Since the introduction of the Biofuels Industrial Strategy, approved by Cabinet in 2007, no single large biofuels company emerged during the five years from 2008 to 2013, owing to the fact that biofuels projects are not financially attractive at prevailing feedstock, crude oil and liquid fuel prices.

The South African Petroleum Industry Association (Sapia) is supportive of government’s drive to establish a biofuels industry in the country, but has raised a number of technical questions, some of which have been addressed in the latest draft paper on biofuels. It provides expert input to the committee on topics like blending equipment, financial implications, costing regimes and fuel distribution and handling, besides others.

Issues such as blending at depots or blending at refineries will be finalised prior to the start of blending in 2015, taking into account transport costs and effects on multiproduct pipelines for refinery blending, while quality control and security of supply are critical questions.

Bioethanol is soluble in water and petrol containing more than 2% bioethanol per volume will require an infrastructure upgrade to enable a dry distribution system, including tanks and pipelines, and may not be piped in multiproduct pipelines, owing to problems relating to contamina- tion of other products, such as jet fuel, as well as possible stress corrosion cracking, warns Sapia environmental adviser Anton Moldan.

“The Biofuels Implementation Committee has a number of task teams that are addressing the technical and practical issues pertaining to the implementation of the biofuels strategy, such as the issue of costing and cost effectiveness and the associated costs and risks to infrastructure, as well as blending at depots or refineries. Sapia represents its members and their technical questions, such as sending jet fuel in a multiproduct pipeline after petrol blended with bioethanol has been sent,” he says.


INDUSTRIAL POTENTIAL

While substantial work remains to establish biofuels on a commercially sound footing, significant drivers to establish the industry exist, says South African National Energy Development Institute Renewable Energy Centre of Research and Development (Record) centre manager Dr Karen Surridge-Talbot.

Record is focused on waste-to-energy projects and uses international cooperation, such as the German International Cooperation Agency, to demonstrate bioenergy projects.

“We have formed the Algal Bioenergy platform in the field of macroalgae, such as seaweeds, and microalgae, such as single- celled, free-living algae. While there is significant potential to produce bio-oil, and potentially ready-to-use diesel, from algae, the costs remain high. However, there is also potential to produce high-value alternative products from our research in this field, while boosting biotechnology and renewable- energy in South Africa,” she says.

Biofuels are subsidised worldwide. This is owing to petroleum being significantly cheaper to produce. However, the development of biofuels in South Africa may actually boost South African farmers, who compete against often heavily subsidised farmers in developed countries by developing an additional market for agricultural products that will help to improve the business case for farming, improving food security and job creation, notes Agricultural Research Council (ARC) Genomics Unit senior researcher Dr Dirk Swanevelder.

“South African farmers face significant international competition and, while biofuels may not be commercially viable at the moment, research and development must be done on agriculture and biotechnology in South Africa to ensure our future competitiveness and food security, to prevent a situation where the country will have to import and pay for biotechnology and to develop additional products and strains of crops,” he highlights.


AGRICULTURAL DIVIDEND?

South Africa successfully made biodiesel from sunflowers during the 1970s oil crisis, during the apartheid isolation years, specifically to ensure that farmers could plough and harvest food.

South African researchers achieved good results for indirect injection diesel engines and the engines that could run wholly on sunflower oil. However, a rule of thumb is not to burn anything that is edible, while burning inedible and less costly mineral oils is common sense, says ARC Agricultural Engineering Institute programme manager Petrus Britz.

“This does not, however, preclude the development of a biofuels industry in South Africa, as there are significant high-value pharmaceutical and hygiene products that can be produced from these extracts and oils,” he says.

The ARC is busy with a breeding programme to develop sunflower lines that produce more oil or are more suited to on-site processing. This project started recently and developing suitable cultivars will take time, says Swanevelder.

“The project is focused on assessing the entire value chain of biofuels to assess the costs and concerns of each link in order to create a robust and sustainable commercial biofuels industry. Though soya beans produce a higher value oil cake and have a lower nitrogen requirement, they are less drought tolerant and produce less oil than sunflower seeds” he says.

Meanwhile, biodiesel is produced through a reversible transesterification process in which ethanol and plant oil are converted to biodiesel and glycerol in a reaction that takes place in the presence of a catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

However, the process requires good-quality control, since the presence of water may result in the production of soap and not biodiesel. Several researchers are focusing on this conversion system to reduce costs and risks associated with biodiesel production worldwide.

Part of the goal of research is to enable farmers to access more markets for their crops to enable them to hedge their financial risks arising from price fluctuations. For example, producing oil-rich sunflower cultivars that farmers can plant will provide them with more options to maintain profitability, says Swanevelder.

“Farmers already plant sunflowers when conditions for maize are not optimal, as sunflowers can be planted later in the season and are more hardy in dryland production. The research and development being done on sunflowers will help to ensure the sustain- ability of agriculture in South Africa and, hence, food security, as well as reducing the financial risks faced by farmers in South Africa,” he notes.
Further, farming and agriculture have a significantly larger indirect benefit than most other primary industries and investments in agriculture, typically, have twice the impact that investments in other industries have, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation found in a 2008 study.

“We should be a much more active farming nation, as the knowledge of planting and harvesting crops often takes many years and sometimes generations to gain. This opportunity must be seized if South Africa wants to create significant number of jobs, while producing commercially viable produce that can also be used in nonagricultural industries,” concludes Britz.

Die Schlinge zieht sich, zu - W:0 - Mar 21, 2014

- Frank Schäffler -
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/6651835-meinung-schlinge

" Gestern ist auf europäischer Ebene eine weitreichende Vereinbarung zwischen Europäischem Parlament, EU-Kommission und Rat zur Bankenabwicklung in Europa getroffen worden, die Folgen noch in diesem Jahr haben wird. Der Präsident der Europäischen Kommission José Manuel Barroso kann zufrieden sein. So auch seine offizielle Stellungnahme: „Die heutige politische Vereinbarung zum einheitlichen Abwicklungsmechanismus vollendet unsere Bankenunion. Dies wird Vertrauen und Stabilität in den Finanzmärkten stärken und die Kreditvergabe an die Realwirtschaft wiederherstellen. Wir haben versprochen, dies vor den Europawahlen zu tun. Ich bin sehr erfreut, dass wir dieses Versprechen erfüllt haben.”

Worum geht es? Es geht darum, wer die Lasten der Bankenschieflagen in Europa tragen soll: die Eigentümer und die Gläubiger oder die Sparer und die Steuerzahler. Es geht um viel Geld. Letzte Woche habe ich hier an dieser Stelle über die Schuldensituation der spanischen Banken im Zuge der dortigen Immobilienkrise geschrieben. Danach stehen rund 17 Prozent des Kreditvolumens – rund 250 Mrd. Euro – an den Privatsektor im Feuer. Hohe Wertberichtigungen für den spanischen Bankensektor sind unausweichlich, die deren Eigenkapital im Winde verwehen lässt. In den anderen Krisenländern sieht es nicht viel besser oder sogar schlimmer aus. In Zypern wird jeder zweite Kredite (!) nicht ordnungsgemäß zurückgezahlt. Die klassische Lehre lautet: So lange die Banken nicht mit frischem Kapital ausgestattet werden, solange werden keine neuen Kredite durch den maroden Bankensektor ausgereicht und solange wird es keinen neuen Wirtschaftsfrühling in diesen Ländern geben. Da es keine privaten Kapitalgeber gibt, die in ein marodes Banksystem frisches Geld geben wollen, bleibt nur der Staat, die Sparer oder die Insolvenz der Institute.

Da Letzteres ausgeschlossen wurde, hatten die Eurostaaten mit einem überschuldeten Bankensektor von Anfang an nur ein Ziel: Sie wollten an ihren Staatshaushalten vorbei, die „Vitalisierung“ ihres Bankensektors durch das Geld der anderen Staatshaushalte und der Sparer in Europa vorantreiben.

Angela Merkel hat dieses Zugeständnis bereits sehr früh gemacht. Am 29. Juni 2012 stimmte sie beim Europäischen Rat in Brüssel zu „sobald unter Einbeziehung der EZB ein wirksamer einheitlicher Aufsichtsmechanismus für Banken des Euro-Währungsgebiets eingerichtet worden ist, hätte der ESM nach einem ordentlichen Beschluss die Möglichkeit, Banken direkt zu rekapitalisieren.“ Dieser entscheidende Satz in der Gipfelerklärung war die Eintrittskarte für die sogenannte Bankenunion aus einheitlicher Bankenaufsicht, Einlagensicherung und Abwicklungsmechanismus für in Schieflage geratene Banken in Europa.

Die Bankenaufsicht soll unter dem Dach der EZB bis Ende dieses Jahres stehen. Die Bankenabwicklung und die europäische Einlagensicherung wurden gestern abschließend eingestielt. Damit geht eine lange, liberale Tradition zu Ende, die mit dem Genossenschaftswesen und Namen wie Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch und Eugen Richter verbunden war. Glaubten die Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken noch, ihr seit dem 19. Jahrhundert stolzes Modell der Selbstorganisation und der gegenseitigen Notfallhilfe im Verbund der Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken würde sie vor dem Zugriff eines paternalistischen Europas schützen, sind sie seit gestern eines Besseren belehrt. Ebenso geht es den Sparkassen. Auch sie dachten, dass sie nicht für Bankenschieflagen in Europa zur Kasse gebeten werden. Jetzt geht es viel schneller. Ein Fonds der in den ersten acht Jahren mindestens 55 Mrd. Euro von allen Banken in Europa einsammeln wird, soll bereits in den ersten zwei Jahren mit 33 Mrd. Euro befüllt werden. Er soll auch kapitalmarktfähig werden, das heißt, er kann sich verschulden. Vielleicht bekommt er auch noch eine eigene Banklizenz und damit die Eintrittskarte, um sich bei der EZB frisches Geld durch die Teilnahme an sogenannten Tendergeschäften zu besorgen. Dann könnte der Abwicklungsfonds Anleihen begeben, um frisches Geld am Kapitalmarkt aufzunehmen, aber sich gleichzeitig auch direkt bei der EZB frisches Geld besorgen.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass es im zweiten Halbjahr sehr schnell gehen wird. Erst stellt die EZB per Beschluss fest (im Zweifel per Mehrheit), dass eine Bank abgewickelt bzw. mit frischem Eigenkapital ausgestattet werden muss und anschließend stellt der Ausschuss des einheitlichen Abwicklungsmechanismus die notwendigen Mittel aus dem Abwicklungsfonds (im Zweifel per Mehrheit) bereit. Wenn jetzt noch die direkte Hilfe für Banken aus dem Europäischen Stabilitätsmechanismus ESM möglich wird, dann hat sich die Schlinge entgültig zugezogen. "

Varsity "moves to prove 'coal-waste-to-clean-energy innovation' " - EN/NMMU/DST - Jan 7, 2014

- Leandi Kolver, Martin Zhuwakinyu -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/nmmu-coal-fines-to-biofuel…

"The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s (NMMU’s) Coalgae technology, converting waste coal dust into high-quality clean coal that could then, through further processing, be transformed into biofuel, would undergo a full feasibility study early this year, the university has announced.

Coalgae formed a part of the university’s Microalgae to Energy project that was being funded by the Department of Science and Technology’s (DST’s) Biofuels Demonstration programme, aimed at promoting late-generation biofuels in support of the National Biofuels Strategy.

The technology was developed by NMMU over the past three years and was demonstrated for the first time in January. It had already undergone a prefeasibility engineering study, resulting in a robust and cost-effective design for Coalgae production on a semi- and full commercial scale, the university said.

NMMU stated that researchers at its institute of chemical technology, InnoVenton, had found that the microalgae could be combined with coal and charcoal, and that it could act as a binder for fine coal.

“If you mix coal dust and algae biomass, the algae [collects] onto the surface of the coal and binds the dust together . The result is a coal-algae composite, for which they have coined the name Coalgae ,” InnoVenton’s Professor Ben Zeelie explained.

Coalgae composites could then be used as a substitute in applications that require coal, or it could be further processed through various additional technologies, such as pyrolysis, to turn it into a biofossil crude oil blend that could be processed into a variety of fuels, including petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and heavy fuel oil, the university explained.


Advantages

“Carbon sequestration, the upgrading of low-grade coal and the production of clean water are among the advantages of the production of Coalgae, which, along with the production of the biocrude oil, have presented commercial opportunities,” NMMU said.

The production of Coalgae also had the substantial advantage of eliminating the requirement for two separate process steps for the production of biofuel blends, as both the fossil-fuel-based raw material and the renewable raw material were processed in a single process.

This technology would also meet the mandatory blending criteria set out in the Draft Position Paper on the South African Biofuels Regulatory Framework, which was published for public comment on January 15.

The document stated that, from October 1, 2015, all transport fuels had to be a blend, with biofuels making up at least 2% of the blend.

“Coalgae exceeds this target,” the DST said.


Framework

Meanwhile, the framework document also said, an appropriate Biofuels Pricing Framework had been created to financially incentivise the production of biofuels.

“The delay in implementation [of biofuel projects in South Africa] appears to be as a result of [these] projects not being financially attractive at the prevailing feedstock and crude oil/liquid fuel prices.

“Accordingly, the publication of the Draft Position Paper seeks to address this issue by financially incentivising the production of biofuels in South Africa through the establishment of a Biofuels Pricing Framework developed by the Department of Energy, together with National Treasury and other economic sector departments,” Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr projects and infrastructure senior associate Emma Dempster said.

She noted that the Draft Position Paper sought to stimulate the South African biofuels industry by making provision for efficient investments in bioethanol and biodiesel manufacturing facilities.

The Draft Position Paper also sought to guarantee a return on investment, while also guaranteeing the levels at which eligible biofuels manufacturing entities would be subsidised.

Further, the paper also sought to regulate the monthly biofuels transfer pricing to compensate the petroleum industry for the investment in infrastructure upgrades, Dempster said.

“Among [the paper’s] positive attributes is the creation of a sustainable biofuels industry through the introduction of a regulatory framework, guaranteeing the uptake by licensed petroleum manufacturers of biofuel products supplied by licensed biofuel manu facturers, as well as the introduction of a Biofuels Pricing Mechanism which is intended to stimulate the secondary economy.

“This will mean the creation of jobs, assis tance with energy security by creating a more energy secure environment by means of a local fuel production industry, and the production of cleaner fuels. All these developments will be beneficial to South Africa as a whole,” she said. "

"US-Präsident Barack Obama will sich laut einem Medienbericht noch am Freitag erneut mit den Chefs amerikanischer Internet-Konzerne treffen, um die Wogen nach dem NSA-Skandal zu glätten. An dem Treffen werde unter anderen Facebook-Gründer Mark Zuckerberg teilnehmen, berichtete die Website 'Politico' unter Berufung auf informierte Personen. Zuckerberg hatte Obama vor wenigen Tagen angerufen, um sich über die NSA-Überwachung zu beschweren.

Auch die Chefs von Google und Yahoo, Larry Page und Marissa Mayer, seien eingeladen, hieß es. Für Mayer sei der Termin aber zu kurzfristig gekommen. Page hatte sich erst diese Woche enttäuscht über das Vorgehen der US-Regierung gezeigt und eine öffentliche Debatte über die Überwachungsprogramme gefordert. Der NSA-Skandal hatte spürbar einen Keil zwischen die Internet-Industrie und die US-Regierung getrieben.

Obama hatte sich bereits im vergangenen Jahr nach Beginn der NSA-Enthüllungen mit den Tech-Konzernchefs zusammengesetzt. Dabei schlug Mark Pincus, Gründer der für Online-Spiele wie 'Farmville' bekannten Spielefirma Zynga, nach CNN-Informationen vor, den Informanten Edward Snowden nicht zu bestrafen.

Zitat von Popeye82: Tsodilo Resources - Announces Exploration Target for the Xaudum Iron Ore Project in Botswana -of 5.000.000.000 to 7.000.000.000 Tonnes of Iron Ore @15 -40% Fe, for the entire strike length - Feb 23, 2014

"Summary":

+ A conservative exploration target of 5.000.000.000 to 7.000.000.000 tonnes of Iron Ore @grades ranging between 15-40% Fe has been calculated for the entire strike length(36.8km) of the Xaudum Iron Ore project, Botswana. This includes both units of the Xaudum Iron Formation consisting of a Magnetite Banded Iron Formation "BIF"(ranging between 25-40 % Fe) +a Magnetic Schist(ranging between 15-25% Fe). All mineralized units within the Xaudum Iron Project are capable of producing a premium grade magnetite product of >68% Fe as discussed in the Company's Press Release of Dec 17, `13 +available on the website @www.tsodiloresources.com.

+ Tsodilo calculated this exploration target by extrapolating results from current drill hole data to the far larger area covered by the ground magnetic geophysical data by utilizing a ground magnetics inversion model.

+ ~only a fifth of the ground magnetic anomaly has been drilled to date, around 7/36.8km total strike length, from which 30.6km of core has been recovered from 143 boreholes in this area, see Block 1 area in Figure 1 below.

Australian rare earths miner signs MoU with Chinese firm - MA/FT/GM&E - Mar 24, 2014

- C. Latimer -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/australian-rare-earths-miner…
www.ggg.gl/docs/ASX-announcements/GMEL-NFC_MoU_Announcement.…

"Greenland Minerals and Energy has signed an MoU with China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry’s Foreign Engineering and Construction Co. (NFC) to building an integrated global rare earth supply chain.

According to GME this agreement “sets out a framework for both parties to co-operate in aligning the rare earth concentrates from GMEL’s Kvanefjeld Project, with NFC’s rare earth separation

Under the terms of the MoU both parties will increase the technical co-operation to aid in completing the feasibility studies on the site, and in finalising a mining licence application.

GME says timing is crucial, as the two companies are aiming to align the completion of licences with the construction of NFC’s new separation facility.

NFC added the plant will be “one of the world’s newest, largest-capacity and most technologically advanced rare earth separation facilities”.

This agreement comes close to six months after Greenland opened up wider mining in the country, allowing for both uranium and rare earths mining in the arctic nation.

This announcement was a massive win for GME, as its Kvanefjeld project is being touted as having the potential to be one of the world’s largest rare earth producing mines, and is estimated to contain 619 million tonnes of mineral resources.

Part of the increased interest in mining Greenland has been tied to the country’s significant ice loss.

The move may also heighten concerns over China’s ongoing global rare earths monopoly, with the country already producing more than 90% of global output, and owning a control stake in many of the world’s other rare earths operators, according to the financial times.

Acquisitions of Australian rare earth miners are strongly backed by the Chinese Government, a China-based industrial banker said. Since 2004, or even earlier, the Chinese government has treated rare earth resources as strategic. In order to protect the resources available to China, the government employs a three-pronged strategy; rare earth exports are restricted, imports encouraged, and outbound rare earth acquisitions actively encouraged.

With fellow Australian rare earth miners Lynas Corporation and Arafura Resources already seeing Chinese ownership on their stockholding, GME was the last independent Australian rare earths company not aligned with a Chinese rare earths business. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Paringa Resources share price doubles, after news of US coal acquisition - PAI UK - Sep 3, 2013
www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/47494/paringa-r…

"Paringa Resources(ASX:PNL) has seen its share price double today after entering into a conditional agreement to acquire Hartshorne Coal Mining which has export quality thermal and coking coal projects located in the USA.

Paringa will acquire 100% of the shares in Hartshorne, an Australian unlisted public company, via the issue of 61 million Paringa shares to Hartshorne shareholders.

PNL's major shareholder, Silver Lake Resources (ASX:SLR) who holds 34% of Paringa, supports the Transaction and intends to vote for the acquisition.

Hartshorne was founded with the purpose of securing premium coal assets in the USA proximal to existing infrastructure for supply to domestic and export markets.

Notably, Ian Middlemas, as a co-founder of Hartshorne, will join the board of Paringa as Non-Executive Director.

Hartshorne's projects include Buck Creek, an advanced high quality, substantially permitted, domestic and export thermal coal project covering an area of over 31,000 acres in the high growth Illinois Coal Basin in Kentucky. Buck Creek is one of the last remaining thermal coal projects within the Illinois Basin that is not controlled by a major coal producer.

Geology of the region, and specifically within the project area, lends itself to some of the most productive and lowest cost mining in the U.S., and is located close to some of the largest and highest margin thermal coal mines in the U.S. owned by goliath coal producer, Alliance Resource Partners, a US$2.9 billion capitalised company.

Excellent river, road and rail infrastructure provides access to domestic power plants and underutilized coastal coal export terminals in the Gulf of Mexico.

A substantial existing drilling database will form the basis for an initial JORC Mineral Resource Estimate.

Hartshorne's second major project is the Arkoma Coking Project, which maintains a first mover advantage in an underdeveloped low volatile bituminous coking coal region with lease holdings covering 14000 acres in the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas.

Arkoma is also infrastructure advantaged, with access to existing waterways and rail leading to the same coal terminals in the Gulf of Mexico.

The company’s cash reserves after completion of the transaction will be around A$7.5 million, allowing fast tracked development of the coal assets and funding of existing mineral projects in Brazil. Substantial news flow over the next 6 to 12 months is expected as development continues.

The acquisition of Hartshorne, which provides world class coal assets and management, is likely to spark a sustained re-rating of Paringa.


Profile

Paringa Resources (ASX: PNL) is focused on graphite, gold and copper in Brazil. "

China to create large iron ore mining group - MT/CG/CMMA - Mar 24, 2014
www.mining-technology.com/news/newschina-to-create-large-iro…

"The Chinese Government is planning to create a large conglomerate of iron ore mining companies that would jointly produce half of its domestic iron ore over the next ten years.

This development is part of the nation's plans to end its steel-making industry's dependency on imports of iron ore.

The large mining group will be led by Ansteel Mining, a state-backed company and the country's largest ore producer. The conglomerate would comprise six to eight mining businesses, reports The Wall Street Journal.

China Metallurgical Mines Association noted that this strategy would allow the country to break its reliance upon imported ore and to support the transformation of its own steel industry, for international competitiveness.

Under the plan, the association is working with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to develop and advance the project as soon as possible.

In addition, the country's top economic planning agency has requested steel companies to step up the search for potential iron ore assets abroad.

Analysts and the government anticipate that the project would be completed by 2025.

China makes half of the world's steel but depends upon international mining companies to supply the majority of the iron ore.

The imports account for around 70% of the ore used in China's steel production, according to the Metallurgical Mines Association.

More than half of China's ore production comes from small miners producing three million tonnes or less a year. "

Stick filters out ‘99 per cent’ of bacteria from water, New technology based on plant tissue called xylem "may help provide safer drinking water, says a study" - SciDevNet/MIT/PO/UKDfID, KUALA LUMPUR - Mar 24, 2014
www.scidev.net/global/innovation/news/stick-filters-out-99-p…
www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.…

"Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States are working with their counterparts in developing countries to produce an “economical and efficient” means of filtering out bacteria from water using plant xylem that normally transports water and nutrients from the soil.

The novel technology could provide a solution to the burden of water-borne diseases in East Asia and the Pacific where about 180 million people lack access to safe water supply, according to the UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund).

Rohit Karnik, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT where he heads the Microfluidics and Nanofluidics Research Laboratory, says his team is interacting with water treatment experts in developing countries to produce a prototype of the xylem filter in the next 2-3 years.

“Low cost, easy-to-use and effective methods of water purification are needed to provide clean drinking water to a significant fraction of the global population,” says Karnik. “Our eventual goal is to enable practical implementation of xylem-based filters.”

In a recent study published in PLOS One (26 February), Karnik’s team demonstrated that the xylem of certain plants can effectively filter bacteria from water. Xylem tissue works like pipes in which water and minerals move from the roots to the leaves.

Using the sapwood of coniferous trees stripped of their bark, the team fitted pine branch cuttings into one end of a plastic tube. They then used this simple setup to filter a solution containing a high concentration of the E. coli bacteria.

They found that the xylem filter removed “at least 99 per cent” of the bacteria. A small stick around three centimetres long is sufficient to filter several litres of water a day — “sufficient to meet the clean drinking water needs of one person” the study says.

While acknowledging the potential of xylem filters, Daniele Lantagne, assistant professor at the Tufts University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the United States, emphasises that prototypes must first be “tested according to the WHO guidelines for evaluation of household water treatment products”.

The WHO standards require that safe drinking water contains “no detectable E. coli in every 100 ml sample."le”.

Other water-borne pathogens like viruses may also slip through the xylem, says Jonathan Ball, virologist at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, noting that Karnik’s team showed that the xylem filter could not remove particles smaller than 80 nanometre.

“A cut-off of 80 nanometre would remove some viruses (for example, poxviruses) but not all (such as noroviruses) that are harmful to humans,” says Ball.

The MIT study, however, provides directions for further development of the xylem filtration technology. A possible design, Karnik suggests, could be a water container placed a few feet above a faucet that has a replaceable xylem filter inside — no pumps required — that could filter four litres of water daily.

As he notes, the xylem filter is “cheap, light and easy to set up”— a “promising alternative” to costlier water treatment methods such as sand filters, solar-disinfection, chlorination and other expensive membrane filters. "

Huawei criticizes NSA, for alleged spying - CER/FT - Mar 24, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65445

"Huawei Technologies has condemned the US National Security Agency for reportedly spying on it, Financial Times reported, citing a statement by the Chinese telecom equipment maker.

The NSA breached Huawei's internal servers to access the company's network and conduct surveillance on countries including Iran, Pakistan and Cuba, according to revelations first reported by The New York Times, and based on documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Huawei called on global technology companies to join forces to fight government espionage. The US has accused China of spying via Huawei. "

Protestors occupy Taiwan government building - CER/R - Mar 24, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65448

"Worried that growing economic ties with mainland China would encroach on Taiwan’s businesses, demonstrators on Sunday night staked out inside Taiwan’s government headquarters to protest a trade agreement with the mainland, Reuters reported.

The agreement, due to be ratified on April 8, would open 80 of the mainland's service sectors to Taiwan and 64 Taiwan sectors to the mainland. Ma Ying-jeou and the Kuomintang, the incumbent political party, hoped the deal would secure entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a broad trade deal among 12 countries around the Asia-Pacific region. Cross-strait relations have improved considerably since the mainland-friendly Ma won the presidency in 2008. "

"Less than 450,000 people currently live in downtown Los Angeles. But what if the population grew 10 times that to 4.5 million? Is that level of growth sustainable?

CAPACITY is a research study produced by Gensler Los Angeles which analyses the maximum population of Downtown Los Angeles. Capacity synthesizes building information, zoning, energy waste, water, traffic, opens spaces and combines it with a rocking sound track.

As downtown Los Angeles is experiencing a resurgence, it’s timely to understand the relationship between resource consumption and population growth. And allowing fore more intelligent future planning for our cities.

www.kraiglabs.com/kraig-biocraft-laboratories-spider-silk-is…

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories' Spider Silk Production Efficiency Doubles; During the pilot production program, the yield rate of viable silk cocoons was ~30%. @those rates, the cost structure warranted the conversion of the pilot test program to a much larger scale. The latest reports from the current production ramp up point to a ' "dramatic" +unexpected increase' in yield to 70%; >double the output efficiency shown during the pilot phase. The initial assessment from the Company's scientific team is that the Monster Silkworms™ are acclimating to the production environment; K. K. Thompson: "This "dramatic boost in productivity was a surprise to us". Our plan was to methodically increase productivity rates over the next 18 months. Our team had drawn up plans, that included selective breeding +cross breeding, to achieve those goals. To "see such a remarkable gain in so short a time was beyond our expectations. The obvious benefits, should these rates continue, would include reduced production costs +reduced ramp up time." With this doubling in efficiency, we need to focus on emplacing the necessary infrastructure to support the increased productivity. As far as challenges go, these are good problems to have. We "have already taken action to beef up our production infrastructure, to support these larger numbers. The improvement in performance is "dramatic"; but, with such significant advancements I am cautious until I see that results are consistent over the next few months" " - Mar 24, 2014

E-Waste Systems, Inc. Signs Joint Venture Project With National Recovery Technologies(NRT), which is "highly recognized worldwide for innovative sorting technologies in recycling","to Develop 'State-of-the-Art Sorting Facility' ", EWSI "Technological Expertise Continues to Expand"; The project "is designed to develop a pilot electronic waste sorting facility, as add-on to an existing EWSI location. The facility will utilize 'state-of-the-art detection techniques', to identify materials containing rare earth metals, such as neodymium +dysprosium within the e-waste stream. The rare earths will then be extracted, through innovative magnetic sorting, +further processed for recovery." NRT developed the technology with help from the Small Business Innovation Research(SBIR) program, meant to encourage small businesses to engage in research +development projects aimed @commercialization. NRT has already received its funding through the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in `13, for Automated Identification +Sorting of Rare Earth Elements in an E-Waste Stream. Most rare earth elements are mined through open pit mining, which involves opening the surface of the earth using heavy equipment +machinery. Creating this disruption on the surface of the earth makes mines the point source of release for three major contaminants: radionuclides, rare earth elements, +dust +metal in addition to disrupting thriving ecosystems. Each of these contaminants escapes the mines in different ways +they each have different detrimental effects on the environment1; Tracey Hartje: "We "are 'very enthusiastic +eager' to be part of the expanding EWSI brand we believe that being involved in this project takes one of our most innovative technologies to full commercial use. There is significant strategic value for both parties, +we are eager to commence with our initiatives" "; J. Rich: "Sorting e-waste streams has its own set of challenges + risks, @a level separate from anything else in the world of waste management. We created technologies designed to mitigate those issues, +provide processes that are commercially viable"; Mr. Nielson: "EWSI's "objective is a global one +NRT has presence in 'many important world markets'. They opened a demo center in the Boji Science Park of Suzhou, China in `12, a European HQ through their parent company, Bulk Handling Systems(BHS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in `13, +continue to experience growth in their Tennessee operations. NRT exemplifies the highest health +environmental standards, combined with strong governmental as well as commercial support +interest". The EWSI portfolio of technologies +industry expertise "continues to expand, +the addition of this new proprietary system enables EWSI to deliver these new solutions on a 'global scale' ". Teaming with EWSI "provides access to network affiliates, 'proprietary technologies', including the ePlant1000, eWasteCC™, +eWasteTrack™, +committing to the highest industry standards, including zero landfill +the highest tier of health +safety concerns. EWSI brings technology, regulatory knowledge, industry experience, and an interwoven supply chain solution for the proper handling of high-end electronics recycling, +electronic waste materials recovery +reuse on a global scale" " - Feb 27, 2014

Startup Altaeros" to launch world’s highest wind project in Alaska", Wind way up in the skies. Startup Altaeros is "starting to deliver on its idea" - GO/MIT/NYT - Mar 21, 2014

http://gigaom.com/2014/03/21/startup-altaeros-to-launch-worl…

www.altaerosenergies.com/pressrelease_2014_03.html

"The city of Fairbanks, Alaska will soon be home to the world’s highest wind turbine from a startup spun out of MIT, called Altaeros. The four-year-old startup will deploy its large helium-filled blimp-looking turbine at 1,000 feet for 18 months at a cost of $1.3 million.




The idea around high-altitude wind is that the wind power at great heights can be much greater — winds 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the ground are 5 to 8 times as powerful as they are on the ground. Altaeros’ turbine, called the BAT (Buoyant Airborne Turbine) can deliver twice as much power as a comparable standard turbine.




Floating a wind turbine in the air could have other advantages as well, like it would have less of an environmental footprint on the ground, and it could be kept away from sensitive regions under conflict or in a disaster area. The team is targeting remote regions and specific applications like disaster relief, off grid backup power for cell phone base stations and military bases.

At 18 cents per kilowatt-hour, Altaeros’ technology is substantially more expensive on a per kilowatt hour basis than standard wind turbines. In some windy regions large standard wind turbines can be deployed at scale for 4 to 5 cents per kilowatt hour. The higher price of Altaeros’ technology means it would need to find future customers in areas where grid electricity is expensive — like Alaska — or where expensive offgrid diesel generators are the main option.






Other companies are looking at high altitude wind energy as well, including wind giant Vestas, and Google, which bought startup Makani Power. Altaeros raised funding for this first demonstration plant from the Alaska Energy Authority’s Emerging Energy Technology Fund, and Tata Group’s former Chairman Ratan N Tata. "

Global ​Crowdfunding Update: Will the Pan-European Law Overtake the US JOBS Act? - E.com/R - Mar 24, 2014

- D. Drake -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/crowdfunding/global-crowdfundi…

"In an exclusive report, Reuters says EU will come out with a document next week that will implement a pan-European crowdfunding law. And yet the US JOBS Act for equity crowdfunding is nearing it's second year and won't become a practical law earlier than 1000 days after it was signed into a law April 5, 2012 by President Obama.

The proposal to be released according to Reuters next week shows activity.​

​However, EU has similar processes as the US , which can be tedious and time-consuming. It takes EU laws potentially 1000 days as well to be implemented and that is not from a proposal but from the moment the EU Commission and Parliament passes it into law. We could be looking at a 3-5 year time frame should the proposal come out next week before it can be implemented.

​These things take time. There is a process. I wrote about this 15 months ago: 1000 days for an EU JOBS Act

In parallell,​ Alessandro Lerro in Italy has been representing the majority of crowdfund​ing for equity startup platforms where Italy,​ a year ago,​ passed a crowdfund​ing law that none has to date been able to leverage there. ​

There is a lot of red tape but it is a movement towards liberation of capital and investments in Italy.​ ​

Lerro says, "It's interesting that the EU is so convinced about the opportunity to boost crowdfunding as an innovative financial tool, that it is choosing to soften the approach against State aids; in Italy, this could mean a wide extension to all the SME of the Government's support from policy to innovation, so boosting the economic recovery."

"Coal explorer Attila Resources has declared a maiden Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 48.3-million tonnes at its Seymour property, which forms part of the Kodiak coking coal project, in the US.

Attila said on Tuesday that the resource estimate was based on the results of a two-hole diamond core drilling and sampling programme conducted in 2013, as well as historic data.

“We are very pleased to see the inferred resource exceeding our exploration target. This increases Attila’s global resource inventory to over 126-million tonnes of high-quality hard coking coal,” said Attila executive director Evan Cranston.

He noted that in addition, the maiden resource at Seymour provided confidence in the potential for these assets to expand Attila’s future production profile, with only a modest incremental capital expenditure, given the close proximity to the existing infrastructure. "

People's Bank to cap mobile payments - CER/WSJ - Mar 25, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65450

"The People's Bank of China on Monday said that it would cap the amount of money that can be spent using mobile-payment services, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a PBOC interview with state media.

The PBOC said the proposed caps were designed to limit business risks, without specifying the risks. The move potentially cuts off a multibillion-dollar business for companies such as e-commerce giant Alibaba Group and rival Tencent Holdings (0700.HKG), which have rushed to release products that help smartphone users shop with their phones. Last week, Alibaba Chairman said the cap could be about US$1,600 (RMB10,000) per month. "

Malaysia flight crashed in southern Indian Ocean - CER/WSJ - Mar 25, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65452

"Analysis of all available satellite data has shown that Malaysia Airlines flight 370 flew toward a remote part of the Indian Ocean over a number of hours before crashing there, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing comments on Monday by an executive of the satellite company that performed the latest analysis.

Chris McLaughlin, executive vice president of British satellite operator Inmarsat (ISAT.LON) said in a CNN interview that the plane with 239 people on board, most of whom were Chinese, veered sharply off its authorized flight plan on March 8 and flew south. Poor weather conditions could hinder the search today. "

"Cardia Bioplastics has established a 100% subsidiary CO2STARCH Pty Ltd as a vehicle to commercialise the company’s patented novel CO2 polymer – starch blending technology.

The technology uses CO2 emissions as a substitute for oil and then blends them further with starch as another substitute for oil to create a renewable and sustainable bioplastic with less reliance on fossil fuels.

Cardia launched the world’s first CO2 + Starch biodegradable carry bags in October 2010 and has since received much interest in the technology from international organisations. "

Cardia’s Bio-Containers have been independently tested +validated to comply with the stringent performance requirements of the nutritional supplement +cosmetics industries. The Bio-Containers are well-suited to store vitamins, medical tablets, food +nutritional supplements, +cosmetic products. Bio-Containers offer excellent physical properties +shelf life for the stored products.

"In Pennsylvania, Optimus Technologies announced the launch of a first-to-market biofuel conversion system, the Optimus Vector System. Optimus’ solution reduces fuel costs up to 25 percent, reduces emissions up to 80 percent, and addresses alternative fuel mandates much more easily than other alternative fuel solutions such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Medium- and heavy-duty fleets can realize significant savings, with the potential for a payback of less than one year, from Optimus’ purpose-built solution. Vector prices start at $9,000. "

I-Minerals "Adds Value to Positive Prefeas, with New Drill Data" - ML - Oct 4, 2013

- Doug Hadfield -
www.midasletter.com/2013/10/minerals-adds-value-positive-pre…

"I-Minerals Inc. (CVE:IMA) is an industrial minerals project developer moving towards production on their 100% controlled Bovill Kaolin-Halloysite project near Bovill, Idaho.

Here’s the $150 million dollar question of the day: What are Halloysite and Kaolin? Ask around the water cooler at any securities firm in town and you’ll probably hear, “What the hell is Halloysite? Kaolin? Dunno! ”

These industrial minerals may not be household names, but they are household items, and they are part of an industrial mineral complex estimated to be worth $31 billion dollars in the US alone. (USGS).

In fact, industrial minerals are often overlooked even by prospectors in the field, or those surfing for opportunities on the Internet as they are considered by some to be a ‘big company’ only game. In spite of that, as technologies change and adapt over time, new uses are being found for minerals that were once used primarily for mundane uses like pottery and ceramics.

Take Halloysite, for example. Halloysite is traditionally seen as a simple ceramic material, but new end uses today are taking advantage of its unique mineral structure. Halloysite can be found in plastics, nail polish, cancer cures and body armour, to name but a few.

As with most things, new uses create new demand, which—all other things being equal—tends to push up prices. Keep in mind that industrial minerals generally trade on the open market, and fetch whatever price the market will bear, unlike gold, silver and other commodities that have a set price.

Halloysite today sells for between $350 and $1,500 per metric ton. Charles River and Associates, in a 2012 report on this subject, wrote that for certain applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals “prices for halloysite nanotubes could climb as high as $3,000 per metric tonne.“

Many investors still will read this with an obliging shrug of their shoulders, but to put that into startling perspective, let’s put those figures into action. In February this year, I-Minerals released an NI-43-101 Prefeasibility Technical Report on its Bovill Kaolin Project located in Latah County, Idaho. The project has economic quantities of Halloysite, potassium feldspar, high purity quartz and kaolinite.

In the report just 26 years worth of production was assessed, for an after tax NPV of $150 million (at a 6% discount). The IRR was 28%. Fine numbers, and if you read the Pre-feasibility it’s clear the company would be happy go into production with the existing resource at the existing minerals prices. Capital payback of $66 million would be three years.


The authors of the report (SRK) state:

“The results of the study indicate that aluminosilicate mineral products (kaolin, halloysite, metakaolin, K-feldspar) and quartz can be produced in the desired purity, and that market interest exists in a number of fields such as ceramics, personal care and cosmetic products, glass, bricks, and cement products. Project financial results justify advancing and refining the prefeasibility engineering designs to feasibility level during the next 12 to 18 months.”


Nevertheless, should the price of Halloysite adjust upward to the predicted $3,000 per tonne, annual revenues for the company would jump from $39,000,000 annually over the first eight years, to well over $60 million. Granted, there are going to be different prices for different products sold into different markets. Some may achieve the $3,000 per tonne mark; others will not.

The translate that into more easily discernable terms: That’s the equivalent of more than 43,000 ounces of gold per year or 345,000 ounces of gold over the first eight years. And if you extrapolate that over the 26 year mine life, it adds up to 1.1 million ounces of gold. Can all the halloysite be sold at $3000 per ton in the first 8 years? Probably not, but every tonne sold at this price increases the average price received and the economics of the project.

Presently, IMA shares trade at $0.17 per share, and yet these shares are completely bucking the market trend. Over the past year the company is up 9.37%; over six months up 84%; over three months up 169%.

And why anyways would you be talking about I-Minerals around the water cooler? I-Minerals announced today (October 2, 2013) that they have received initial results from the first 17 holes drilled on Kelly’s Hump. Kelly’s Hump is a relatively recently acquired part of the project, just east of the main mineralized zone known as Middle Ridge (where most of the resources are presently found).

Sixteen of the 17 holes intersected significant thickness of primary clay (IE that clay which tends to be mineralized). Of those, nine holes returned strong concentrations of halloysite with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 30 feet with halloysite concentrations (of the total rock mass) ranging from 11% to 19%. These data show an average thickness of the halloysite-rich areas at approximately 19.7 feet with the average concentration of halloysite being 13.7%.

The primary significance of this is that it answers one of the few “loose ends” on the project.

The January 2013 Prefeasibility study assumed that defined halloysite reserves were only sufficient to support the initial 10 years of halloysite production. The success at Kelly’s Hump in identifying multiple areas containing wide areas of significant concentrations of halloysite could provide halloysite reserves for the entire mine life when the Prefeasibility study is updated. This could add another $50 to $60 million (undiscounted at $600 per tonne halloysite) to the project’s already robust valuation.

Or, as Thomas Conway, President and CEO of I-Minerals put it, “The quick success at Kelly’s Hump has been very encouraging: Not only are we seeing strong concentrations of halloysite — selectively up to three times higher than the average in the Prefeasibility Study, but the halloysite appears to be noticeably whiter than that encountered elsewhere on the property. Needless to say the results exceed all expectations.”

Greek Banks "Eagerly Await International Bailout" - E.com - Mar 27, 2014

- J. Harper -
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/financials/greek-banks-…

"On Mar 27 a conglomerate of European financial authorities revealed they were committing some $11.4 billion USD to Greece to help spur the country’s still-stagnant economy. Greece needs all the help it can get, as early signs of a recovery last year have been hampered by a growing GDP shrink and the stench of still-lingering toxic loans on the country’s major financial institutions.

Greece’s major financial centers have struggled to shed themselves of much of the detritus associated with the global financial meltdown of 2008. As a means of trying to recover, the country has taken to both seeking international bailout while its major banks continue to figure out how to shed their mountains of leftover near-worthless assets.

Concerning the latter, the country’s largest bank by assets, National Bank of Greece (NBG) , is working to create a “bad bank” to house the most toxic assets in a scheme similar to that enacted by Cyprus during their banking crisis a year prior. But shedding bad loans on the books is just half of it. To once again jumpstart a recovery, Greece needs outside capital to shore up the bank’s health.

Along with National Bank of Greece, the other “Big Four” banks of Greece – Piraeus, Alpha Bank, and Eurobank – have traded a surge at the end of last year with a retreat in early 2014. Promises of a Grecian turnaround have given way to economic contraction, with GDP slowing a full 6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013.

However, for a second time, whispers of a real end to the country’s major, yerars-long recession, might be materializing. In March National Bank of Greece claimed to have already begun leading a real recovery, insisting that contrary to widely held assumptions they would not need to sell equity to cover debts.

Regardless of whether Greece’s second run at a recovery will stick, foreign financial concerns that have been similarly affected by Greece’s second slowdown are ready to throw more money at them. The International Monetary Fund in particular has taken an interest in helping Greece recover, offering to extend a 3.6 billion euro ($4.968 billion USD) loan in the next recovery tranche. "
