VIASPACE Establishes Giant KingTM Grass Research Collaboration With the University of California

WALNUT, Calif., July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --VIASPACE Inc. (OTCQB: VSPC) today announced that the company has entered into a research collaboration with the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Division (UCANR). The objectives of the research are to:

Compare the growth of Giant King Grass using subsurface drip irrigation with flood (furrow) irrigation
Compare individual node and whole stalk planting methods
Evaluate yields when cut every 6 months for bioenergy applications
Evaluate yields when cut every 2 months for animal feed or anaerobic digestion to produce biomethane
Evaluate growth of Giant King Grass in a very hot dry climate

UCANR is the division of the University of California that operates the Cooperative Extension Program and nine Research and Extension Centers that link California farmers and ranchers to agricultural and veterinary researchers at the UC Davis, Riverside and Berkeley campuses. VIASPACE is collaborating with the 255 acre Desert Research and Extension Center, located in Holtville, California.

VIASPACE provided some funding for the research, and Dr. Oli Bachie is the research collaborator. Dr. Bachie earned his Ph.D. in Plant Biology at UC Riverside. Dr. Bachie is the UC Cooperative Extension advisor for Imperial, Riverside and San Diego counties specializing in agronomy.

Giant King Grass seedlings were harvested from the VIASPACE propagation nursery in California and were planted at the Holtville farm. The first animal feed harvest will be in August. Giant King Grass is a perennial grass, and the research project is planned to continue for multiple years.

VIASPACE CEO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, reported, "I received a great undergraduate education (in Physics) at UC Davis which is one of the world's outstanding agriculture universities, and I have recently served on the Dean's Advisory Council. I am pleased to be able to collaborate with UC on this research project which will add valuable independent information to our extensive data base. VIASPACE is now growing Giant King Grass in 11 locations in 8 countries on 4 continents, and it has been extensively tested by third party laboratories for electricity production, biogas, biofuel, pellet and animal feed applications."

VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, "The University of California Research Center in Holtville is located in the Imperial Valley, relatively close to where Mesquite Lake Water and Power, LLC is working with VIASPACE with a 22 acre propagation nursery of Giant King Grass for an 18 MW biomass power plant and a companion advanced biofuels facility which are a part of the Mesquite Lake Energy Park. Although this region is a desert, with high temperatures and low average rainfall of three inches per year, the economy is heavily based on agriculture due to irrigation, supplied wholly from the Colorado River via the All-American Canal. The readily available irrigation combined with the sunny, hot climate make for conditions that we believe are excellent for very high yields of Giant King Grass to be used for bioenergy development and animal feed."

Dr. Schewe, continued, "In addition to working as the VIASPACE Chairman, I am one of the largest individual investors in VIASPACE and continue to regularly increase my common share investment in this company. From a business perspective, having a Giant King Grass research collaboration with the prestigious and respected University of California is a remarkable achievement for our company with multiple potential benefits. First, this project will add well-regarded and UC-validated data to our Giant King Grass data base and that ever-expanding data base makes our product more valuable and more creditworthy. Second, we see California as a large and significant domestic market for both green, renewable bioenergy/biofuels and animal feed. This relationship and project increases our exposure and reputation with local and state governing authorities. Third, there is extensive networking between private and public businesses and industries and the University of California-this opens new doors and fosters relationships important to our future. Finally, VIASPACE now has its established propagation nursery and this new research project with UCANR where we can show and demonstrate the biomass platform strength and animal feed utility of Giant King Grass to prospective clients."

Dr. Schewe, concluded, "We are at the half-way point through 2014 and we are continuing to build our company and sign new contracts that are expanding our business pipeline and global footprint. The now competitive economics of carbon-neutral, renewable green bioenergy plus the important global political and environmental mandates of decreasing dependence on fossil fuels and thereby reducing carbon emissions are all working in our favor. In addition, the earth's population is growing and animal feed applications of Giant King Grass will naturally grow as a result. We are creating a robust pipeline of business and future revenues to accomplish our objectives to grow the value of our company. VIASPACE is at the leading edge of this industry and we are growing in global recognition and business momentum."

Sugaronline Editorial - South Africa’s New Gold: Sugarbeet By Meghan Sapp

Published: 07/14/2014, 10:30:00 AM

Sugarbeet has a whole new market...mine rehabilitation.

The world over is full of open mines, retired mines, former mines, illegal mines and tailings. They are an eyesore. Society needed the metal, the diamonds, and the coal, but then what? Superfund sites across the US attempt to deal with the aftermath, but the money runs out eventually. Some countries require mediation and end-of-life plans, but not all and typically not enough.It’s just dead land.But it doesn’t have to be. Not now.A small biogas company in South Africa has teamed up with one of the largest mining companies in the country to seriously tackle the issue of land rehabilitation and energy security all in one go. What began as an idea and then an enormously successful trial to grow sugarbeet—the temperate kind, not the tropical variety—has now been extended to include Giant King Grass too. The crops are grown on the super-fine mine tailings that nothing grows on, let alone food crops, bringing value back to the land and allowing Mother Nature to do her work cleaning up the land and returning it to an agricultural state just by growing beet and Giant King Grass.
...

And all in all, the first phase of this miracle project that ticks so many boxes has a payback period of less than four years. The first phase will see 70,767 GJ of fossil energy displaced, leading to a cost savings of ZAR12 million annually. Nearly 9,000 metric tonnes of carbon will be displaced and 11 permanent jobs will be created.When the entire project is implemented, 166,196 GJ of fossil energy per annum will be replaced, equaling a savings of ZAR23 million annually. Carbon savings will be more than 25,000 tonnes annually and more than 200 permanent jobs will be created. All by cleaning up mine land and employing sugarbeet to do the hard work.The full project is expected to produce roughly 6MW of energy with an overall investment of ZAR150 million that comes to less than five years payback on investment.
