VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC) Presents Giant King Grass to Biogas Electricity Paper at International Biomass Conference
May 6th, 2013
Today it was reported that VIASPACE and Renew Energy of Svendborg, Denmark, presented a paper entitled “Giant King Grass to Biogas” at the International Biomass Conference held in Minneapolis Minnesota in April. The conference is the largest biomass event in North America.
Mr. Morten Jacobsen of Renew Energy made the presentation which is available on the VIASPACE website at www.VIASPACE.com, and a narrated version is available at https://vimeo.com/63390267. Renew Energy is a Danish engineering services company specializing in biogas plants and bio refineries integrated with ethanol plants, distilleries and other industrial plants. According to Mr. Jacobsen, the presentation went very well and there was a good response from the audience.
Renew Energy is providing engineering support for the Tibbar Energy 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant project on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, which will be fueled by Giant King Grass. The presentation describes the overall biogas system and uses the St. Croix, Tibbar Energy/VIASPACE project as an example. Renew Energy and VIASPACE are now working together to develop and support biogas projects fueled by Giant King Grass.
VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, “Our relationship with Renew Energy and the Tibbar Energy 7MW anaerobic digestion power plant fueled by our proprietary Giant King Grass on St. Croix are gaining global attention and we are grateful to Mr. Jacobsen for the excellent presentation that he recently made at the International Biomass Conference and Expo in Minneapolis. The Giant King Grass fueled power plant on St. Croix will be a superb, renewable, green energy model that can be replicated on any tropical island to provide electricity 24 hours per day. We are excited to be leading the way in that significant and important market segment.”
“Over the next several weeks, we will be announcing our progress in Nicaragua with Grain Hill/Agricorp, a project in Southeast Asia, and updates regarding our ongoing project in South Africa and our status with Giant King Grass in Hawaii,” Dr. Schewe continued. “I have recently spoken to our Director of Communications, Dr. Jan Vandersande, and to several VIASPACE shareholders regarding questions about the Company’s status of current and future revenues. My answers are consistent. We became a stand-alone Company effective October 1, 2012, and our current revenues come from initial project development of Giant King Grass test plots in the various countries of our customers. Our future revenues will come from our recurring licensing fees as Giant King Grass is continually harvested at our project sites and used in actual applications (EG: Tibbar Energy/St. Croix) as well as from the sale of electricity in projects that we expect to have an equity interest in the power plant (EG: Agricorp/Nicaragua). Our business model is structured to create significant and recurring green energy revenues as a global company and generate profits for our shareholders.”

VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC) Touts Wide Range of Green Energy Applications for Proprietary Giant King Grass
When you’re talking grass, the last thing that comes to mind is energy. But for VIASPACE, grass is big business, quite literally, in the energy industry.
VIASPACE markets proprietary Giant King™ Grass, appropriately named as it easily grows in 16 feet tall stalks. This is a high-yield renewable energy crop that can serve as an alternative to coal and fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel. The grass is natural, not genetically modified in any way.
Giant King Grass is recognized as the highest yielding biomass crop on the planet. Its list of applications for bioenergy projects is equally as impressive: bio-electricity, biogas, biofuels, biochemical, bio plastics, and biomass all require biomass as a feedstock.
For transportation and logistical purposes, Giant King Grass is dried, made into a powder, and pressed into pellets about the thickness of a pencil and one inch in length. This allows for easier and cheaper bulk shipping and handling.
Once in pellet form, Giant King Grass can be co-fired with coal in existing power plants, reducing the plants carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent without compromising quality of energy.
Working with local partners, power plants, and pellet mill projects, VIASPACE has the capability to deliver an integrated Giant King Grass plantation and biomass power plant in two years.
Under an existing contract with Nicaragua-based Grain Hill subsidiary AGRICORP, VIASPACE is growing Giant King Grass on land owned by the company and recently agreed to form a partnership to build a 12 MW biomass power plant fueled by Giant King Grass.

How we can make WAPA cheaper, cleaner
Published: April 30, 2013
We have all been there. You have ignored the problems for some time but there is really no way around it: Black smoke is coming out of the exhaust - you are burning oil - the gearbox is giving you trouble, new brakes would be nice and those old shocks are giving you a rough ride. Your mechanic says he can keep you running for another couple of years for cheap, even mumbles about converting the old guzzler to propane.
In the meantime you are thinking, "new car!" Maybe even one of those hybrids that'll give you 10 times the mileage. It'll certainly improve your standing in the neighborhood, where there are too many jokes about the noise and the smell from your old exhaust.
But can you trust this new technology? Will the bank lend you the money? You will get nothing for the old clunker. You may even have to pay to have it disposed of.
As you may have guessed, this really isn't about your car, but just like your old stink pot, our beloved WAPA is due for some serious considerations.
Who's to blame?
Back in 2002, Gov. Charles Turnbull introduced us to Southern Energy in an attempt to privatize WAPA, a move that was dead on arrival after Sen. Alicia "Chucky" Hansen and Sen. Adelbert "Bert" Bryant put Southern through the wringer.
Since then, no leadership has had the courage to rock the boat.
Before we dig deeper, ask yourself a fundamental question: Why do we have a power utility at all? A central power-generating facility supposed to make it easier and cheaper for everybody to have electricity, but now with WAPA charging 51 cents per kilowatt hour (kw), it is easy to understand why WAPA's customers, big and small, are looking for ways to supply their own electricity.
This has resulted in an estimated 10 percent reduction in WAPA's revenue, and another 5 percent in the making. This is putting the squeeze on the remaining customers who mainly are the ones that least can afford it.
Where's the courage?
As of today, there is no sign that Government House will attempt another "Turnbull" after having wasted millions trying to introduce petroleum coke (Alpine's pet coke project) to the territory, but in the Senate it's another story.
With lots of new blood voted in and a Senate president and vice president who know their stuff, the 30th Legislature is shaping up to become something we haven't seen for a long time: A well-functioning and well-disciplined body of law makers.
After a messy cleanup - needed from all the way back to Sen. David Jones and further exacerbated by Sen. Ronald Russell - Sen. Shawn-Michael Malone together with Sen. Sammuel Sanes and Sen. Craig Barshinger are now poised to tackle the elephant in the room that everyone pretends not to see: WAPA.
In other words, a serious debate about the future of WAPA is about to begin soon.
Any plan involving a relocation of the Richmond plant and/or outsourcing of the power generation part of WAPA will be met with strong skepticism and objection from WAPA, some senators and administration officials. Therefore it is important that those who come forward supporting these drastic changes are ready to be grilled and have facts and figures to support their testimony.
May I politely suggest that the Senate form a close relationship with our Delegate to Congress Donna Christensen? She is knowledgeable about the issue and is a true believer in clean energy, and any decision made down here will eventually need the blessing and financial help of the federal government.
And who knows, maybe we can save on the cost of a consultant or two.
May I also suggest that the Senate early on form a coalition strong enough to overrule any objection to WAPA changes and, if necessary, prepare to make the issue a referendum in the next election.
This is not the time to highlight our limitations.
Instead, we should go for the ideal plan and then work backwards to find ways to implement it.
Wind and solar
Can St. Croix rely on wind and solar for 100 percent of their consumption? The answer is yes - just not all the time. But before we get to that, a few observations on these two alternative sources of power: Our house on the South Shore has run entirely on wind and solar for the last 14 years. During that time we had 2 hurricanes, one of which caused considerable damage to our solar arrays, and we have had ample time to experiment with various blade configurations for our tilt-down wind turbines.
One thing that became very clear is that wind and solar are like apples and oranges.
For example, our 10KW wind turbine is fitted out with extra-long blades to compensate for the high average temperatures in the Virgin Islands. These enable it to generate maximum power in 15 mph wind Compare that with the average output of a 10KW solar array. The result will surprise many of you: On a day with only a moderate breeze ,the turbine easily makes 160 kilowatts while the 10KW solar will produce only 35 or 40 kilowatts.
On a yearly average, wind beats solar two to one.
There is more maintenance needed in wind, power but when it comes to shouldering a hurricane, it is easier to secure one large 1MW turbine compared to 5,000 200 Watt solar panels!
How to do it
So what is the ideal solution for a brand new, built from- scratch generating plant serving St. Croix, using proven technology and with room for expansion? Grid stability is alpha and omega in any grid configuration. WAPA Executive Director Hugo Hodge is having nervous jitters over the prospect of adding wind to the planned photo voltaic installations, and rightly so. WAPA's outdated Richmond plant cannot handle the additional unstable load unless this problem is taken care of.
The following components are all equally important parts of a solution that will allow St. Croix to be supplied with close to 100 percent alternative clean energy.
To get grid stability we must know supply and demand of power in real time. That is done by giving each customer and each power-providing gadget an IP address. That information will be sent directly through the power lines to a fully automated computer center which determines what generators must be added or taken off line to stay on par with demand.
Net metering customers will see fewer restrictions and will be able to sell back power to the grid at reduced rate.
New plan, new plant
The center of it all is the new power plant on the South Shore.
A dozen 5 megawatt flex fuel generators will be able to provide full backup in the unlikely event of all alternative power sources fail.
A large wind farm next to the power plant is the system's primary power producer. Industrial-size storing units are available to store enough power to allow any number of generators to come on line and make up for the slack if the wind drops. They work like giant capacitors and help keeping voltage and frequency steady.
There will be times where wind, big solar and net metering customers produce more power than is needed. Instead of wasting this power, it will be directed to the RO (reverse osmoses) plant also located on the premises. This water can, if needed, be used to irrigate the Giant King Grass cultivated on the wind farm premises, ultimately to be converted to fuel for power-generating purposes.
(Giant King Grass is a fast-growing perennial grass for the production of liquid biofuels for transportation, and as a renewable replacement for coal as the heat source in electricity-generating power plants.)
We do not want to be guinea pigs, nor do we need to be. What we need has already been tested and is available.
G.E.'s latest wind turbine, the 2.5 - 120 comes with power storage. Aeronautica, an all American company, specializes in providing packages to small isolated grids, like ours. They use tried-and-tested components in their setups.
With the right number of grid buffers, there is no reason why we cannot reduce our use of fossil fuels - be it natural gas or diesel - by up to 90 percent, and if we add in King Grass, 100 percent is not out of the question.
The world around us seems to be in perpetual crisis.
It is obviously in the best interest of our territory to rely as little as possible on imported basic essentials. Revamping WAPA is a giant step in that direction, and starting with St Croix makes sense.

7 MW Power Purchase Agreement Nearly Finalized in St. Croix
Giant King Grass Growing Well
WALNUT, Calif., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTCQB: VSPC) today provided an update on the Tibbar Energy 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant project on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. As reported by the St. Croix Source on April 19, 2013, Mr. Hugo Hodge, executive director of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA), stated that the authority was nearing a purchase agreement with Tibbar Energy, a proposed biomass electricity company on St. Croix. Hodge said that, in a few years, St. Croix will have 10 MW of electricity coming from industrial solar, 5 MW from net metering and 7 MW from Tibbar, for a total of 22 MW being produced by alternative sources. He estimated that at peak consumption, the St. Croix grid only needed 45 MW. That means the WAPA power plant would only need to supply an additional 23 MW.
Tibbar is continuing to plant its Giant King(TM) Grass nurseries, and plans to create a 1000+ acre plantation to fuel the 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant. It is testing irrigation options and large scale planting procedures. "We have started to develop an impressive farming operation in preparation of our finalized power purchase agreement (PPA)" said Tibbar CEO Tania Tomyn. "We have purchased tractors and additional equipment. We are proud of our new farm staff and they are integral to the progress so far."
Tomyn continued, "As WAPA stated in the St. Croix Source article, there is a lot of work that goes into balancing Tibbar's base load power with WAPA's. Tibbar will be unlike intermittent wind and solar as we will produce continuous dispatchable power 24/7. Our computer system will be tied to WAPA's and will use the latest technology to efficiently work together."
Tibbar is also continuing its public education and awareness program on a variety of levels. For example, on April 17(th) and 18(th) , Tibbar sponsored and presented at the St. Croix Earth Day Eco-Fair. According to Tibbar CEO Tania Tomyn and Farm Manager Bob Peets, "We educated hundreds of children from dozens of St. Croix schools about renewable energy. Tibbar was the major sponsor and we had a fantastic turn out teaching children about Giant King Grass and why bio-energy crops are part of our future."
VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, "Giant King Grass is growing incredibly well in St. Croix and our partnership with Tibbar Energy is progressing nicely. The planned 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant using Giant King Grass to create continuous, eco-friendly, carbon neutral, green electricity on St. Croix is already demonstrating intangible benefits of educating children about the merits of renewable green energy and has attracted tourists interested in green energy. We believe that using Giant King Grass as a continuously renewable biomass/bioenergy platform is the perfect green solution for the energy needs of tropical island nations and our partnership with Tibbar Energy can prove this concept on St. Croix in the very near future. This project paves the way for other island economies to model similar green electricity projects using Giant King Grass. Every day at VIASPACE, we grow more excited about our future corporate role and place in the evolution of economically viable and successful green energy production."

Tibbar is continuing to plant its Giant King(TM) Grass nurseries, and plans to create a 1000+ acre plantation to fuel the 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant. It is testing irrigation options and large scale planting procedures. "We have started to develop an impressive farming operation in preparation of our finalized power purchase agreement (PPA)" said Tibbar CEO Tania Tomyn. "We have purchased tractors and additional equipment. We are proud of our new farm staff and they are integral to the progress so far."
Tomyn continued, "As WAPA stated in the St. Croix Source article, there is a lot of work that goes into balancing Tibbar's base load power with WAPA's. Tibbar will be unlike intermittent wind and solar as we will produce continuous dispatchable power 24/7. Our computer system will be tied to WAPA's and will use the latest technology to efficiently work together."
Tibbar is also continuing its public education and awareness program on a variety of levels. For example, on April 17(th) and 18(th) , Tibbar sponsored and presented at the St. Croix Earth Day Eco-Fair. According to Tibbar CEO Tania Tomyn and Farm Manager Bob Peets, "We educated hundreds of children from dozens of St. Croix schools about renewable energy. Tibbar was the major sponsor and we had a fantastic turn out teaching children about Giant King Grass and why bio-energy crops are part of our future."
VIASPACE Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, commented, "Giant King Grass is growing incredibly well in St. Croix and our partnership with Tibbar Energy is progressing nicely. The planned 7 MW anaerobic digestion power plant using Giant King Grass to create continuous, eco-friendly, carbon neutral, green electricity on St. Croix is already demonstrating intangible benefits of educating children about the merits of renewable green energy and has attracted tourists interested in green energy. We believe that using Giant King Grass as a continuously renewable biomass/bioenergy platform is the perfect green solution for the energy needs of tropical island nations and our partnership with Tibbar Energy can prove this concept on St. Croix in the very near future. This project paves the way for other island economies to model similar green electricity projects using Giant King Grass. Every day at VIASPACE, we grow more excited about our future corporate role and place in the evolution of economically viable and successful green energy production."

COMBINED BIOGAS AND ETHANOL PLANT
- Optimal utilization of residual products
RENEW ENERGY’s biorefinery ensures stability to traditional ethanol plants from the threats of large fluctuations in energy expenses.
A traditional ethanol plant puts strain on the local environment and gross energy balance. Green energy is produced for the transport sector, however, large amounts of fossil fuel are used for the production. The environmental strain on the environment will be greatly reduced if the ethanol plant is combined with RENEW ENERGY’s biogas/separation plant: the water is reused, the plant produces energy for its own consumption, and the plant recovers the nutrients which are reused as fertilizers in the agricultural sector.
RENEW ENERGY’s biorefinery utilizes the residual products from the distillation as “feedstock” in the biogas plant – it produces sufficient biogas for its own consumption of power, steam and heat.
The net environmental benefit from combining the two plants will be many times greater and the use of fossil fuels can be avoided. In addition to the advantage of the integrated concept excess power can be sold to the grid as “green or renewable energy”.
Advantages of RENEW ENERGY’s biorefinery in combination with ethanol plants:
◦Energy efficient new ethanol plants
◦Improved retrofit or expansion of existing ethanol plants, or where the ownership or management wishes to optimize the operating economy, and the improvement of environmental issues
◦Improvement of existing distilleries through energy savings and reduced environmental issues
