CEONEWS.Tv and VSPC Chairman Discuss Business Dynamics and Recent Corporate Milestones
Before the opening bell, VIASPACE announced that Board Chairman, Dr. Kevin Schewe, interviewed with Charles Sample of CEONEWS.Tv regarding the bioenergy company’s corporate dynamics and recent corporate milestones to further the commercialization of its proprietary Giant King Grass bioenergy platform.
The following is a transcript of the interview. Those who wish to listen to the interview can do so at http://www.ceonews.tv.
Question 1: Kevin, please tell us about your company and who the principals are…
Answer: From its founding in 1998, Dr. Carl Kukkonen has led the VIASPACE team, serving as CEO of ViaSpace Technologies, LLC, the predecessor of VIASPACE, Incorporated, and serving as CEO today. Since 2008, Carl has been laying the foundation of where our proprietary Giant King Grass (GKG) fits into the emerging world of renewable biomass/bioenergy products. Laying this foundation has required research and development, rigorous and repeated testing of Giant King Grass by many reputable, independent laboratories and testing facilities, numerous speaking engagements at national and international conferences and finally, the commercialization of Giant King Grass in the real world to create a profitable business model. VIASPACE has made Giant King Grass well-known to the global renewable’s industries. Since the Spring of 2012, we have seen a definite surge in the global interest in our product, Giant King Grass, and customers now recognize our expertise to use Giant King Grass as the highest yielding biomass crop in the world. Bioelectricity, biogas production, biofuels, biochemical, bioplastics and biomaterials all need biomass as a feedstock and GKG is suitable for all these applications. VIASPACE provides GKG seedlings and technical expertise to qualified bioenergy projects that need a low-cost and reliable fuel or feedstock. VIASPACE will also serve as a project developer or co-developer for GKG-fueled power plants or pellet mill projects, together with local partners that have land and requirements for electricity, heat, pellets, biogas or biofuels. VIASPACE and its partners have the capability to deliver integrated GKG plantation and biomass power plant projects in 24 months. VIASPACE has financial models to support power plant and pellet mill projects.
I joined the VIASPACE Board of Directors in January of 2012 as the second largest investor in the company at that time. I am actually a Board Certified radiation oncologist in private practice and work as a cancer specialist and operate two cancer centers in Colorado in partnership with HealthONE, the Colorado Division of Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) which is the largest private operator of healthcare facilities in the world and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. I am also an entrepreneur and have developed a premium line of skin care and cosmetic products that help to heal, protect, repair and subsequently maintain not only the damaged skin of cancer patients, but also individuals who have experienced skin damage resulting from aging, dryness, UV exposure, other illnesses and environmental pollution. The products are manufactured by my company, Elite Therapeutics and our story can be seen on our website at www.elitetherapeutics.com. I became personally interested in VIASPACE and invested heavily in the company when it became focused in the green energy business sector. I was instrumental in helping VIASPACE split from a previous partner and become a free-standing bioenergy company on 10-01-12 and that is when I became Chairman of the Board of Directors. Carl is focused on expanding the world’s successful use of GKG as the leading bioenergy platform and I am focused on the business success of our company and growing shareholder value.
Question 2: What exactly is biomass?
Answer: Biomass is a fancy word for plant material. Biomass is low-carbon fuel or energy source that comes from plant material such as wood, sugar cane and grasses such as Giant King Grass. Biomass can be burned to generate electricity and heat, digested to produce bio-methane, and can also be converted into biofuels, biochemical and bioplastics. Biomass also includes byproducts such as agricultural waste, including corn straw (stover) and rice husks, and food waste, such as vegetable oil recycled from cooking processes. Since biomass comes primarily from plants and vegetation that naturally regrows and may come from everyday agricultural or industrial processes, biomass is a renewable resource.
Question 3: Why is biomass so important as a basis for energy production as opposed to fossil fuels or other sources of energy?
Answer: In contrast to fossil fuels, biomass from plants and vegetation is considered low-carbon or carbon-neutral. During their growing cycle, plants use photosynthesis to absorb and convert sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into nutrients and energy. When these plants are burned, for example in a power plant, carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is again absorbed during the next crop’s growth cycle. This repetitive cycle of absorption-release-absorption results in a carbon-neutral effect on the atmosphere. Since planting, harvesting and transportation equipment use petroleum-based fuel, and many fertilizers are also petroleum based, some carbon emissions occur with biomass. However, when grass crops are grown using sustainable methods, the amounts of carbon emissions are small, especially compared to the energy that will be produced by burning the biomass, and the result is very low carbon emissions, compared to burning coal or other fossil fuels.
Biomass is available in many areas throughout the world and can be cultivated or produced domestically, locally or regionally, with little or no logistical risk. In contrast, reserves of oil and natural gas are located in limited areas throughout the world and are a depleting resource. Of the leading energy alternatives to fossil fuels, biomass is the most cost-effective and practical, and therefore offers the most realistic and sustainable strategy. For example, solar and wind offer important advantage of zero fuel cost, but they have higher capital costs and much lower utilization rates because solar only produces electricity when it is sunny and wind when it is windy. The combination of high capital costs and low utilization leads to high electricity prices. Because of their transient nature and variability of weather conditions, solar and wind energy cannot be used as base power and are largely utilized in sophisticated grids where there are backup natural gas or coal powered plants that can take up load on cloudy or windless days. Biomass power plants can operate 24 hours a day and can be used as base power.
Biomass electricity is cost-effective and practical, and it offers a realistic and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Biomass is versatile and can be used to produce bio-methane to replace natural gas, liquid biofuels to replace gasoline and diesel fuel, and as a feedstock to produce biochemicals and bioplastics.
Question 4: The speed at which Giant King Grass matures as regrowth is astounding. What is the basis for this amazing increase in productivity in the second and succeeding years?
Answer: We at VIASPACE call Giant King Grass “the new biomass for green energy”. Giant King Grass is a very fast growing, high yield, hybrid grass that is neither genetically modified nor invasive. It grows in a variety of soil conditions and does not compete with food crops. Giant King Grass is perennial and it is a short rotation crop that can be harvested in the first year, compared to other crops that have much lower yields and cannot be harvested until their second, third or fourth year of growth. Regrowth is significantly faster than the initial harvest because the plant establishes an excellent root system. Once GKG has been established, it can be harvested at 3-5 feet tall for biogas production every 45 to 60 days. For other applications such as power plant fuel, pellets or biofuels, it is harvested at 13-16 feet tall every 150-180 days. This high rate of growth of GKG can provide a continual supply of biomass year-round. With competitive energy characteristics combined with multiple harvests per year, the energy output or energy yield of GKG per acre per year is much higher than other grasses. As a result, GKG cultivation offers material productivity benefits and therefore lower cost biomass for energy production, biofuels and biomaterials.

VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC) Helps Turn Coal Green
One of the biggest frustrations an increasingly energy-hungry but environmentally-conscious world faces is that coal, an abundant and economical source of energy, is also a major source of pollution. Nearly a third of the world’s energy use comes from coal, and almost half of the electrical energy generated in the U.S. is coal based. That’s because coal is found all over the world, with the U.S. holding the biggest recoverable coal deposits, followed by Russia and China.
Unlike oil, which the U.S. and most other countries must import, coal is often a localized resource, offering more control over energy and also providing local jobs. And coal is relatively cheap, less expensive than nuclear power or even natural gas. The problem, of course, is that coal, in spite of anti-pollution advancements, is still a big source of greenhouse gases, among other pollutants. In a world where governments are seeking solutions that offer both high energy and low carbon, Giant King Grass from VIASPACE could be coal’s best friend.
Giant King Grass (GKG), proprietary to VIASPACE, is an ultra-efficient dedicated energy crop. In fact, it is recognized as the highest yielding biomass crop in the world. It grows so fast, and on marginal lands as opposed to food crop lands, that it can be harvested multiple times each year. Rivaling even fossil fuels in cost effectiveness, GKG is already being planted in different parts of the world as a fuel to be used in nearby power plants. As an energy source, GKG’s key advantage is that is has a carbon footprint that approaches zero, because the crop absorbs as much carbon from the atmosphere when it is being grown as it releases when burned. It represents an efficient energy source that is clean, an ideal combination. In addition, as a simple combustible, it requires no special technologies or infrastructure.
But what may become its most appealing quality globally is that GKG can be compressed into concentrated pellets, shippable to anyplace in the world, where it can augment coal burning plants to significantly reduce pollution. With no significant modifications, coal burning plants can now progress down the carbon ladder, and do it economically.

Jakarta and King Grass (Pennisetum purpureophoides)
Reuters - Mon, January 21, 2013
Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskandar ensure PT Independent (Persero) has shifted its business from insurance companies and furniture manufacturing company into a focused expansion of farms and food (Independent Integrated Farming / BIFs).
"Self-reliance should focus on efforts to develop the beef, until no more furniture and insurance business which has digeluti enterprise," said Dahlan, as expressed in the Head of Public Relations and the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises Protokoler Faisal Halimi, in Jakarta on Monday.
According to Faisal, the planned removal Independent business since the middle of 2012 related to government programs reduce beef imports to meet domestic requirements.
Dahlan Iskandar on Monday morning (21/1), to identify the location pengengembanga Independent Integrated Farming in rural When River Ranch, District Pitu Riase, Sidrap regency, South Sulawesi.
In the area developed cattle breeding and agriculture integrated sorghum involving 400 breeders and 800 farmers.
Specific cultivation of sorghum developed in a land area of 3,200 hectares, 2,000 hectares of corn crops, King Grass (grass king) of 400 hectares
Sorghum in the Latin sorghum spp. is a versatile plant that can be used as a source of food, animal feed and industrial raw materials, while the King of Grass (Pennisetum purpureophoides) is a type of grass that has very wide leaves and beneficial for animal feed.
"Self-reliance Program Integrated Farming and grow sorghum crop, combine beef cattle and dairy cow, also as a result not only increase the meat, but also milk, and flour and sugar from sorghum," said Dahlan.
BIFs in Sidrap own expansion is a result of cooperation with the University of Hasanuddin, IPB, Gardening PT Nusantara (PTPN) 12 and PTPN 14.
Pencanangan integrated integration program has been running in East Sumba, NTT, where Independent work with PTPN IV sorghum planting 4,000 hectares of land.
Ideally cattle breeding using 1 ha to 1 ox tail, which also planted sorghum.
Each hectare of land produces 40 tons of sorghum feed cattle, and in a year can harvest up to three times, so as to enhance farm cow population in six to nine-fold.
According to records, sorghum has been grown and cultivated in a number of countries such as India, and is the fifth comestible sequence, after rice, maize, wheat, and barley. As for the other advantage is that it can be released sorghum into flour and sugar substitute. (Rr)

VIASPACE DISCUSSES GIANT KING GRASS AT BIOFUELS CONFERENCE IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA
07/07/2009
Tthe Quality$tocks Daily Blog:
Why VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) is a Top Biofuel Play
There have been a range of arguments against the viability of biofuels as a renewable energy source, but, as with so many other developing industries, the technologies change, creating a new picture of an old idea. In the case of biofuels, the big change is a remarkable plant called Giant King Grass (GKG), proprietary to VIASPACE, a California-based renewable energy company. GKG puts biofuels back on the front burner in a big way, ensuring VIASPACE a promising place in the world’s accelerating move to renewable energy.
Early ideas regarding biofuels centered around waste product combustion, the use of wood or agricultural byproducts that are normally discarded. It sounded reasonable, but problems with the approach soon became clear. Global markets for such waste products are seasonal and often unpredictable, leading to fluctuating cost factors that make it difficult or impossible to form financially sound operational plans. As a result, financing, a core component of any developing industry, becomes problematic. Dedicated biomass crops began to emerge as a better way to go, offering more stable costs and predictable economics. But then a question that had begun to develop with waste sourcing started to pick up steam. A growing resistance to the use of food-related waste or agricultural lands was becoming a major obstacle. With food supplies remaining a serious issue in much of the developing world, anything that might negatively affect already tight supply/demand economics is increasingly shunned.
Attention was turning to wind and solar, seen by some as more elegant energy sources, though the shortcomings of these alternatives have since also become important economic issues. The fact that the sun doesn’t shine all day, and the wind doesn’t always blow, began to expose the inadequacies of current energy storage technologies. Today there are dozens of elaborate proposals for storing energy generated by wind and solar, but all of them have notable limitations. In addition, besides requiring the development of more and better technologies, wind and solar, as well as various other energy sources, depend upon significant additional infrastructure, a costly burden in a rough global economy.
The reason VIASPACE’s Giant King Grass is being seen as a major new player is its uniquely effective way of addressing all of the above mentioned issues. Giant King Grass is the fastest growing, most cost-efficient energy crop available, yet is neither genetically modified nor invasive. It grows in a variety of soil conditions and does not compete with food crops, one of the standard arguments against biofuels. GKG is perennial and can be harvested several times per year. It is best grown in tropical and subtropical regions, where suitable land is plentiful, labor is inexpensive, and governments are actively seeking new industries that are both economically and environmentally friendly.
GKG is a hyper-efficient dedicated energy crop that has an almost zero carbon footprint, because it absorbs as much carbon dioxide as it releases when burned. From an economic standpoint it outshines virtually every other new renewable energy source, partly because it requires almost no new technologies or infrastructure. Using well-understood existing power plant technologies, GKG is a perfectly timed resource that generates energy exactly when needed, in any weather, day or night. As a result, it is attractive to governments all over the world, and is in fact already being started in various developing countries as well as in Hawaii where the cost of energy is high due to imported fuel. It creates local jobs while generating local and economical clean energy.
As if all this weren’t enough, GKG can be transformed for other uses. It can be compacted and pelletized for easy transport to remote power plants, and can also be chemically transformed into a variety of biofuels, biochemicals, and bio plastics. It can even be converted into bio-methane for use in heating, cooking, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel.
VIASPACE provides seedlings for their proprietary Giant King Grass, plus technical expertise to qualified bioenergy projects that need a low-cost and reliable fuel or feedstock, with a number of projects already underway. VIASPACE can also serve as a project developer or co-developer for power plant or pellet mill projects, together with local partners that have land and requirements for electricity, heat, pellets, biogas, or biofuels. VIASPACE and its partners have the capability to deliver an integrated Giant King Grass plantation and biomass power plant project in 24 months, and the company has financial models for power plants and pellet mills.

Why VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) is a Top Biofuel Play
There have been a range of arguments against the viability of biofuels as a renewable energy source, but, as with so many other developing industries, the technologies change, creating a new picture of an old idea. In the case of biofuels, the big change is a remarkable plant called Giant King Grass (GKG), proprietary to VIASPACE, a California-based renewable energy company. GKG puts biofuels back on the front burner in a big way, ensuring VIASPACE a promising place in the world’s accelerating move to renewable energy.
Early ideas regarding biofuels centered around waste product combustion, the use of wood or agricultural byproducts that are normally discarded. It sounded reasonable, but problems with the approach soon became clear. Global markets for such waste products are seasonal and often unpredictable, leading to fluctuating cost factors that make it difficult or impossible to form financially sound operational plans. As a result, financing, a core component of any developing industry, becomes problematic. Dedicated biomass crops began to emerge as a better way to go, offering more stable costs and predictable economics. But then a question that had begun to develop with waste sourcing started to pick up steam. A growing resistance to the use of food-related waste or agricultural lands was becoming a major obstacle. With food supplies remaining a serious issue in much of the developing world, anything that might negatively affect already tight supply/demand economics is increasingly shunned.
Attention was turning to wind and solar, seen by some as more elegant energy sources, though the shortcomings of these alternatives have since also become important economic issues. The fact that the sun doesn’t shine all day, and the wind doesn’t always blow, began to expose the inadequacies of current energy storage technologies. Today there are dozens of elaborate proposals for storing energy generated by wind and solar, but all of them have notable limitations. In addition, besides requiring the development of more and better technologies, wind and solar, as well as various other energy sources, depend upon significant additional infrastructure, a costly burden in a rough global economy.
The reason VIASPACE’s Giant King Grass is being seen as a major new player is its uniquely effective way of addressing all of the above mentioned issues. Giant King Grass is the fastest growing, most cost-efficient energy crop available, yet is neither genetically modified nor invasive. It grows in a variety of soil conditions and does not compete with food crops, one of the standard arguments against biofuels. GKG is perennial and can be harvested several times per year. It is best grown in tropical and subtropical regions, where suitable land is plentiful, labor is inexpensive, and governments are actively seeking new industries that are both economically and environmentally friendly.
GKG is a hyper-efficient dedicated energy crop that has an almost zero carbon footprint, because it absorbs as much carbon dioxide as it releases when burned. From an economic standpoint it outshines virtually every other new renewable energy source, partly because it requires almost no new technologies or infrastructure. Using well-understood existing power plant technologies, GKG is a perfectly timed resource that generates energy exactly when needed, in any weather, day or night. As a result, it is attractive to governments all over the world, and is in fact already being started in various developing countries as well as in Hawaii where the cost of energy is high due to imported fuel. It creates local jobs while generating local and economical clean energy.
As if all this weren’t enough, GKG can be transformed for other uses. It can be compacted and pelletized for easy transport to remote power plants, and can also be chemically transformed into a variety of biofuels, biochemicals, and bio plastics. It can even be converted into bio-methane for use in heating, cooking, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel.
VIASPACE provides seedlings for their proprietary Giant King Grass, plus technical expertise to qualified bioenergy projects that need a low-cost and reliable fuel or feedstock, with a number of projects already underway. VIASPACE can also serve as a project developer or co-developer for power plant or pellet mill projects, together with local partners that have land and requirements for electricity, heat, pellets, biogas, or biofuels. VIASPACE and its partners have the capability to deliver an integrated Giant King Grass plantation and biomass power plant project in 24 months, and the company has financial models for power plants and pellet mills.

NEWS ... NICRAGUA
VIASPACE Announces Contract With AGRICORP And Giant King Grass Growing In Nicaragua
WALNUT, Calif., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTCQB: VSPC)
today announced that it has entered into a contract with AGRICORP of Managua,
Nicaragua and is growing Giant King Grass on land owned by them. AGRICORP
shareholders and VIASPACE plan to co-develop a biomass electric power plant
fueled by Giant King Grass in Nicaragua.
AGRICORP is a subsidiary of Grain Hill which is a diversified agro-industrial
business group in the following food related businesses: agriculture-mainly
growing rice, food processing, mainly rice milling, and distribution of its own
12 brands of rice, and value added food products, and third-party brands. It
has revenues of $300 million per year with operations in Nicaragua, Costa
Rica and El Salvador. Grain Hill/AGRICORP is the largest rice company in
Nicaragua with 65% market share.
Giant King Grass is being grown on part of a 10,000 acre AGRICORP farm near
Lake Nicaragua. 6,000 acres of the farm are currently cultivated with rice and
irrigated with water from Lake Nicaragua. An AGRICORP rice mill is co-located on
the farm which would also be the site of the power plant. The rice mill produces
rice husk as waste which would also be used as a small portion of the biomass
fuel for the power plant. Pictures of the AGRICORP rice farm and the irrigation
for the Giant King Grass are shown on the VIASPACE Facebook page--
https://www.facebook.com/ViaspaceInc.
Grain Hill CEO and Board President, Amilcar Ybarra-Rojas stated, "We plan to
use our land and know-how in agriculture to bring reliable and sustainable
biomass electricity to Nicaragua. We will reduce our costs by generating
electricity for our own use, and sell the remainder to the grid which needs
additional reliable sources. Giant King Grass will be the primary fuel, but
will be supplemented by rice husk which is a byproduct of our rice milling
operations. The Giant King Grass plantation and power plant will create
additional employment which will enhance our community, and the project will
bring value to our diversified company."
Dr. Carl Kukkonen, VIASPACE CEO, reported, "AGRICORP is a perfect partner for
VIASPACE. They are very experienced in agriculture. On the rice farm where Giant
King Grass is growing, they have experienced staff including several
agronomists. They have an extensive suite of equipment including airplanes for
crop dusting, and plenty of irrigation from Lake Nicaragua to supplement natural
rainfall. We have been talking with AGRICORP since July 2011 and have a
confidentiality agreement with them. I have visited Nicaragua twice and a
VIASPACE agronomist was with me, and he went again to oversee the Giant King
Grass planting. In parallel with growing Giant King Grass, we will be working
together on the plans for the biomass power plant. VIASPACE is playing a leading
role in this development."
"Grain Hill/AGRICORP is a diversified company with a mandate for agricultural
innovation and sustainability. Renewable and sustainable biomass power has been
on our agenda for some time," stated Edgard Cuadra Chamorro, Strategic Business
Manager. "When we contacted VIASPACE, we realized that Giant King Grass would
present a unique opportunity for our company. I will be working closely with
VIASPACE on the power plant development."

Corner of Eyre & Hutson Streets
Belize City Belize
ENERGY CROPS
Perennial energy crops cultivated from species of trees and grasses can improve the soil quality and increase its organic content. Perennial energy crops need considerably less fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide than annual row crops. .
Grasses: Miscanthus is one of the most promising herbaceous energy crops. It produces high yields and can be harvested annually several years before replanting.
Currently Darlow is conducting a site evaluation of a micro-propagated species of grass, referred to as Giant King Grass or Bana Grass as it is sometimes called. This strain is cultivated under the same conditions as Miscanthus; however it has the potential to yield 100 tons per Hectare in the first year of cultivation.
