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. "

'Pocket Science': New Mobile Application Enables DNA Analysis On The Go - SH/A*STAR/BII/ACNNW, SINGAPORE - May 29, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/05/29/pocket-sci…

"Researchers from A*STAR's Bioinformatics Institute (BII) have developed the first mobile application for Android phones that analyses ab1(1) DNA sequencing files, which enables science professionals and amateur enthusiasts to engage in scientific analysis on the go, from the convenience of their mobile phones.

DNA sequencing is a commonly used technique which has advanced many areas of biological research, from the understanding of genetic information to the causes and treatment of human diseases. However, analysis of DNA sequencing files used to be carried out only on computers. This frustrated Dr Samuel KE Gan, molecular cell biologist and team leader of Antibody & Product Development (APD) Laboratory, when he wanted to work when travelling. He presented the challenge to his computer science research officer Mr Nguyen Phi Vu, to find a better way to read data on the move. What resulted was the "DNAApp", developed in just three months, which allowed him to read and analyse DNA sequencing files on his mobile phone.

Dr Gan's team published the app freely on Google Play store and Apple app store for scientists worldwide so that they too can improve their efficiency and productivity. Since its launch in early April, "DNAApp" has been downloaded more than 300 times by users from more than 11 different countries.

"DNAApp" enables the visualisation and analysis of DNA sequencing files simply with the use of any iOS or Android mobile device. The application lets users assess the quality of DNA sequences and carries out commonly used functions of DNA sequencing analysis, such as reverse complementation, translation, and the ability to search for specific sequences. The latter function is important for researchers who want to locate specific segments in their sequences to identify regions of biological relevance.

Also available for the iOS platform, this native application(2) is faster and more efficient, tapping on the convenience of mobile devices to raise productivity in the lab. The "DNAApp" can work without internet access, and is designed to adapt to the smaller sizes and sensitivity of touch-screen devices. "DNAApp" has features that aid analysis such as the ability to search, swipe or "jump to" a specific section of a sequence and the incorporation of fast and end-scrolling icons. These allow the application to complement existing web-based bioinformatics tools for deeper analysis.

"We are excited to see that 'DNAApp' has proven to be a useful tool for the busy scientist. As the use of mobile devices and their applications become increasingly widespread, we hope to continue to be at the forefront of technology - creating new bioinformatics tools for the advancement of scientific knowledge and making science accessible," said Dr Gan.

Besides the research on antibodies and viral mutations, the laboratory plans to continue developing mobile applications that aid analysis in molecular and microbiology. Like the "DNAApp", these applications will raise productivity in the laboratories and have the added potential to be used as educational tools.

Dr Frank Eisenhaber, Executive Director at BII, said "Thanks to the initiative of Dr. Samuel Gan, the new DNAApp software developed for smart-phones adds an exciting new dimension in the DNA sequence analysis software field. For the first time, a mobile phone application is productive for certain aspects of sequencing data studies. At BII, we will continue to develop creative ideas for useful and efficient tools and techniques in computational biology for applications in the life science field."

(1) ab1 files are data files belonging to the Applied Biosystems Genetic Analysis data file format, and are specific to DNA sequencing. Such files require specific programs that understand their raw data and can represent it as a chromatogram, or visual representation of a sequenced DNA sample.
(2) Native applications are applications that are developed for use on a particular platform. In this case, two versions of DNAApp were created - for the Android and IOS platforms.

Putin "plant EU-Gegenprojekt", Ex Sowjetrepubliken gründen Eurasische Wirtschaftsunion" - W/DPA/R, ASTANA - May 29, 2014
http://web.de/magazine/finanzen/wirtschaft/18988114-ex-sowje…

"Es handele sich um ein neues Modell der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit im postsowjetischen Raum, sagte der kasachische Staatspräsident Nursultan Nasarbajew in der Hauptstadt Astana. Die Organisation lasse die staatliche Unabhängigkeit der Mitgliedsstaaten allerdings unberührt, betonte Nasarbajew.

Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte nach Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion sieht sich vor allem Russland im Westen Vorwürfen ausgesetzt, frühere Staaten der UdSSR erneut in einen Verbund unter Vormachtstellung Moskaus zwingen zu wollen. Der Kreml weist das zurück. Es gehe darum, den freien Verkehr von Waren, Dienstleistungen, Kapital und Arbeitskräften zu ermöglichen, betont die russische Führung.

Kremlchef Wladimir Putin, Nasarbajew und der weißrussische Präsident Alexander Lukaschenko unterzeichneten in Astana den 700 Seiten dicken Vertrag. Die Eurasische Wirtschaftsunion nimmt demnach als internationale Organisation zum 1. Januar 2015 ihre Arbeit auf. Ziele seien auch die Schaffung eines gemeinsamen Finanzmarktes und eine Integration der Energiemärkte. Putin betonte, dass die Union etwa ein Fünftel der weltweiten Gasreserven sowie 15 Prozent der Öllagerstätten kontrolliere.

An der Idee für diese Union werde seit 20 Jahren gearbeitet, sagte Nasarbajew bei der im russischen Staatsfernsehen übertragenen Gründungszeremonie. Der weißrussische Präsident Lukaschenko wies ausdrücklich zurück, dass es hier um die Wiederauferstehung der Sowjetunion gehe. "Das ist ein Freundschaftsbund", sagte er.

Die Union habe eine "historische Bedeutung", betonte Putin. Besiegelt worden sei die Kooperation in der Energiewirtschaft, der Industrie, der Landwirtschaft und im Verkehrswesen. Die drei Staaten sind bereits durch eine Zollunion verbunden.

Auch die früheren Sowjetrepubliken Armenien und Kirgistan sollen in nächster Zeit als Mitglieder aufgenommen werden. Die Staaten arbeiten allesamt zudem in der nach Ende der Sowjetunion gebildeten Gemeinschaft Unabhängiger Staaten (GUS) zusammen. "

Google "pushes for driverless cars" - SH/TCP - May 30, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/bulletins/2014/05/30/google-goog-pus…

"Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG, Stock Forum) is pushing hard to bring cars driven by computers _ not people _ to market. To do so, the Silicon Valley giant first had to persuade states including California to pass laws legalizing the still-emerging technology. After all, a basic premise of driving is that a person controls the vehicle.

Though California's rules will go into effect in June 2015, barriers remain to the widespread availability of the cars of the future, whether made by Google or traditional automakers.


REGULATORY

California's Department of Motor Vehicles has until the end of the year to finalize rules for the public's use of driverless cars (there is a 180-day lag between then and when a car might be permitted to hit the road). That's plenty of time for regulators to include requirements that manufacturers consider onerous, and thus delay the debut of a driverless car. Safety is a paramount concern. How does the DMV know that a car's computers can't be commandeered by a hacker? More fundamentally, how does the DMV know that the car drives safely under a range of conditions?


BUSINESS

This week, Google said it plans to make 100 prototype driverless cars without steering wheels or pedals, and hopes to let select Californians use them once they have been tested for safety. But those cars have just two seats and max out at 25 mph. It's unlikely that Google will start mass producing full-sized driverless cars, at least not any time soon. While major automakers are accelerating the development of self-driving technology, none has publicly discussed the release of a fully driverless car before 2020.


TECHNOLOGICAL

So far, Google has taken Toyota Priuses and Lexus SUVs and outfitted them with cameras, radar and laser sensors, and computers _ all to see and react to other cars, pedestrians and bicyclists. Those vehicles have driven more than 700,000 miles. In April, Google said they are starting to master the complications of city streets (initially, Google sent them along freeways, which are more orderly and thus easier for the cars to navigate).

But they are far from perfect. Google isn't fully confident they can drive themselves in rain or fog _ and they've never driven in snow. They don't turn right on red. And they only can go on roads or freeways that Google has charted in far greater detail than the maps found on its public site. "

Grid storage solutions " "could" soon become 'multibillion-dollar industry' " - MW, TORONTO - May 29, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/grid-storage-solutions-to-becom…

"The burgeoning North American grid energy storage market could develop into a multibillion-dollar industry in a matter of a few years, with several companies positioning themselves to vie for the handful of first-mover clients.

One company potentially leading the fray is Vancouver-based American Vanadium, which has aspirations to become North America’s first vanadium redox flow energy storage system provider, with a whole supply chain and manufacturing capabilities to back it up.

It also owns the only economically viable vanadium deposit in North America, the Gibellini vanadium project, located in Nevada, which is being designed to economically produce vanadium electrolyte for the energy storage industry, as well as vanadium products for the steel and alloying industries.

China produces about 55% of the world’s vanadium and consumes about 45% of the total. With China producing more higher-grade steel similar to standards in Europe and the US, demand for vanadium has risen by about 40%.


NASCENT MARKET

Talking to Mining Weekly Online in Toronto, American Vanadium president and CEO Bill Radvak said that the company had come a long way from focusing on being a vanadium pure-play, to change tack and embrace the much larger idea of becoming a fully integrated renewable-energy storage system provider.

Radvak remembers that when he first took over the reins of the company about four years ago, his first investor presentations included only two slides pertaining to the future potential demand driver of vanadium flow batteries and the then nascent grid power storage market.

However, things started changing about three years ago, more or less at the same time the finance window closed. Radvak, who has a background in the biotech industry, said that with the downturn in the global market and sagging prices for vanadium, the company started exploring ways to add value to their vanadium before selling it and stumbled upon the vanadium flow market.

The market for grid energy storage solutions is slowly developing. Radvak said that during the early years of renewable-energy market development, the ‘Holy Grail’, which is energy storage, was overlooked.

“You cannot have renewable-energy sources without incorporating energy storage solutions into the equation. Renewables have a peak generation capacity and then at other times generate nothing. It is during these times that energy storage solutions will keep the lights on.

“It was completely underestimated in the past,” he said.

He also noted that New York state, California and Ontario were significant potential first movers in installing vanadium flow batteries for grid balancing and he expected that large contracts were expected to be awarded “soon”.

Radvak said California had mandated three utilities to put 1.3 GWh of storage capacity in place over the next ten years, while Long Island, New York, had put out a request for proposals (RFP) for 130 GWh and Ontario, in Canada, had put out a RFP for 130 GWh of storage capacity.


PHASED APPROACH

American Vanadium last year became the master sales agent in North America for the CellCube systems, which are manufactured by Gildemeister, in Germany.

Radvak said that American Vanadium was now ideally positioned to take advantage of this burgeoning market, having strategically partnered with an original-equipment manufacturer, which had already installed 65 redox-flow grid storage systems in Europe.

Gildemeister’s trump card is the CellCube battery, the world’s only commercially available vanadium flow battery, providing long duration solutions over a 20-plus year life, for a broad range of applications including renewable-energy integration and demand charge reduction. Gildemeister had proven CellCube to be a powerful, durable and reliable energy storage system that ensures a clean, emission-free energy supply at all times.

Radvak revealed that American Vanadium’s ultimate goal is to reach a position of having several revenue streams. Its strategy is to first focus on tendering and selling the first grid storage solutions to clients in North America before the end of the year, which would be followed next year by building the company’s vanadium electrolyte plant.

Following that, American Vanadium would construct a US-based vanadium redox-flow battery manufacturing facility to eliminate imports from Germany.

“The critical thing is that all of our operations would be underpinned by vanadium output from our Gibellini project, which would strategically be the fourth layer to our future revenue portfolio,” Radvak noted.

He stressed that the company was not in a rush to develop the deposit, as it intends to mostly use the vanadium for its vertically integrated energy storage solution supply chain, once it is up and running.

“This market is in its infancy. It has the potential to become a multibillion-dollar industry in a very short time, and the most exciting part of this is that we are the frontrunners to supply tried and tested solutions.

“As the dream grows, so the potential funding opportunities become more realistic. There seems to be overwhelming investor interest in this new market,” he said.

Radvak notes that the Gibellini project is unique in that it is fully oxidised, resulting in a zero-to-one strip ratio, with the ore being simply heap leached. The company would only need to construct a plant to purify the vanadium electrolyte from the heap leach, resulting in an extremely low-cost project.

The project is completely drilled-up, with compliant reserves and resources able to sustain a mine life of about ten years, with further exploration upside.

There is significant upside to the vanadium price, albeit relatively volatile. In 2006 and 2009, for instance, the price shot up by more than 400%.


TRIAL INSTALLATIONS

Radvak said that American Vanadium was working hard to seal the first commercial deal before the end of the year. He noted that despite there being clear pointers to a growing awareness and demand for grid storage solutions, the market is probably waiting for the results from two trial installations.

Last month, the company unveiled high-profile plans to demonstrate the CellCube system in partnership with the New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in New York. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the New York city Transit Office of Strategic Innovation and Technology will host this demonstration at the MTA’s Energy Star-certified facility at 2 Broadway, in New York city.

Power utility ConEdison and the Advanced Research Technology Centre at Stony Brook University would also support this effort.

This proof-of-concept effort would be implemented at a cost of $1.2-million, which is being funded by American Vanadium (about $700 000) and supported by NYSERDA (about $500 000) under the NYSERDA Advanced Buildings Technology Development Programme.

In February, American Vanadium announced that the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) would evaluate and demonstrate the CellCube vanadium redox flow energy storage system at its state-of-the-art testing facility in Golden, Colorado.

After the demonstration of the energy storage system at NREL's facility, the CellCube would be sold to a US utility. "

"A breakthrough in drilling technology could slash costs by 85 per cent and help find much needed new mineral discoveries.

It's been unveiled by the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre DETCRC which is a collaboration with the CSIRO, the Federal Government and several mining companies.

Only 20 per cent of Australia has been explored and the deposits found have been relatively close to the surface.

The rest of it is deep down, known as 'under cover', and that's what the 'coiled tubing rig' will look for.

The DET CRC chief executive, Professor Richard Hillis, says the technology, which should be brought to market within a few years, could reduce drilling costs, from $400 a metre to $50 a metre.

"Over the last decade, long term contracted metre rate drilling costs, especially in remote greenfield projects, have risen globally by an average of 15 per cent a year with diamond drilling rising 10 per cent and reverse circulation drilling costs have gone up 40 per cent.

"Despite more costly exploration, there's been very little satisfactory return over the last decade.

"We've seen few, and generally smaller discoveries, and declining grades of ores such as gold and copper.

"Maintaining that status quo will not deliver new deposits of the size and grade, required for the ever increasing global demand for metals."

Instead of drill rods that are up to five metres long and have to be screwed on and off the coil tubing rig uses a continuous, poly-metalic 'tube'.

"The coiled tubing rig will be smaller than conventional rigs, and it also feature real-time assay and evaluation of ore samples." "

Egyptian stock market takes hard dive on new capital gains tax reports - SH, CAIRO - May 30, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/newswire/2014/06/01/egyptian-stock-m…

"Egypt's stock market witnessed a sharp plunge Sunday that forced a temporary suspension of trading after reports of a newly proposed government tax on capital gains which experts said was hardly explained to investors.

The half-hour suspension on the first day of the trading week at the Egyptian Exchange failed to cool a frenzy of selling by investors. The EGX30 benchmark index closed 4.22 per cent lower, or at 7,894.73 points, continuing its slide after trading was suspended after the broader EGX100 index fell by 5 per cent.

Egyptian Finance Minister Hany Kadry Dimian announced the new tax on capital gains Thursday, fuelling the market slide. He said the government will impose a 10-per cent tax on net realized portfolio profits at the end of the year. Stock market profits are currently tax-free.

Wael Ziada, the head of research at EFG Hermes, one of the Middle East's largest investment banks, said the proposed law wasn't clearly explained or discussed, causing the ``extreme reaction'' in the market.

``A lot of brokerage firms had no response to their clients'' on how the law will be imposed, when it will take effect or how to calculate the tax, he said. ``This is a case of total chaos.''

Ziada said the gains from such a tax don't justify the ``damage'' that occurred in the market because it will be a challenge to collect it. The Exchange said in a statement Sunday the law has been sent to the interim president for approval.

``In my view, until we see the law and if this is the way decisions will be taken going forward, there will be damages,'' Ziada said.

A dozen Egyptian investors gathered outside the exchange Sunday to protest the law.

``We came here to protest those random decisions by the government,'' said Aly Youssef, one of the investors. ``Investors have lost huge amounts due to those random decisions.''

The sharp drop also followed Egypt's presidential election last week, which saw retired army chief Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who led the July military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, reportedly trounce his only competitor. Official results are expected in the coming days.

``Following Egypt's elections, we expected a positive impact on the stock exchange. We predicted that benchmark will exceed the 9,000-point mark but the proposed draft tax ... had a negative impact on the benchmark,'' said Amir Youssef, a stock exchange broker.

The current interim government and el-Sissi have said tough measures will be taken in the coming months to reduce a crippling budget deficit, internal debts and ease unemployment, officially estimated at 13 per cent. That likely will include new taxes and cuts to huge state subsidies on energy and food, though details have yet to be announced.

Egypt's Cabinet also has drafted a new budget, with the deficit continuing to hover at around 12 per cent. The proposed budget has a 10 per cent increase in public expenditures from the current financial year budget of $115 billion.

Oil-rich Gulf countries have injected about $20 billion in aid, small grants and fuel products into the Egyptian economy following Morsi's ouster. The new budget, with the financial year beginning in July, features only $2.4 billion in Arab aid until August, the government statement said. "

Electric Airplane Debut Offers Hopes, for Cutting Emissions - CT/YE360/A/SA - May 30, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/05/30/electric-airplane-debut-o…
www.scientificamerican.com/article/impossible-electric-airpl…

"The aircraft manufacturing giant Airbus recently unveiled a fully-electric airplane which, if widely adopted, could reduce the aerospace industry’s carbon dioxide emissions by an order of magnitude.

The E-Fan aircraft has two, 30-kilowatt electric motors powered by a series of lithium-ion batteries in the wings of the plane, as well as a 6-kilowatt electric motor in the wheel to provide extra power during takeoff and taxiing. Despite incorporating highly energy-efficient and aerodynamic design elements, however, the E-Fan has only a one-hour range and cannot leave the vicinity of the airport.

Airbus says that future designs will rely on electric-hybrid engine technology and that by 2050 such airplanes should be able to accommodate 70 to 80 passengers on a three-hour flight. The plans were spurred, in part, by the European Union’s Flight Path 2050, which aims to reduce the aviation sector’s nitrous oxide emissions by 90 percent, noise pollution by 65 percent, and carbon dioxide emissions by 75 percent by 2050. “It’s a very different way of flying,” said Jean Botti, a technology officer at Airbus Group, “absolutely no noise, no emissions.” "

USA planen 'CO2-Revolution', Regierung will den Ausstoß der Treibhausgase drastisch senken - DPA, WASHINGTON - Jun 2, 2014
http://web.de/magazine/nachrichten/ausland/18996848-usa-regi…

"Im Kampf gegen den weltweiten Klimawandel will US-Präsident Barack Obama die heimischen Kraftwerke dazu verpflichten, deutlich weniger Kohlendioxid auszustoßen.

Bis 2030 sollen sie ihre Emissionen um 30 Prozent gegenüber 2005 verringern. Dies sieht ein am Montag veröffentlichter Verordnungsentwurf der Umweltbehörde EPA vor.

Obama warnte, der Klimawandel sei real. "Er hat nicht nur Auswirkungen auf die ferne Zukunft, sondern ernsthafte Auswirkungen während wir sprechen", sagte er in einem Telefonat mit Vertretern mehrerer Gesundheitsorganisationen. Kraftwerke seien heute verantwortlich für 40 Prozent der CO2-Emissionen.

Die Verordnung soll Medienberichten zufolge in rund einem Jahr in Kraft treten. Umweltschützer lobten den Plan als historischen Schritt. Die Republikaner und Vertreter der Industrie kündigten Widerstand an.

Der Plan für "Saubere Energie" beschränkt laut EPA erstmals auf nationaler Ebene die Emission von Treibhausgasen, die Kraftwerke in die Luft pusten. Demnach dürfen aber die einzelnen Bundesstaaten selbst entscheiden, mit welchen Maßnahmen sie das Ziel erreichen. Möglich sind etwa effizienzsteigernde Umbauten bestehender Anlagen oder der vermehrte Einsatz von Wind- oder Solaranlagen zur Energiegewinnung. Auch ein Handel mit Emissionsrechten ist erlaubt. Ihre Planungen müssten die Staaten demnach bis Juni 2016 bei der EPA einreichen. Die USA sind nach China das Land mit dem zweitgrößten CO2-Ausstoß.

EPA-Chefin Gina McCarthy sagte: "Indem er sauberere Energiequellen stärkt und Energieverschwendung verringert, wird dieser Plan die Luft, die wir atmen, säubern und dabei helfen, den Klimawandel zu verlangsamen." Stromkraftwerke seien für rund ein Drittel des CO2-Ausstoßes in den USA verantwortlich. Auch die Emission anderer Giftstoffe werde durch das Vorhaben deutlich reduziert.

Nach Einschätzung der "New York Times" handelt es sich um eine der weitgehendsten Maßnahmen einer US-Regierung gegen den Klimawandel überhaupt. Sie könnte letztlich zur Schließung Hunderter Kohlekraftwerke und in den kommenden Jahrzehnten zu einer Wende in der Energiegewinnung führen, schrieb das Blatt unter Berufung auf Experten.

Obama hatte bereits im vergangenen Jahr angekündigt, entsprechende Regeln erarbeiten zu lassen. Er braucht dafür nicht die Zustimmung des Kongresses.

Die Republikaner reagierten dennoch prompt mit Widerspruch. Die verschärften Regeln seien "ein Dolchstoß ins Herz der Mittelschicht", sagte der Parteichef im US-Senat, Mitch McConnell. Die drohenden Schäden für die Konjunktur seien groß und die wirtschaftliche Macht der USA in Gefahr.

John Boehner, der republikanische Vorsitzende im Repräsentantenhaus, nannte die Klimaschutzpläne von Präsident Barack Obama verrückt. "Es gibt wirklich keinen passenderen Weg, es zu beschreiben.

"Die Regierung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Kohle und die damit verbundenen 800 000 Stellen zu vernichten", sagte Senator Mike Enzi aus Wyoming laut dem Politikportal "Politico". Sollte dieser "Tod durch Regulierung" Realität werden, werde Strom in Zukunft knapp und teuer, meinte der Senator.

UN-Generalsekretär Ban Ki Moon begrüßte hingegen den Vorstoß. Die geplanten Maßnahmen seien ein "bedeutender Schritt" hin zur globalen Reduzierung des Kohlendioxid-Ausstoßes, sagte Ban laut Mitteilung der Vereinten Nationen in New York. Ban rief alle Länder der Welt erneut auf, ihre Anstrengungen im Kampf gegen die Erderwärmung ebenfalls zu verstärken.

Mit den neuen Maßnahmen könnten die USA ihre 2009 zugesagten Ziele erreichen, den Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen im Land bis 2020 um 17 Prozent unter das Niveau von 2005 zu senken, meinen Experten. "Es ist der größte Schritt, den unser Land jemals getan hat, um gegen die Bedrohung des Klimawandels vorzugehen", sagte der Präsident der Washingtoner Umweltschutzgruppe EDF, Fred Krupp, in einer Mitteilung.

Obama wollte die Emissionen ursprünglich durch ein Klimagesetz begrenzen, hat dafür aber keine Mehrheit im Kongress. Stattdessen versucht er, seine Ziele mit Präsidenten-Erlassen zu erreichen. Grundlage ist ein Gesetz gegen Luftverschmutzung von 1970. "

Publication in British Journal of Dermatology Validates the 'Breakthrough Nevisense System', as an Accurate Device for Melanoma Detection - MW, STOCKHOLM - Jun 2, 2014
www.marketwired.com/press-release/publication-british-journa…

"SciBase AB, a leader in skin cancer detection technology, today announced the British Journal of Dermatology publication of a multi-centre international study for its unique point-of-care device, Nevisense. The results from the world's largest study of its kind show that Nevisense provides an accurate and important new tool for the detection of malignant melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer. Nevisense has already attracted widespread interest amongst dermatologists as the first non-visual melanoma detection system, using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to objectively analyze lesions with suspicion of melanoma. SciBase believes the results of this eagerly anticipated study will lead to its widespread use in the often challenging process to accurately detect melanoma.

The multi-centre, prospective and blinded study was conducted at 5 US and 17 European investigational sites. A total of 1,951 subjects with 2,416 lesions were enrolled into the study; 1,943 lesions including 265 malignant melanomas were eligible and evaluable for the primary efficacy endpoint. Nevisense achieved a sensitivity of 97% with a specificity of 34% and the observed sensitivity for non-melanoma skin cancer was 100%.

Simon Grant, CEO SciBase, commented, "We are extremely excited about the results of this groundbreaking study. Detection of melanoma poses a challenge, especially in its earlier and most treatable stages. The study reflected this by evaluating the standalone performance of dermoscopy and histopathology, which showed sensitivities of 71% and 85% respectively. This confirms that Nevisense can detect melanomas potentially misdiagnosed using todays visual methods. The overall study results strongly indicate that Nevisense will improve the clinicians ability to detect melanoma in its earlier stages and thereby potentially save lives."

Editor's Notes

About Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, accounting for nearly half of all cancers. It has been estimated that nearly half of all Americans who live to age 65 will develop skin cancer at least once. Malignant melanoma is the most fatal form of skin cancer causing the majority (75%) of deaths related to skin cancer. Worldwide, doctors diagnose about 160,000 new cases of melanoma yearly.


About Nevisense

Nevisense is a point-of-care device that has emerged from more than 20 years of academic research at both Karolinska Institutet Stockholm and SciBase. The device is designed to be used when a clinician chooses to obtain additional information when evaluating lesions with a suspicion of melanoma. Nevisense is based on a technology called Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which uses the varying electrical properties of human tissue to categorize cellular structures and thereby detect malignancies. The CE-marked system consists of an electrode on a hand-held probe connected to a small portable device performing the analysis and displaying the result.

A video describing the Nevisense method is available on: www.scibase.se/en/the-nevisense-product


About SciBase

SciBase is a Swedish medical technology company founded in 1998 that has developed Nevisense, a device for the accurate detection of malignant melanoma. SciBase is actively marketing Nevisense in Germany, Australia and Nordic markets and will soon be providing it in further markets. A regulatory process for gaining approval on the US market is underway.

Grasshopper swarm, so big it showed up on weather radar - SH/UPI, ALBUQUERQUE - Jun 2, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/06/02/grasshoppe…

"Grasshopper swarms in Albuquerque have been so big they're showing up on a weather radar, confusing local meteorologists.

"Albuquerque has not seen these levels of grasshoppers since the early-mid 1990s," said John R. Garlisch, extension agent at Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service.

The air is so thick with bugs, they're appearing like rain on the weather radar, ABC News reported.

"We have actually been noticing the insects on radar since about Memorial Day," said NWS spokesman David Craft. "We have noticed the greatest impact on the radar during the evening, but they are noticeable at other times of the day, too."

"It is a nuisance to people because they fly into people's faces while walking, running, and biking. They are hopping into people's homes and garages, they splatter the windshield and car grill while driving, and they will eat people's plants," Garlisch added.

This is the worst grasshopper infestation the region has seen in 20 years. Officials are blaming it on a drought.

"There wasn't enough winter to kill the egg pots. Because of the dry winter the eggs survived, hence the outbreak of grasshoppers," David B. Richman, professor emeritus at the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Weed Science, New Mexico State University said. "

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.”

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.

Based on our current understanding of the deposit, we believe that Amaam North has the potential to significantly increase the scale of our coking coal resources in the region"; In the 1st half of ´12 TIG will conduct field reconnaissance +preliminary coal quality analysis to confirm the geological interpretation of the deposit in order to short-list target areas for drilling with the intention of delineating an initial JORC compliant resource - Jan 19, 2012

+ New 478km2 tenement increases total land holding in highly prospective Bering Coal Basin to 709km2

+ The Amaam North +Amaam deposits are located within separate structural blocks of the Bering Coal Basin. The Bering Coal Basin covers an area of ~7.500km2 +extends from north of Beringovsky(Nargornaya mine) to the southern coast line. The primary coal host sequence @Amaam North +Amaam is the Middle Chukchi Formation of Palaeogene age.

+ The coal formation @Amaam North is synclinal in structure with longitudinal +cross cutting faults, moderate dips @the margins, flatter dips along the axis. Mapping of the deposit has identified multiple coal exposures, 30 of which are >2m true seam thickness. Based on outcrop sampling, cumulative coal thicknesses are expected to be similar to Amaam.

+ Available information indicates the coal @North Amaam is a high volatile A bituminous coal based on the ASTM classification standard.

Tigers Realm Coal - Positive Amaam Nth Project F Pre-Feasibility Study Completed, "confirms low capital +operating cost, open pit coking coal mine @Amaam North" - Sep 2, 2013

"Highlights:"

+ Pre-feasibility Study(PFS) on Project F @Amaam North "demonstrates outstanding project economics", from a core starter project, with a shortened timeframe to 1st production.

+ Project F will produce over 1.000.000t/a of primarily coking coal product from a low strip ratio(5:1) open pit, over an initial 11 year mine life.

+ Project F "has the "potential" to become one of the lowest operating cost, export coking coal mines in the world " , with an average FOB cash cost of US$75/t of saleable product.

+ The capital cost to "initial" production is "estimated" @US$52.000.000.

+ The PFS "confirms strong project economics". Using a coking coal price of US$150/tonne +a 10% real discount rate, the project has an after- tax net present value(NPV ) of US $ 177.000.000 +an internal rate of return(IRR ) of 37%. Payback is <2 years.

+ The Bankable Feasibility Study(BFS) continues +TIG is funded for this work –the BFS will be completed by Q1 `14, as scheduled. " "Strong interest" in funding Project F has been received".

+ Ongoing work programs will "assess "options" to further enhance project value". These include expanding the open pit Resources, through further drilling on the largely unexplored Amaam North licence, assessing the "potential" for underground mining of the thick seams below the Project F open pit +optimising PFS outcomes.

+ TIG’s "plans" "for becoming a large scale +leading coking producer from Amaam +Amaam North are further strengthened by the strong economics of Project F." Project F is set to become the core starter mine, which will then support the expansion of production, from the main 6.000.000t/a Amaam Project +Amaam North. ...

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

Tomato skins turned into car parts? Ford(F) +Heinz(HNZPP) think it's possible - SH/TCP, PITTSBURG - Jun 12, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/bulletins/2014/06/11/tomato-skins-tu…
www.automobil-produktion.de/2014/06/getrocknete-tomatenhaut-…

"Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F, Stock Forum) and the H.J. Heinz Co. (OTCQB:HNZPP, Stock Forum), the Pittsburgh-based ketchup maker are teaming up on research to turn tomato skins into auto parts.

According to a joint news release, scientists at both companies believe they can use tomato fibres to manufacture composite materials used for wiring brackets, or storage bins in cars instead of petroleum-based plastics.

Ford says it began working with Heinz, The Coca-Cola Company, Nike Inc. and Procter & Gamble to speed up attempts to create a ``a 100 per cent plant-based plastic to be used to make everything from fabric to packaging.''

Meanwhile, Heinz was looking to recycle the leftover parts of the nearly two million tonnes of tomatoes Heinz uses to make ketchup each year.

The companies say the technology has been validated, but still needs to be refined. "

"Next week they’ll be celebrating in San Francisco. The first batch of artemisinin, produced on the basis of sugar, is ready. In 2013, 35 tons, enough for 100 million doses, will be produced. Every year, 200 million people contract malaria and 650,000 of them die from the disease. The artemisinin produced using this method has a great chance of contributing to the eradication of malaria. Since it is produced by microbes, using sugar as its raw material, and the inventors agreed to provide the intellectual property free of charge, it is very inexpensive. But that’s not the only reason to celebrate. The scientific study that describes the details of this technological feat has just been published in the journal Nature.

It all began in 2003. Four scientists working at the University of California, Berkeley picked a socially relevant problem so they could demonstrate the power of the new synthetic biology techniques they were developing. They chose artemisinin, one of the most potent antimalarial drugs known.

Artemisinin was discovered in the plant Artemisia annua (commonly known as sweet wormwood), which grows in China, but has never been used on a large scale. It is difficult to produce by chemical synthesis. Up to now the limited amount of artemisinin available is extracted from the tree that grows in several countries. The bottom line is that production is unstable and the price is high. The objective was to transplant all the genes needed to synthesize this compound into a simple organism that could produce a lot of artemisinin, using a very inexpensive compound as food.

The organism selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used to produce beer and ethanol. This yeast converts the sugarcane juice into ethanol. The study consisted of producing a variety of this yeast capable of converting sugar into artemisinin.

In order to carry out the project, an innovative agreement was signed with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation would fund project development under one condition: the company would have to provide intellectual property rights free of charge over the final product in order to ensure that it would get into the hands of patients at the lowest cost possible. In exchange, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation allowed the company to maintain sole ownership of the technology generated by the project, which it could then use to develop commercial products.

Between 2004 and 2008, the company discovered how the tree produced artemisinin, isolated the genes that produced the molecule and placed those genes in a yeast strain. Over 17 genes were isolated, modified and combined in the new host. Thus, the entire assembly line of the artemisinin molecule was transferred to the yeast and it began to produce the artemisinic acid. This artemisinic acid “factory” set up inside a living organism then had to be optimized to ensure that most of the sugar utilized was converted into artemisinic acid.

By 2008, the strain was ready. More than 50 scientists had worked on the project over the course of five years at a cost of over $30 million and the project had not yet ended. An industrial scale production method developed to purify the artemisinic acid was standardized and a less expensive way to convert the artemisinic acid to artemisinin was discovered. These final steps were taken together with a pharmaceutical company. By the end of 2012, everything was finished. The first batch was produced and the scientific study describing the technology was published in the journal Nature.

But the story does not end here. Perhaps you’ve seen a number of buses circulating in São Paulo with the following words: EcoFrota – Movido a Diesel de Cana, literally, EcoFleet – Powered by Sugarcane Diesel. The diesel fuel that moves these buses is produced in Brotas, in central São Paulo State.

The recently opened factory is able to convert the juice from one million tons of sugarcane into diesel fuel and other chemical products.

In operation since January, this factory produces diesel fuel by using a strain of Saccharomyces engineered with the technology used to produce artemisinin. "

Amyris +Total, "one of the largest integrated oil +gas companies in the world", Announce Successful Demonstration Flight With Renewable Jet Fuel , During Paris Air Show; 1st Demonstration Flight in Europe on Airbus Aircraft "Underscores Partners' Commitment, to Achieving ASTM Certification" - Jun 19, 2013
www.amyris.com/News/312/Amyris-and-Total-Announce-Successful…

"PARIS, June 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS) and Total (Paris:TOTF) announced today a successful demonstration flight at the Paris Air Show using a breakthrough technology that converts plant sugars into renewable jet fuel.

The Airbus A321 aircraft powered by two Snecma CFM56 jet engines flew from Toulouse to Paris with a blend of renewable jet fuel produced by Amyris and Total. This demonstration flight was in support of the French Initiative for Future Aviation Fuels, which seeks to produce and commercialize alternative, renewable and sustainable aviation fuels in France in the coming years. This was the second public demonstration flight with the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel. In June 2012, an Embraer E195 jet flew with the renewable jet fuel produced from sugarcane in Brazil.

"This is a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Total for biofuels. From developing the world's leading synthetic biology platform to producing and distributing renewable products globally, the Amyris-Total collaboration demonstrates the power of partnerships to drive innovation and deliver sustainable products," said John Melo, President & CEO of Amyris. "Today's flight is another step closer in achieving ASTM certification, which paves the way for the commercialization of our renewable jet fuel," Melo concluded.

"The air transport sector has an ambitious target: drastically reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 while commercial flights and demand for jet fuel will steadily grow. To that end, biofuels will play an important role along with improved aircraft energy efficiency. This demonstration flight illustrates the capacity of Amyris and Total to integrate, as of today, aeronautical biofuels in a concrete and reliable way," said Philippe Boisseau, President, Marketing & Services and New Energies and a member of the Executive Committee of Total. "As one of the world's biggest suppliers of aviation fuel, Total aims at widely offering this solution to airline customers. We are confident that we will be able to achieve this within the coming years."


About the Renewable Jet Fuel

The Amyris-Total renewable fuel was produced using engineered microorganisms that convert plant sugars into Biofene®, Amyris's brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched hydrocarbon. In December 2012, Amyris began commercial production of Biofene at its industrial-scale production facility in southeastern Brazil. Amyris uses Brazilian sugarcane due to its availability, competitive cost, and the local industry's ability to meet international sustainability standards.

In addition to supporting the aviation industry's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel is designed to be compliant with Jet A/A-1 fuel specifications and outperform conventional petroleum-derived fuel in a range of performance metrics, including fit for purpose and greenhouse gas emission reduction, while maintaining performance quality. Amyris and Total expect the fuel to be commercially available as early as 2014, following approval by the ASTM International, the world's leading fuel standard setting body.

Renewable Energy Storage Solutions 'Go Grid Scale' - CT/3BLM - Jun 13, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/06/13/renewable-energy-storage-…

"The adoption of renewable energy on a large scale by utilities has been on hold, waiting for a breakthrough to solve the biggest problem for large-scale use: how to store energy produced by wind and solar power for those times when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine? Without the ability to store excess energy from variable renewable generators during peak production times, utilities have been unable to deploy them on a commercial, financially viable scale. Grid-sized batteries have been tried, but they are expensive and have a short life span.

Now, two new companies have come up with distinct innovations that might resolve this energy storage issue. SustainX uses a patented foamy material to maintain an even temperature for compressed-air storage of renewable energy. LightSail has developed water-cooled compressed air storage systems.

In a sign that these technologies may be answers to solving the renewable energy storage problem, the companies have attracted significant support. SustainX has received $43 million from the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation, as well as funds from venture capital firms Polaris Partners and RockPort. LightSail has raised $42 million from Bill Gates and other investors. So promising are these tech innovations that the industry’s revenue is projected to rise from $37 million last year to $1.6 billion by 2016. That’s a powerful bottom line argument for power sourced from renewable energy. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Trans-Tasman Resources "Completes Major Consenting Milestone" - Nov 8, 2013
www.ttrl.co.nz/media/media-releases/trans-tasman-resources-c…

"The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has accepted Trans-Tasman Resources Limited’s (TTR) application for marine consents to extract iron sands in the South Taranaki Bight. The application is among the first projects to be considered under the new EEZ and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) legislation.

“We are very pleased that the EPA has accepted our application and the public submission process can begin shortly,” said TTR Chief Executive, Tim Crossley. “This is a significant milestone for TTR”.

On 21 October 2013 TTR lodged its application to extract iron sands within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

The application is for a project area of 65.76 km2 approximately 22-36 km off the coast of Patea, in water depths of 20-45 m. TTR proposes to extract up to 50 million tonnes of sediment per year and process the sediment aboard a floating processing storage and offloading vessel (FPSO). Around 5 million tonnes of iron ore concentrate will be exported. The remaining sediment will be re-deposited on the seafloor in a controlled manner, usually backfilling previous mined areas.

The EEZ legislation requires the EPA decision makers to consider the effects of the proposal on the environment and on existing interests as well as the economic benefit of the project to New Zealand.

“Since 2009, TTR has spent approximately $8 million on a detailed baseline study programme and modelling of the potential environmental effects using New Zealand and international experts. Based on that research we have substantially refined our extraction and processing methodologies. Our engineering team is working hard to reduce the environmental footprint of the project such as reducing the sediment plume and improving fuel use. That being said the Impact Assessment details the ‘worst-case’ scenarios.”

The scientific reports and the Impact Assessment conclude that the project will not adversely affect the nearshore and coastal environment including public access and surfing.

There are likely to visual effects in the immediate vicinity of the extraction area, primarily relating to sediment dispersion in the water column, but these effects will dissipate nearer to the shore. No rare or vulnerable ecosystems or habitats of threatened species, including Maui’s dolphin, have been identified as being potentially affected by the TTR Project.

“We are confident that the high energy environment of the South Taranaki Bight combined with a relative shallow water depth and our proposed extraction methodology, which will only affect a small area at any one time, means the effects of the project will be relatively short lived enabling recolonisation over a timeframe of around 6 months to 2 years,” Mr Crossley explained.

If consented, the project will provide substantial economic benefits to New Zealand and Taranaki. Independent analysis from NZIER suggests the TTR project will contribute approximately $302 million to national GDP, and TTR will pay around $54 million in taxes and royalties, each year.

Approximately 200 personnel will be required to operate the offshore vessels with approximately a further 50 staff being required in support, engineering, administration, environmental and other contracting roles.

“We are also investigating establishing a community trust to ensure that the local communities of South Taranaki benefit from the Project,” said Mr Crossley.


Next steps

Now that the application has been accepted as complete the EPA will notify existing interests, iwi, and the general public. The EPA will publish TTR’s application, Impact Assessment and supporting scientific reports on the EPA website.

The public submission process will begin after notification in the coming weeks. The public can outline their particular concerns with the project so that the EPA’s decision makers can assess those concerns against TTR’s evidence.

Ahead of the submissions process, TTR will hold an information session in Hawera on Wednesday 20 November. TTR staff and advisors will be on hand to answer any questions.

“We are excited to hold another information session. These expo style sessions give the community the chance to learn about all aspects of the project, including potential effects and benefits in a relaxed environment,” said Mr Crossley.


About TTR

TTR is a privately-owned New Zealand company headquartered in Wellington. It was established in 2007 to explore, assess and develop the potential of the rich offshore iron ore deposits off Taranaki and the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

TTR has spent more than $50 million on exploration to understand the resource, engineering, marketing, studying the existing physical and ecological environment and identifying potential impacts to develop an iron sands extraction project which balances realising economic development whist protecting the environment.

TTR has identified an economically developable mining area and technology to extract the iron sand in a safe and environmentally world class manner to supply international markets with a reliable supply of low-cost iron ore.

In July 2013 TTR submitted a mining permit application for the project. New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals is assessing that application for technical data on the proposed resource, geology, work programme, as well as TTR’s ability to manage the project, and health and safety.

Once the project receives all of the necessary consents and permits TTR plans to commence commercial production of iron sands in the beginning of 2016.

"Trans-Tasman Resources Limited (TTR) is pleased to announce that it has successfully secured and received US$ 11.2 million in funding.

“We are delighted to secure this funding which will enable TTR to progress engineering, project funding and consenting work streams,” TTR Chief Executive, Tim Crossley says.

The funding comes from existing shareholders and new local investment and is a demonstration of a vote of confidence in the project by both new and existing investors.

TTR is working with international dredging specialists, IHC Merwede, as well as engineers from Beca, Fitzroy Engineering, WorleyParsons, Brightwater Engineering and DRA to design the integrated mining and processing system for TTR’s South Taranaki iron sands mining project.


TTR releases updated Mineral Resource Statement

TTR is also pleased to release its updated Mineral Resource Statement. The updated Resource Statement provided by TTR’s geology consultant, Golder Associates, has significantly improved TTR’s geological confidence in the iron ore resource. TTR’s total Indicated Mineral Resource[1] has increased from 1.7 billion[2] tonnes to over 2.6 billion tonnes. Over 97% of the 65.76 km2 mining area is now an Indicated Resource, compared with 57% previously.

The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared and classified in accordance with the JORC[3] Code, 2012. The JORC “Indicated” class reflects a higher level of confidence than the “Inferred” class. The estimate provides additional geo-metallurgical parameters to deliver a higher degree of accuracy for mine scheduling and provides the basis of design for the process plant.

Mr Crossley said that “achieving this latest Resource Statement from Golder Associates caps off a busy and successful year for TTR.

“We have drilled 116 shallow and 12 deep drill holes, applied for a mining permit and environmental marine consents, and we have completed a pre-feasibility study. The additional funding and Mineral Resource Statement underpins our ability to progress the project definitive feasibility study.”

"Who is TTR?

Trans-Tasman Resources Limited (TTR) is a private New Zealand company that was established in 2007 to explore the North Island’s west coast iron sand deposits. TTR is headquartered in Wellington New Zealand and is funded by New Zealand and international investment. TTR holds a Continental Shelf Act prospecting licence in the exclusive economic zone in the South Taranaki Bight and a Crown Minerals exploration permit offshore between Oeo and Patea. TTR also has applied for subsequent offshore exploration permits under the Crown Minerals Act for iron sands between Patea and Santoft, and between the Waikato River and Awakino on the west coast of the North Island. In July 2013 TTR applied for mining permit 55581 for the South Taranaki Bight Project.

Since inception TTR has spent more than $50 million on exploration to understand the resource, engineering, marketing, studying the existing physical and ecological environment and identifying potential impacts to develop an iron sands extraction project which balances realising economic development and protecting the environment. Based on this scientific information TTR has identified an economically developable mining area; assessed the surrounding environment and proposed technology to extract the iron sand in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner.


Project Overview

What is the South Taranaki Bight Iron Sands Project?

The TTR Project involves the excavation of up to 50 million tonnes per year of seabed material, the beneficiation of the iron ore on a Floating Processing Storage and Offloading Vessel (FPSO) and then exporting the iron ore concentrate to international markets.

Around 10% of the extracted material will be processed into iron ore concentrate for export, with residual material (approximately 45 million tonnes per year) returned to the seabed as de-ored sediment via a controlled discharge at depth below the FPSO. Most of the de-ored sediment will be returned as backfill into previously extracted areas.

Iron ore concentrate from the FPSO will be slurried to the floating, storage and offloading vessel (FSO) where it will be de-watered and stored ready for transfer to bulk carrier vessels for export to world markets. Transfer will take place near the Project area, although during adverse weather situations, transfer will take place in a sheltered location in the general South Taranaki Bight or nearby.

The Project area is 65.76 km2 and is located between 22-36 km offshore from the coast of Patea and in water depths between 20-42 m. This is within New Zealand’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the environmental effects are governed by the new Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 2012 (EEZ Act), rather than the Resource Management Act 1991. TTR has applied for a 20 year mining permit (55581) for the project area, and has applied for marine consents for the same area under the EEZ Act.

For a summary of the project see
www.ttrl.co.nz/assets/Downloads/TTR-Project-Summary-24-October.pdf.


How will the sediment be extracted?

Seabed material will be excavated using a subsea sediment extraction device (referred to as a “Crawler”) which pumps the sand by a slurry delivery pipe to the FPSO where it will be processed to separate out the iron ore.

The Crawler operates on the seafloor. Its suction head pumps seawater via nozzles to the extraction face to fluidise the sediment, and pumps the sediment into the delivery pipe which delivers the sediment to the FPSO for processing.

The Crawler operates in 300 m x 300 m blocks, extracting a “lane”. The FPSO will winch itself up and down each lane along with the Crawler, re-depositing de-ored sand as it goes, usually backfilling previously mined lanes. This happens very slowly at a rate of around 70 m/hour.

The Crawler will extract sand to the full depth of the economic ore deposit (from the seabed to as deep as 11 metres depending on resource distribution) during each extraction sequence. This ability to mine the full depth of the sediment down to the economic base minimises the area of seabed affected at any one time.


How is the iron ore separated?

“Beneficiation” is the term given to the extraction of iron ore from the source material and concentration to a commercial grade. TTR’s beneficiation process separates the titano-magnetite using a combination of conventional screening, magnetic separation and grinding, to produce a product with a target mass yield in the order of 10% from the raw sediment. Initial screening will remove material greater than 2 mm in size, as this material has been shown to contain no titano-magnetite.

The process does not involve the use of any additional chemicals or the use of heat.


Where else has similar seabed mining been undertaken?

De Beers use similar crawler technology to recover diamonds off the Namibian coast using a vessel called “Peace in Africa” but in water considerably deeper than where TTR is planning. TTR is proposing an enhanced de-ored sand disposal method in comparison with De Beers operation.

TTR’s operation is basically a shallow water dredging operation similar to those carried out worldwide by many companies. In particular, IHC Merwede, TTR’s technology partner has decades of experience in projects of a similar scale to TTR’s operation.


Is this deep sea mining?

No, the TTR project is located in relatively shallow water (between 20 and 45 m deep). Environmental information gathering and monitoring in the shallower waters is much easier and thus is more comprehensive. Since 2009 TTR has spent approximately $8 million collecting baseline data and researching the existing environment and potential effects on the South Taranaki Bight. When TTR’s application is notified, TTR will have added to the existing knowledge about benthic (seafloor) organisms in the South Taranaki Bight, collecting data from video and still camera transects at 144 sites, samples at 116 sites and cores at 103 sites. Based on this extensive research undertaken by TTR, and previous research in the South Taranaki Bight, NIWA has concluded that there are no sensitive environments, unusual species or vulnerable species in the area. This research has also assisted the experts to understand and predict the potential impacts.

A key difference is in recolonisation rates. In TTR’s shallow water it is expected species will repopulate relatively quickly due to both the proximity to light (which provides energy for food sources), that the substrate won’t be appreciably altered by TTR’s mining and a consequence of the organisms being adapted to a “disrupted” environment (storms etc.). In deep water ecosystems, the environment is very stable and so the organisms do not have a biological need to repopulate quickly and due to low light levels growth rates are low hence recolonisation takes a longer time.


Potential Environmental Effects

How does TTR know what the effects will be?

TTR has selected NZ’s leading independent consultancies, supported in critical areas by overseas experts, to investigate the current environmental conditions and advise on the potential effects. The methodology adopted by these consultants is based around accepted international best practice. In addition, TTR has had major technical reports peer reviewed by independent external experts.

Since 2009 TTR has spent over $8 million collecting baseline data and researching the existing environment and potential effects on the South Taranaki Bight. This research has included collecting metrological ocean (met ocean) data on currents, waves, winds, beach profiles and sediment movement at various sites in the South Taranaki Bight from June 2011 – April 2012. When TTR’s application is notified, TTR will have also added to the existing knowledge about benthic (seafloor) organisms in the South Taranaki Bight, collecting data from video and still camera transects at 144 sites, dredges at 116 sites and cores at 103 sites.

This extensive data set has enhanced the collective knowledge of the South Taranaki Bight and assisted TTR’s experts to understand and predict the potential impacts. This information will soon be in the public domain.

For a summary of these effects see TTR’s Website
www.ttrl.co.nz/assets/Downloads/TTR-Project-Summary-24-October.pdf.


What is the environment in the South Taranaki Bight?

The seabed within the TTR extraction and re-deposition area is considered to be a dynamic and high energy environment. This environment is continually being disturbed by the prevailing waves, currents and moderately frequent storm events. Populations of organisms living within this environment must be either fully mobile or, if not, capable of rapid recolonisation following disturbance. The main sessile (immobile) species that are present in the TTR extraction and re-deposition area are such opportunists, frequently among the first organisms to re-colonise a disturbed area.

The biological communities present within the TTR extraction and re-deposition area have limited biodiversity and are dominated by short lived, opportunistic tube worm species such as sabellid and paraonid polychaete worms. The absence of long-lived organisms is indicative of a highly disturbed environment.


How long will it to take to recolonise the site?

The high energy environment combined with a relatively shallow water depth (20-45 m), and TTR’s proposed extraction methodology, which will only affect a minimal seabed area at any one time, means the effects of the project will be relatively short lived enabling the rapid re-establishment of the pre-existing flora and fauna.

International experience suggests that after an initial disturbance to seabeds similar to the South Taranaki Bight, “pioneering” organisms, such as small, tube-dwelling polychaetes worms and small bivalves colonise the surficial sediments. TTR’s extraction area is currently dominated by early successional species such as the polychaete Euchone sp (tube worms). These opportunistic species occur in relatively high abundances and low diversity. These characteristics will facilitate recolonisation over a timeframe of around 6 months to 2 years.


What impact will the project have on recreational fishing and diving in the South Taranaki Bight?

Evidence suggests there is very little recreational fishing activity in the immediate vicinity of the extraction area, being so far offshore, and so a navigational safety buffer around the extraction area is unlikely to have any effects at the regional level.

Adverse effects to recreation and tourism are likely to be localised to the immediate vicinity of the extraction area. These effects relate to the navigational buffer zones around TTR’s vessels, local turbidity effects (up to 10 km from the site) and short-term effects on habitat in recently mined seafloor. There are unlikely to be any noticeable effects in inshore recreational settings.


What impact is the project expected to have on commercial fishing?

It is expected that there will be minimal or no negative impacts from TTR’s operations on existing commercial fishing rights with regard to quota value, downstream businesses, or fish stock sustainability as a consequence of TTR’s operations, in particular in respect of spatial displacement. TTR plans to work with commercial fishers in the region to develop conditions of consent to ensure TTR’s proposed operations do not adversely impact on existing commercial fishing rights.


What is the likely effect on marine mammals in the area, including Maui’s dolphin and blue whales?

The project area is not a recognised habitat for marine mammals. Based on sightings and habitat modelling, Maui’s dolphins and blue whale are not found in the vicinity of the project area; therefore no interactions with marine mammals are anticipated. Regardless, TTR will establish protocols for encounters with marine mammals to ensure adverse effects do not arise.


What will the sediment plume look like?

A sediment plume derived from mining will contribute to the total suspended sediment concentrations within a few kilometres of the project area, but the sediment plume decreases with distance from the project area, and will be insignificant relative to the natural suspended sediment concentrations near the coast. The impact the sediment plume may have on the coastal and nearshore South Taranaki Bight waters including aquatic ecosystems, human observers, fishing and diving is therefore expected to be low.


What impact will the project have on the South Taranaki coastline?

NIWA’s investigations and modelling have demonstrated that there will be no change to wave climate. It is also understood that there is little linkage between sediment flow at the mining area and the coast. Consequently no change to the topography of the coastline or its erosion characteristics is anticipated.


How will TTR protect against unplanned events?

Unplanned events such as oil spills or other substance with potential adverse water quality or environmental effects, fire, explosion, serious accidents on board ships, natural disasters or any other event that can cause serious damage to structure or equipment puts human health and the environment at risk.

As much as possible TTR want to reduce the likelihood of an unplanned event occurring. To that end TTR has been working with Maritime New Zealand, the High Hazard Units of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, Taranaki Regional Council and Horizons Regional Council, our vessel designers and classification society to identify hazards associated with TTR’s project and identify ways such that the risk can be minimised and reduced to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).

TTR will also develop a comprehensive Crisis and Emergency Response Plan (CEMP). The CEMP will identify the potential risks to TTR operations and the events which will cause the CEMP to be activated. The plan will ensure that appropriate individuals and organisations are kept apprised of developments related to the emergency situation in a timely and efficient manner. The plan also identifies the authority and procedures by which these persons may respond to these situations. The plan will complement the normal health and safety operations of TTR and to prevail only during emergency/crisis situations.


Economic Benefits

How many jobs will the South Taranaki Bight Project create?

Around 200 personnel will be required for the offshore vessels (the FPSO, FSO and the Anchor Handling Tug). Additionally, approximately 50 fulltime equivalents will be employed by TTR, including administration, engineering, environmental staff and other contractors.

There will be increased opportunities for residents of Taranaki and Whanganui to access training and work experience that is relevant to the range of positions associated with TTR’s operations.


What are the economic benefits for New Zealand?

NZIER undertook an assessment of the potential economic benefits of the TTR Project. NZIER estimate the Project will increase the size of the New Zealand economy by:

- Increasing exports by $147 million per year
- Increasing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by $302 million per year
- Contributing $54 million per year in taxes and royalties
- Increasing household consumption by $104 million per year


What are the local benefits for South Taranaki?

NZIER estimate the Project will benefit the Taranaki regional economy by raising regional GDP by 3% or $240 million year, and should create around 170 indirect jobs throughout the rest of the regional economy.

TTR is investigating establishing a community trust, to support local community projects, and ensure that the local communities of South Taranaki benefit from the Project.

It is also expected that there will be employment opportunities for South Taranaki people, and some staff are expected to be resident in South Taranaki thus providing further economic benefit to the area.


How much will the project cost?

The Project will cost around US$ 500 million dollars to construct the vessels and mining equipment. The ongoing operating expenses are projected to be around US$ 180 million per year. The majority of the operating expenses relate to freight, domestic inputs and labour costs.


Why isn’t TTR adding value to the iron sands in New Zealand?

TTR is adding value to the iron sands by creating an iron ore concentrate. To produce a metallurgy treatable concentrate for use in a steel mill the iron ore, or iron sand, has to be ground for mineral liberation, enriched for concentration and dewatered for transportation. TTR will be undertaking all three of these steps before exporting the iron ore concentrate.


Marine Consents Process

Will the public have an opportunity to input in the approvals process?

Yes. As required under the EEZ Act, there will be a 20 working day period in which the public can make submissions. Information about how to make submissions will be published on the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) website http://www.epa.govt.nz/EEZ/trans_tasman/Pages/default.aspx.


How does the EPA’s EEZ Act process work?

The EPA’s EEZ Act process is similar to that of the Resource Management Act’s (RMA) projects of national significance process, but with a number of legal differences that alter the application and the decision making process.

As in the RMA, a decision is not based on the numbers of submissions for or against a particular proposal; rather the process considers the effects of the proposal on the environment and existing interests as well as the proposal’s economic benefit to New Zealand.

In short, the process the EPA has to follow when assessing marine consents is:

- EPA appoints its decision makers and evaluates the application for marine consents for completeness;
- on accepting an application as complete, the EPA notifies the application nationally via national newspapers and requests public submissions;
- the submissions are then considered and evidence exchanged between the applicant and those parties who wish to be heard;
- the EPA holds a hearing; and
- EPA provides its decision.


The entire process is completed within a timeframe of approximately 7 months from the date notification.

The EPA’s decision can then be appealed to the High Court on points of law only. "

Elon Musk Launches the Tesla-Patent Commons - CT/WBSCD/TM - Jun 16, 2014

www.teslamotors.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you

"About six years ago, a handful of tech companies launched the Eco-Patent Commons. This initiative to share environmentally friendly patented technologies is administered by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a Geneva-based organization that promotes sustainability in business.

Last week, of course, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, made quite a splash by announcing on the company blog that the EV maker would “donate” its entire patent portfolio. To be precise, what Musk said was “Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.”

Although Musk’s move is very much in the tradition of the Eco-Patent Commons, it is more significant and likely to have a greater impact. The significance of the brand new Tesla-Patent Commons is best understood by comparing and contrasting it with the Eco-Patent Commons before it. This comparative analysis reveals both major relative strengths and some flaws.

The greatest distinction between the two is in the nature, quality, and breadth of the available patents. The Eco-Patent Commons is comprised of tiny random slices of technologies developed by an eclectic mix of donating companies. An entity that wishes to commercially exploit technology in the Eco-Patent Commons would have to locate a donated patent directed to an important innovation, and any business opportunity would have to logically flow from that patented innovation.

Commercial success in this way seems unlikely for two reasons. First, aside from patent “troll” activity and similar secondary market business models, businesses do not flow from patents. It works much better the other way round: innovate, start a business around the innovation, and then, if possible, patent the innovation.

Second, the patents in the Eco-Patent Commons are those which the donating companies had little interest in exploiting themselves (or licensing to others) so the odds are slim that they are directed to important innovations that will be worthwhile for others.

Tesla’s patent portfolio, on the other hand, is large in scope, holistic in its breadth (i.e., supporting established commercial products) and presumably includes the crown jewels of the company. Everyone knows the technology areas, product areas, and business ventures Tesla’s patents can support. One can easily envision a number of well-defined businesses successfully selling electric vehicles, advanced batteries, and charging systems based on the freedom to operate provided by the Tesla-Patent Commons.

Keep in mind, though, that no commons can provide 100% freedom to operate. True, if you manufacture and sell EVs, batteries, or charging systems employing innovations that are entirely coextensive with the claims of Tesla’s patents you won’t be sued by Musk. However, these are complex technologies. What if your EV includes Tesla-patented innovations along side other technical features patented by another less commons-y patentee with enforcement proclivities?

Perhaps the possibilities are not so limited. Maybe instead of the need to match the features of their products to the donated patent claims, budding Tesla-tech businesses could copy the EV maker’s actual products, e.g., manufacture the Tesla Model S under another name. After all, the company has been around for a while and, to my knowledge, hasn’t been sued for patent infringement. So it seems Tesla has the freedom to operate for its existing product lines.

Then the question becomes whether there are any mechanisms besides its patents that confer upon Tesla this freedom to operate. For example, does Tesla license any of the technologies in its vehicles from other patentees? If so, a budding Tesla-tech business might need to ask Musk if he would consider assigning the rights under any relevant license agreements to which Tesla is a party.

So the Tesla-Patent Commons is very significant, and unlike any prior (small “e”) eco-patent commons, but the commercial and legal realities of dealing with patents and positioning technological businesses to be free to operate are always extremely complex.

Ultimately, the impact of Musk’s decision may turn on to what extent other such players will be motivated to invest in manufacturing vehicles, batteries, etc. using Tesla’s patented and patent-pending technology with the obvious upside being the proven innovation that technology brings and the down side being no exclusivity, instead of investing in their own R&D and patent protection where the upside may be exclusivity and the down side may be inferior or unproven technologies.

Only time will tell, and I’m sure this author and many other commentators will be watching this closely. ""

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: '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.

Copper nanowire coating to make smartphone screens shatterproof - M.com/UoA/ACSN, OHIO - Jun 10, 2014

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nn500678b

"

- A transparent layer of electrodes on a polymer surface could be extraordinarily tough and flexible, providing for a shatterproof smartphone touchscreen. -


Scientists at Ohio's University of Akron may have cracked one of the biggest challenges smartphone owners face — keeping the screen in one piece.

The team, led by Dr Yu Zhu, an assistant professor of polymer science, has developed an unbreakable touchscreen film comprised of a network of linked copper nanowires. The coating is said to be as transparent as the current one used by phone and tablets manufacturers, but stronger and more conductive.

According to the researchers, the new material can be bent more than 1,000 times without breaking, it also doesn't peel and would be cheaper to produce than the available touchscreens on the market.

Other nanowire-based electrode coatings have also previously been created. According to the university, however, those fall behind Zhu's approach when it comes to adhesion, smoothness, and/or conductivity.

"We expect this film to emerge on the market as a true ITO competitor," he said. "The annoying problem of cracked smartphone screens may be solved once and for all with this flexible touchscreen."

A paper on the research was recently published in the journal ACS Nano. "

800+ Species added to IUCN Threatened List - ENN/MB/IUCN/SSC - Jun 17, 2014

- Jeremy Hance -
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47498
http://news.mongabay.com/2014/0616-hance-iucn-redlist-2014.h…

"Experts have added 817 species to the threatened categories of the IUCN Red List in the latest update. Those added include 51 mammals—mostly lemurs—and over 400 plants. The new update finds that over 90 percent of lemurs and 79 percent of temperate slipper orchids are threatened with extinction.

"What was most surprising about this assessment was the degree of threat to these orchids," said Hassan Rankou, the IUCN Species Survival Commission's (SSC) Authority for the Orchid Specialist Group, "Slipper orchids are popular in the multimillion-dollar horticultural industry. Although the industry is sustained by cultivated stock, conservation of wild species is vital for its future."

Temperate slipper orchids are found in Europe, North America and temperate Asia, but have become hugely imperiled due to habitat loss and over-collecting.

As for lemurs, the new update found that a stunning 94 percent of this primate group—only found on the island of Madagascar—is at risk of extinction, making them one of the most imperiled groups on the planet. In fact, experts moved 36 species of lemur from a Data Deficient ranking (meaning there is not enough information to make a determination) to one of three threatened categories, i.e. Vulnerable, Endangered, and Critically Endangered. Another eight were moved from lower categories to threatened.

Still, experts say hope remains for the world's lemur species.

"Past successes demonstrate that collaboration between local communities, non-governmental organizations and researchers can protect imperiled primate species. We urgently invite all actors to join our efforts to ensure the continued existence of lemurs," said Christoph Schwitzer, Vice-Chair for Madagascar of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group.

In all, 22,103 species are now listed as threatened out of the 73,686 evaluated. But over 10,000 of these remain listed as Data Deficient. "

'Battery Breakthrough' Offers 30 Times More Power, Charges 1.000 Times Faster - M/UoI/NC, CHAMPAIGN - Apr 18, 2013
http://news.illinois.edu/news/13/0416microbatteries_WilliamK…
http://mashable.com/2013/04/17/battery-breakthrough/
www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n4/full/ncomms2747.html

"Battery technology has improved over the past decade, but now scientists claim they have made a giant leap in power storage, giving lithium-ion batteries 30 times more power and the ability to recharge 1,000 times faster "than competing technologies."

This is a battery breakthrough that could change the world — it's "a whole new way to think about batteries," according to its creators. The team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, headed up by Professor William King, wrote about the technology in the April 16 issue of Nature Communications.


According to King, battery technology has "lagged far behind" the technology it powers. He says in a press release that his microtechnology "could change all of that. Now the power source is as high performance as the rest of it."

The batteries are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo powerful, King says you could use the power storage device in your cellphone to jumpstart your car battery .

How has the team accomplished this seemingly miraculous breakthrough? The secret is extreme miniaturization of the conventional elements of traditional batteries, the anode and the cathode. Assembling these in a 3D microstructure, the researchers have developed what their press release says is "a new way to integrate the two components at the microscale to make a complete battery with superior performance."

What's next? Like most scientific breakthroughs, the scientists are now working on making the technology affordable, and adapting it to fit into today's tightly packed environments of smartphones and other gadgetry. Said the press release, "imagine juicing up a credit-card-thin phone in less than a second ."

We contacted King, asking him when he thinks we might see this technology in our hands, and what devices might be first to use it. He said, "We are past the laboratory demonstration stage, working with systems integrators now."

King said the technology could be available for consumers in "perhaps 1-2 years ." Where might we see these super batteries first? Says King, "The first applications of this technology will be to be replace supercapacitors in radios and personal electronics."

Imagine what a battery with this kind of power could do to our world, which is increasingly dependent on energy storage devices. Electric cars could become a lot more practical and recharge in less than the time it takes to fill up a gas tank . Solar power could be stored easily overnight with incredible efficiency , and many devices that now must be plugged in could be powered by these super batteries.

It's interesting that this technology originated at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the birthplace of the fictional HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

What say you, readers? Vaporware or 'world changer'? "

NanoStruck Announces "as much as" 96% Recovery of 9.1 GMS/Ton, from Tailing Samples, "much higher than expected by industry observers", NanoStruck is in discussions with the owners of the source site regarding potential contracts for processing the mine tailings @the source site; head assays +sampling were done by SGS SA +optical microscopic study performed by Petrolab Ltd, to verify the representativeness of the tailing samples as well as percentage of precious metal contained in them. Recovery rates +processes used were also monitored +verified by certified 3rd party experts +laboratory testing, including electron microscope analysis; The value of precious metals left in mine tailings in `12 "alone" by mining companies, such as Anglo American Plc(LON: AAL), Barrick Gold Corp.(TSX: ABX, NYSE: ABX), Goldcorp Inc.(TSX: G, NYSE: GG) +Rio Tinto Group(ASX: RIO), was 'estimated' to be ~US$20.000.000.000, @current market prices. Of that, gold represented >80% of the value, with ~360 tons of gold left behind in tailings, due to their micronic size, complex minerology as well as political +environmental concerns related to cyanide leaching; NanoStruck’s environmentally conscious approach did not involve the use of cyanide leaching. All chemicals +organic substances used were recycled +reused. More details on the refractory gold tailing samples +specifics of the results will be published in the weeks ahead, along with 'highlights' from an environmental impact study, as well as a volumetrics +grade survey; Bundeep Singh Rangar: "We are very excited to announce these 'tremendously' high recovery rates, involving non-cyanide hydrometallurgy +nanotechnology based processes, "that "could" be transformative for the mining industry "."; Brian Mok: "High value refractory ore +tailings " "would" be very well suited for this process, as well as jurisdictions where the use of toxic materials, such as cyanide is undesirable or unacceptable" " - Feb 7, 2014

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

Why "Warren Buffet is Betting Big on Clean Energy" - E.com - Jun 11, 2014
www.equities.com/editors-desk/stocks/technology/why-warren-b…y

"A Singapore-based man Andy Chua has won the bid to have lunch with billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Buffett has been offering these lunches to support Glide, a social service organization that helps needy residents. Mr. Chua shelled out $2.2 million for the privilege of having lunch with the “Sage of Omaha.”

Over the years, many others have shelled out millions for the chance to have lunch with Buffett. The lunch of course offers a great opportunity to get insights on investing from perhaps the greatest investor in the world. This year’s winner of the lunch bid is likely to get some insights from Buffett on clean energy, an area the billionaire investor seems to very keen on at the moment.


Buffett Spending Big on Clean Energy

Buffett’s investment company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ($BRK.A) is spending billions of dollars on the construction of wind and solar power plants. Speaking at the Edison Electric Institute’s annual convention in Las Vegas on Monday, Buffett said that Berkshire Hathaway has committed $15 billion to renewable energy already. More importantly, Buffett said that he is ready to invest another $15 billion in the sector.

The key question is why is Buffett is so keen on clean energy now. While one reason of course is increasing energy demand, his willingness to invest more money in the sector could stem from a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plan that is seeking a 30 percent reduction of carbon emissions from 2005 levels at coal-fired power plants by the year 2030.


EPA’s Plan

The EPA recently announced a rather controversial plan that aims to reduce the U.S.’s carbon emissions by 2030. The 645-page plan proposes that utilities cut carbon emissions at coal-fired power plants by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.

The EPA’s plan would have a direct impact on coal consumption. According to FBR Capital Markets, the plan is likely to cut coal consumption in the power sector by 267 to 285 million tons between 2013 and 2030. Coal and natural gas are the two main sources of power generation in the U.S. In 2012, power generation from natural gas briefly matched that from coal, thanks mainly to the shale boom in the U.S. which pushed natural gas prices to record low levels.

The EPA’s plan is likely to force utilities to shift from coal to natural gas. Indeed, natural gas will be the biggest beneficiary of the move. However, the plan is also expected to boost interest in renewable energy. This is possibly one of the reasons why Buffett is looking to bet big on the industry.


Companies to Watch in the Renewable Energy Sector

SolarCity Corp. (SCTY) is one of the companies investors should keep an eye on, going forward. In the past year, shares of the San Mateo, California-based company have gained more than 45 percent, outperforming the broader market.

According to a survey conducted by SolarCity and Clean Edge in collaboration with NASDAQ earlier this year, 88 percent of the homeowners in the U.S. believe that renewable energy is important to America’s future. This is the reason why companies like SolarCity have been expanding. In May, SolarCity announced that it expanded its Massachusetts Operations to South Shore in order to meet increased solar demand.

Another company to watch in the clean energy sector is First Solar Inc. (FSLR) . In the past one year, the company’s shares have gained nearly 23 percent. For the first quarter of 2014, First Solar had reported net sales of $950 million, an increase of $182 million over the previous quarter. The company’s GAAP net income for the quarter was $1.10 per share, up from $0.64 per share reported in the previous quarter. "

Kristul "Hybrid's patented technology is "the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane, without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process." The polyurethane industry has "started to feel pressure to deal with toxic isocyanates, which puts the Company in a strong position." We "have received alot of interest from large players in our industry, both for the quality +durability of our products +for the environmental benefits of our isocyanate free technology" +we " "expect" some of this interest to translate into collaborations +commercial agreements in the "near future"."

We are "the exclusive licensee of Green Polyurethane™ coatings +paint – the "world's 1st-ever patent protected polyurethane-based coatings +paint products, which eliminate toxic isocyanates from the entire production process" "; Conventional polyurethane(PU) paint +coatings have 'many disadvantages': they are porous, permeable +maintain poor hydrolytic stability. This "makes the material highly vulnerable to environmental degradation +ultimately leads to their chemical decomposition, especially when in contact with water. Even worse, the manufacture of conventional polyurethanes involves highly toxic components such as isocyanates, which can cause irritation of skin +mucous membranes, chest tightness, difficult breathing, upset stomach, fevers +prolonged exposure has been known to cause severe asthma +even death." Furthermore, strict +costly health & safety measures have to be implemented in the manufacture +application of conventional polyurethane, due to the toxicity of isocyanates. "This is why regulatory bodies around the world are now looking toward phasing out the use of isocyanates"; Green Polyurethane™ ("HNIPU") is a " "hybrid" material, which combines the high chemical resistance properties of epoxy +advanced durability +wear resistance properties of polyurethane, "making it the perfect application for high traffic +corrosive surface areas"." As a hybrid material with superior properties, Green Polyurethane ™ can be applied in one coating in most cases, "providing a welcome cost-saving substitute to currently used multi-layered flooring applications." Green Polyurethane™ "also provides the "1st sound solution" to the environmental +health hazards, associated with isocyanates in polyurethane." Its safety features "allow it to be applied, without the interruption of business due to public exposure, creating an additional 30 -60% savings on application costs for customers" - Jul 1, 2013

Tanium erhält 90.000.000 Dollar, von Facebook-Investor Horowitz - W: 0/DPA, NEW YORK - Jun 23, 2014
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/6831382-roundup-tanium-90…

"Facebook -Investor Andreessen Horowitz setzt die zweitgrößte Finanzwette seiner Unternehmensgeschichte auf die Computer-Sicherheitsfirma Tanium. Der renommierte Risikokapitalgeber investiert 90 Millionen Dollar in das sieben Jahre alte Unternehmen, teilte Firmenmitbegründer Marc Andreessen über Twitter mit. "Titanium ist ein Durchbruch, wie wir ihn noch nie gesehen haben", schreibt der Internet-Pionier, der mit seiner Firma neben Facebook auch andere Internetgrößen wie Pinterest finanziell auf den Weg gebracht hat.


Es sei das erste Investment, das die 2007 gegründete Firma Tanium erhalte. Die von Orion Hindawi und seinem Vater gegründete Firma habe bislang unter dem Radar gearbeitet. Wahrscheinlich habe man noch nie von Tanium gehört, aber die Technologie klinge wie der Traum eines IT-Managers, schätzt das Technologie-Blog "Bizfeedz". Die Software soll es ermöglichen, über einen einfachen Webbrowser alle IT-Geräte eines Unternehmens zu verwalten und gleichzeitig Sicherheitslücken zu erkennen und sofort - in Echtzeit zu entfernen.

Die Analyse- und Sicherheitsfunktionen der Software seien eine potenzielle Herausforderung für Technologie-Unternehmen wie IBM und Symantec, schreibt "das Wall Street Journal". Mit dem Symantec-Rivalen McAfee hatte Tanium allerdings erst im Februar eine Partnerschaft vereinbart, um Echtzeit-Technologie in die Sicherheits-Management-Systeme des Unternehmens zu integrieren.

Auch Ex-Microsoft -Manager Steven Sinofsky sieht großes Potenzial in den Lösungen von Tanium. Der Andreessen-Partner sitzt inzwischen im Vorstand der Firma aus dem kalifornischen Berkeley. Tanium ermögliche ein komplettes Umdenken, wie IT-Profis Netzwerke verwalten und die Sicherheit gewährleisten, sagte Sinofsky./gri/DP/stb "

"With Lac Knife feasibility in hand, Focus becomes "global graphite frontrunner" " - MW, TORONTO - Jun 25, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/with-lac-knife-feasibility-in-h…

"Emerging Canadian graphite producer Focus Graphite said it was now the frontrunner in a group of project developers aiming to diversify the global dependence on Chinese supplied graphite, reporting the positive results on Wednesday of a feasibility study carried out on its flagship Lac Knife project, in Quebec.

The TSX-listed project developer revealed that the study, performed by Met-Chem Canada, was based on a 25-year mine life and produced an after tax net present value (NPV) of C$224-million when using a discounted cash flow (DCF) rate of 8%.

The after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) was calculated at 24.1%, resulting in the company being able to pay back the C$165.55-million required to build the project in 3.2 years.

The pre-tax financial model had an NPV of C$383-million calculated at a DCF rate of 8% and a pre-tax IRR of 30.1%, with a capital payback of three years.

Focus president and COO Don Baxter noted that the completed study represented a significant milestone in the development of the Lac Knife project.

“With the feasibility study in hand, an offtake [agreement] with an end-user signed and battery-tested spherical graphite, Focus has positioned itself as a leader in the graphite space, with no other company having reached this level of development,” he boasted.

Focus CEO Gary Economo added that Lac Knife was a remarkable property by any Canadian or international standard. “As we have already demonstrated, Lac Knife provides us and our shareholders with a significant advantage; the ability to meet our customers’ needs for [high]-quality products at competitive prices,” he said.

The study had demonstrated that the Lac Knife project was economically viable with a base-case scenario that includes a concentrator-production line rate of 44 300 t/y of concentrate at an average mill feed rate of 323 670 t/y.

Further, the feasibility study lowered the operating costs to $441/t of concentrate produced compared with the preliminary economic assessment that showed $458/t of concentrate produced. One key variable was Lac Knife’s project location giving relatively easy access to low-cost hydroelectric power from Hydro Quebec.

Lac Knife is unique in that all natural flake graphitic concentrates produced with flake sizes above 200 mesh (75 microns) are more than 98% pure graphitic carbon. This will allow Focus to divert finer-sized products, that were typically difficult to sell owing to their flake size, to higher value-added products such as spherical graphite for batteries, owing to the high carbon content.

The study assumed a concentrator availability of 93% and recommended the company make use of a mining contractor that would use conventional openpit mining methods. These included drilling and blasting followed by a hydraulic excavator loading a fleet of 46 t haul trucks.

The mine would operate for seven months of the year and a front-end wheel loader would be used to feed the processing plant from an ore stockpile during the winter months.

The openpit design included 429 000 t of proven reserves and 7.42-million tonnes of probable reserves for a total of 7.85-million tonnes of proven and probable mineral reserves, grading 15.13% graphitic carbon. Measured and indicated resources were estimated at 9.6-million tonnes, grading 14.77% at a 3% graphitic carbon cutoff grade. There were also 3.1-million tonnes of inferred resources, grading 13.25% graphitic carbon, using a 3% cutoff.

Last month, Focus reported that bench-scale tests were able to prove that spherical graphite produced from Lac Knife was about 80% more efficient at reducing irreversible cycling losses in lithium-ion batteries than contemporary commercial benchmark grades.

The Ottawa-based company said the two premium (medium and fine) grade spherical graphite it had developed had achieved first-cycle irreversible capacity losses of 1.44% and 1.01%, respectively, which compared favourably with the performance of benchmark spherical graphite grades.

Focus contended that its spherical graphite grades might help to solve one of the critical issues holding back market growth for lithium-ion batteries, which was to increase the cycling capacity of batteries.

Focus said it was currently in talks with vendors to define financing packages for equipment. This could result in reduced up-front capital and add to the basket of financing options currently being investigated. Another financing option currently under due diligence was alternative nondiluting supply-chain financing options.

In December, the company struck a ten-year offtake accord with a Chinese industrial conglomerate to buy a minimum of between 20 000 t/y and 40 000 t/y of large-, medium- and fine-flake graphite and value-added graphite. Possible future offtake agreements would also contain a financial component, the company said.

Project permitting was well under way with the environmental- and social-impact assessment expected to be submitted by the end of the summer, with the mine closure plan being planned for submission by mid-summer.

Focus reported that it continued to communicate, meet and listen to local communities and would be intensifying these efforts now that the feasibility study had been completed and the impacts were known. "

Connecting population growth +biodiversity decline - ENN/MB - Jun 27, 2014

- J. Hance -
http://news.mongabay.com/2014/0626-hance-overpopulation-clim…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47534

"It took humans around 200,000 years to reach a global population of one billion. But, in two hundred years we've septupled that. In fact, over the last 40 years we've added an extra billion approximately every dozen years. And the United Nations predicts we'll add another four billion—for a total of 11 billion—by century's end. Despite this few scientists, policymakers, or even environmentalists are willing to publicly connect incredible population growth to worsening climate change, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, or the global environmental crisis in general.


"We are already to a point where our population size is unsustainable," Jeffrey McKee with the Ohio State University told mongabay.com. "In other words, we are already beyond the point of the biological concept of 'carrying capacity.' Millions of people go hungry every day, and an unfathomable number don’t even have access to clean drinking water. A world of 11 billion people would be regrettable to humans as well as to other species."

McKee has recently studied the intersection between human population and biodiversity decline, finding a direct correlation between the rate of population growth and the number of endangered species in a country.
Meanwhile another researcher, geographer Camila Mora with the University of Hawaii, recently argued in a paper in Ecology and Society that overpopulation was exacerbating global warming, the biodiversity crisis, as well as creating large-scale economic and societal problems.
But if our population is already beyond sustainable, why has the subject become almost taboo? And not just in political circles, but even in environmental circles?

"There are multiple reasons including historical flip-flops about [overpopulation's] importance," Mora told mongabay.com. "However, the fact that were are not interested in talking about it it does not make less critical."

For decades scientists have been warning that the world may well be entering a period of mass extinction with untold consequences for human societies and the natural world. While the drivers of global biodiversity decline are many and complicated—including habitat destruction, deforestation, overexploitation of species, climate change, and ocean acidification—they are also underpinned by one simple fact: the human population continues to boom.

"It is simple math," Mora told mongabay.com. "We live in a world with limited resources and space. The more we use and take the less other species have. Today some 20,000 species may be driven to extinctions due to habitat loss alone." "

NovX21 to build Quebec’s 1st PGM recycling plant, @Thetford Mines - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Jun 25, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/novx21-to-build-quebecs-first-p…

" Green-technology pioneer NovX21 on Wednesday announced that it would build Quebec’s first platinum-group metals (PGMs) recycling plant in a Thetford Mines industrial park, a critical step on the road to commercial-scale deployment of its patented technology to recover PGMs from end-of-life vehicles.

TSX-V-listed NovX21 has developed, patented and implemented an innovative, sustainable green technology to recycle catalytic converters, a key component of vehicle pollution control systems.

The Montreal-based company’s quick, clean, affordable and energy-efficient process allows it to recover PGMs for reuse, along with most of the other components used to manufacture catalytic converters.

“We looked at multiple options for the site of the new plant, both in Quebec and elsewhere, and Thetford Mines was the obvious choice, particularly given its strategic location and the availability of skilled labour in the region, but also because of its vibrancy and the entrepreneurial attitude of its representatives,” NovX21 president and CEO Sylvain Boulanger said.

Thetford Mines is located about 230 km east of Montreal.

NovX21 said its solution coincided with the convergence of a strong precious metals market and the global automobile market being urged to meet increasingly environment-friendly standards.

Recycling now played a critical role for many automotive industry players, from vehicle production through to vehicle end-of-life cycles. In this context, the global PGM recycling market is expected to grow by 8.2% to $9-billion by 2018.

NovX21’s technology also opens the door to research and development activities aimed at adapting its facilities to recover other metals, for use in a range of industries that generate large quantities of reusable components, such as electronics.

“NovX21 has a proprietary technology. We are one of the companies that will enable Quebec to play a role in the commercial development of innovative, sustainable technologies and share in the associated economic benefits. In the current PGM market, NovX21 aims to become a stable source of supply,” Boulanger said. "

New type of rock? Scientists have discovered a new type of “rock”, made out of plastic, that will stay in the Earth’s strata forever - +called it Plastiglomerate - MA - Jun 6, 2014

"Scientists have discovered a new type of “rock” that will stay in the Earth’s strata forever.

The rock is made out of plastic rubbish and other detritus, and has been dubbed Plastiglomerate.

Basically, it’s what happens when plastic melts on the beach and gets a bunch of stuff stuck to it- Shells, more sand, bits of coral,twigs and bird poop, whatever.

You could call it Metamorphic Garbage, if you were so inclined.

There are two types of Plastiglomerates, as discovered by research done on Kamilo Beach in Hawaii.

In Situ plastiglomerate is the rarer type, which occurs when plastic melts onto existing rocky outcrops.

Clastic plastiglomerates form as loose structures, and are much more common.

Plastiglomerate was first discovered by the oceanographer Captain Charles Moore, who thought that molten lava had melted the plastic to create the new “rock”.

Plastiglomerates will certainly be around long after the human species has died out or evolved into something else, and will provide a hardy, datable, anthropological record of our existence.


Note: It doesn’t seem that anyone has found a use for it yet, although here at Australian Mining the idea has floated that if ever the technology of plastic manufacture is lost , we "may" well end up mining Plastiglomerates and trading them as a valuable commodity. "

"New developments in Graphene research, from Adelaide University" - MA/AU, ADELAIDE - Jun 27, 2014

- Ben Hagemann -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/new-developments-in-graphene…
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/high-tech-graphite-industry-…

"Graphene research funding to the University of Adelaide is paying off, with two new papers recently presented at the Nanotech USA Conference.

The graphene research team headed by Professor Dusan Losic has made progress on several applications for the new nanomaterial in recent months, including excellent performance as in new adsorbents for water purification.

Other new applications investigated by Losic’s team include removal of toxic metals from waste waters, for removing spilled oils from water, as well as uses in soil remediation and in agricultural applications.

The academic research papers, presented at one of the world’s largest nanotech conferences held in Washington, look at a new, green approach for the reduction of graphene oxide using non-aromatic amino acids which can be used for production of graphene and graphene oxide with controllable size and chemistry of nanosheets.

The second paper outlines the development of graphene composite hydrogels and aerogels for selective removal of oils and organic contaminants.

New research efforts will be turned to identifying key opportunities for commercial development.

Graphite miner Archer Exploration has committed $200,000 over two years to funding the Graphene Research Centre at Adelaide University, while Valence Industries have committed 800,000 over three and a half years.

Graphene was first isolated in 2004, and is a one-atom thick layer of graphite, is the basic structural element of graphite, charcoal, and carbon nanotubes and spherical fullerenes.

The high-tech, two-dimensional substance has a range of potential applications, including lightweight, thin, flexible, yet durable display screens, electric circuits, and solar cells, as well as various medical, chemical and industrial processes.

Graphite became a prospect of notable interest in South Australia early last year, with a spate of new graphite resource discoveries on the Eyre Peninsula.

The Uley mine is the only graphite mine in Australia, which was reopened by Valence Industries earlier this year.

The resource is relatively uncommon and produced in only a few countries, including Brazil, Canada, India, China, and The Glorious Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). "

New Analysis Points To Pollution As The Largest Cause of Death, in Low- +Middle-Income Countries; Global Alliance Urges Higher Priority For Comprehensive Approach to Pollution in SDGs - ENN/GAHP/BSI/UN, NEW YORK - Jun 13, 2014

www.gahp.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/SDG-Health-Targe…
www.gahp.net/new/resources/pollution-and-health/gahp-poisone…

"The Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP) has released a new analysis of data that points to pollution as the largest factor in disease and death in the developing world, killing more than 8.4 million people each year. But pollution has a low priority in the current draft of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the U.N.'s new plan for development assistance for the next 15 years.

The analysis, based on new data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and others, determine that 7.4 million deaths were due to pollution sources from air, water, sanitation and hygiene. WHO figures released in May 2014 count deaths from outdoor and indoor air pollution at 6.58 million; water contamination, lack of sanitation and hygiene at 842,000.

The analysis by GAHP attributes an additional one million deaths to toxic chemical and industrial wastes from large and small producers in formal and informal sectors of economies in poor countries.

The total number of deaths, 8.4 million, is largest death factor in the world. In fact, pollution causes almost three times more deaths than malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis combined (1.5 million deaths from HIV; 600,000 from malaria; and 900,000 from tuberculosis).

GAHP members worldwide have come together to urge the U.N. to spotlight pollution in the SDGs (see the growing list of supporters). A position paper and a draft of GAHP’s proposed revised SDG text have been created. These will be presented to the Open Working Group of the SDGs, meeting in New York City next week.


Spotlighting the Largest “Invisible” Killer in the Developing World

"There is a reason why pollution is sometimes called the invisible killer," says Richard Fuller, President of Pure Earth/Blacksmith Institute. "While it is the single largest risk factor, unfortunately, its impact is difficult to track because health statistics measure disease, not pollution.”

Fuller adds, “Pollution causes diseases like cancers, lung infections, and heart disease amongst others. Hospitals don't measure what caused those diseases. But contaminated water, soil and air result in millions of additional diseases and deaths. These are deaths we can avoid, if we prioritize addressing pollution."

Fernando Lugris, Ambassador and Deputy Director, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Uruguay adds, "The problem is that the current SDGs include mention only of air pollution in the health goal and ignore other causes like chemicals and waste. Since the SDGs will determine what the world pays attention to and funds over the next fifteen years, the importance of having all forms of pollution addressed is enormous. The SDGs set the agenda. We need to make sure pollution is adequately covered."

John Pwamang of the Ghana Environment Protection Agency notes, "We have identified over 200 places with contaminated air, soil or water that are putting at risk some 6 million people. These include places with lead poisoning from recycling used lead-acid or car batteries, and e-waste dismantling areas, where cables are burnt in the open air and the toxic smoke poisons whole neighborhoods. Plus we have poor sanitation in our villages, and air pollution from vehicle exhausts in our cities."


For a Vast Majority of Deaths in Poor Countries, Solutions are Available

It is no surprise that the overwhelming majority of deaths from pollution are in low and middle-countries, where the world's worst polluted places are located. The Poisoned Poor, like Seynabou Mbengue who lost five of her children to pollution, are unable to move to less polluted communities or escape from the toxic jobs that sustain them economically.

In the U.S., like other western countries, life-threatening pollution is mostly a thing of the past. The U.S. has well-developed legislative and regulatory systems, and technical expertise to deal with the problem.

Now, the task is to transfer technical know-how from the wealthy countries to those in need; poorer countries with millions of deaths and diseases that can and should be avoided. GAHP was created to undertake this exact mandate.

A comprehensive approach to all forms of pollution is critical. Many communities in poor countries are assaulted simultaneously with different combinations of these harmful pollutants, whether as airborne particles, industrial wastes discharged into rivers used for drinking and bathing, pesticides or herbicides on crops absorbed into food and seeping into ground water, to name just a few. Not only do these combined substances cause disability and disease today, but the neurotoxic and transgenerational threats they pose to children under age 5, babies in-utero and the future reproductive health of women cries out for priority status in the SDGs.


About the GAHP

Ukraine "signs 'historic EU pact', snubbing Russia" - SH/TCP, BRUSSELS - Jun 28, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/bulletins/2014/06/27/uk-historic-eu-…

"Over Russia's objections, Ukraine's new president on Friday signed a free-trade deal binding his country more closely to Western Europe, sealing the very agreement that triggered the bloodshed and political convulsions of the past seven months.


Russia, meanwhile, fended off for the time being a new, more crippling round of Western sanctions over its intervention in Ukraine, where a fragile cease-fire between government forces and pro-Moscow separatists in the east expired Friday night but was extended by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko for three more days.

"What a great day!" a beaming Poroshenko said in Brussels upon the signing of the economic agreement with the European Union. "Maybe the most important day for my country after independence."

Since it became independent in the 1991 Soviet collapse, Ukraine has been involved in a delicate balancing act between Russia and the West. The Kremlin wants to keep Ukraine, the birthplace of Russian statehood and Russian Orthodox Christianity, in its orbit.

In November, under pressure from Moscow, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanuknovych spiked the EU pact, triggering huge protests that drove him from power. Moscow responded by annexing the mainly Russian-speaking Crimean Peninsula in March, and pro-Russian separatists soon rose up in Ukraine's eastern provinces.

While Friday's signing marked a defeat for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has threatened to cancel trade preferences for Ukraine, the Kremlin made no immediate move to punish its neighbour or the two other former Soviet republics that joined the pact, Moldova and Georgia.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia will take the necessary measures to protect its markets only when the agreement takes effect. That will take a few months.

Meanwhile, EU leaders decided not to immediately impose new sanctions on Russia for the uprising. But they warned that punitive measures have been drawn up and could be levied immediately.

And they gave Russia and the rebels until Monday to take steps to ease the violence, including releasing all captives, retreating from border checkpoints, agreeing on a way to verify the cease-fire and launching "substantial negotiations" on Poroshenko's peace plan.

The weeklong cease-fire, which both sides have been accused of violating, expired at 10 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), but Poroshenko quickly declared its extension until 10 p.m. local time Monday.

Insurgent leader Alexander Borodai said earlier in the day that the rebels were ready to extend the cease-fire if Poroshenko does so and would also soon release the European observers they have been holding for weeks.

Poroshenko warned, however, that the government could terminate the cease-fire in areas where it has been violated by the rebels.

At the signing ceremony, Poroshenko reminded EU leaders of the bloodshed in his country.

Ukraine "paid the highest possible price to make her European dreams come true," he said, asking the EU to pledge that one day Ukraine can join the 28-nation bloc. Membership "would cost the European Union nothing," he said, "but would mean the world to my country."

In Kyiv's Independence Square, the site of last winter's huge protests against Russian domination, balloons the colour of the EU's blue flag were released over the crowd as a rock band pounded out the European Union's anthem, Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

The crowd of several hundred was far smaller than the hundreds of thousands who jammed the square at the height of the protests. Rain, people getting out of town ahead of a long holiday weekend, and the simmering conflict in the east worked to restrain the mood.

Protest veteran Oleg Mityukhin, 48, came wrapped in the Ukrainian flag.

"I think there will be less corruption, there will be better quality goods, and it will be a push forward for the development of Ukraine," he said.

The agreements signed Friday let businesses in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, trade freely in any of the EU's nations without tariffs or restrictions as long as their goods and practices meet EU standards. Likewise, goods and services from the EU will be sold more easily and cheaply in the three countries.

Amanda Paul, a policy analyst at the Brussels-based think-tank European Policy Center, said Russia has levers to inflict serious economic pain on Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia through trade restrictions, cuts in energy supplies or the deportation of migrant workers from those countries.

European Commission experts estimate the deal will boost Ukraine's national income by 1.2 billion euros ($1.6 billion) a year.

The deal also demands that Ukraine adopt EU rules on government contracts, competition and copyrights — steps that could reduce corruption and make the country more attractive to investors.

"If the Internet was a country , its electricity use would rank sixth highest in the world . That huge power demand, and the potential to drive a renewable energy solution to its sourcing is the basis for Greenpeace’s report on tech companies that are moving toward one hundred percent renewable energy to power the Internet . For the report, Clicking Clean: How Internet Companies are Creating the Green internet, Greenpeace has evaluated 19 tech companies, including a review of over 300 data centers that make up their electricity supply chains. Five companies—Apple, Facebook, and Google, along with B2B companies Rackspace and Salesforce—have committed to a goal of powering their operations with one hundred percent renewable energy.

Apple has reached the one hundred percent goal in its power for its iCloud. It also operates the largest privately owned solar installation in the U.S at its North Carolina data center. Google has invested in wind energy; so has Facebook. Microsoft was noted for its carbon neutrality effort, for which it increased its renewables by 70 percent from 2011 to 2012. And SAP’s recent announcement that it would power all its data centers and facilities worldwide with one hundred percent sustainable electricity by the end of this year came too late to be included in the report, but the company’s targets are in line with those of the other leaders on Greenpeace’s Clean Energy list. For companies built on innovation, a focus on renewable energy seems like a natural move. "

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

General Electric m'it Großauftrag für 3D-Drucker, der bayrischen EOS' - W: 0/WW - Jun 30, 2014
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/6843776-3d-triebwerke-gen…

"Der weltgrößte Hersteller von Triebwerken für Flugzeuge GE Aviation plant einen Großauftrag beim bayerischen Unternehmen EOS über Hightech-Geräte für den 3-D-Druck. „Wir planen zunächst die Bestellung von mindestens 100 Geräten“, sagte Greg Morris, Leiter der GE-Sparte Additive Technologies, der „WirtschaftsWoche“. Der Auftrag der Tochter des US-Technologiekonzerns General Electric für das in Krailling bei München ansässige Unternehmen hat zu Listenpreisen einen Wert von gut 60 Millionen Euro, rund ein halber Jahresumsatz des bayerischen Unternehmens. Offiziell verkünden will Morris den Deal auf der Luftfahrtmesse im britischen Farnborough Mitte Juli.


Für EOS bedeutet dies den Durchbruch in der Luftfahrtbranche. Mit Hilfe der Hightech-Geräte aus Bayern will GE eine technologische Revolution im Flugzeugbau einleiten. Als erster Hersteller wird der US-Konzern in großem Stil Triebwerksteile nicht nur gießen oder fräsen, sondern serienmäßig im Rahmen eines 3-D-Druck genannten Verfahrens mit Hilfe eines Lasers aus Metallpulver schichtweise aufbauen . Weil die Teile widerstandsfähiger und leichter sind, sorgt die additive Fertigung für niedrigere Betriebskosten bei den Fluglinien.

Mit Hilfe der neuen EOS-Maschinen will GE bis zum Ende des Jahrzehnts zunächst mehr als 10.000 Teile pro Jahr herstellen, schreibt die „WirtschaftsWoche“. Doch das ist erst der Anfang. „Bei unserem jüngsten Triebwerk fertigen wir nur einen Teil additiv“, so GE-Manager Morris. „Doch wir prüfen bei mehr als 100 Teilen den Wechsel auf die neue Herstellungsart. Zudem dürfte das Verfahren bei allen Herstellern zum Standard werden.“ "

Leo Motors - "Takes Leadership, in 'Green Marine Propulsion' " - AW, SEOUL - Jun 30, 2014
www.accesswire.com/viewarticle.aspx?id=417380

"Leo Motors Inc. (OTCBB: LEOM) has acquired by merger 100% of its affiliate company, Leo Greentier Marines (LGM) through a share exchange.

LGM is the premier Korean E-outboard developer and manufacturer. They bring LEOM an effective fossil fuel alternative to conventional boats dramatically reducing CO2, and a variety of other water pollutants.

Initially intended to support Korea's commercial fishing fleet, LGM developed a high quality performance electric power system for boats that will revolutionize the marine market sector. The motor is lower in noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. LGM's e-Power system also reduces maintenance costs. The new e-boat gives fishermen significant reduction in energy costs. For each 100,000 km, traveled, an internal combustion engine $40,000 in fuel while the e-boat spends ~$4,000 , a 90% reduction in operating cost.

LGM has 7 patents and 15 patents pending. These patents include the remarkable Cartridge Battery Systems (CBS) technology.. CBS consists of 15-30 cartridges in a battery power pack. Such batteries are lightweight and can be recharged and replaced easily.

Maintenance costs are reduced by having only one tenth of the moving parts of standard motor boats. Lifespan of the outboard is doubled by the use of aluminum based corrosion resistant components.

Coping with the global trend toward Green Management, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has imposed regulations to decrease carbon dioxide emissions from boats by more than 30 percent. The Korean government initiated a pilot project converting 40 fishing boats into e-boat in 2014. Government subsidized approx. $30,000 per boat in this pilot project. Government expects to convert at least 10 percent of fishing boats below 3 tons over the next 10 years. (Converting approximately. 5,500 boats.)

In addition to addressing the $2 billion Korean small e-fishing boat market, the merger stages LEOM to be the leading company in the $55 billion global ocean leisure market.

MSCI "Completes 'Factor Indexes Research Study', for World’s Largest Pension Fund" - W: 0/BW - Jun 30, 2014
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/6842106-msci-completes-fa…d

"MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI), a leading provider of investment decision support tools worldwide, announced today that it has completed a research mandate for Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) that examines uses of factor-based indexes in large institutional portfolios and evaluates passive implementation of factor strategies alongside traditional passive and active mandates.


“We are happy to have been recognized by some of the world’s largest asset owners, including GPIF and Norway’s Ministry of Finance, for our expertise in factor indexes,” said Baer Pettit, Managing Director and Global Head of MSCI’s index business. “The study commissioned by GPIF reveals that passive factor strategies, which are made possible through newly developed factor indexes, and active management are not mutually exclusive. As a result, sophisticated institutional investors may increasingly make an independent allocation to passive factor investments, in parallel to their existing active and passive mandates.”

Chin Ping Chia, Head of Index Applied Research for MSCI in Asia Pacific, added, “As factor-based investing becomes more common among institutional investors, there is a growing need to understand how it can be best integrated into the existing investment process. In this research we studied the historical performance of investable factor indexes and observed that passive factor strategies can be implemented as a potential ‘third bucket’ alongside the traditional active and passive allocations.”

For the purposes of the research, MSCI created a series of factor indexes designed for large-scale asset owners and managers, for whom investability is a critical consideration. These indexes reweighted all the constituents of a market cap index based on six systematic factors – Value, Low Size, Low Volatility, High Yield, Quality and Momentum. MSCI also analyzed various multi-factor indexes to show the different historical performance characteristics of different combinations.

In April, GPIF announced that it had selected the MSCI Japan Index for a core Japanese equity passive fund. The MSCI Japan Small Cap Index was also selected for one of the index-based strategies in GPIF’s domestic equity program. Additionally, GPIF has announced that it intends to introduce a factor allocation in addition to its existing active and passive mandates.

Equity factor investing was pioneered in the 1970s based on research, data and analytics created by Barra – today an MSCI company. In recent years, MSCI has developed a range of indexes that provide institutional investors with a basis for implementing a transparent and efficient passive approach to seeking the excess returns historically obtained over long time horizons through active factor investing. In 2008, MSCI introduced the industry’s first Minimum Volatility Index. More than USD 90 billion in assets are benchmarked to MSCI Factor Indexes1.

1As of March 31, 2014, according to eVestment, Lipper and Bloomberg.

mCube "Looks to Disrupt the MEMS Industry" - N - Jun 29, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/mcube-looks-to-disrupt-the-mems-ind…

"Micro Electro Mechanical Systems or MEMS may not be something you’ve heard about but they are something you use every day if you have a smartphone. A MEMS device will typically consist of a microprocessor and any number of components that interact with the surroundings such as microsensors that detect temperature, pressure, movement, and light. For example, if you noticed that your smartphone screen auto-rotates when you tilt it, this is because a MEMS sensor detects the phone’s position. Below is a diagram that shows all the MEMS devices used on a typical smartphone in red:



- Source: www.semi.org -


It’s not just smart phones that use MEMS. The applications for these little machines are numerous and include inkjet printheads, microfluidics, oscilators, projection systems, microphones, and microfluidics. With so many applications for MEMS, the market is growing rapidly and reached over $12 billion in 2013 with projections of yearly CAGR of 12% going into 2018. One company that is well positioned to take advantage of this growth is mCube.





About

Founded in 2009, San Jose California based mCube has taken in $70 million in funding so far from the likes of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, DAG Ventures, Keystone Ventures, and Korea Investment Partners. Just this week mCube announced that they raised a $37 million Series C round of funding from existing investors. mCube is looking to enable a new era called ‘The Internet of Moving Things’ where everyday objects can monitor and analyze motion generating massive amounts of data and insight. mCube manufactures the world’s smallest MEMS motion sensors that are smaller than a grain of sand. The Company has shipped more than 60 million accelerometers into the China smartphone and tablet markets since 2009 and was also able to file over 100 patents during the same time.


Technology

Most motion sensors available in today’s market are based on multi-chip technology developed in the 1980s. In this approach, the mechanical sensor (MEMS) and the drive electronics (IC) are manufactured in different facilities using different processing techniques. The two chips are tested separately and then wired together during packaging. mCube has developed a unique single-chip MEMS technology. Advantages of this approach include smaller size, higher performance, lower cost, and the ability to integrate multiple sensors onto a single-chip.

The company has at least 16 different MEMS products for sale including some that look to be leading in innovation. In March of this year, mCube released the CallSense 2.0 virtual proximity sensor solution for use on smartphones. This solution is able to sense when your cell phone is being held up to your ear and then will quickly dim the lighting. As you take the phone away from your ear the lighting will then be set to normal. This feature would help save precious power for smart phone users. In May of this year, Cube released a gyroscope for smart phone gaming called the iGyro that delivers 80 percent reduction in power consumption while costing 50 percent less than competing solutions and at half the size. With power consumption being such a hot topic for smart phone users, these MEMS components are likely to be adopted quickly by smartphone manufacturers.

5 year old mCube is a young company and has taken in a relatively small amount of funding considering what they have been able to accomplish with it. If the technology is really as superior as being stated, then mCube will look for an IPO sooner rather than later to raise the capital to scale their business quickly or be acquired by a much larger company. Given the high number of technology success stories Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byershas has invested in over time, it’s likely that they see the same sort of disruptive potential with mCube and will only look to exit at the right price.

Zitat von Popeye82: Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources Publishes "The Rare Earth Elements Industry in Canada"
www.parl.gc.ca/Content/HOC/Committee/412/RNNR/WebDoc/WD66697…

Canada "identifies 'top rare earth projects' " - M.com - Jun 29, 2014

- F. Els -
www.mining.com/canada-identifies-top-rare-earth-projects-483…
www.parl.gc.ca/Content/HOC/Committee/412/RNNR/WebDoc/WD66697…

"Parliamentary report says half of globe's known rare earth reserves are in Canada and China's deposits could be worked out within three decades.

Canadian industry want to secure 20% of global supply by 2018. At the moment China produces some 90% of the world's rare earths – used in a variety of industries including green technology, defence systems and consumer electronics – and also consumes the bulk of global production.

In January a new industry group called Canadian Rare Earth Elements Network, was established in cooperation with Natural Resources Canada to develop and research the sector. Canada's parliament launched a study of the country's REE industry in November which was released last week.

According to the report global production of REE currently totals roughly 130,000 tonnes per year.

That equates to industry revenues at the primary level of a modest $4 billion annually. Though REE production is small in comparison to other metals and minerals, the committee noted that REEs support a manufacturing sector worth between $2 trillion and $4.8 trillion.

Director general of the industry and analyst for the Department of Natural Resources, Christiane Villemure, says in the report:

"Over the last 10 to 15 years, the world consumption of REEs has increased at 8% to 12% per annum, a trend that experts agree will continue, and may increase."

Industrial demand for certain REEs are projected to shoot up by as much as 2,600% by 2025 according to studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That compares to a 30-year historical production growth trend of roughly 5% annually.




Five elements are highlighted in the report — neodymium (Nd), Europium (Eu), Terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy) and Yttrium (Y) — due to "scarcity, high demand, and criticality in much high-tech application."

The report quotes Luisa Moreno, senior research analyst at Euro Pacific Canada, that while China supplies nearly all of the world’s heavy REE demand, its resources are diminishing significantly, with "less than 30 years’ worth of estimated supply remaining."

Canada accounts for approximately 40% to 50% of the world’s known REE reserves.

Moreno noted that $3 billion has already been invested in REE projects outside of China between 2008 and 2010. Of the 56 projects identified, half are qualified as "advanced exploration" assets.

Government officials identified 11 Canadian REE projects in the advanced exploration stage, all of which are Canadian owned. The parliamentary committee estimated that total capital expenditures required for these mines vary significantly – from $106 million to $2.5 billion.

The report notes five projects targeting production within the next five years, including Avalon Rare Metals' (TSE:AVL) Nechalacho project in the Northwest Territories; Quest Rare Minerals' (TSE:QRM) Strange Lake project and Matamec's Zeus-Kipawa joint venture in Quebec; Pele Mountain Resources' (CVE:GEM) Eco Ridge project in Ontario; and Orbite Aluminae's (TSE:ORT) Grande-Vallée property in Quebec.

According to government officials, Canada's $1 million REE research and development investment over the past three years is "relatively small" compared to other advanced nations.

Why "Are Billions of Dollars in Precious Metals Wasting Away, in Landfills Around the World?" - CT - Jun 29, 2014

- Dave Kruchinin, CEO of eCycle Best -
http://cleantechies.com/2014/06/29/why-are-billions-of-dolla…

"Mining for precious metals like gold, silver, and copper is extremely costly. Not only does it require a huge amount of energy and have a devastating impact on the environment, it also puts human life at risk.

Still, these metals are what enable our precious smartphones and tablets to work so efficiently, so we have to get them from somewhere. But what if that somewhere was old gadgets we no longer want instead of deep within the Earth?

E-waste often contains more rare metals than mined ores. Studies show e-waste has 10 to 50 times the copper content than copper ore, and a phone contains 5 to 10 times the gold content than gold ore. Harvesting these precious metals from unwanted or broken gadgets is called urban mining, and it’s growing in popularity.

BlueOak Resources, a San Francisco start-up, recently broke ground on its first “urban mining refinery,” a facility that will extract precious materials from e-waste. If all goes as planned with the Arkansas location, BlueOak will built similar refineries across the country, each one processing e-waste from the surrounding area.

If properly processed, urban mining can be extremely profitable and good for the environment at the same time. We hope that device manufacturers like Apple and Dell need to do their part by making products that are easy to disassemble, separate, and recycle.

"An international team of scientists led by researchers from the Department of Physics of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has developed a material which guides and transports a magnetic field from one location to the other, similar to how an optical fibre transports light or a hose transports water.





Magnetism is a basic element of today’s technology, such as in energy generating processes and in the storage of information in computers. And one of the essential processes in these technologies is the conduct and transfer of magnetic fields, either with the use of large transformers or in logic nanodevices.

The device designed by the researchers can be implemented at any scale, even @nanometre scale. Thus, a magnetic nanohose capable of individually controlling quantum systems could help to solve some of the current technological problems existing in quantum computing. ..."

Unorthodox Forms of Alternative Energy, Not all of these technologies will make it out of the concept stage, +many are decades away from becoming practical. What 'may seem weird today 'might just' be a reality in the future" - AltEMag - May 30, 2014

"


Alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences inherent in fossil fuel, which produces high carbon dioxide emissions, a factor in global warming and unclean air. Alternative energy is typically derived from nontraditional sources, such as compressed natural gas, solar, biofuel, hydroelectric, and wind.

There are various organizations within the academic, federal, and industrial sectors, which are performing advanced research in the field of alternative energy. Wind and solar are still more expensive than oil and coal; and these may not be the best solution for all places or uses. Therefore, new research is investigating several areas of focus across the alternative energy spectrum.

Because of the need to find abundant, cheap and efficient energy by investigating lesser-known resources, there are sources that may seem a little unusual, even ridiculous, unrealistic, and weird.

Let’s look at some of these weird forms of alternative energy, starting with tornados . Harnessing the power of a tornado could power entire cities . By pumping warm, humid air into an Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE), a chamber 650 feet wide with 300 foot tall walls, an artificial tornado can be created.




The rotation of the tornado would then power wind turbines at the chamber inlets, creating enough electricity to power a small town. Waste heat from power plants can be the source for the warm air since they typically reject more than half of the heat they generate.

One method of alternative energy might seem a bit morbid. A crematorium in the UK is using the gases released from the cremation process to warm the mourners in attendance . Normally, this energy source is wasted. The energy from cremated bodies is already being controlled, since it has to pass through filters to remove the mercury in the deceased’s fillings. The only change would be pumping that energy into the building’s heating system rather than allowing it to escape.

We go from the morbid to the yucky . Poop produces methane. Although methane is a greenhouse gas, it can be harnessed and used as a renewable source. At Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, researchers are working on a novel alternative. They've developed a state-of-the-art toilet for use in developing countries that employs microwaves to chemically alter human waste into syngas , a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. While Delft's plan to turn poop into energy may seem a little strange, drastic times call for drastic measures .




Billions of baby diapers are thrown away in landfills each year, and now a Japanese company, Super Faiths, is doing something about it. This company's recycling system pulverizes, sterilizes, and compacts diapers into flammable fluffy fuel chips for use in biomass energy generators.




In Kern County, Calif., a company called BioEnergy Solutions developed a method for extracting methane from cow excrement and converting it to a biogas fuel that's of sufficient quality to be fed into a standard natural gas pipeline. It produces 650,000 cubic feet of biogas from manure, enough to power 200,000 households

Refining animal byproducts, such as fat, by grinding them up, mixing them with water, and cooking the slop creates a biofuel. Over millions of years, the Earth broke down plant and animal material to produce the oil that we now use. This is basically a sped-up version of the natural process .

While we’re discussing the yucky, humans and animals expel urine as a form of waste, but this fluid is actually very rich in nitrogen and other chemicals, which are a source of power for microbial fuel cells that break down and convert waste into energy. NASA has been researching and developing this technology for years. In all probability, it won't be long before toilets flow into a fuel cell; instead of the sewer .

Fusing art, architecture, and renewable energy, Californian, Michael Jantzen created the Wind Shaped Pavilion.




As a lightweight fabric structure, the wind slowly and randomly rotates each of the six segments around a central open support frame. This continually alters the shape of the pavilion, while at the same time generating electrical power for its nighttime illumination . The shape of the structure starts out as a relatively symmetrical form. Then the wind begins to alter that shape randomly, with only a slim chance of ever returning to its original symmetry.

The obsession with text messaging can be annoying, but what if each of those finger taps could generate power? The concept, Push to Charge, relies on piezoelectricity, which is a fancy way of describing the way some metals generate electricity when hit.




The Push-to-Charge cell phone would feature plastic buttons sitting atop a layer of hard metal. The bottom layer would be made out of piezoelectric crystals, so that each time someone pressed a button, the hard metal directly underneath it would hit the underlying crystal like a hammer, creating a small amount of voltage. Small wires located between the layers would convey the charge to a battery for storage. Just add all the buttons required to send a single text message. Then, multiply that by the number of text messages sent each day. That's a lot of wattage. Generating power simply by typing on a keyboard or keeping in touch with your friends is a pretty good concept.

Depending on the particular coffee bean used in a brew, coffee grounds can contain as much as 20 percent oil. This oil has an unusually high oxidative stability. Subsequently, a method to remove the sulfur found in coffee biodiesel, which comes from the volcanic soils in the mountainous regions where coffee generally is grown. The resulting fuel was sufficient to meet the standards set by ASTM International , an international testing organization, for biodiesel.




Researchers estimate that if all the waste grounds generated by the world's coffee drinkers were gathered and reprocessed, the yield would amount to 2.9 million gallons of diesel fuel each year . Alternatively, the coffee grounds could be converted to fuel pellets . If all of the leftover grounds from Starbucks were reprocessed, they would produce 89,000 tons of such fuel pellets annually.

If you prefer beer to coffee, Adnams PLC, a brewer founded in 1872 created an anaerobic digester, a grass-roofed facility that takes the brewery's waste and transforms it into gas, which is sold back to the national grid.




The plant also produces liquid fertilizer. The Adnams Bio Energy's anaerobic plant in Suffolk is an excellent example of how waste can be made useful by turning it into green energy.

SPS-ALPHA (Solar Power Satellite via Arbitrarily Large Phased Array) is a novel, biomimetic approach to the challenge getting solar power from space . The idea is to construct huge platforms of tens of thousands of small elements that can deliver -remotely and affordably - thousands of megawatts; using wireless power transmission to markets on Earth.




SPS-ALPHA uses a large array of individually controlled thin-film mirrors, outfitted on the curved surface of the satellite. These movable mirrors intercept and redirect incoming sunlight toward photovoltaic cells affixed to the backside of the solar power satellite's large array. The Earth-pointing side of this large modular circular array is tiled with a collection of microwave-power transmission panels that generate the coherent, low-intensity beam of radio frequency energy and transmits that energy to Earth.

Not all of these technologies will make it out of the concept stage, and many are decades away from becoming practical. What may seem weird today might just be a reality in the future. "

New mineral discovery, in Western Australia; A unique mineral unrelated to any other has been unearthed, @Lake Cowan in Western Australia -&named 'putnisite' - MA/UoA, ADELAIDE - Apr 28, 2014

www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/new-mineral-discovery-in-wes…

" A unique mineral unrelated to any other has been unearthed at Lake Cowan in Western Australia.

Name 'putnisite', the mineral has been declared unique by Dr Peter Elliott from the University of Adelaide after thorough analysis.

"Most minerals belong to a family or small group of related minerals, or if they aren't related to other minerals they often are to a synthetic compound - but putnisite is completely unique and unrelated to anything,” Elliot said.

The new mineral occurs as tiny crystals, no more than 0.5 mm in diameter and is found on a volcanic rock.

It appears as dark pink spots on dark green and white rock which, under the microscope, appears as square, cube-like crystals.

It combines the elements strontium, calcium, chromium, sulphur, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen – in what has been described as a “very unusual combination.”

"Nature seems to be far cleverer, @dreaming up new chemicals than any researcher in a laboratory,” Elliot said.

It has yet to be determined if the new mineral will have any practical use and its name is awaiting approval by the International Mineralogical Association.

Putnisite has been named for Australian mineralogists Andrew and Christine Putnis. "

Astronomers discover diamond the size of Earth , That’s 'one massive diamond, which will never be cut, as it is 900 light-years away from our planet' - M.com/AJ/NRAO - Jun 30, 2014

Scientists have identified an 11 billion year-old diamond 900 light-years away from our home planet, one of oldest ever found by astronomers, which is said to be the size of Earth.

The diamond- star, described in a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, is one of the coldest white dwarfs researchers have discovered. In fact, it’s so cool and dim that it can’t even be seen in the overwhelming vastness of space. Even if we were able to get closer, experts still say we wouldn’t be able to see it.

But they were able to deduce the massive diamond’s presence by the way its gravity disturbs steady radio pulses coming from a spinning companion star.

“It’s a really remarkable object,” study leader David Kaplan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said in a statement from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). “These things should be out there, but because they are so dim they are very hard to find.”

When talking about stellar objects, "cold" is a relative term; this white dwarf is still burning at 2,700 degrees Celsius (4,892 degrees Fahrenheit), but that's 5,000 times cooler than the centre of our planet's sun.

This isn’t the first time scientists have found a large space diamond. In 2012, researchers discovered a planet roughly the size of two Earths that was made primarily of diamond . This one, however, is pure cut—a gleaming crystallized white dwarf just sitting out there in space. "

Chinese most clever way to deal with smog: turn it into diamonds , New technology will be tested in Beijing next year [+Video] - M.com/SR/TE, BEIJING/ROTTERDAM/SHANGHAI - Apr 29, 2014

"Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde and a team of other artists and engineers are developing a new, energy-friendly mechanism that sucks smog out of the air and transforms it into diamonds.

While in a small scale model for now, this giant sort of electronic vacuum cleaner will be tested next year in China's notoriously polluted capital, according to a press release.

The vacuum would be at a city park and would work by attracting smog particles into a tower fitted with ionic filters that charge and remove smog particles, blowing fresh air out of the equipment’s side vents. Copper coils buried underground would generate an electromagnetic field that attracts the smog particles.

“The great thing about the technology is that is safe,” Roosegaarde was quoted as saying by The Escapist. “It's already being used in hospitals and it's very energy-friendly, so to have 30,000 cubic meters of clean air purified, it only uses like 30 Watts, which is like a light bulb."

He added his invention would help by producing corridors of clean air that would allow the sunlight to shine through. The version he has planned for Beijing should have a cleaning diameter of about 50 metres, which would produce results almost immediately, he said. And the artist wants to take his plan one step further. Rather than waste all that smog, he wants to turn it into jewellery.

While the artist acknowledges his project is more of a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a viable solution to Beijing’s air pollution, he says the diamonds he could produce can be used to raise awareness.

“These [diamonds] can be used to create locally produced high-end rings. Each ring supports the cleaning of 1km3 of polluted air,” he says.

Man-made diamonds are nothing new. General Electric created precious stones in a lab in 1950s, presumably for commercial use. But it wasn’t until 1970 that the firm was able to produce gem-quality diamond crystals, their lengthy procedure made production rather unsustainable.

Roosegaarde is not new to innovative ideas either. The artist has already worked on several projects to recycle energy in unusual ways, such as a plan for a road that charges electric cars as they drive , or a floor that would generate electricity when danced on.

Energy from Agricultural Waste, "Even a small farmer could join a co-op +get in on this trend. These co-ops are growing, +are being promoted by organizations interested in furthering the cause of renewable energy" - AltEnerMag - Jun14

- Roy M. Palk, LeClairRyan -
www.altenergymag.com/emagazine/2014/06/energy-from-agricultu…

" What types of agricultural wastes provide alternative energy opportunities?

That’s the interesting thing—you’re basically talking about anything that has heat content. Officials at the U.S. Department of Energy predict that within a couple of decades, the country will be turning hundreds of millions of dry tons of ag waste into energy. We’re talking about things like corn stover, wheat straw and crop residues from barley, oats and sorghum, as well as cordwood, wood pellets, manure, grasses, weeds and more. Because of environmental regulations, there’s a lot of incentive to handle manure, in particular, in ways that benefit farmers and reduce harm to the environment. All told, the energy-producing potential is tremendous.


Can you give us a bit of background on some of the more common processes and outputs?

As is the case with just about all things related to technology, the landscape is constantly changing. Companies and universities alike are experimenting with all kinds of processes. For example, people are converting recycled wood waste into high-BTU pellets for heating all kinds of residential commercial buildings. In eastern Kentucky, I’ve been helping with a project to build a power plant fueled by nothing but waste wood. We’re already talking with the regional electrical grid about how we can sell this energy back to them. Another big area of experimentation is biogas recovery, particularly for farmers with swine operations. The basic idea is to use anaerobic digestion to break down manure in oxygen-free environments. The process yields methane- and carbon dioxide-rich biogas, which you can burn for the heat or the potential to generate power. An even-more-versatile approach is co-digestion. All that this means is you can feed several different types of organic waste into a single digester. The methane output can be even higher. You can also capture methane from anaerobic lagoons and funnel the gas right into power generators.


Why are the opportunities present now?

From the standpoint of physics, the opportunities to do this have always been there. But a few things have changed. The technology, for instance, is now catching up to the point where this can be done in a way that actually makes economic sense for farmers and utilities. Meanwhile, states all across the country are mandating that larger and larger percentages of the energy they rely on come from renewable sources. In industry jargon, this is sometimes called renewable energy standards (RPS). And of course, the feds have been tightening the noose on farm waste for years now. My belief is that we’re eventually going to hit a tipping point in which this becomes standard operating procedure in agriculture; this may even happen sooner than we think.


Do the ag-energy opportunities vary by region of the U.S.? If so, why?

They absolutely do. These processes don’t occur in a vacuum. They depend on the forces of supply and demand at several levels and those forces vary from region to region. For example, if you operate in a state with an aggressive RPS target, you’ll have higher demand for your agricultural waste and more powerful incentives to leverage that waste. If you’re in the Southeast, there’s a good chance you’ve been hit hard by the relative collapse in demand for tobacco over the decades. That means you’ve got more incentive to try to recoup some of those losses by growing something like switch-grass to sell it for energy. This might even enable you to better leverage marginal farmland. And of course in agriculture climate is always paramount. Certain crops are easier to produce depending on the region where you’re located.


What are some of the “carrots and sticks” related to these opportunities?

Well, there are a lot of both, actually. Right now, you’ve got more and more companies looking into this area and creating potential ‘carrots’ for farmers in the form of markets for their ag waste. Multinationals like Royal Dutch Shell, BP, DuPont and Chevron are increasingly interested in joint-venturing with tech firms on this. Agencies like DOE are also funding basic and applied research in this area. The recently enacted Farm Bill provides nearly $900 million in dedicated funding that is partially or wholly related to converting ag waste into energy. A lot of the perennial plants used for this process can be harvested with ordinary farm equipment. Additionally, the growing demand for renewable energy creates ‘carrots’ that encourage farmers to sell otherwise-unmarketable timber for conversion. These are trash trees that would otherwise just be cluttering up their land and gobbling soil nutrients, water and sunlight.
On the ‘stick’ side of things, the primary one is the need to conform to stricter federal regulations dealing with nitrates and phosphates. Biogas recovery systems mean that animal manure can actually make money for farmers and potentially help them avoid getting slapped with enforcement actions, which can just be a nightmare.


What regulatory agencies, state and federal, are involved?

Many agencies are involved, but the big ones are the EPA, DOE, and variously named state departments of environmental management. Actually, state officials tend to be heavily involved because of EPA’s practice of, in some circumstances, delegating its regulatory authority to state management. Typically, state officials have a better sense of what farmers are actually dealing with and are a little more sympathetic and easier to work with.


How big does the farm operation need to be to make this a feasible project to undertake?

Scale is required, either from a large single farm operation or a co-op among a group of farmers. You’re going to need aggregated manure collection, a lot of crop residue, large amounts of waste wood—the kind of volume that makes the energy conversion worthwhile. An anaerobic digester converts manure, which are volatile solids, into methane gas that is captured and burned in a generator to create electricity. So, to justify that you might need a 300-cow dairy operation to produce enough manure for roughly 50 kilowatts (kW) of electricity capacity. After the manure goes through anaerobic digesting there are solids that remain, which can be used both as fertilizer and also bedding for animals, saving the farmer from having to purchase those products. In some cases, farmers have saved over $60,000 a year in animal bedding alone. But the co-op aspect of this is important—even a small farmer could join a co-op and get in on this trend. These co-ops are growing and are being promoted by organizations interested in furthering the cause of renewable energy.


What are some of the planning components if a farmer wants to engage in energy production?

You have to understand that a single plan won’t work for everyone. One size doesn’t fit all. The key is to have a well-thought-out business plan that takes into account things like the demand in your state, the permitting and penalties in play, the volume you could generate, the cost of installing and maintaining the equipment and so forth. It does not need to be just a visceral decision to go out and do it. A sound business plan is critical.

"Global Workforce Crisis Puts $10.000.000.000.000 @Risk in World Economy, Study Says"; "By `30, the 'Potential Value Squandered Because of Labor Shortages +Surpluses' 'Could' Exceed 10 Percent of World GDP, or ~60 Percent of U.S. GDP, According to a New Report by The Boston Consulting Group" - SH/BCGP, BOSTON - Jun 30, 2014

"Workforce shortages and surpluses worldwide are becoming so acute that they threaten $10 trillion of world GDP over the next one to two decades, according to a new report being released today by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

This projected value loss stems from acute shortages and unrelenting surpluses that are being exacerbated by a range of factors, from anemic economic growth and aging populations to low birth rates and restrictive immigration policies.

BCG examined workforce supply-and-demand dynamics in 25 major economies -- including the G20 -- to forecast the extent of labor shortages and surpluses for 2020 and 2030. Overall, by 2020, many countries will still be experiencing a surplus. But by 2030, this surplus will for most have turned into a massive shortfall, according to the report, The Global Workforce Crisis: $10 Trillion at Risk.

"The consequences for many nations' growth and competitiveness are serious," says Rainer Strack, a BCG senior partner and a coauthor of the study. "Governments, companies, and other institutions must begin to take action now if they hope to avert the potentially long-lasting damage to national and regional economies, as well as to the global economy."

The impact of the labor imbalances worldwide will be neither simultaneous nor uniform. Here are some of the crippling shortages and chronic surpluses that the world will face:

Germany will see a shortage of up to 2.4 million workers by 2020 and up to 10 million by 2030 -- 23 percent of the labor supply. The country will not reach its historical GDP growth rates unless it takes action soon.

Brazil will have a shortage of up to 8.5 million workers in 2020; by 2030, that figure could increase nearly fivefold to 40.9 million people -- at 33 percent of the labor supply, more than 10 percent worse than Germany's and the highest projected 2030 shortage of the 25 nations studied.

China is expected to have a surplus of 55.2 million to 75.3 million workers by 2020. By 2030, that surplus could reverse sharply, turning into a shortage of up to 24.5 million people.

The U.S. is expected to have a surplus of between 17.1 million and 22 million people in 2020. By 2030, it will still face a surplus -- at a minimum, 7.4 million.

France, Italy, and the UK, all projected to have single-digit surpluses in 2020, face labor shortages by the subsequent decade.

South Africa faces the gloomiest prospects, with a projected surplus of 36 percent in 2020 that's expected to grow to 39 percent by 2030.


The problems associated with labor surpluses are well known. High unemployment cuts the tax base and raises the cost of social services while raising the risk of social instability. In the long term, surpluses can lead to the attrition of skills and ultimately reduce an economy's competitiveness and attractiveness to investors.

But the problems with shortages can be equally harmful to the economy because job openings cannot be filled. This fuels wage inflation and, above all, impedes business growth and competitiveness.

The authors used two scenarios for GDP -- and labor -- productivity-growth rates over two periods (the past 10 years and the past 20 years) to forecast two different future scenarios. They calculated the size of the labor force that each country would need to keep GDP and productivity growth for 2020 and 2030 at historical levels.

The report features a number of tables and charts, including graphs comparing labor supply-and-demand trends among countries within major geographic regions and a table benchmarking key labor-supply levers across the 25 countries. (See Exhibit 6 from the report, which highlights the projected imbalances.)

In addition, the authors outline the basic levers and interventions that governments can put in motion to mitigate the imbalances, such as modifying the official retirement age, liberalizing immigration policies, and encouraging greater labor force participation by specific demographic segments.

The Global Workforce Crisis: $10 Trillion at Risk is the first in a series of reports on this issue. Subsequent reports will break down the surplus and shortage numbers by education levels to reveal in greater detail the severity of global labor imbalances. They will also illustrate the consequences for companies.

"A country may appear to have a perfect balance of supply and demand," observes Strack, who is a coleader of BCG's human resources work within the firm's People & Organization practice. "But after breaking down the numbers, we might find that it actually has a surplus of 1 million people with a primary education but a shortfall of 1 million with a secondary education. This kind of de-averaging reveals the crucial challenge ahead for governments and businesses. Both will need far more sophisticated tools to analyze supply and demand and devise solutions."

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.

REX Bionics - "one giant leap for mankind" - Jun 17, 2014

- REX Bionics (RXB) has developed a world's first: a Robotic EXoskeleton, or REX, that offers spinal cord injury victims a chance to walk. The potential markets for REX are huge: there are 2.7m wheelchair users in the US (50% of which are caused by spinal cord injury) and a similar sized market in Europe.

RXB IPO'd in May 2014, successfully raising £10 million gross (at 180p), giving the company the resources to market to the rehabilitation market: the company launched its device for this audience (REX Rehab) earlier this year, and with the funds raised, will now be launching a marketing campaign focusing initially on the US and European rehab markets.

The company also has plans to roll out a 2nd-generation Personal REX device for home or workplace use (REX 3 Personal) in the latter half of 2016.

Our DCF analysis of a successful commercialisation of REX suggests a business that could potentially be valued at up to £40m, against the current market cap of £26 million ...-

Roughly $80.000.000.000 Wasted, on Power, for Networked Devices - CT/YE360/IEA - Jul 3, 2014

www.iea.org/publications/freepublications/publication/name-4…
http://cleantechies.com/2014/07/03/roughly-80-billion-wasted…

"The world’s 14 billion online electronic devices, such as modems, printers, game consoles, and cable boxes, waste around $80 billion in electricity annually because of inefficient technology, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).


In 2013, networked devices consumed around 616 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity, with most of that used in standby mode. Roughly 400 TWh — equivalent to the combined annual electricity consumption of the United Kingdom and Norway — was wasted because of inefficient technology.




The problem will worsen by 2020, the agency projects, with an estimated $120 billion wasted as devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, and thermostats become networked. Much of the problem boils down to inefficient “network standby,” or maintaining a network connection while in standby mode. Most network-enabled devices draw as much power in this mode as when fully active, the report notes.

Using today’s best technology could cut energy consumption by 65 percent, the IEA said, and applying better efficiency measures over the coming years could save 600 TWh. That’s equivalent to closing 200 standard 500-megawatt coal-fired power plants, which would cut emissions by 600 million metric tons of CO2, the report says. "

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.

Germany arrests intelligence employee, suspects he spied for U.S. - SH/UPI, BERLIN - Jul 4, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/07/04/germany-ar…

"An employee of BND, Germany's intelligence agency, was arrested on suspicion of spying for the United States, the German federal prosecutor's office confirmed.

The suspect was identified by German media only as male and age 31, and was arrested on suspicion he attempted to obtain details regarding a German parliamentary committee investigating alleged U.S. espionage in Germany. A report in German news magazine Der Spiegel claimed the suspect provided secret documents to a U.S. contact.

In a 2013 scandal that caused friction between the two countries, the U.S. National Security Agency was accused of tapping telephones, including that of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Merkel was told of the arrest, her spokesman said. "

EPA Proposes New Standards for Landfills, Hopes to Reduce Methane Emissions - ENN/EPA - Jul 2, 2014
http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/0/A62338C1569BC4698…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47548

"As part of the President's Climate Action Plan — Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing updates to its air standards for new municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. These updates would require certain landfills to capture additional landfill gas, which would reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and help further reduce pollution that harms public health.


Non-hazardous waste from homes, business and institutions ends up in municipal solid waste landfills, where it decomposes and breaks down to form landfill gas, which includes carbon dioxide, a number of air toxics and methane. Methane has a global warming potential 25 times that of carbon dioxide.

"Reducing methane emissions is a powerful way to take action on climate change," said Administrator Gina McCarthy. "This latest step from the President's methane strategy builds on our progress to date and takes steps to cut emissions from landfills through common-sense standards."

This proposal would require new MSW landfills subject to the rule to begin controlling landfill gas at a lower emissions threshold than currently required. Under the proposal, landfills would capture two-thirds of their methane and air toxics emissions by 2023 — 13 percent more than required under current rules. EPA estimates the net nationwide annual costs of complying with the additional requirements in the proposed rule would be $471,000 in 2023.

Today, methane accounts for nearly 9 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane in the country, accounting for 18 percent of methane emissions in 2012. Regulatory and voluntary programs, including the agency's Landfill Methane Outreach Program, have helped reduce emissions from landfills by 30 percent from 1990 to 2012. However, without additional actions, methane emissions are projected to increase through 2030.

The EPA has also issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) seeking broad public input on whether and how to update current emissions guidelines for existing landfills to further reduce their emissions, including methane. The agency is considering updating those guidelines based on a several factors, including significant changes that have occurred in the landfill industry since the original guidelines were issued in 1996. Nearly 1,000 MSW landfills in the U.S. currently are subject to either the 1996 emission guidelines for existing landfills or the 1996 NSPS for new landfills. "

"Green-chemistry researchers at McGill University have discovered a way to use water as a solvent in one of the reactions most widely used to synthesize chemical products and pharmaceuticals.


The findings, published June 26 in Nature Communications, mark a potential milestone in efforts to develop organic reactions in water.

Chao-Jun Li and Feng Zhou of McGill’s Department of Chemistry report that they have discovered a catalytic system which for the first time allows direct metal-mediated reactions between aryl halides and carbonyl compounds in water.

For the past two decades, researchers have been exploring ways to do away with chemists’ traditional reliance on non-renewable petrochemical feedstocks and toxic solvents. One important method has involved replacing the toxic solvents used in metal-mediated reactions with water – something that was previously considered impossible.

While researchers at McGill and elsewhere have succeeded in using water in metal-mediated reactions between carbonyl compounds and other halides, attempts to do so for the most challenging reaction, between aryl halides and carbonyl compounds, have never worked – uuuntil nooooow . ..."

www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2013/11/08/pioneering…



Pioneering's 'Safe-T-element Cooking Fire Prevention Technology' Is Now Ready, for the General Public; An electric coiled stovetop has changed Little, if @all, in the last 90 years. Stove top cooking fires are the number one cause of household fires in North America(~44% of all household fires, as per the National Fire Protection Association -this is up from 20% in `80). Electric stovetops are still predominant, +the leading cause of these fires by 3 to 1. Until nooooow, the STE's patented temperature limiting control(TLC) technology, engineered to help prevent stovetop cooking fires(professionally installed on >100.000 stovetops, without a single stovetop cooking fire reported) has only been available to large multi-residential customers(affordable, senior, university +military housing providers), because the technology required a professional installation. This new easy to install consumer version of the STE delivers all of the benefits of the original STE, except that this new consumer version looks even more upscale +no longer requires a professional installation. Because the STE's 'multi-patented TLC technology' is now built right into the burner elements, anyone can now install the technology very easily, in <5 minutes -take the existing element out +slide the new one in. This new version of the product will not only help prevent cooking fires, but it will give an electric coiled stovetop +kitchen a designer look, cook food more evenly +thoroughly, is easier to clean +maintain, but can aaaaalso help reduce electricity +insurance costs. This new "smart" technology is a 'must have product' for electric coil stove owners(the majority of stovetop types in N.A.). For those with young families, teenagers +/or aging parents this product not only delivers superior design, performance +savings, but mooooost importantly it will help deliver peace of mind, for all caregivers - Feb 25, 2014

Japanese gold leaf artists worked on the nanoscale - R&DM/S/APC/UoL, LISBON - Jul 2, 2014
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00339-014-8531-z
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/07/japanese-gold-leaf-artists-worked…

"Ancient Japanese gold leaf artists were truly masters of their craft. An analysis of six ancient Namban paper screens show that these artifacts are gilded with gold leaf that was hand-beaten to the nanometer scale. Study leader Sofia Pessanha of the Atomic Physics Center of the University of Lisbon in Portugal believes that the x-ray fluorescence technique her team used in the analysis could also be used to date other artworks without causing any damage to them. The results are published in Springer’s journal Applied Physics A: Material Science and Processing.

Gold leaf refers to a very thin sheet made from a combination of gold and other metals. It has almost no weight and can only be handled by specially designed tools. Even though the ancient Egyptians were probably the first to gild artwork with it, the Japanese have long been credited as being able to produce the thinnest gold leaf in the world. In Japanese traditional painting, decorating with gold leaf is named Kin-haku, and the finest examples of this craft are the Namban folding screens, or byobu. These were made during the late Momoyama (around 1573 to 1603) and early Edo (around 1603 to 1868) periods.

Pessanha’s team examined six screens that are currently either part of a museum collection or in a private collection in Portugal. Four screens belong to the Momoyama period, and two others were decorated during the early Edo period. The researchers used various x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy techniques to test the thickness and characteristics of the gold layers. The method is completely non-invasive, no samples needed to be taken, and therefore the artwork was not damaged in any way. Also, the apparatus needed to perform these tests is portable and can be done outside of a laboratory.

The gilding was evaluated by taking the attenuation or weakening of the different characteristic lines of gold leaf layers into account. The methodology was tested to be suitable for high grade gold alloys with a maximum of 5% influence of silver, which is considered negligible.

The two screens from the early Edo period were initially thought to be of the same age. However, Pessanha’s team found that gold leaf on a screen kept at Museu Oriente in Lisbon was thinner, hence was made more recently. This is in line with the continued development of the gold beating techniques carried out in an effort to obtain ever thinner gold leaf.

“This simple comparison allowed establishing a timeline between the manufacture of two pieces attributed to the same period, proving that X-ray fluorescence techniques can be an important asset in the dating of artworks,” says Pessanha. "

New NIST metamaterial 'gives light a one-way ticket' - R&DM/NIST/N - Jul 1, 2014
www.nist.gov/cnst/light-070114.cfm
www.nist.gov/cnst/nanofab/index.cfm
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/07/new-nist-metamaterial-gives-light…
www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140617/ncomms5141/full/ncomms5141…

"The light-warping structures known as metamaterials have a new trick in their ever-expanding repertoire. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a silver, glass and chromium nanostructure that can all but stop visible light cold in one direction while giving it a pass in the other.* The device could someday play a role in optical information processing and in novel biosensing devices.

In recent years, scientists have designed nanostructured materials that allow microwave or infrared light to propagate in only one direction. Such structures hold potential for applications in optical communication—for instance, they could be integrated into photonic chips that split or combine signals carried by light waves. But, until now, no one had achieved one-way transmission of visible light, because existing devices could not be fabricated at scales small enough to manipulate visible light's short wavelengths. (So-called "one-way mirrors" don't really do this—they play tricks with relative light levels.)

To get around that roadblock, NIST researchers Ting Xu and Henri Lezec combined two light-manipulating nanostructures: a multi-layered block of alternating silver and glass sheets and metal grates with very narrow spacings.



- Schematic of NIST's one-way metamaterial. Forward travelling green light (left) or red light passes through the multilayered block and comes out at an angle due to diffraction off of grates on the surface of the material. Light travelling in the opposite direction (right) is almost completely filtered by the metamaterial and can't pass through. -


The silver-glass structure is an example of a "hyperbolic" metamaterial, which treats light differently depending on which direction the waves are traveling. Because the structure's layers are only tens of nanometers thick—much thinner than visible light's 400 to 700 nm wavelengths—the block is opaque to visible light coming in from outside. Light can, however, propagate inside the material within a narrow range of angles.

Xu and Lezec used thin-film deposition techniques at the NIST NanoFab user facility to build a hyperbolic metamaterial block. Guided by computer simulations, they fabricated the block out of 20 extremely thin alternating layers of silicon dioxide glass and silver. To coax external light into the layered material, the researchers added to the block a set of chromium grates with narrow, sub-wavelength spacings chosen to bend incoming red or green light waves just enough to propagate inside the block. On the other side of the block, the researchers added another set of grates to kick light back out of the structure, although angled away from its original direction.

While the second set of grates let light escape the material, their spacing was slightly different from that of the first grates. As a result, the reverse-direction grates bent incoming light either too much or not enough to propagate inside the silver-glass layers. Testing their structures, the researchers found that around 30 times more light passed through in the forward direction than in reverse, a contrast larger than any other achieved thus far with visible light.

Combining materials that could be made using existing methods was the key to achieving one-way transmission of visible light, Lezec says. Without the intervening silver-and-glass blocks, the grates would have needed to be fabricated and aligned more precisely than is possible with current techniques. "This three-step process actually relaxes the fabrication constraints," Lezec says.

In the future, the new structure could be integrated into photonic chips that process information with light instead of electricity. Lezec thinks the device also could be used to detect tiny particles for biosensing applications. Like the chrome grates, nanoscale particles also can deflect light to angles steep enough to travel through the hyperbolic material and come out the other side, where the light would be collected by a detector. Xu has run simulations suggesting such a scheme could provide high-contrast particle detection and is hoping to test the idea soon. "I think it's a cool device where you would be able to sense the presence of a very small particle on the surface through a dramatic change in light transmission," says Lezec. "

"Inspired by nature, researchers create tougher metal materials" - R&DM/CAoS, IoM/MRL/NCSU/PNAS, NORTH CAROLINA - Jul 2, 2014

www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/04/30/1324069111.abstract

"Drawing inspiration from the structure of bones and bamboo, researchers have found that by gradually changing the internal structure of metals they can make stronger, tougher materials that can be customized for a wide variety of applications—from body armor to automobile parts.


“If you looked at metal under a microscope you’d see that it is composed of millions of closely-packed grains,” says Yuntian Zhu, a professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and senior author of two papers on the new work. “The size and disposition of those grains affect the metal’s physical characteristics.”



- This image illustrates the gradient structure concept. Image: Yuntian Zhu -


“Having small grains on the surface makes the metal harder, but also makes it less ductile—meaning it can’t be stretched very far without breaking,” says Xiaolei Wu, a professor of materials science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mechanics, and lead author of the two papers. “But if we gradually increase the size of the grains lower down in the material, we can make the metal more ductile. You see similar variation in the size and distribution of structures in a cross-section of bone or a bamboo stalk. In short, the gradual interface of the large and small grains makes the overall material stronger and more ductile, which is a combination of characteristics that is unattainable in conventional materials.

“We call this a ‘gradient structure,’ and you can use this technique to customize a metal’s characteristics,” Wu adds.

Wu and Zhu collaborated on research that tested the gradient structure concept in a variety of metals, including copper, iron, nickel and stainless steel. The technique improved the metal’s properties in all of them.

The research team also tested the new approach in interstitial free (IF) steel, which is used in some industrial applications.

If conventional IF steel is made strong enough to withstand 450 megapascals (MPa) of stress, it has very low ductility—the steel can only be stretched to less than 5% of its length without breaking. That makes it unsafe. Low ductility means a material is susceptible to catastrophic failure, such as suddenly snapping in half. Highly ductile materials can stretch, meaning they’re more likely to give people time to respond to a problem before total failure.

By comparison, the researchers created an IF steel with a gradient structure; it was strong enough to handle 500 MPa and ductile enough to stretch to 20% of its length before failing.

The researchers are also interested in using the gradient structure approach to make materials more resistant to corrosion, wear and fatigue.

“We think this is an exciting new area for materials research because it has a host of applications and it can be easily and inexpensively incorporated into industrial processes,” Wu says. "

Muscle-powered bio-bots walk, on command - R&DM/UoI/NAoS/P, ILLIONOIS - Jul 2, 2014
http://news.illinois.edu/news/14/0630biobots2_RashidBashir.h…
www.rdmag.com/news/2014/07/muscle-powered-bio-bots-walk-comm…

"Engineers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign demonstrated a class of walking “bio-bots” powered by muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses, giving researchers unprecedented command over their function. The group published its work in the online early edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.


“Biological actuation driven by cells is a fundamental need for any kind of biological machine you want to build,” said study leader Rashid Bashir, Abel Bliss Professor and head of bioengineering at the U. of I. “We’re trying to integrate these principles of engineering with biology in a way that can be used to design and develop biological machines and systems for environmental and medical applications. Biology is tremendously powerful, and if we can somehow learn to harness its advantages for useful applications, it could bring about a lot of great things.”



- University of Illinois researchers have developed tiny muscle-powered “bio-bots,” small biological machines that can be controlled with an electric current. -


Bashir’s group has been a pioneer in designing and building bio-bots, less than a centimeter in size, made of flexible 3-D printed hydrogels and living cells. Previously, the group demonstrated bio-bots that “walk” on their own, powered by beating heart cells from rats. However, heart cells constantly contract, denying researchers control over the bot’s motion. This makes it difficult to use heart cells to engineer a bio-bot that can be turned on and off, sped up or slowed down.

The new bio-bots are powered by a strip of skeletal muscle cells that can be triggered by an electric pulse. This gives the researchers a simple way to control the bio-bots and opens the possibilities for other forward design principles, so engineers can customize bio-bots for specific applications.

“Skeletal muscles cells are very attractive because you can pace them using external signals,” Bashir said. “For example, you would use skeletal muscle when designing a device that you wanted to start functioning when it senses a chemical or when it received a certain signal. To us, it’s part of a design toolbox. We want to have different options that could be used by engineers to design these things.”

The design is inspired by the muscle-tendon-bone complex found in nature. There is a backbone of 3-D printed hydrogel, strong enough to give the bio-bot structure but flexible enough to bend like a joint. Two posts serve to anchor a strip of muscle to the backbone, like tendons attach muscle to bone, but the posts also act as feet for the bio-bot.

A bot’s speed can be controlled by adjusting the frequency of the electric pulses. A higher frequency causes the muscle to contract faster, thus speeding up the bio-bot’s progress as seen in this video.

“It's only natural that we would start from a bio-mimetic design principle, such as the native organization of the musculoskeletal system, as a jumping-off point,” said graduate student Caroline Cvetkovic, co-first author of the paper. “This work represents an important first step in the development and control of biological machines that can be stimulated, trained, or programmed to do work. It's exciting to think that this system could eventually evolve into a generation of biological machines that could aid in drug delivery, surgical robotics, 'smart' implants, or mobile environmental analyzers, among countless other applications.”

Next, the researchers will work to gain even greater control over the bio-bots’ motion, like integrating neurons so the bio-bots can be steered in different directions with light or chemical gradients. On the engineering side, they hope to design a hydrogel backbone that allows the bio-bot to move in different directions based on different signals. Thanks to 3-D printing, engineers can explore different shapes and designs quickly. Bashir and colleagues even plan to integrate a unit into undergraduate lab curriculum so that students can design different kinds of bio-bots.

“The goal of 'building with biology' is not a new one—tissue engineering researchers have been working for many years to reverse engineer native tissue and organs, and this is very promising for medical applications,” said graduate student Ritu Raman, co-first author of the paper. “But why stop there? We can go beyond this by using the dynamic abilities of cells to self-organize and respond to environmental cues to forward engineer non-natural biological machines and systems.

“The idea of doing forward engineering with these cell-based structures is very exciting,” Bashir said. “Our goal is for these devices to be used as autonomous sensors. We want it to sense a specific chemical and move towards it, then release agents to neutralize the toxin, for example. Being in control of the actuation is a big step forward toward that goal.”

The National Science Foundation supported this work through a Science and Technology Center (Emergent Behavior of Integrated Cellular Systems) grant, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Georgia Institute of Technology and other partner institutions. Mechanical science and engineering professor Taher Saif was also a co-author. Bashir also is affiliated with the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, the department of electrical and computer engineering and of mechanical science and engineering, Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory and the Institute for Genomic Biology at the U. of I.

Technology " "could" enable all crops to take nitrogen, from the air" - R&DM/UoN, NOTTHINGHAM - Jul 26, 2013
www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/pressreleases/2013/july/world-chan…
www.rdmag.com/news/2013/07/technology-could-enable-all-crops…
www.azotictechnologies.com

"A major new technology has been developed by the University of Nottingham, which could enable the world’s crops to take nitrogen from the air rather than expensive and environmentally damaging fertilisers.


Nitrogen fixation, the process by which nitrogen is converted to ammonia, is vital for plants to survive and grow. However, only a very small number of plants, most notably legumes (such as peas, beans and lentils) have the ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere with the help of nitrogen fixing bacteria. The vast majority of plants have to obtain nitrogen from the soil, and for most crops currently being grown across the world, this also means a reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer.

Professor Edward Cocking, director of the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Crop Nitrogen Fixation, has developed a unique method of putting nitrogen-fixing bacteria into the cells of plant roots. His major breakthrough came when he found a specific strain of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in sugar cane which he discovered could intracellularly colonize all major crop plants. This groundbreaking development potentially provides every cell in the plant with the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. The implications for agriculture are enormous as this new technology can provide much of the plant’s nitrogen needs.

A leading world expert in nitrogen and plant science, Cocking has long recognized that there is a critical need to reduce nitrogen pollution caused by nitrogen based fertilizers. Nitrate pollution is a major problem as is also the pollution of the atmosphere by ammonia and oxides of nitrogen.

In addition, nitrate pollution is a health hazard and also causes oxygen-depleted “dead zones” in our waterways and oceans. A recent study estimates that that the annual cost of damage caused by nitrogen pollution across Europe is £60 billion—£280 billion a year.

Speaking about the technology, which is known as ‘N-Fix’, Cocking said: “Helping plants to naturally obtain the nitrogen they need is a key aspect of World Food Security. The world needs to unhook itself from its ever increasing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilisers produced from fossil fuels with its high economic costs, its pollution of the environment and its high energy costs.”

N-Fix is neither genetic modification nor bioengineering. It is a naturally occurring nitrogen fixing bacteria which takes up and uses nitrogen from the air. Applied to the cells of plants (intracellular) via the seed, it provides every cell in the plant with the ability to fix nitrogen. Plant seeds are coated with these bacteria in order to create a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship and naturally produce nitrogen

N-Fix is a natural nitrogen seed coating that provides a sustainable solution to fertilizer overuse and nitrogen pollution. According to Cocking, it is environmentally friendly and can be applied to all crops. Over the last 10 years, the University of Nottingham has conducted a series of extensive research programs which have established proof of principal of the technology in the laboratory, growth rooms and glasshouses.

Dr. Susan Huxtable, director of intellectual property commercialisation at the University of Nottingham, believes that the N-Fix technology has significant implications for agriculture. She said: “There is a substantial global market for the N-Fix technology, as it can be applied globally to all crops. N-Fix has the power to transform agriculture, while at the same time offering a significant cost benefit to the grower through the savings that they will make in the reduced costs of fertilisers. It is a great example of how University research can have a world-changing impact.”

The N-Fix technology has been licensed by the University of Nottingham to Azotic Technologies Ltd to develop and commercialise N-Fix globally on its behalf for all crop species.

Azotic is now working on field trials in order to produce robust efficacy data. This will be followed by seeking regulatory approval for N-Fix initially in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada and Brazil, with more countries to follow. It is anticipated that the N-Fix technology will be commercially available within the next two to three years. For details about the commercial opportunities for N-Fix, visit Azotic Technologies Ltd.

Run-of-River Hydropower "Set For Big Gains, Turbine Maker 'Predicts' " - CT/YE360 - Apr 23, 2014
http://cleantechnica.com/2014/04/21/run-river-hydro-may-expa…
http://cleantechies.com/2014/04/23/run-river-hydropower-set-…

"A type of hydroelectric technology known as “run-of-river” hydropower is set to grow 10-fold over the next decade, potentially becoming a $1.4 billion industry, according to Dutch turbine maker Tocardo International BV. Run-of-river hydropower stations redirect part of a waterway through a diversion to spin turbines and generate electricity.

Run-of-river is considered a more benign type of hydropower than large dam projects because it is a smaller-scale technology that doesn’t create large upstream reservoirs that flood ecosystems and disrupt a river’s natural flow.

Some conservation groups are concerned that problems with migratory fish passage and other environmental issues could outweigh the power-generating potential of run-of-river hydro projects. Tocardo notes, however, that flow monitoring and ecosystem protection strategies, such as fish ladders, are an important part of run-of-river hydropower deployment. The company implemented its first project to harness tidal streams at Den Oever, Holland, and it has been generating power for five years. "

(BA) have bumped the record for strongest superconductor to 17.6 Tesla (T), breaking the previous held record by 0.36 T, or roughly 2.1 percent. While that may not sound like much, it's the first increase in the mark in more than a decade, with the last record (17.24 T) set in 2003.

The new superconductor is about 550,000 times stronger than the Earth's relatively low-density field, about 3,500 times the density of a fridge magnet, and over the twice as strong as the CMS Magnet of the Large Hadron Collider. Previously, even small bumps have led to new commercialization prospects for superconductors. And given the well-documented and carefully thought out manufacturing process, this study has given those looking to commercialize a pretty clear roadmap.


I. Superconductors -- The Road to Discovery

Superconductivity is a phase transition that causes electrical resistance to reduce to zero, as the title suggests. The phase transition occurs due to quantum effects, but there's a catch -- it can only operate in very pure, homogenous materials and in most known superconductors is only observed at very low temperatures.

Most metals react to form oxides and other compounds. A notable exception is mercury, which behaves somewhat like a noble gas due to its filled electron shell. As a result, mercury forms weak bonds and is relatively easy to extract in pure elemental form. When chilled to 4K it starts to superconduct.




To get there you need something to cool to such a low temperature, which required the invention of the refrigeration cycle. Gases when they are throttled -- allowed to expand in volume in order to reduce pressure -- see an increase in entropy (disorder) and a decrease in temperature, if the throttling is done in a very well-insulated system. This is the Joule–Thomson effect. The cooled gas can then be used to cool another substance -- like your food.

The catch is that you have to expand the gas at below a certain temperature -- its so called "inversion temperature" (Ti), where the gas begins to behave ideally. For any given gas, this temperature is equal to about 27/4th of the critical temperature (TC), the temperature above which liquid and gas coexist at the same density to form a homogeneous single-phase fluid.

For diatomic nitrogen at standard pressure (N2 @ 1 atm), Ti = 621 K, or a little more than twice as hot as room temperature (273.14 K). For diatomic oxygen (O2 @ 1 atm), Ti = 764 K [source]. So at room temperature air -- composed primarily of oxygen and nitrogen -- can be directly compressed and expanded to make it a liquid and provide cooling.


II. Cooler Than Ice

But where things get tricky is helium. Its inversion temperature is 51 K. But scientists devised a way around that -- the Hampson–Linde cycle. The Curious Physicist has a good overview of how this technology works -- but in short the key trick is to just do basically everything you'd do with the standard Siemens cycle except it's all done on a vapor, which is allowed to slowly liquify in one part of the cycle.

The method was first devised independently by not one, but two researchers in 1895 -- German Professor Carl von Linde of Technische Hochschule München (Univ. of Munich) and William Hampson, a UK lawyer turned self-educated scientist and engineer.

A little over a decade after Hampson–Linde cycle came on the scene in the lab, they became available to other researchers. In 1908 a Dutch physics professor by the name of Professor Heike Kamerlingh Onnes began to experiment with the idea of liquifying helium -- which has a super-cold temperature of around 4 K (with the "around" bit being due to isotopal impurity). Working in his lab at the University of Leiden he quickly succeeded in becoming the first to liquify helium, recording a temperature of around 4.2 K sometime in 1908.

What he would witness two years later, in 1911, was an amazing, if accidental discovery. Mercury is in liquid form at room temperature, but freezes at ~234 K. Like all metals the resistance decreases as temperature decreases. But in 1911 there was still a lively debate among physicists over whether the conductivity reached some non-zero minima at absolute zero temperature -- as the slope of the resistance vs. temperature plot would suggest. Others believed that the resistance would drop sharply to zero as you approached absolute zero.

The helium cooling provided a perfect means to solidify a sample of supercooled metal mercury in order to find out which hypothesis was correct. But at 4.2 K something even more remarkable was witnessed -- the sample showed no electrical resistance at all, something no one had predicted.


In his lab notebook he wrote:

Mercury has passed into a new state, which on account of its extraordinary electrical properties may be called the superconductive state.


Recognizing the importance, in 1911 he published his discovery [PDF] (it's a good read -- especially the part where he recognizes a young Albert Einstein's Planck-vibrator theories were key to the phenomena he was witnessing). In 1913, for the work he was awarded the Noble Prize in physics. His student Professor Willem Hendrik Keesom -- who he groomed as his successor -- was the first to solidify helium in 1926, the same year his mentor passed away.

The liquification of helium and Professor Onnes' pioneering findings were intriguing, but the only immediate discovery was the superconductance of lead in 1913. These discoveries shed light on one early promise -- magnetic field generation. Zero resistance is one properties of superconductors that has led to commercialization. Current passing through a wire loop creates a magnetic field, a kind of a nonpermanent magnet called a solenoid.

With superconductors you can channel vast amounts of current through the material. You're only limited by the creation of thermal instabilities that can heat and melt a material. Hence superconductors are today used in most of the world's most powerful magnets, including the CMS magnet used in the LHC experiment, the world's strongest magnet.


III. Type II Superconductors, High Temperature Superconducting, and Magnetic Field Storage

A discovery in 1933 by Professor Fritz Walther Meissner and another German scientist -- Robert Ochsenfeld -- discovered the so-called "Meissner effect" -- which holds part of the key to a second kind of superconductivity's commercialization and the one that's directly relevant to the University of Cambridge team's new work.

The potential of the Meissner effect was fully understood nearly a decade layer. In 1941, niobium nitride was found to superconduct at 16 K. Researchers would later discover that this material differed from the lead and mercury pure metal superconductors in another way; it could store magnetic fields. The previously discovered superconductors resisted weak magnetic fields. When they were exposed to a very strong magnetic field, they underwent a phase transition and broke down.

NbN was a little different. It would resist weak fields, but as the field strength intensified, it formed so-called "magnetic vortices" trapping the field. This was incredibly important as it meant that superconductors could store magnetic energy on a thin layer non-superconducting phase on their surface. The only catch was that if you exposed this kind of superconductor to progressively stronger magnetic fields, it would reach a point where eventually superconductivity broke down as it did in lead and mercury.

Soviet physics Professor Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov theorized the existence of Type I and Type II superconductors. Type I were the non-magnetic ones like solid lead or mercury. Type II were the ones capable of storing moderately strong magnetic fields on their surface, like NbN. The theory he applied actually predated the discovery of NbN, so the neat part here was that physicists actually predicted the possibility of these substances before they discovered them.

Superconductors began to see commercial applications in the 1960s and 1970s and a number of compounds and elemental metals were found to superconduct. In 1986 it was discovered that cuprate oxides doped with certain other metals, including rare earth metals, were capable of acting as Type II superconductors at much higher temperatures. The first such superconductor to be found was cuprate lanthanum barium copper oxide (BCO) La2-xBaxCuO4 which at a Tc of 35 K shattered the previous record of 23 K.

The race was on, and since even higher temperature cuprate oxides in this class have been found. In a sort of beautiful symmetry the current record holder is actually a mercury derived BCO -- HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+x. It superconducts at below 135 K at ambient (standard) pressure, or at 153 K if you crank the pressure up to 150 kilobar (roughly 148,000 times standard pressure).

In 2008 a team claimed to see superconduction at Tc=185.6 K (-125.6 ºF) in (Sn1.0Pb0.5In0.5)Ba4Tm5Cu7O20 under a much lower pressure -- 1.000 to 1.250 kilobars. However, claims regarding that indium superconductor remain controversial.

While much glory has been awarded in the temperature race as scientists continue to try to find a room temperature superconductor (or at least one capable of superconducting at the temperature of frozen water), others have focused on commercializing the strengths of Type II superconductors -- lossless current transmission, magnetic field generation, and magnetic field storage.


IV. All That Glitters Isn't Gold, But This Superconductor is (Partially, at Least)

The Cambridge team focused their efforts on the latter application. Their formulation uses a slightly different kind of BCO superconductor is made of gadolinium barium copper oxide (GdBCO) doped with bits of AgO2 -- gold oxide.

Like all BCO superconductors, the metal oxides act as a superconducting quantum lattice at low temperatures, with the other compounds (typically barium and rare earth metals) acting as spacers.

The progress of the superconductor was supervised by Cambridge Professor Yun-Hua Shi -- an expert in the field. Professor David Cardwell led the overall design and testing effort and was the senior author of a paper on the work. Professor John Durrell -- a Cambridge research associate -- was the first author of the paper.

A whopping total of 8 other researchers also contributed to the study and the paper on it. Among them were a researcher from Boeing (the company who also cofunded the study) and FSU Professor Eric Hellstrom. The growth, assembly of the finished superconductor structures, and testing was performed at FSU's National High Field Magnet Laboratory.

To coax their formulation into reaching the record field strength, the team first used an unusually high gold percentage -- 15 percent by weight. This allows for an increase in so-called "flux-pinning centers" in the material. Prof. Shi describes:

The development of effective pinning sites in GdBCO has been key to this success.


Samples of the carefully controlled metal mix were grown using top-seeded melt growth, which preserves single grains of metal, capable of storing much stronger fields. Metal grain crystals were machined into discs 3 mm thick (about one-third as thick as that smartphone you might have in your pocket) and 24 mm in diameter. Two discs were stacked with measurement equipment in between.

Aside from the extra gold and growth technique the other trick to breaking the record involved heating a stainless steel 304 ring and affixing it around the stack. That techniqued allowed a reinforcing prestress of 250 megapascals (MPa) (2500 bar, or roughly 2500 times standard pressure).


V. Storing Over 500,000 Times the Earth's Magnetic Field in Two Tiny Metal Discs

The researchers then set out to find how much field the construct could store. At 28 K the team exposed the samples to a field strength of 16 Tesla. When the field was shut off one sample managed to retain a field strength of 15.4 T, while the other cracked, leading to it storing a weaker 10 T.

Looking to get a higher storage, they bumped the temperature next down to 17.6 K. That proved the trick. At 17.8 Teslas -- almost 560,000 times the Earth's magnetic field strength/flux density -- one of the samples managed to store 17.6 Teslas, after the source field was deactivated.



- [Image Source: Supercond. Sci. Tech./Univ. of Cambridge] -


The team continued to study that star stack and found it stored 10 T at 55 K and extrapolating from their data that it could potentially continue to store 17.6 T all the way up to 32 K, with careful controls.

The storage was quite long-term. Even after about an hour it had only dropped to around 17.5 Tesla -- still more than the previous record. The field strength was steady for that sample, also, at 16 mm using Hall sensors, where as it dropped off sharply in the broken samples. That indicated that careful growth is necessary not only to ensure an attractive field storage, but also to ensure that the range of the field is sufficient to make it commercially useful.

The sample was remagnetized and cracked at 18 Tesla at 26 K, leading the researchers to conclude that the achieved storage -- 17.6 Tesla was around the maximum possible before the brittle sample was overcome by stresses.

The team suggested that while the stainless steel ring method was likely unable to be improved upon do to the unparalleled yield strength and stiffness of the 304 alloy, that future samples could maybe store more field if they were internally reinforced (the previous record from Professor Masato Murakami of the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan had used a somewhat similar 26 mm two-disc stack of YBa2 Cu3O7-X (YBCO) reinforced with carbon fiber.

So there's at least one clear route with the record setting material to reaching even more impressive storage.


VI. The Final Frontier --Commercial Energy Storage

The study on the work was published [PDF] in the field's most prestigious journal, Superconductor Science and Technology.


Professor Cardwell says of the work:

The fact that this record has stood for so long shows just how demanding this field really is. There are real potential gains to be had with even small increases in field.


This work could herald the arrival of superconductors in real-world applications. In order to see bulk superconductors applied for everyday use, we need large grains of superconducting material with the required properties that can be manufactured by relatively standard processes.

This record could not have been achieved without the support of our academic and industrial colleagues and partners. It was a real team effort, and one which we hope will bring these materials a significant step closer to practical applications.

And what does all this mean? Well you could induce current from various was -- solar photovoltaics, steam from nuclear energy driving induced current, etc. -- and then use a superconducting magnet to fill the superconducting stack with intense magnetism, which you could then harvest by using the field to induce electrical current later in the day, once you've stopped producing.

In terms of time to market, clearly we're a ways off, given that the team struggled to have the sample survive a handful of magnetization cycles. But if the reinforcement and growth techniques could be simplified, this could bump superconductors a lot closer to becoming a cheap, reliable form of power storage, hence eliminating the problems from sporadic power generation methods like solar and wind. For now we're stuck with batteries, but superconductors like this one loom as a bright and promising solution on the horizon."

Newly discovered plant structure " 'may' lead to improved biofuel processing" - R&DM/UoG/BESC/DOE/PC, GEORGIA - Feb 5, 2013
http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/newly-discovered-plant-…
www.rdmag.com/news/2013/02/newly-discovered-plant-structure-…

"When Li Tan approached his colleagues at the University of Georgia with some unusual data he had collected, they initially seemed convinced that his experiment had become contaminated; what he was seeing simply didn't make any sense.

Tan was examining some of the sugars, proteins, and polymers that make up plant cell walls, which provide the structural support and protection that allow plants to grow. Yet his samples contained a mixture of sugars that should not be present in the same structure.

However, Tan was convinced that his samples were pure so he and Debra Mohnen, who heads the laboratory, met again to pore over the data. They came to realize that there were hints in the data of a connection between two different types of cell wall glycans (sugars) and a specific cell wall protein known as arabinogalactan protein. This connection is not known to exist and does not conform to the commonly held scientific definitions of plant cell wall structure.

But Tan and Mohnen, who both work as part of the BioEnergy Science Center, one of three U.S. Department of Energy-funded research centers, were persistent, and they, along with an interdisciplinary team of chemists, molecular biologists and plant experts at UGA, began searching for answers. What they found could re define our understanding of basic plant biology, and it may lead to significant improvements in the growth and processing of biofuel crops.

"This is totally new," says Tan, a research scientist in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and lead author of a paper detailing the group's findings in The Plant Cell. "We had never seen linkages between these structures before, and we had to develop a variety of new tests to prove that what we saw was not simply a mistake or a contamination."

The scientific community generally agrees that complex sugars like pectin and xylan, which allow for cell wall structure, extension and growth, exist in separate networks from cell wall proteins. But the UGA researchers have identified a direct and indisputable link between these two domains.

"What this means is that plant scientists' view of the plant cell wall is at least partially wrong," says Mohnen, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and a member of UGA's Complex Carbohydrate Research Center. "There have been hints over the last 30 or 40 years that this link might exist, but no one has been able to prove it until now."

The discovery has many far-reaching implications beyond the ways it may change biology textbooks. As concerns about the reality of global climate change continue to rise, scientists are working diligently to find useful alternatives to fossil fuel-derived energy.

Biofuels created from cultivated crops like trees and grasses show great promise as a carbon-neutral source of ethanol, but converting plants into fuel that might be used to power automobiles or create heat for homes has proven difficult. Millions of years of evolution have made plants resistant to breakdown, and the sugars needed for fermentation into ethanol are locked inside their complex cell walls.

But Tan and Mohnen are hopeful that their discovery combined with additional research will reveal many of the secrets of plant cell wall architecture and function, making them easier to break down or perhaps opening the doors for engineered plants that will work better as a feedstock for the biofuels industry and as better agricultural products.

"The applications that will emerge from this discovery are enormous," says Mohnen. "It's all going to stem from a refined understanding of how plants are put together and how they are made, but once we know that, we can start modifying them to make them perform in ways that are most advantageous to us."

"We've only just scratched the surface," she says. "But once we investigate this further and we understand the plant exceptionally well, the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy's the limit." "

Nanoparticle Thin Films That Self-Assemble, in One Minute - IT/DOE, BERKELEY - Jun 11, 2014

"The days of self-assembling nanoparticles taking hours to form a film over a microscopic-sized wafer are ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooover.

Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have devised a technique whereby self-assembling nanoparticle arrays can form a highly ordered thin film over macroscopic distances in one minute.




The technique is compatible with current nanomanufacturing processes and has the potential to generate new families of optical coatings for applications in a wide number of areas including solar energy, nanoelectronics and computer memory storage. This technique could even open new avenues to the fabrication of metamaterials, artificial nanoconstructs that possess remarkable optical properties.

Nanoparticles function as artificial atoms with unique optical, electrical and mechanical properties. If nanoparticles can be induced to self-assemble into complex structures and hierarchical patterns, similar to what nature does with proteins, it would enable mass-production of devices a thousand times smaller, those used in today’s microtechnology. ..."

A 'Fine Line' : New Program Predicts When Human Impact Becomes Too Much - ENN/MB/SU, STANFORD - Jul 6, 2014

"Indigenous groups control approximately half of the world’s vegetated areas. As globalization changes the ways in which traditional communities interact with the land on which they live, it is important to be able to predict how the surrounding environment will respond.

Scientists at Stanford University recently unveiled a new modeling program that can predict the response of the environment to the land-use changes of human communities. Using their model, they found that natural resources can support humanity — up to a certain point. They recently published their findings in the journal Environmental Modelling & Software.

Their model showed that in an area in which food is acquired through mostly hunting and with some cultivating, a human community can remain in-balance with the surrounding environment if it stays within a certain population range.

"Once indigenous populations move outside that [range], the land use rapidly shifts to another state characterized by a much lower forest cover, with negative impacts on both biodiversity and carbon stocks in the vegetation," said Eric Lambin, a professor and senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.

Lambin and his team developed the model by incorporating many different ecological factors that are known to affect native communities, such as vegetation diversity and deforestation rate. They then projected how changes in these factors would impact the growth rate of communities through food availability. While the actual dynamic between human communities and the environment is more multifaceted and also involves a complex of social factors like education and policy, the researchers believe this initial version of their model will still be useful in predicting land changes.

"This makes it more of a universal model, because all people need calories," said Jose Fragoso, a senior scientist at Stanford and co-developer of the model. "They must meet their daily caloric requirement. If they farm more to do that, then they hunt less, or vice versa. But that drives the system and causes all the changes to occur." "

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 Central Intelligence Agency launched its Twitter account last month with an unexpectedly flippant post: "We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet."

In that vein, the CIA took to Twitter for its one-month #twitterversary on Monday to answer its top-five most frequently asked questions, one of which happens to be about late rapper Tupac Shakur.

No, we don't know where Tupac is. #twitterversary— CIA (@CIA) July 7, 2014

Shakur died in September 1996 after a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, though several conspiracy theories about his murder still persist.

The CIA also responded to questions about employment prospects, Ellen DeGeneres and personal passwords.

No, we don't know your password, so we can't send it to you. #sorrynotsorry #twitterversary— CIA (@CIA) July 7, 2014

European Union Needs to Get Moving , on Energy Efficiency - CT/EEA/EF/RE/EEFIG/IPCC - May 19, 2014

"While the European Union is well on its way to reach or exceed its renewable energy and emissions targets for 2020, there is one goal of its climate policies it likely won’t meet: energy efficiency.

According to the European Environment Agency, the “collective primary energy consumption in 2020 is expected to be close to the level required by the EU political objective of 1,483 Mtoe but will remain insufficient to achieve the 20 % energy efficiency target. ”


This is even more puzzling as the evidence has been piling up on how energy saving measures could bring as much as 250 billion euros back into Europe’s economy, according to an Ecofys report last year.

In a post I published here in 2012, according to a study presented by the Renovate Europe Campaign, weatherizing European buildings alone could boost local GDP by up to 291 billion Euros ($370 billion) by 2017.

Energy efficiency is key in cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and further, creating thousands of green jobs and stopping giving ridiculous amounts of money to Russia every single day.

Indeed, I reported previously that the European Union 28 country members are giving as much as half a billion euros every single day to Russia for natural gas and oil. The amounts total over 200 billion euros ( $277 billion ) a year.


Now here comes a new report from the Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group (EEFIG) pointing out that:

“We are at a tipping point, with energy efficiency investing having the clear potential to emerge into the mainstream as a key driver of EU competitiveness, economic value, innovation and employment across Europe”


Both private and public investments are insufficient. If continued, this trend could lead certain EU members to miss their 2020 and longer term targets.

The EEFIG points out to the fact that cutting by no less than 40 percent the amount of energy used in buildings has a strategically important character because of rising energy prices. Another factor is the increased climate change threat as the IPCC fifth report reported recently.


The institution provides several solutions, such as :

- Requiring financial policy makers to consider long-term energy savings when taking decisions

- Strengthening energy performance certificates, energy codes and legislative enforcement

- Improving data flows for energy efficiency in buildings

- Standardizing best practices for the energy efficiency investment market

- Targeting priority use of EU structural investment funds and ETS revenues for public-private financial instruments between now and 2020


Needless to say, I will keep you updated of the progress – or the lack of it – in this area. Let’s hope both the preparation of the EU 2030 energy and climate policies and the upcoming UNFCC meeting in 2015 won’t be missed opportunities in that regard. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Leo Motors - "Takes Leadership, in 'Green Marine Propulsion' " - AW, SEOUL - Jun 30, 2014
www.accesswire.com/viewarticle.aspx?id=417380

"Leo Motors Inc. (OTCBB: LEOM) has acquired by merger 100% of its affiliate company, Leo Greentier Marines (LGM) through a share exchange.

LGM is the premier Korean E-outboard developer and manufacturer. They bring LEOM an effective fossil fuel alternative to conventional boats dramatically reducing CO2, and a variety of other water pollutants.

Initially intended to support Korea's commercial fishing fleet, LGM developed a high quality performance electric power system for boats that will revolutionize the marine market sector. The motor is lower in noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. LGM's e-Power system also reduces maintenance costs. The new e-boat gives fishermen significant reduction in energy costs. For each 100,000 km, traveled, an internal combustion engine $40,000 in fuel while the e-boat spends ~$4,000 , a 90% reduction in operating cost.

LGM has 7 patents and 15 patents pending. These patents include the remarkable Cartridge Battery Systems (CBS) technology.. CBS consists of 15-30 cartridges in a battery power pack. Such batteries are lightweight and can be recharged and replaced easily.

Maintenance costs are reduced by having only one tenth of the moving parts of standard motor boats. Lifespan of the outboard is doubled by the use of aluminum based corrosion resistant components.

Coping with the global trend toward Green Management, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has imposed regulations to decrease carbon dioxide emissions from boats by more than 30 percent. The Korean government initiated a pilot project converting 40 fishing boats into e-boat in 2014. Government subsidized approx. $30,000 per boat in this pilot project. Government expects to convert at least 10 percent of fishing boats below 3 tons over the next 10 years. (Converting approximately. 5,500 boats.)

In addition to addressing the $2 billion Korean small e-fishing boat market, the merger stages LEOM to be the leading company in the $55 billion global ocean leisure market.

Leo’s Subsidiary LGM Makes 'Successful Sales Demonstration' of the Electric Fishing Boat in the Kyungnam Province Government Hosted Event, 90% reduction in fuel cost, LGM’s e-boat excels its ICE counterparts in speed +power - Jul 7, 2014
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/leo-subsidiary-lgm-makes-succe…

"Seoul, South Korea / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2014 / Leo Motors Inc. (LEOM) said that its subsidiary company, Leo Greentier Marines (LGM), finished a successful demonstration of its electric fishing boat in a harbor in Gosung City. The demonstration was organized by Kyungnam Province Government of Korea. The Province Government invited fishing related officers and potential buyers from Changwon, Tongyoung, Sacheon, Geoje, Gosung, Namhae, and Hadong Cities. LGM explained the Government subsidized program for conversion from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric motors to the attendees. It was the second demonstration followed by a central government demonstration in Mokpo in February...

The e-boat LGM demonstrated was 28 feet (8.5m) in length and weighs 2 tons, and sailed more than 20 knots (38km/h) which exceled the speed of its ICE counterparts. The motor is lower in noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. LGM’s e-Power system also reduces maintenance costs. The new e-boat gives fishermen significant reduction in energy costs. For each 100,000 km, traveled, an internal combustion engine $40,000 in fuel while the e-boat spends approx. $4,000, a 90% reduction in operating cost.

Dr. Kang, chairman of LEOM said, “Only LGM has a technology to develop full speed e-boat in Korea. That’s why Kyungnam Povince government invited only LGM to demonstrate. In addition, without our patented Cartridge Battery System, it is almost impossible to charge and exchange batteries for many boats every day.” LGM was acquired and merged by LEOM on 1st of July, 2014.

LGM has 7 patents issued and 15 patents pending. These patents include the remarkable Cartridge Battery Systems (CBS) technology. CBS consists of 15-30 cartridges in a battery power pack. Such batteries are lightweight and can be recharged and replaced easily. "

The Company provides incentive to affiliate organizations to promote GPDB membership, by paying a $15 referral fee for each referred member, plus $2/order, for the lifetime of each membership. In other words, in addition to receiving the referral fee, referring affiliates can get paid an estimated $25 to $50/year on the recurring orders, of each +every member they refer to GPDB. The Company "believes this is an 'extraordinary compensation opportunity', that motivates referring affiliates to direct their contacts to GPDB membership benefits". Commencing this week, GPDB will post on its Web site masthead, in real time, the level of and increases in memberships every day. Investors who visit www.gpdb.com or www.greenpolkadotbox.com will be able to watch membership growth as it occurs, minute by minute; Smith: "We "have already proven that affiliates are very effective, in referring health-minded consumers to membership in GPDB". We "anticipate that our new partnerships with these 'powerful organizations' will lead to the establishment of 'thousands of marketing relationships' with referring affiliates, +'sharp increases' in memberships +product sales". Our 'goal' is to achieve @least 15.000 total active members —an increase of >300% in memberships— + >$1.500,000 in monthly sales, by Sep `14. The projected sales will be achieved without increasing fixed general +administrative overhead, until the 4th quarter of `14, that with current facilities +staffing the Company can hit these growth targets. We have engaged auditors +plan to be fully reporting to the Securities +Exchange Commission before the end of this year."; Smith also reported on the progress for Phase I of the Living Produce Growing Center, scheduled to commence construction this summer, conditioned on the receipt of funding. ~15% of the $2.600.000 LPGC-Phase I project has already been funded. Land has been purchased, the construction site has been graded, +a building permit has been secured. The balance of project costs will be funded through bank financing, backed by Utah Farm Service Agency or USDA loan guarantees - May 14, 2014

"Floating Island International (FII) is a Montana-based company that has developed technology for creating islands that can effectively support plant and animal life (full disclosure: FII is a client of my firm and FII CEO Bruce Kania agreed to be interviewed for this post).

The company’s BioHaven® floating islands help maintain the health of wetland ecosystems through a “concentrated” wetland effect, i.e., higher removal rates of nitrate, phosphate and ammonia as well as reduction of total suspended solids and dissolved organic carbon in waterways.

According to Kania, what differentiates FII from other floating treatment wetland providers is that FII’s islands are made of massive biofilm grown within a matrix that includes microbes and their residue, with high volumes of trapped biogas. Put another way, the company’s floating islands “incorporate nature’s models to solve problems with water.”

While other floating island technologies achieve buoyancy through use of buoyant chambers in a raft, FII used either buoyant nodules or foam sealant interspersed within the matrix.

FII’s patent portfolio includes a number of worldwide patent families focusing on different aspects of the company’s technology, including:

U.S. Patent Nos. 8,327,579 and 8,250,808 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0146559 (’559 Application), each entitled ”Super enhanced, adjustably buoyant floating island.” These patents and applications are directed to floating islands comprising at least one layer of water-permeable, non-woven mesh material and including different innovative features for achieving and adjusting the buoyancy of the islands, such as pressure injected foam sealant. Figure 4 of the ‘ 559 Application is reproduced here:




U.S. Patent No. 8,372,277, entitled “Floating treatment streambed,” is directed to a floating streambed including a circulation pump and treatment channels made of a permeable matrix. The water entering the treatment channels flows both horizontally through the treatment channel and into the water body and also vertically downward through the permeable matrix of the treatment channels.

U.S. Patent 7,784,218 is entitled “Combination cell foam floating island” and directed to a floating island comprising a flat sheet insert in the matrix layers of the island that traps gas underneath the insert. A representative figure is reproduced below:




U.S. Patent No. 8,132,364, entitled Highly buoyant and semi-rigid floating islands,” is directed to an island made of two modules where each module has a semi-rigid internal frame, a bottom layer, and a semi-permeable top layer. The island has a planting pocket disposed between the first and second modules and supported by the semi-rigid frames.

U.S. Patent No. 7,810,279 is entitled “Buoyant wetland system” and directed to a simulated wetland system that includes a plant habitat that is normally submerged and has a first and second buoyant blanket assembly. Each buoyant blanket assembly comprises a non-woven mat that includes buoyant bodies. The plant habitat is comprised of a container of a non-woven mat that encircles a portion of growth medium. A representative figure is reproduced below:




FII’s patent portfolio forms the foundation of the company and is critical for its success spreading its technology around the world. As Kania told me, “without IP and an ability to enjoy a limited monopoly on behalf of its license holders, our ability to forward in the undeveloped world is minimal.”

The company has entered into a number of licensing deals. Partners and potential partners are “intrigued and energized for a clean tech solution to water quality issues.” FII’s licensees include a variety of people and business entities that have business dealings around water, particularly wetland work, but also include companies involved in plastics recycling and stone masonry.

Though FII’s path is a “departure from conventional green technology efforts” because it’s not about renewables or conservation per se, its technology is making an impact and is most definitely green. "

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

Vatican bank's profits dump, as Pope Francis presses for reforms - SH/TCP, VATICAN CITY - Jul 8, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/newswire/2014/07/08/vatican-bank-s-p…

"The Vatican bank on Tuesday reported a big drop in profits as Pope Francis presses reforms to make the scandal-tainted institution more transparent.

The bank, formally called Institute for Religious Works, said its net profit in 2013 fell to 2.9 million euros ($4 million) from 86.6 million euros ($118 million) the previous year. The income statement lists a loss of 14.4 million euros ($19.5 million) attributed to a ``donation'' of securities to a Holy See foundation. It didn't elaborate, but news reports have said a top Vatican cardinal had transferred some 15 million euros to an Italian film company considered close to the Vatican and that the transaction was under investigation.

The bank continues to close accounts that don't meet tighter regulatory standards. The scrutiny reflects the bank's aim to improve compliance with international banking standards, including those to discourage money laundering. So far it has blocked 1,239 individual client and 762 institutional client accounts. Of some 3,000 ``customer relationships'' terminated, most were dormant accounts, but others didn't fit the bank's revamped focus.

The bank said it ``now focuses only on Catholic institutions, clerics, employees or former employees of the Vatican with salary and pensions accounts'' plus embassies and diplomats accredited to the Holy See.

The opaque, secretive way the bank had been run was largely blamed for Vatican financial scandals. Last year a Vatican monsignor with millions on deposit was arrested in an alleged money-smuggling plot. A 2010 money-laundering probe by Rome prosecutors sparked tightened scrutiny at the bank.

The initial phase of reforms stressed ``zero tolerance for any suspicious activity,'' said bank president Ernst von Freyberg. The next phase, envisioning more efficient structures, is expected to see a change of command. French financier Jean-Baptiste de Franssu is widely expected to be tapped on Wednesday to head the bank.

Zitat von Popeye82: Amyris Biotechnologies - Op-Ed: "Curing Malaria, with Sugar" - Apr 13, 2013
www.amyris.com/News/297/Op-Ed-Curing-Malaria-with-Sugar-by-F…

"Next week they’ll be celebrating in San Francisco. The first batch of artemisinin, produced on the basis of sugar, is ready. In 2013, 35 tons, enough for 100 million doses, will be produced. Every year, 200 million people contract malaria and 650,000 of them die from the disease. The artemisinin produced using this method has a great chance of contributing to the eradication of malaria. Since it is produced by microbes, using sugar as its raw material, and the inventors agreed to provide the intellectual property free of charge, it is very inexpensive. But that’s not the only reason to celebrate. The scientific study that describes the details of this technological feat has just been published in the journal Nature.

It all began in 2003. Four scientists working at the University of California, Berkeley picked a socially relevant problem so they could demonstrate the power of the new synthetic biology techniques they were developing. They chose artemisinin, one of the most potent antimalarial drugs known.

Artemisinin was discovered in the plant Artemisia annua (commonly known as sweet wormwood), which grows in China, but has never been used on a large scale. It is difficult to produce by chemical synthesis. Up to now the limited amount of artemisinin available is extracted from the tree that grows in several countries. The bottom line is that production is unstable and the price is high. The objective was to transplant all the genes needed to synthesize this compound into a simple organism that could produce a lot of artemisinin, using a very inexpensive compound as food.

The organism selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used to produce beer and ethanol. This yeast converts the sugarcane juice into ethanol. The study consisted of producing a variety of this yeast capable of converting sugar into artemisinin.

In order to carry out the project, an innovative agreement was signed with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation would fund project development under one condition: the company would have to provide intellectual property rights free of charge over the final product in order to ensure that it would get into the hands of patients at the lowest cost possible. In exchange, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation allowed the company to maintain sole ownership of the technology generated by the project, which it could then use to develop commercial products.

Between 2004 and 2008, the company discovered how the tree produced artemisinin, isolated the genes that produced the molecule and placed those genes in a yeast strain. Over 17 genes were isolated, modified and combined in the new host. Thus, the entire assembly line of the artemisinin molecule was transferred to the yeast and it began to produce the artemisinic acid. This artemisinic acid “factory” set up inside a living organism then had to be optimized to ensure that most of the sugar utilized was converted into artemisinic acid.

By 2008, the strain was ready. More than 50 scientists had worked on the project over the course of five years at a cost of over $30 million and the project had not yet ended. An industrial scale production method developed to purify the artemisinic acid was standardized and a less expensive way to convert the artemisinic acid to artemisinin was discovered. These final steps were taken together with a pharmaceutical company. By the end of 2012, everything was finished. The first batch was produced and the scientific study describing the technology was published in the journal Nature.

But the story does not end here. Perhaps you’ve seen a number of buses circulating in São Paulo with the following words: EcoFrota – Movido a Diesel de Cana, literally, EcoFleet – Powered by Sugarcane Diesel. The diesel fuel that moves these buses is produced in Brotas, in central São Paulo State.

The recently opened factory is able to convert the juice from one million tons of sugarcane into diesel fuel and other chemical products.

In operation since January, this factory produces diesel fuel by using a strain of Saccharomyces engineered with the technology used to produce artemisinin. "

Amyris +Total, "one of the largest integrated oil +gas companies in the world", Announce Successful Demonstration Flight With Renewable Jet Fuel , During Paris Air Show; 1st Demonstration Flight in Europe on Airbus Aircraft "Underscores Partners' Commitment, to Achieving ASTM Certification" - Jun 19, 2013
www.amyris.com/News/312/Amyris-and-Total-Announce-Successful…

"PARIS, June 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS) and Total (Paris:TOTF) announced today a successful demonstration flight at the Paris Air Show using a breakthrough technology that converts plant sugars into renewable jet fuel.

The Airbus A321 aircraft powered by two Snecma CFM56 jet engines flew from Toulouse to Paris with a blend of renewable jet fuel produced by Amyris and Total. This demonstration flight was in support of the French Initiative for Future Aviation Fuels, which seeks to produce and commercialize alternative, renewable and sustainable aviation fuels in France in the coming years. This was the second public demonstration flight with the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel. In June 2012, an Embraer E195 jet flew with the renewable jet fuel produced from sugarcane in Brazil.

"This is a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Total for biofuels. From developing the world's leading synthetic biology platform to producing and distributing renewable products globally, the Amyris-Total collaboration demonstrates the power of partnerships to drive innovation and deliver sustainable products," said John Melo, President & CEO of Amyris. "Today's flight is another step closer in achieving ASTM certification, which paves the way for the commercialization of our renewable jet fuel," Melo concluded.

"The air transport sector has an ambitious target: drastically reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 while commercial flights and demand for jet fuel will steadily grow. To that end, biofuels will play an important role along with improved aircraft energy efficiency. This demonstration flight illustrates the capacity of Amyris and Total to integrate, as of today, aeronautical biofuels in a concrete and reliable way," said Philippe Boisseau, President, Marketing & Services and New Energies and a member of the Executive Committee of Total. "As one of the world's biggest suppliers of aviation fuel, Total aims at widely offering this solution to airline customers. We are confident that we will be able to achieve this within the coming years."


About the Renewable Jet Fuel

The Amyris-Total renewable fuel was produced using engineered microorganisms that convert plant sugars into Biofene®, Amyris's brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched hydrocarbon. In December 2012, Amyris began commercial production of Biofene at its industrial-scale production facility in southeastern Brazil. Amyris uses Brazilian sugarcane due to its availability, competitive cost, and the local industry's ability to meet international sustainability standards.

In addition to supporting the aviation industry's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel is designed to be compliant with Jet A/A-1 fuel specifications and outperform conventional petroleum-derived fuel in a range of performance metrics, including fit for purpose and greenhouse gas emission reduction, while maintaining performance quality. Amyris and Total expect the fuel to be commercially available as early as 2014, following approval by the ASTM International, the world's leading fuel standard setting body.

Vast reservoir of gas 'may fuel star creation, in our galaxy' - ENN/SM/UoC/STSI, BERKELEY/BALTIMORE - Jul 9, 2014

www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47571

"The Milky Way may have found a solution to its gas shortage. Astronomers had calculated that our home galaxy possesses only enough fuel to forge new stars for just a few billion more years. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut scientists have now discovered that a long stream of gas falling into the Milky Way is four times as massive as previously thought and could power our galaxy's starmaking career for a long time to come.


"It's a very beautiful study with surprising results," says Leo Blitz of the University of California, Berkeley, an astronomer who was not part of the project.

Astronomer Andrew Fox of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and his colleagues made the discovery while studying a stream of gas shed by two nearby galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which orbit the Milky Way. The lost Magellanic gas stretches over more than half a million light-years of space, and much of it will fall into our galaxy's disk, supplying fuel for new stars. Astronomers discovered this gas long ago because it contains hydrogen, the most abundant element in space.

But this gas isn’t always easy to detect. It comes in different varieties. One is a neutral, or nonionized, form, in which each proton has an electron; this type of gas emits 21-centimeter-long radio waves that radio telescopes readily spot. But the gas also comes in an ionized form, in which electrons are free of protons; this type of gas doesn't emit these radio waves and so can be much harder to detect. "

DARPA awards $40.000.000, to restore memories - SM/DARPA/BRAIN/UP/UCLA/DOE/M/MIT/RAM, CAMBRIDGE/CALIFORNIA - Jul 9 2014

"Last fall, Geoffrey Ling, a top biotechnology research official at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), challenged neuroscientists to do something extraordinary: Develop an implantable device that can restore memory loss in vets with traumatic brain injuries. Offering up to $40 million in short-term, high-stakes funding, Ling said, “Here's the golden ring—who's brave enough to step up and actually grab it?”

Today, DARPA announced two academic teams that will spend the next 4 years attempting to meet that challenge as part of President Barack Obama’s roughly $110 million Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will receive up to $15 million to develop a memory-restoring prosthesis that focuses on the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus—brain regions key to memory formation. A second team at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) will receive up to $22.5 million to develop a device that can monitor and modulate many different brain regions involved in memory formation and storage.

Some researchers, however, are skeptical that the efforts will make major headway on such a complicated problem.

Both the UCLA team, led by neurosurgeon Itzhak Fried, and the UPenn team, led by neuroscientist Michael Kahana, will start out by studying neuronal activity in people with epilepsy, who are often recruited for brain stimulation studies because they were already treated through open-brain surgery. Fried will build on his earlier work in epileptic patients, which has shown that stimulating the entorhinal cortex improves performance on a computer game that requires players to quickly learn and remember where to drop off taxi passengers in a virtual city. Next, he will use data from those studies to build computational models of how the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus work together to convert daily experiences into lasting memories.

Kahana also aims to develop a computational model of memory formation, but using a different approach. By searching the brains of epileptic patients for electrical “biomarkers” of memory retrieval and storage, he hopes to build a program that can detect when memory goes awry and instruct a device to help repair it.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and the device manufacturer Medtronic will also contribute to the efforts, aiming to build neurostimulators at least 10 times smaller than previous devices. Contractual agreements about rights to the technologies are still under way, according to DARPA officials.

If successful, the researchers ultimately hope to conduct the first clinical trials of deep brain stimulation in people with traumatic brain injury. That’s a “very achievable and realizable” goal because the teams are building on solid existing research in people and animals, says James Giordano, a neuroscientist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., who serves as a neuroethics adviser to DARPA’s BRAIN-related efforts.

The viability of the DARPA effort will depend greatly on what kind of memory loss people with traumatic brain injury actually have, says Roger Redondo, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Memory loss can result from problems with either storage or retrieval, he notes. In the case of a storage problem, the connections that form a memory were either never formed to begin with, or were destroyed, he says. In such cases, “no implantable device is going to help.”

On the other hand, if a traumatic injury produces a retrieval problem, in which most of a memory is there, but simply difficult to access, stimulation could potentially be useful, he says. “It is going to be extremely hard,” however, to determine which cells contain the memory and precisely tune electrical stimulation to drive its retrieval, he says. “The complexity of the brain, and the hippocampus, is such that any change in voltage that a microelectrode or chip can apply, even in a tiny area, will affect multitudes of neurons in uncontrolled ways,” he says.

Relying too heavily on epilepsy as a model for traumatic brain injury could also be problematic, says neuropsychologist James Sumowski of the Kessler Foundation in West Orange, New Jersey. Although some people with such injuries go on to develop epilepsy, most don’t show the same patterns of abnormal electrical activity or areas of atrophy that epileptic patients do, he says. “They are very different disorders.”

On the bright side, such challenges define the kind of “blue-sky, high-risk” project that DARPA is uniquely positioned to take on, Redondo says. Given the 270,000 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, nothing less than a major scientific leap is required, Ling says. As things stand, the options for injured service members “are very few.” "

"From Texas, we hear that Benefuel announced that it has closed $11 million in the first tranche of its offering of Series C Preferred Stock. A U.S. subsidiary of Suncor Energy, Canada’s leading integrated energy company was the primary subscriber. The first tranche also included Flint Hills Resources and other existing shareholders. Additionally, Benefuel and Suncor have agreed to work jointly to advance the commercialization and deployment of Benefuel’s patented ENSEL technology in Canada and the United States.


More about Benefuel

We looked closely at Benefuel as one of the leading new “neodiesel” companies. We wrote: Although REG has been a pioneer in the introduction of a diversified feedstock set, we were impressed to hear this month of the first commercial-scale use of an innovative biodiesel technology through a joint venture between Benefuel and FHR known as Duonix .

Benefuel’s ENSEL technology updates 75-year-old chemistry to provide an exciting new process for next-generation renewable fuel and industrial chemicals production. The technology is unique because it allows the use of lower cost, high free fatty acid (FFA) feedstocks such as animal tallow, unrefined oils, used vegetable oils or distillers corn oil. This is accomplished through the use of a solid catalyst that combines esterification and transesterification into a single step, which has been a long-standing goal of the biodiesel industry. The process also ensures the final product meets or exceeds all domestic and European biodiesel standards.

Flint Hills Resources will begin retrofitting the Beatrice, Nebraska biodiesel plant for a planned commencement of operations during the summer of 2015. Once the Duonix Beatrice plant is operational, it will produce approximately 50 million gallons of biodiesel each year and employ about 45 people in the local community.


Reaction on the deal announce

“Suncor joins an already strong team of investors and development partners that includes Flint Hills Resources, the largest operating subsidiary of Koch Industries, and ITOCHU Corp, one of Japan’s largest trading companies,” said Rob Tripp, Chief Executive Officer of Benefuel. “This was the first close of our Series C Preferred Stock offering, and we look forward to bringing in additional investors of this caliber.”

“This has been an exciting couple of months for Benefuel,” Tripp continued, “Last month we announced the beginning of the retrofitting of our Beatrice facility, and now this agreement. Even in this short period of time we have seen growth in biodiesel markets around the world, including most recently in Brazil and Southeast Asia, where the mandated blend ratios for biodiesel have increased significantly. This additional demand means opportunity for us as a low-cost producer, and we look forward to working with our current and future partners to bring the ENSEL® technology to other parts of the world.” "

$5.100.000.000.000 'to be' Invested in Renewable Energy, by 2030 - CT/3BLM/BBNEF - Jul 9, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/07/09/5-1-trillion-to-be-invest…

"$5.1 trillion dollars is one very big number. It’s a figure equal to just a little less than one-third of the U.S. economy’s annual GDP. $5.1 trillion is the amount that will be invested by 2030 to build new power plants that use renewable energy, according to a Bloomberg News Energy Finance report. Out of 5,000 gigawatts of power generation capacity to be added worldwide by 2030, renewable power will account for 4,000 gigawatts—nearly 80 percent of all new capacity. The leading technology in these new clean energy installations will be solar power, say the Bloomberg analysts. They predict that solar will be economically competitive with other power sources by 2020.


Falling prices for solar cells are making this power source a profitable business that doesn’t depend on subsidies for support. Decreasing prices for wind turbines are also driving the growth of wind power. Solar and wind power’s combined share of global generation will rise to 16 percent of the world’s total by 2030, up from its current 3 percent, predicts the Bloomberg forecast. And the report notes that this growth is taking place despite the downsizing of incentives for renewable energy from the U.S. and German governments. Since 2011, annual investment in renewable energy technologies has totaled more than the dollars invested in fossil fuel power generation. This upward trend for clean energy shows every sign of continuing to rise. "

"In a previous article we highlighted LightSail Energy, an interesting company which aims to produce the world’s cleanest and most economical energy storage systems using compressed air. Compressed air energy storage has been regarded as possibly the lowest-cost technology available for large-scale energy storage, however it has never been commercially viable due to the thermodynamic inefficiency of conventional air compressors and motors. Too much energy is lost while compressing and then decompressing the air to make the process commercially viable. Lightsail Energy claims to have solved this problem with a fine water mist, but they aren’t the only ones with a solution. A company called SustainX has developed their own “isothermal compressed air energy storage (ICAES™)” technology which claims to have a thermal efficiency of 95%, just beating LightSail Energy’s claimed thermal efficiency of 90%.





About

Founded in 2007, Seaview Newhampshire based SustainX was spun out of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth and has taken in$30 million in funding so far from the US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation as well as top-tier investors. Firms such as Polaris Venture Partners, General Catalyst Partners, RockPort Capital Partners, Cadent Energy Partners, and GE Energy Financial Services have made investments in SustainX so far. The Company has a strong IP position which is comprised of over 100 filings for ICAES™ innovations and at least 32 issued patents which they have listed on their website.


Technology

Although compressed air energy storage systems have been around since the 1970s, they need to be placed in caverns in order to achieve sufficient thermal efficiency and require substantial amounts of time and money develop. Given these limitations, SustainX claims there are only two such installations worldwide. However in September of 2013, SustainX delivered the world’s first megawatt-scale compressed air energy storage system built anywhere since 1991.



- SustainX’s First Installation (Source: IEEE Spectrum -


Located at their company headquarters, this 1.5 megawatt ICAES™ system uses foam-based heat exchange to cool the compressed air so that it achieves stated thermal efficiencies of >95% according to this while paper by SustainX that describes the method in detail. Because the system is based on proven mechanical principles and mature industrial components, it has a 20-year operating life with a very low cost of energy. According to an article by IEEE Spectrum, the project cost at least $10.8 million to fund with half of that amount coming from the U.S. Department of Energy. SustainX will use the machine to gather data on performance and to show off the technology to potential investors and customers.

Both SustainX and Lightsail Energy have focused on developing formidable intellectual property portfolios, attracted around the same amount of equity investments so far from some of the most notable venture capital companies in the world, and have reached an efficiency that makes compressed air energy storage commercially viable at a grid scale. With the two companies being so alike, competition will be intense and this will likely continue to spur further efficiencies and cost reductions. While SustainX appears to be first to market with their compressed air energy storage solution, neither company is providing enough information to see who will be the most capable when it comes to selling and delivering upon commercial implementations of their respective technologies. Regardless of which company comes out ahead in the end, the resulting technology may just make this a likely solution for solving our grid-scale energy storage needs. "

How Frank Rolfe +Dave Reynolds 'Quietly Became The 'Kings Of Affordable Housing' ' - SH/PRNW, CEDAREDGE - Jul 9, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/07/09/how-frank-…

"Frank Rolfe and Dave Reynolds both live in tiny towns of roughly 5,000 people. Just like everybody else, they can be seen going to the post office and the grocery store. They belong to local organizations like the Lions Club. But what most of their neighbors don't know is that, quietly out of their home offices, they control the largest "affordable housing" empire in the U.S. They own almost 11,000 mobile home lots spread out over 17 states across the Great Plains and Midwest. While their portfolio ranks 15th largest in mobile home parks, they are clearly #1 in their specialty of "affordable housing," as the 14 owners in front of them own a variant called "lifestyle choice." "Affordable housing" mobile home parks are focused on delivering a safe, quality mobile home park lifestyle for around $500 to $600 per month, while "lifestyle choice" mobile home parks have price points that are often well over $1,000 per month. And, with the U.S. economy in continual recession, affordable housing has become a hot item.

"We never really meant to get so large," said Dave Reynolds, from his home in Colorado. "We just buy great mobile home park deals that fit our criteria, and we've been finding a lot of them lately." That's an understatement. "Frank & Dave," as they're known, have been probably the most prolific buyers of mobile home parks in the U.S. over the past several years.

So how did two guys from small towns overtake the large, sophisticated operators that mostly congregate around Chicago? Maybe the key reason is simply timing. Frank & Dave were in the right place when the U.S. economy collapsed. With over 20% of American households earning $20,000 per year or less, the demand for affordable housing has been growing steadily. But when you add on the 10,000 baby boomers per day that are retiring and dropping into monthly social security checks that average only $1,200 per month, the demand expands exponentially. But it's not as simple as that. To get in position to take advantage of the timing took about 20 years or preparation.

I talked to Frank Rolfe at his house in Missouri. "I think we've been training for this opportunity for two decades, practicing the same maneuver over and over of basically buying a run-down mobile home park and bringing it back to life. Both Dave and I started with one mobile home park each, repeated the steps successfully over 100 times as competitors, and then have perfected it another 100 times as partners. We can literally put any mobile home park into a 'box' based on past parks that we've owned, and know exactly what needs to be done and how it will turn out. Like anything else in life, if you do the same thing enough times, you become very, very good at it. I think it would be safe to say that Dave and I are the best at what we do in the U.S."

So why did they take the "affordable housing" path instead of the "lifestyle choice" niche of the mobile home park business? Dave gave some insight into that question. "Both Frank and I found – back when we were competitors – that the price point in an ad that really made the phone ring was $500 to $600 per month. If you priced the rent on a mobile home over about $600, the calls fell off substantially. So we were basically trained by this to always keep the rent under $600. To make that happen, we perfected systems to keep the park's operating costs down to levels that would allow for this 'affordable' rent and still make a great profit for the park. Some of those systems include eliminating unused, costly amenities such as pools, and replacing high-priced managers with systems and centralized management. But it also involves being great shoppers, and only buying parks that have good, solid infrastructure and none of the issues that can drive up costs through extreme repair and maintenance issues and other unseen emergencies." By comparison, the "lifestyle choice" operators, such as the publicly traded SUN and UMH, rely on customers who are willing to spend between $1,000 and $1,500 per month to live in a mobile home park. "We never really believed in the theory that an American is going to live in a mobile home park when they can afford to live in a brick subdivision or a fancy condo," said Frank Rolfe. "We are only comfortable in the affordable housing sector, in which our customers have no option other than what we have to provide. Again, we are sore losers, and we only want to participate in those opportunities in which the demand is giant and the supply is limited. While SUN and UMH do a good job with what they have to work with, our operating numbers clobber theirs."

Another interesting trick they learned over hundreds of turn-arounds is doing great due diligence to make sure the park is a winner before they ever close on the deal. "We acknowledge that the secret to our success – in a big way – has been doing terrific due diligence," said Dave Reynolds. "We became so engrossed in systematizing the due diligence process that we literally wrote the book on it. Our book, 30 Days of Diligence, has become the bible for park operators who want to make sure they don't miss anything. It's the exact same script that we use ourselves. If you do not perform thorough due diligence, and make sure that you are going to succeed, then you simply degrade your investment down to just speculation, like betting on a horse race. We hate gambling, and are sore losers, so we'd rather make sure that we never get involved in anything less than a winner."

So what's the ultimate goal with this "affordable housing" empire? Dave Reynolds gave some insight. "At this point, I think our clear path is to create America's largest 'affordable housing' portfolio. We have no intention – after this much work and expertise – to stop short of anything but that goal. In an odd way, Frank and I think that we not only owe this to our investors, but to the American public, as there are already around 11,000 households that look to us to provide the American dream, and there are certainly thousands more that we can work magic on. This is truly a win/win business that makes high rates of return while bettering the lives of the residents – and we love doing it. Frank and I are both getting older, and see this as the major contribution of our lives."

So while most people drive by old mobile home parks and think "what a dump," Frank Rolfe and Dave Reynolds see opportunity, and a clear plan to convert dilapidated and poorly managed mobile home parks into quality residential neighborhoods for affordable housing. It's what they've spent their lives training for, and they plan on re-making America one mobile home park at a time.

Google(GOOG) exec died on yacht, due to heroin injection given by prostitute - SH/TCP, SANTA CRUZ - Jul 10, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/newswire/2014/07/10/google-goog-exec…

"A Silicon Valley success story turned sordid this week with the arrest of an upscale prostitute who allegedly left a Google (NASDAQ:GOOG, Stock Forum) executive dying on his yacht after shooting him up with a deadly hit of heroin.

Forrest Hayes, 51, was found dead by the captain of his 50-foot yacht Escape last November. At the time, a simple obituary described him as a beloved husband and father of five who enjoyed spending time with his family and on his boat.

On Wednesday, that got a lot more complicated as Alix Tichelman, 26, of Folsom, stood handcuffed and mumbling in red jail scrubs facing manslaughter charges for her role in Hayes' death, as well as drug and prostitution charges. She is being held on $1.5 million bail.

Surveillance footage from the yacht shows everything, police said, from when she came aboard until after Hayes collapsed. That's when Tichelman picked up her clothes, the heroin and needles, casually stepping over Hayes as he lay dying. She swallowed the last of a glass of wine, lowered a blind and walked back on the dock to shore, police said.

Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Hayes had hired Tichelman before, and that their Nov. 23 encounter ``was a mutually consensual encounter including the introduction of the heroin.''

Clark said it appears this might not have been the first time she left someone in trouble without calling 911 or trying to help. Without elaborating, he said his agency is co-operating with police in a different state on a similar case.

``There's a pattern of behaviour here where she doesn't seek help when someone is in trouble,'' he said.

News vans gathered outside Hayes hilltop estate overlooking the glittering Monterey Bay on Tuesday. The five-bedroom home is on the market for $4.2 million. The yacht has been sailed out of the harbour to the Bay Area. Hayes' widow has not spoken publicly and a blog created in his memory was deleted Tuesday. On the website, friends and co-workers were seemingly unaware of how he died. They fondly described their time together, Christmas parties on his boat, engineering teams at Sun Microsystems, travelling to China for Apple and most recently at Google, where they said he was involved in the Glass eyewear projects.

``He had life wired, he really liked his job, was spending a lot more time with his family, cruising around in his boat. I am really grateful that Forrest's last moments were happy ones,'' wrote a friend in December.

Clark said it's not clear if Hayes was a frequent drug user, and that in the video, it appears he needed Tichelman to help him shoot up. Clark described Tichelman as a high-end prostitute, who lived three hours away and charged $1,000.

He said she had other clients from Silicon Valley, home to about 50 billionaires and tens of thousands of millionaires, where the case was making waves Wednesday.

``There's no question that Silicon Valley feels different than it felt 28 years ago when I moved here,'' said Russell Hancock, president of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, an organization focused on the local economy and quality of life. ``Something has happened. We used to be a Valley full of techies living middle class lives, and now we're a Valley of the uber-rich carrying toy poodles around with them.''

Tichelman's father has ties to the tech industry. Folsom software firm SynapSense announced hiring her father, Bart Tichelman in 2012. Neither the firm nor her father responded to immediate requests for comment.

Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Timothy Volkmann approved a request Wednesday from Tichelman's court appointed attorney, Diana August, to continue the arraignment until July 16. August did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Assistant District Attorney Rafael Vazquez said authorities are still investigating and may file more serious charges.

Tichelman was arrested on July 4 after police said a detective lured her back to the Santa Cruz area by posing as a potential client at an upscale resort. Clark said they didn't just arrest her because they didn't know exactly where she lived, and they were concerned she would flee.

Police said Tichelman boasted she had more than 200 clients and met them through the website, SeekingArrangement.com, which purports to connect wealthy men and women with attractive companions. Her clients included other Silicon Valley executives, Clark said.

Santa Clara University Finance professor Robert Hendershott said financial windfalls like those seen in the Silicon Valley often bring problems as people have trouble managing their newfound wealth. But he said there's no obvious hedonistic culture in the Silicon Valley.

``There's no Great Gatsby type of parties famous in the Silicon Valley,'' he said.

Layered paper 3D printers: Full colour, durable objects, @a fraction of the cost - GM - Jul 9, 2014

- By Loz Blain -
www.gizmag.com/mcor-iris-paper-3d-printer/32903/
www.mcortechnologies.com/3d-printers/iris/

"Irish company Mcor's unique paper-based 3D printers make some very compelling arguments. For starters, instead of expensive plastics, they build objects out of cut-and-glued sheets of standard 80 GSM office paper. That means printed objects come out at between 10-20 percent of the price of other 3D prints, and with none of the toxic fumes or solvent dips that some other processes require.



- Full color printed model from the Mcor IRIS machine
Image Gallery (24 images) -














Secondly, because it's standard paper, you can print onto it in full color before it's cut and assembled, giving you a high quality, high resolution color "skin" all over your final object. Additionally, if the standard hard-glued object texture isn't good enough, you can dip the final print in solid glue, to make it extra durable and strong enough to be drilled and tapped, or in a flexible outer coating that enables moving parts - if you don't mind losing a little of your object's precision shape.

The process is fairly simple. Using a piece of software called SliceIt, a 3D model is cut into paper-thin layers exactly the thickness of an 80 GSM sheet. If your 3D model doesn't include color information, you can add color and detail to the model through a second piece of software called ColorIt.

Next, a regular CMYK inkjet printer prints each slice of the model onto a separate sheet of paper, with a ~5 mm-wide outline of the required color of the bit that will end up showing once it's assembled. The stack of printed slices is then loaded into the Mcor IRIS machine, which uses a process called selective deposition lamination.





Each sheet is laid down, and its slice shape is cut into it. Then a print nozzle lays soft glue all over the non-essential parts of that sheet that will be broken away after manufacture. A second, high density glue is applied to the sections of the paper that will be used to form the final model. Then, the next sheet is drawn over the top of it, and the stack is pressed up against a heat plate that seals the two layers together.

Once all layers have been cut, glued and pressed together, the object comes out of the printer as a chunky sheaf of paper. But the waste material, with its softer glue, is slightly flexible and pre-cut into little cubes, so it pulls away quickly and easily from the much tougher, denser material of the object itself. The process can be seen in this video: "




Even without an outer coating, the final objects feel very solid – something like a medium density wood feel – and the print detail can be truly fantastic, miles ahead of what some other 3D printers are able to achieve. Some of the samples we looked at had started to peel apart a little bit – but then, these were road-weary trade samples that had been handled by hundreds of people. In general they felt very solid.

Geoff Hancock, CEO of DGS 3D, the Australian supplier of Mcor machinery, told us that while the paper-based print process was broadly useful in parts prototyping, presentation modelling, architectural modelling, sand casting and a range of other business use cases, one of the most successful areas of the business is in printing out miniaturized cityscapes, complete with topographical data.




"We can take the topographical map of an area, and then overlay a satellite photo to produce a 3-D model," said Hancock. "No other process can produce something that's both topographically accurate and printed to such fine resolution. Councils are going mad for it, and there's a guy in the US running around making full models of golf courses to put in the lobby. They look fantastic."




The Mcor machines are being installed in 3D print outsourcing centers, such as Staples in the US and Officeworks in Australia, in which there will soon be a service where customers can bring in their 3D models to be printed and sent back to them, or have themselves scanned and photographed on site and reproduced as their own miniature 3D figurines.

The materials are all so common and so affordable that a fist-sized object can be printed for as little as US$10-12. Cheap, durable, and full-color, full resolution prints make this a significant technology in 3D printing. Mcor can be expected to do well out of it!

Lots more sample items can be seen in the gallery. "

Record Radiation in South America - ENN - Jul 10, 2014

- Winfield Winter-
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47578
http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fenvs.2014.00…

"Astrobiologists from the United States and Germany recorded the highest known level of solar UV radiation to reach Earth's surface. This was around 10 years ago.


On December 29, 2003, the UV Index (UVI) peaked, reaching the blistering number of 43.3 over the Andes Mountains in Bolivia. To put this in context, a beachgoer in the United States would expect a UVI of 8 or 9 on a summer day. Even with an 8 or a 9, one may not escape the day without sunburn.

Nonetheless, it has taken scientists 10 years to detail a report of this data while taking into account all of the variables and anomalies monitored from an international network of dosimeters — or Eldonets (European Light Dosimeter Network) — that measure UV radiation worldwide. This system is comprised of more than 100 stations across 5 continents to account for variation in the atmosphere above each station.

In fact, around 35% of the peak data from the station at the summit of Licancabur volcano in the Andes was lost — it was only through the wide scope of Eldonets that the data could be recovered.


And the reason behind a staggering UVI of 43.3 — a list of uncertainties:

- Ozone depletion in a region where column ozone is naturally the thinnest

- NOAs (negative ozone anomalies), which has to do with air circulation

- A solar flare on November 4, 2003 that increased solar irradiance


Unlike the sky on that sunny summer day in 2003, the explanation behind the "perfect storm" of conditions is clouded.

But, what does this mean for us? 10 years removed from these dangerous conditions, CFCs and some other harmful aerosols have been phased out of every day use, but they still persist in the atmosphere. Ozone depletion means that we are running out of our natural sunscreen.

Short-wave ultraviolet radiation damages DNA and causes cancer, affects reproduction in all organisms, and prevents photosynthesis. Some plants that we rely on for food and entire food chains (phytoplankton) are even more sensitive to short-wave UV rays than humans. This is especially concerning to the future of food security in a world of rapid population growth. After all, plants can't reapply every 2 hours.

This report — 10 years in the making — attempts to shine light on the harsh reality of ozone depletion. "

The "World’s Oldest +Biggest Nanotechnology Company" - N - Jun 17, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/the-worlds-oldest-and-biggest-nanot…

"When George W. Bush signed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act in 2003, it wasn’t too long after that before investors began driving up the price of any stock that contained any variation of the word nanotechnology. In a previous article, we highlighted 6 companies that used the hype surrounding nanotechnology to burn through vast amounts of money before leaving investors holding the proverbial bag. However, not all nanotechnology companies that were around prior to 2004 have perished. One company that claims to be the oldest nanotechnology company around, Zyvex Technologies, was just acquired yesterday by OCSiAl in what has been described as the creation of the world’s largest nanotechnology company.





About

Zyvex was founded in 1997, as the first molecular nanotechnology company with the vision of developing atomically precise manufacturing. Over the years, Zyvex became structured as a holding company having three entities; Zyvex Technologies, Zyvex Labs, and Zyvex Instruments (sold to DCG Systems). Of the remaining two entities, Zyvex Technologies is the most promising having 10 years of development history behind the chemistry of carbon nanomaterial additives. Out of this research was born Kentera™, the trade name for Zyvex Technologies’ unique chemistry that creates ‘bridges’ between nanomaterials and resin systems. By 2007, the Kentera platform had already been used to commercialize several products. One of the Company’s products, Arovex®, is a carbon fiber prepreg which shows superior properties when compared to widely adopted competing materials as seen below:




Another product which was introduced in 2010 is Epovex, a next generation adhesive that incorporates carbon nanotubes into a 2-part epoxy adhesive that shows superior properties when compared to other competing adhesives:




Zyvex Technologies is targeting many applications across many industries. In 2012, Zyvex partnered with ENVE Composites to build new mountain bike rims, powered by Arovex®, which reduced fractures per season from 75 to zero. Typically aluminum rims were changed 180 times per season, but the new Mountain DH rims were used without replacement for an entire season, and carried ENVE-sponsored rider Greg Minnaar to victory at the 2012 World Cup opener in South Africa. This is a very niche market though, as these rims are made for downhill mountain bike racers who will need to part with around $1000 to ride on one of these rims.

In the aerospace industry, Zyvex developed a new carbon fiber variant of Arovex® for one of the largest global aerospace manufacturers for use in commercial engines. The nano-composite was tested against other composites over a period of two years and came out ahead of all other composites with +42% toughness, 0% weight gain, and competitive pricing. Nothing is said about adoption of this product following the test.

In what seems to be well outside the bounds of a materials company, in 2010 Zyvex Technologies produced the world’s first commercialized carbon nanotube enhanced unmanned boat named “the Piranha unmanned surface vessel“. Estimated to cost around $2 million, the Piranha claimed to offer a 75% reduction in fuel consumption costs due to the lightweight carbon hull, translating to increased range and lower operating costs. While the Company sold their first 54-foot lightweight boat in 2011, not much has been said since about the success the Company is having with future sales of this unique craft. If the hull is that efficient, why restrict it only to unmanned boats?

Zyvex seems to be following suit with past nanomaterial companies that target niche applications across multiple industries in hopes of capturing as much opportunity as quickly as possible. For some firms with truly innovative materials technology, an “Intel inside” approach may work where a licensing model is used to receive royalties off the product development efforts of others. For other firms, trying to target too many industry verticals leads to a lack focus and none of them manage to capture meaningful revenues. In this case Zyvex’s technology and products must have shown some promise for OCSiAl to purchase them though nothing is disclosed about the actual purchase price. Zyvex appears to have had around 13 employees when acquired bringing the total employees for the combined company to 160.

In a coming article, we’ll take a closer look at the acquiring company OCSiAl, a company that unveiled in November 2013 the world’s largest industrial plant for the synthesis of single walled carbon nanotubes (up to 10 tons per year). "

"Flexible Solar, from PowerFilm" - N - Jun 18, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/flexible-solar-from-powerfilm/

"In a past article we highlighted Ascent Solar, a publicly traded, flexible photovoltaics company with a market cap of around $46 million. While Ascent is targeting very niche markets with innovative solar charging products, their financial situation does not look so good. Ascent has about $1.6 million cash on hand and incurred a loss of around $30 million during 2013 on revenues of $1.3 million. The company is currently sitting on a deficit of nearly $300 million.

While Ascent seems to be burning through lots of cash and suffering large losses on small revenues, another publicly traded, flexible photovoltaics company, PowerFilm, seems to offer much more value for investors looking for exposure in this space.





About

PowerFilm, Inc. is an American manufacturer of flexible thin-film solar panels which trades on AIM in the UK under the symbol (LON:PFLM). PowerFilm was founded in 1988 by two former research physicists from 3M, Dr. Jeffrey and Dr. Grimmer. The two doctors first collaborated on thin film solar cell research whilst employed at 3M’s research laboratories. When 3M made the strategic decision not to pursue thin film technology any further, they resigned to establish PowerFilm. The Company was founded to develop and manufacture thin film solar panels in high volume and at low cost. Until their IPO in May 2006, the Company’s development since incorporation was largely funded through approximately US$14 million of development contracts and grants received from U.S. Government bodies to support the Company’s development of a manufacturing process for low cost solar panels and specific product development for the U.S. Army.


Financials

PowerFilm has a market cap of $4.6 million, just one-tenth the size of Ascent Solar. PowerFilm’s revenues for 2013 were $8.2 million with losses of $2.1 million compared to Ascent which had 2013 revenues of $1.3 million with losses of $30 million. Powerfilm’s revenues for 2013 were down -20% from the year prior. This is the second year in a row that Powerfilm’s revenues have decreased. As of the end of 2013, PowerFilm had $12.3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $12.8 million in 2012. Net of their debt, the company has $8.4 million in cash resources which is nearly twice the size of the company’s market cap.

Holding shares in PowerFilm has not been very rewarding for investors so far. An investor who would have bought shares on the day of the IPO in 2006 and held the shares until today would have paper losses of -94%, all the while having to tolerate high volatility and very low liquidity. PowerFilm announced a share buyback plan at the beginning of this year which would imply they believe their shares are undervalued.


Products

PowerFilm is addressing the Military, Custom OEM (especially Oil and Gas Exploration) and Consumer markets with a diversified line of solar products which they develop, manufacture, and market. In September 2012, the company announced a $3 million purchase order from the US Army for foldable solar panel chargers and a $2.2 development contract from the US Army to reduce the cost and to increase the power output from PowerFilm’s PowerShade solar field shelter. In May of this year, PowerFilm partnered with Bushnell Outdoors to launch a line of POWERSYNC custom solar products including the Bushnell Bear Grylls SolarWrap Mini USB Charger.

Like Ascent, PowerFilm also sells portable solar charging devices to niche markets. The 20W foldable charger from PowerFilm is compact and lightweight, the size of a laptop and weighs just over 20 ounces:



Currently selling for around $275 on Amazon, the charger can be used to power handheld GPS units, cell and satellite phones, and digital cameras or camcorders. The below pocket-sized solar charger from PowerFilm is a USB charger that also has two AA rechargeable batteries which can be fully charged in four hours of full sun:




Currently selling for around $75.00 on Amazon, this unit weighs just five ounces and when folded, is about the size of a wallet.

While PowerFilm has some unique products that target niche markets, some real potential for value creation could be realized from large future orders made by the US Army. Although PowerFilm has a strong balance sheet with minimal cash burn, company management seems concerned about threats from solar thin-film Chinese companies that have strong backing from the Chinese government. While PowerFilm seems like a much better play on flexible solar than Ascent from a valuation perspective, both of these flexible solar companies seem highly speculative. Any signs of revenue growth from either company should merit a second look. U.S. investors looking to invest in PowerFilm (LON:PFLM) on the AIM exchange should refer to our article on “How to Buy Foreign Stocks“. "

"Building Solar Cells, with Oxford Photovoltaics" - N/MITTR - Aug 23, 2013
www.nanalyze.com/2013/08/building-solar-cells-with-oxford-ph…
www.technologyreview.com/news/517811/a-material-that-could-m…

"In an earlier article titled “A Simple Introduction to Solar Cells” we discussed the future promise of “Emerging PV” that is the creation of solar cells using materials such as pervoskite or quantum dots to reduce the cost of solar energy which currently hinders more widespread adoption. One company that is working in this area is University of Oxford spin out, Oxford Photovoltaics.





History

Oxford Photovoltaics was spun out of the University of Oxford in 2011. Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Henry Snaith leads a research group of 17 scientists at the University of Oxford whose growing portfolio of patents is exclusively licensed to Oxford Photovoltaics. Dr. Snaith spent two years working under Professor Michael Gratzel for his postdoctoral research. As we recall from our previous article, Professor Gratzel is a solar pioneer who invented dye sensitized solar cells which won him the 2010 Millenium Technology Grand Prize. The company is backed by two UK venture capital firms; MTI Partners and Parkwalk Advisors both of which provided a first round of funding in February 2013 of around 3.11 million dollars. As of June 2013 the company had received a total of 6.54 million dollars in funding.


Business Model

The company does not consider itself a photovoltaics company but rather a manufacturer of aesthetically appealing glazing products that can be used to generate electricity. This concept is referred to as “Building-integrated photovoltaics” or BIPV and is distinguished by the solar solutions being integrated into the building during construction as opposed to being applied afterwards. The artist’s rendering of the colored building panels in the below picture helps visualize this concept:




Oxford Photovoltaics " "predicts" that manufacturing costs of their product will be around 50% less than the current lowest -cost thin film technology". This implies easy application and materials costs. In speaking with the CEO, Kevin Arthur, the company does not expect to see test modules until 2014.


Technology

Oxford Photovoltaics is developing solar cells using perovskite, an abundant material that is not only cheaper than silicon but can also be easily applied to substrates using a screen printing technique. On August 8 2013, MIT Technology Review published an article titled “A Material That Could Make Solar Power Dirt Cheap” which highlights the relatively recent use of perovskite and the promising future it may hold for solar energy. In this same article, Dr. Snaith made the following statements regarding the use of perovskite in solar cells:


Between 2009 and 2012 there was only one paper. Then in the end of the summer of 2012 it all kicked off. Efficiencies quickly doubled and then doubled again. It is highly unlikely that anyone will ever be able to just buy a tub of ‘solar paint,’ but all the layers in the solar cell can be fabricated as easily as painting a surface.


Below is a comparison between traditional photovoltaic solutions and those offered by Oxford Photovoltaics.

Conventional PV - Oxford Photovoltaics (BIPV)

Opaque - Range of transparency options
Blue, Brown or Black - Palette of colours and tints
Contains scarce elements and rare earths - Sustainable, abundant, organic ingredients.
Complex high temperature manufacturing - Simple screen printing manufacturing
High capital cost of manufacturing - Low capital cost of manufacturing
Heavy panels attached to buildings - Attractive panels integrated into building


On June 10 2013, the company announced that they have achieved 15.4% efficiency with their perovskite solar cells. As mentioned in our previous article about solar cells, the average solar cell efficiency is currently around 15%. Another challenge to meet is that building certification codes usually require a minimum 25-year guaranteed life for materials.


BIPV Market Outlook

According to an October 2012 article on PVTECH, the BIPV market in 2012 was 2.1 billion and expected to grow to 7.5 billion by 2015, an increase of 257% in only three years. In the same article another report by Design Build Solar estimates the revenues for BIPV glass products to be worth 4.2 billion alone by 2015 with revenues from the BIPV walling market to be 830 million.

Oxford Photovoltaics is not alone as there are many companies pursuing BIPV growth opportunities with varying degrees of success. In a future article we will look at publicly traded Australian company Dyesol who appears to be a possible competitor of Oxford Photovoltaics. This company was a pioneer licensee of patents from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne where the dye solar cell was invented by Professor Gratzel. In addition to that, Professor Gratzel resides as their Technology Advisory Board Chairman. "

Semprius "Prints World Record Solar Cells" - N - Feb 19, 2014

"Solar energy has been a roller coaster ride for investors over the past 5 years. Investors who wanted to purchase a diversified solar ETF five years ago may have invested in the Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSEARCA:TAN) when it debuted in April of 2008. Those same investors would have suffered a 94% loss by January 2013. However, should an investor have purchased TAN in January 2013, they would be up more than 130% today on their TAN position. Solar has now become economically viable, and one company looking to take advantage of this emerging growth opportunity is Semprius.





About

Founded in 2005, North Carolina based Semprius has taken in over $49 million in funding so far from the likes of ARCH Venture Partners, Intersouth Partners, Illinois Ventures, Siemens, In-Q-Tel, and others in addition to a grant from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of around $8 million. The founder of Semprius and previous winner of the MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Grant, John Rogers, is also the founder of MC10, the stretchable electronics company we highlighted several days ago.


Technology

Semprius " "claims" to use the world’s smallest solar cell, which is ~the size of a pencil point, to create solar modules with unmatched cost and performance advantages". In September 2013, Semprius stated that they set a new world record for photovoltaic module efficiency, reaching 35.5 percent (active area). The below graph puts into perspective just how this efficiency compares to more commonly used multicrystalline silicon and thin film solar cells:




With the current average solar cell efficiency of 15% being sufficient enough to power a typical house, the level of solar cell efficiency achieved by Semprius could allow home owners to realize some handsome profits through net metering. Semprius not only offers world record efficiencies, but also a low cost production method using their “micro-transfer printing technology”. This “micro-transfer printing technology” seems to be a core value proposition for Semprius as they are also looking to license it for non-solar applications such as flat- panel displays, flexible electronics, large-area sensors, and RF devices. In 2012, Semprius began high volume commercial production of their solar cells at their manufacturing facility in Henderson, North Carolina.

Semprius has strong backing, world record breaking solar cell efficiency, and a claimed, novel low cost production process. The question remains if Semprius can scale their business to meet the ever growing needs of the solar industry while maintaining their low cost of production. "

Stretchable Electronics, from MC10 - N - Feb 17, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/02/stretchable-electronics-from-mc10/

"Elastronics or “stretchable electronics” are an emerging class of electronics that mimic human skin in that they can retain full functionality while being stretched. This technology opens the door to many interesting applications such as cyber skin for robotic devices, screens that can double in size when stretched like rubber, fabrics that can illuminate, wallpaper lighting, seamless wearable health monitors, and the list goes on. One company making progress in commercializing stretchable electronics is MC10.





About

Founded in 2008, Cambridge Massachusetts based MC10 has taken in over $60 million in funding so far from the likes of North Bridge Venture Partners, Braemar Energy Ventures, Terawatt Ventures, Medtronic, and many others. The Company was co-founded by Professor John Rogers, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois and Director of the Seitz Materials Research Laboratory.


Intellectual Property

In addition to a number of patents and applications listed on the company webite, MC10 has license rights to over 150 US and foreign patents in the area of conformal electronics, nearly all of which are licensed exclusively to MC10. One of MC10’s issued patents titled “Extremely Stretchable Electronics (US 8389862)” provides more technical detail behind the underlying technology which appears to utilize “silicon nanoribbons”. This patent alone cites over 100 other patents along with over 800 non-patent citations.


Product Applications

Commercial applications for “stretchable electronics” are vast, and only limited by one’s imagination. MC10 is targeting applications in consumer goods, digital health, medical devices, industrials, and defense. One invention from MC10 is an ultra-thin, skin-like tatoo with tiny dots called a bio-stamp. Worn on the surface of the skin, this unobtrusive device can monitor body vitals. MC10 is also developing a catheter that has nanometer-thin sensors which can provide feedback during medical procedures. One of MC10′s first consumer products is the Reebok Checklight Sports Activity Impact Indicator which won the 2014 International CES Innovation Award for “Best of Innovations”. This product which M10 co-developed with Reebok is a revolutionary head impact indicator.




The sensing skullcap can be tucked under any helmet and logs the number of impacts recorded by the athlete. It also displays a yellow light for moderate impacts and a red light for severe impacts allowing for a coach or teammate to easily identify a possible concussion. Sports that this could be used for are rugby, American football, hockey, boxing, or any other high impact sport. The product can be purchased here for around $149.

MC10 has a strong IP portfolio, some unique product offerings, and strong financial backing. The Company merits watching, even if just to see what exciting new products they start offering based on their stretchable electronics technology. "

Printing Electronics, with PragmatIC Printing - N - Mar 25, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/03/printing-electronics-with-pragmatic…

"In a previous article we highlighted Camtek (NASDAQ:CAMT), a company that develops enhanced automated solutions for production processes in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry, and their intent to move into “3D printing”. Camtek is preparing to launch their “GreenJet 3D printer”, which in fact is a digital inkjet solder mask printing system which has been around since 2007. This printing system deposits solder mask on printed circuit boards, but is not capable of printing circuits on plastic, paper, card or metal surfaces that are flexible or curved. One company that caaaaan is PragmatIC Printing.





About

Cambridge UK based Pragmatic Printing acquired the printed electronics business of Nano ePrint Ltd. in 2010. Spun off from the University of Manchester in 2006, Nano ePrint was a specialist in the design and manufacturing of planar nano-electronics. Pragmatic Printing uses imprint lithography to produce sub-micron transistors on various substrates using physical force to pattern the elements, which has the potential to be very cost effective. The electronics can be integrated onto plastic, paper, card or metal surfaces, which may be curved or flexible.



- Ultra thin, flexible, transparent, nano-scale electronic devices – Source: Pragmatic -


The printed electronics can be partially transparent, or integrated into the artwork of the product, and are extremely thin so that they do not appear raised.


Technology Applications

While Pragmatic has used this technology to create electronic greeting cards for Tigerprint, a Hallmark subsidiary, they propose some much more interesting applications for this technology going forward. Animated branding can bring a brand logo to life by making it flash or change color when the consumer touches it. Brand protection could allow the consumer to easily authenticate products via a label that shows a logo when touched or placed near an RF source. Smart packaging can integrate useful functionality into packaging, for example a timer allowing the consumer to easily check how long their hair dye has been applied. All the potential applications for printed electronics have tremendous growth potential in the next six years as see in the below chart by NanoMarkets:




The above forecast by NanoMarkets calls for a $1.15 billion printed electronics market in 2014 which will grow to $16.7 billion in 2019, a CAGR of 58 percent. Recently Pragmatic partnered with Procter & Gamble and several other firms to create the world’s first flexible multi-functional timer based on commercially available printed electronics which will be distributed at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event in Berlin next month. The device consists of an electronic logic circuit implemented with thin film metal oxide transistors, powered by a printed battery, and integrated onto a paper substrate. The piece of paper has four individually controlled timing options, activated by bending or “dog-earing” one of the corners of the paper.

According to an article early last year in Electronics Weekly .com, Pragmatic was producing more than 10,000 flexible logic circuits per month on a pilot line and was expected to scale to a capacity of over 10 million logic circuits per year during 2013. A number of companies including ITW Foils, a part of $34 billion Illinois Tool Works, have licensed the printable circuit technology from Pragmatic. If the meteoric growth forecast from NanoMarkets comes true, Pragmatic will need to scale very quickly to begin capturing meaningful market share. "

Optomec 3D printed electronics, using nanomaterials - N - Jul 10, 2013
www.nanalyze.com/2013/07/optomec-prints-electronics-using-na…

"


One company discussed in the Nanlyze forums about 4 years ago was Optomec and their work in printing copper inks. In a March 2012 press release by Stratasys titled “3D Printing is merged with 3D electronics” it was noted that Stratasys and Optomec successfully completed a joint development project to merge 3D printing and printed electronics to create the world’s first fully printed hybrid structure seen below:




Given the collaboration between these two companies, it’s worth looking into Optomec a bit more.

Optomec is a privately held, profitable company which has now installed Additive Manufacturing Systems at 150 customer sites in 15 countries. They hold thirty (30) issued patents and another fifty (50) pending, all in the field of Additive Manufacturing.

One technology the company has developed is Aerosol Jet printing which is an additive manufacturing solution that reduces the overall size of electronic systems by using nanomaterials to produce fine feature circuitry and embedded components. Using this technology, leading research institutes have been able to print Thin Film Transistors using carbon nanotubes. Additionally, Aerosol Jet technology has been used to print antennas using conductive nanoparticle silver inks. Mobile device antennas including LTE, NFC, GPS, Wifi, WLAN, and BT have been printed using the Aerosol Jet process and independently tested by a leading cell phone component supplier. The company states that a new high volume process will soon be available which will lower manufacturing costs for antennas used in mobile devices. Advantages of these printed antennas include:




In another example the Aerosol Jet system was used to print a conformal sensor, antenna, and power and signal circuitry directly onto the wing of a UAV model. The wing itself was 3D printed by Stratasys.

In addition to printed electronics technology, The company also has a product line of 3D metal printers that use a technology called LENS which uses the energy from a high-power laser to build up metal structures one layer at a time. In June 2013, Optomec announced the availability of a new low cost offering in its line-up of metal 3D Printers named the LENS 450.




In addition to the LENS 450, the company also offers the LENS MR-7 for research and development, and the LENS 850R production repair system. Materials supported include titanium, stainless steel, nickel, cobalt and other alloys. "

Will "NANTHEALTH 'Revolutionize' the U.S. Healthcare System?" - N - Jun 23, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/will-nanthealth-revolutionize-the-u…

"In evaluating the merits of a company, one promising indication of future success is to look at the pedigree of the company’s leadership. This is where most over-the-counter stocks fail miserably, and this is also wear success can beget further success for tenured executives who have proven their talents for creating value. One man, Patrick Soon-Shiong, has done just this and made himself the wealthiest American in the healthcare industry having amassed a fortune of $7.2 billion.

Soon-Shiong invented the first FDA approved nanoparticle delivery technology for the treatment of breast cancer, Abraxane, which is now approved in over 40 countries. The company he founded to develop and maufacture Abraxane, Abraxis Biosciences, was sold to Celgene for around $3 billion in 2010. Prior to that, Soon-Shiong founded and sold American Pharma Partners (APP) to Fresenius, a German dialysis company, for $5.6 billion, of which he got $3 billion. Now Soon-Shiong is looking to take his Midas touch and revolutionize healthcare with one of his NANTWORKS companies, NANTHEALTH.





About

Soon-Shiong has historically held on to a vast majority of the equity in his companies, and what better way to do so than through a holding company. NANTWORKS is Soon-Shiong’s holding company for various companies wearing the “NANT” brand as seen below:




Of the above companies, NANTOMICS, and NANTCLOUD are product offerings that fall under NANTHEALTH. NANTMEDIA and NANTBIOPHARMA seem to be operating in stealth mode with the latter taking in a $75 million investment from Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG) earlier this year. Nothing can be found yet for NANTMEDIA. NANTMOBILE is a technology company which is developing a mobile recognition technology platform. Of all these companies, it is NANTHEALTH that is emerging from stealth mode with some truly innovative products and solutions.

Founded in 2007, California based NANTHEALTH has taken in $166 million in funding so far including an undisclosed amount from Blackberry and a $100 million investment from the Kuwait Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world. Just several weeks ago, Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG) also announced a $25 million investment in NANTHEALTH. Verizon has also made an undisclosed investment in NANTHEALTH to develop a secure fiber-optic, cloud-based data infrastructure to deliver multimedia healthcare information to mobile devices.


The Nanthealth Value Proposition

The entire ecosystem is referred to as the “clinical operating system” (cOS) and encompasses many potential verticals as seen below:




In order to enable the rapid data transmissions required when transporting healthcare data across the platform, NANTHEALTH has laid down 12,000 miles of fiber optics in 21 states across the United States. The cOS system which is installed at approximately 250 hospitals, connects more than 16,000 medical devices collecting more than 3 billion vital signs annually in 2013. NANTHEALTH’s drug discovery capabilities already include a comprehensive cancer clinical trials search engine, a database of thousands of clinical trials, and access to one of the fastest and most advanced infrastructures for genomic analysis in the world today. Using this infrastructure, NANTHEALTH has reduced reduced cancer genome analysis from months to seconds at a rate equivalent to 47 seconds per patient. 50% of oncologists in the U.S. are currently utilizing a fact-based software platform from NANTHEALTH called eviti. Using this platform, the number of cases where doctors have made incorrect recommendations has dropped from 32% to virtually zero. Over the past 12 months, over 2,000 oncology practices have installed and began using eviti to positively impact thousands of cancer patients lives. NANTHEALTH also offers a medicine adherence product called GlowCaps which is integrated into the cOS platform. GlowCaps are caps for prescription bottles that alert the user they need to take their medicine with visual indicators and sound.




The cap is also smart enough to know when you last took your medicine and can even send texts or emails to patient/doctor/family if it thinks you’re not following your medicine regime. It will also contact the pharmacy and arrange for your refill via a button you press on the cap. These are just some of the promising value propositions made available by the cOS platform. The amount of traction made already in cOS platform usage and adoption by oncologists is impressive for a company just exiting stealth mode.


In Conclusion

Soon-Shiong has already closed $100 million in funding for his startups from Celgene, a company that knows him well having given him $3 billion for his last successful company, Abraxane. The KIA is no doubt a very scrupulous and risk averse investor given the fact that they are a sovereign wealth fund and yet they have invested $100 million into NANTHEALTH in a single round. Backing from these two entities shows that the aspirations Soon-Shiong has to create an ecosystem that will revolutionize healthcare may well just come to fruition. If an exit strategy is to go to the public markets and look to get acquired like in the case of his previous two companies, investors may get a chance to participate in a future IPO.

As we continue to follow NANTHEALTH’s progress, we’ll also look to deep dive into more of Soon-Shiong’s NANTWORKS companies as they move out of stealth mode and more information about them becomes available. "

Scientists at University Southern California have been working on the new battery forms that use no metals or toxic materials.



- USC – Sri Narayan, professor of chemistry. USC professor Sri Narayan’s research focuses on the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemical energy conversion and storage to reduce the carbon footprint of energy use and by providing energy alternatives to fossil fuel. -


“The batteries last for about 5,000 recharge cycles, giving them an estimated 15-year lifespan,” said Sri Narayan, professor of chemistry at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

“Lithium ion batteries degrade after around 1,000 cycles, and cost 10 times more to manufacture.”

As well as being long-lasting, and cheap, they are aimed use in power plants, where they could apparently make the energy grid more resilient and efficient.

Wheeeeere's the Plaaastic? - ENN/C2/UoWA - Jul 3, 2014

- Kevin Matthews -
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47553
www.care2.com/causes/theres-less-plastic-in-the-ocean-than-w…

"According to a new study, 99% of plastic waste that enters the ocean cannot be located. While initially hearing that there's less plastic in the ocean than we believed sounds like great news, it's actually a frightening prospect. After all, if the plastic iiisn't in the ocean ... wheeeeere is it going?!


A team from the University of Western Australia spent a couple of years sailing around the world in five vessels hoping to accurately record just how much plastic is actually in the ocean. Although researchers expected to discover millions of tons, they were surprised to calculate that they only calculated about 40,000 tons of plastic floating on the surface.

Rather than rejoicing, scientists are concerned that this is a sign that fish and other forms of sea life are eating the plastic . We already know that as the sun breaks down plastic into smaller pieces, that plastic looks more like food to fish and they try to eat it. With so much plastic apparently missing, it's not a leap to guess that marine life is regularly making a meal of human garbage.

Scientists point out that plastics attract the ocean's toxins, so when fish eat them, they're essentially consuming poison. While the health of the fish is a concern, this possibility has massive repercussions for the whole food chain. Fish that eat that fish than take the mercury and DDT into their own bodies. Humans and land animals that eat those fish, in turn, are also exposed to these toxins.

It might not necessarily be that bleak, though. Some hope that the fish just wind up dispelling the plastic from their bodies (think pooping or regurgitation) would help to minimize the effects, although further research will need to be conducted to confirm if that’s the case.

Notably, the researchers concede that the plastic could be disappearing for multiple reasons, including being weighed down and sinking to the bottom or slowly breaking into undetectable pieces. Still, they assert that it is "indisputable" that at least a large portion of the plastic is being consumed by marine life. "

Obama, Malaysia, Verdezyne, +business as unusual in the bioeconomy, How a small, development-stage industrial biotech company, making chemicals you neeever heard of, landed $48.000.000 in new investment, +a $100.000.000 valuation from investors like BP. And "how they got 'so hot', that figures like President Obama +the Malaysian Prime Minister attend an investment signing ceremony" - BD - Apr 28, 2014

- J. Lane -
www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/04/28/obama-malaysia-ver…

"In Malaysia, Verdezyne has negotiated key terms for an investment of $48 million led by Malaysian multinational conglomerate, Sime Darby Berhad. The initiative was launched in a ceremony on Monday, April 28, at the Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, attended by United States President Barack Obama, Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Razak, Verdezyne President and CEO E. William Radany, Ph.D., and Sime Darby Berhad President and Group Chief Executive, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Mohd Bakke Salleh.

Led by Sime Darby, this $48 million financing for Verdezyne was joined by existing investors BP Alternative Energy Ventures, DSM Venturing B.V., OVP Venture Partners, and Monitor Ventures. Individually, Sime Darby was reported to invest $30 million in return for a 30 percent stake in the company, which would give Verdezyne a valuation of $100 million

The funds will be used to accelerate Verdezyne’s technology development in the U.S., and support various collaborative projects with Sime Darby’s newly-formed business unit, Sime Darby Renewables.

The investment was part of an overall $2 billion investment in aviation, insurance and industrial biotechnology announced between Malaysia and the US yesterday.


Why Verdezyne, why Malaysia?

Why Verdezyne? Think nylons, polyesters, giobers, polyurethanes, lubricants and resins. All made from obscure, low-cost feedstocks that allow the company to match (or beat) petroleum-based equivalents on price and performance, while reducing carbon emissions.




Why Malaysia?

Think palm production residue. Cost of feedstocks is 50%- 80% of total cost. At the same time, competition with food and fuel creates social tension. Meanwhile, ethanol mandates have increased sugar price and volatility.




On the other hand, expansion of the crude palm oil market has created a dramatic increase in supply of co-products such as palm kernel oil, palm fatty acid distillate, and palm fruit bunches. This creates a favorable supply vs. demand pricing structure, while not impacting the food supply.




Hooooow do they do it? In a word, engineered yeast. OK, that’s two words. So, engineeredyeast. It’s practically one word these days — so prevalent is engineering of yeast to produce wonder products from wonder feedstocks.







Namely, biobased adipic, sebacic and dodecandioic acid. Notice that there’s a lot of oxygen in these organic acids — that’s an advantage for biobased, because biomass comes with its own oxygen, while petrochemical feedstocks need supplemental oxygen, and lots of it — as much as 50% of the molecule by weight will come from outside the petroleum barrel.







And, what a range of molecules that can be produced from these platforms.

Meanwhile, the company has been proceeding rapidly towards scale-up and aiming to commercialize its DDDC product line first.




Reaction from the principals

“It is an honor and a true privilege that both President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Najib Razak chose to attend our signing ceremony today,” commented Dr. Radany. “It speaks to the significance of this agreement for the renewable chemicals space and to strengthening ties between the U.S. and Malaysia. Moreover, it highlights the important environmental and geo-political benefits of replacing petroleum-derived materials with renewable sources.”

“We see this investment as symbolic of stronger business ties between the two countries, and the beginning of a long-term partnership with Verdezyne,” commented Tan Sri Mohd Bakke. “Sime Darby’s investment will accelerate the development of Verdezyne’s technology and create opportunities to leverage our sustainable palm based materials into higher-value downstream renewable products.” "

Mongolia lifts prohibition on new exploration licences, to attract investments - MT/MNGS - Jul 3, 2014
www.mining-technology.com/news/newsmongolia-lifts-prohibitio…

"The Mongolian parliament has revoked a four-year suspension on granting new mineral exploration licences to attract investments in the sector and boost economy.


The parliament has amended the 2006 Minerals Law to implement policy changes pertaining to exploration and related investments.

The amendments, which will be effective after their formal publication, extend the mineral exploration period to 12 years from the current nine.

The draft bill provides for the formation of a national geological survey and the creation of a policy council, to address the challenges faced by the mining industry.

Mongolia mining vice-minister Erdenebulgan Oyun told Bloomberg in May that mining law amendments will increase the area available for mining and exploration to 20% from about 8%.

The move is part of Mongolian Prime Minister Altankhuyag Norov's plan to boost the nation's economy within 100 days, following two years of slow growth and dwindling foreign investments.

Declining coal prices and disputes with foreign investors have contributed partly to the fall in foreign direct investment (FDI). The FDI fell 52% last year and 64% in the first five months this year, reported Bloomberg.

Oyun noted that the new mining and energy laws may lead to $1bn in new investments.

Ministry of Mining department of strategic policy and planning director general Otgochuluu Chuluuntseren said passage of the amendments may also lead to the revocation of last year's cancellation of 106 mining licences.

In addition to mining law, the parliament has also voted against the government proposal to buy a 34% stake in the Tsagaan Suvarga copper and molybdenum project owned by Ulaanbaatar-based Mongolyn. "

Carbon tax repealed, The Abbott Government has repeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaled the carbon tax today - MA - Jul 17, 2014
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/carbon-tax-repealed?mid=1a95…

"The Abbott Government has repealed the carbon tax today.

It comes after the initial repeal was blocked in the senate earlier this year.

The move, which was signalled by Abbott in his election run, has been a divisive one with carbon emissions reduction plans scrapped weighed against more than $700 million in costs for this financial year directly from the carbon tax on the QLD mining industry.

Following the announcement, Abbott stated that he had achieved the election promise of ‘axing the toxic tax’.

It was followed by an email to the Coalition’s supporters stating: “This is great news for Australian families and for our nation's small businesses.”

The news was welcomed by the NSW Minerals Council, the Queensland Resources Council, and the Australian Mines and Metals Association.

The QRC stated that “one of Australia’s biggest public policy mistakes in decades has been fittingly consigned to the dustbin with today’s repeal of the carbon tax legislation”.

“Repeal of the carbon tax is good news for the Queensland economy,” QRC CEO Michael Roche said.

“The carbon tax was a massive double-fail.

“It failed to achieve its environmental objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while loading the Australian economy with costs over and above anything imposed on minerals and energy export competitors.”

The NSW Minerals Council added that this repeal will help to save resources jobs, congratulating the Government on the decision.

“This tax was a burden on mining in NSW and more than 10,500 businesses servicing the sector, from Western Sydney to Western NSW and from Wollongong to Werris Creek,” the NSWMC stated.

It called the tax “a dead weight that put our NSW miners at a disadvantage to overseas competitors - all economic pain with no environmental gain - and has contributed to our state falling as a destination for mining investment”.

According to the ABC in Broken Hill, the carbon tax directly cost miner Perilya $3.5 million a year.

The AMMA was emphatic in its support of the repeal.

“Repealing the carbon tax removes one of two ideologically driven, flawed taxes imposed by the former government that have added unnecessary costs and risk to investing and doing business in Australia,” AMMA chief executive Steve Knott said.

“The next step in restoring Australia’s global competitiveness should be repealing the Minerals Resources Rent Tax (MRRT).

“We need to remove the impediments that stand in the way of further development of our resources sector and secured the associated employment opportunities and economic growth.”

However there has been massive backlash from the opposition and the Greens.

In addressing the Parliament prior to the repeal’s passing, Labor’s Lisa Singh said “we are about to devastate the future of this country”.

Greens leader Christine Milne stated her party will fight to bring back the tax under “a more rigorous framework of legislation that will get Australia on to the track we need to be on, and that is a 40 to 60 per cent emissions reduction target on 2000 levels by 2030”.

Greens MP Adam Bandt slammed Abbott on Twitter, stating: "Tony Abbott has just let polluters pollute for free. He has failed his first duty: to protect our way of life. History will condemn you, PM".

Barnaby Joyce took a middle ground approach to the repeal, stating that "I believe that there is climate change happening, I just don't believe that we are going to change it with a broad-based consumption tax”.

The mining tax is now in the Coalition’s sights for a repeal. "

Grupo Mexico plans to mine , rare earths - MT - Jul 16, 2014
www.mining-technology.com/news/newsgrupo-mexico-plans-to-min…

"Mexico's largest mining company Grupo Mexico is planning to diversify into rare earth metals business, to meet the growing demand in the electronics, automotive and energy sectors.


The move by the company came after the Mexican Government recently announced its plans to fund exploration projects for locating rare earth metal deposits.

The government came forward for funding, after the recent tests by Mexican universities found that Sonora, Chihuahua, Oaxaca and Chiapas states in the country have huge deposits of rare earth, which can be recovered in economically viable ways.

Mexican scientists reported concentrations of 10% to 15% in Oaxaca, 4% to 5% in Hidalgo, and 4% in Coahuila, Sonora, Sinaloa and Durango.

Rare earth metals are being widely used in a variety of industries including green technology, consumer electronics and high-tech applications. China is currently the largest producer of the metal, accounting for 95% of the world's production.

According to Mexico's Geological Survey (SGM), the global demand for rare earth metals is expected to reach 160,000t in 2016, out of which 80% will be produced by China, leaving ample prospect for companies like Grupo, reported Mining Global.

Apart from Chinese mines, only two mines with rare earth metals are currently in operations across the world, namely Lynas-owned Mount Weld mine in Australia and Molycorp-owned mine in California.

Grupo Mexico has exploration projects and operations in Mexico, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina and the US, where it mines copper, molybdenum, zinc, silver, gold and lead ores. "

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

"The research demonstrates the potential of high-temperature superconductors for applications in a range of fields, including flywheels for energy storage, ‘magnetic separators’, which can be used in mineral refinement and pollution control, and in high-speed levitating monorail trains.
New record for a trapped field in a superconductor, beating a record that has stood for more than a decade, could herald the arrival of materials in a broad range of fields.

A world record that has stood for more than a decade has been broken by a team led by University of Cambridge engineers, harnessing the equivalent of three tonnes of force inside a golf ball-sized sample of material that is normally as brittle as fine china.

The Cambridge researchers managed to ‘trap’ a magnetic field with a strength of 17.6 Tesla – roughly 100 times stronger than the field generated by a typical fridge magnet – in a high temperature gadolinium barium copper oxide (GdBCO) superconductor, beating the previous record by 0.4 Tesla. The results are published today in the journal Superconductor Science and Technology. ..."

Novogen " "targets " clinic with 'potentially game-changing cancer drugs' " - AI - Jul 21, 2014
www.theaustralianinvestor.com.au/magazine.aspx?id=3777

"Australian oncology drug development company, Novogen (ASX:NRT) has developed two-breakthrough drug technologies designed to deliver a complementary one-two knockout blow against most forms of cancer. Four of the company’s potentially world-changing drugs are headed for the clinic within the next two years.

Novogen has set itself the lofty goal of conquering cancer through the eradication of the complete hierarchy of cancer cells within a tumour.

This ‘hierarchy’ within a tumour is a relatively recent discovery. Prior to that, tumours were thought to be composed of the one type of cancer cell that just grew exponentially. This is the so-called ‘clonal’ cancer theory. It is now known that cancers mostly start with a parent cell (or cancer stem cell) that produces daughter cells that then grow exponentially. The parent cancer stem cells and the daughter cancer cells are different cells that are the two main types of cancer cells within the tumour.

Daughter cancer cells can respond to radiotherapy and chemotherapy; cancer stem cells to date have proved to be completely resistant to all forms of therapy.

Developing drugs that kill the cancer stem cells has become a priority in medical research and a number of companies currently are pursuing different strategies to kill these highly resistant cells.

“We believe we have come up with the best strategy to kill both forms of cancer cells, and to be able to do so across most forms of cancer,” Novogen Executive Chairman and CEO, Dr Graham Kelly, told The Australian Investor.

Super-Benzopyrans (SBPs)

The linchpin technology in the Novogen strategy is a breakthrough family of drugs known as super-benzopyrans (SBPs). These drugs have been designed to destroy both the cancer stem cell and the daughter cancer cell. Novogen has applied for international patents on this family of drugs.

“Our understanding is that the SBPs are the first family of anti-cancer drugs ever developed that kill the full range of cancer cells in a cancer. This is an Australian discovery of which we are entitled to feel very proud,” Kelly said.

“I use the term ‘family’ because we have found that by manipulating the shape of the basic molecule, we obtain drugs with different preferences for different cancers, itself an entirely novel discovery.”

“From this family, we have settled on 3 SBP drugs – Cantrixil, Trilexium and Trx-7.”

Cantrixil is the first product to emerge from the joint venture, CanTx Inc, between Novogen and Yale University. Cantrixil has been developed for tumours that start in the abdomen and largely stay within the abdomen. This includes cancer of the ovaries, pancreas and bowel. Cantrixil has been designed to be delivered directly into the peritoneal cavity of women with ovarian cancer.

“Tumours like ovarian cancer spread throughout the abdomen by the cancer stem cells - the cells that initiate the tumour in the first place. Cantrixil has been designed to seek out and to hit these cancer stem cells.”

“A number of companies are developing new therapies designed to kill the daughter cancer cells, but Cantrixil will be the first new drug specifically designed to kill both the daughter cancer cells and their parent cancer cells.”

On the 17th June, Novogen and CanTx announced the success of animal studies confirming the potency of Cantrixil in blocking the progression of ovarian cancer in the abdomen of the mice that had been started with human ovarian cancer stem cells. The details of this work is available on the website www.can-tx.com. "

Aquila Resources reports positive results, for new Michigan project PEA - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Jul 23, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/aquila-resources-reports-positi…

"Great Lakes-focused Aquila Resources on Wednesday reported the positive results of a new preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on its flagship Back Forty gold/zinc project, in Michigan, US.

Completed by consulting engineering firm Tetra Tech, the new PEA considered various trade-off studies that looked at different mine configurations to determine the optimal scenario for the project and incorporated a revised mine plan based on results from Aquila’s 2013 resource update.

The PEA envisioned mining 16.1-million tonnes of ore over the 16-year mine life, of which 12.5-million tonnes would come from the openpit and 3.6-million tonnes from an underground operation.

Aquila said the PEA demonstrated the potential for a diverse earnings stream, representing a payable metal value mix of 41.2% gold, 40.5% zinc, 12% copper, 5.7% silver and 0.6% lead.

The PEA assumed a base price of $1 293/oz of gold and $20.46/oz of silver, while the zinc price was modelled at $0.96/lb, copper at $3.18/lb and lead at $0.96/lb.

Under the base case scenario, the Back Forty project was expected to have an after-tax net present value at a 6% discount of $184.7-million, providing an internal rate of return of 28.9% and a capital expenditure (capex) payback period of 2.1 years.

Operating at an initial throughput rate of 5 350 t/d, the mine’s total payable output was expected to be 532 000 oz of gold, 704-million pounds of zinc, 63-million pounds of copper, 4.65-million ounces of silver and 11-million pounds of lead.

The project would cost $261-million to build, more than the previous estimate of $224.7-million. Capex comprised $177-million of direct preproduction capex, a $44-million contingency and $40-million of indirect and owner’s costs.

The PEA estimated the average on-site operating costs at $29.25/t for processed ore from the openpit and $66.20/t of ore processed from the underground mine.

Further, the near-surface characteristics of the orebody provided the company with the opportunity to develop a low-capex, high-grade initial phase operation, the economics of which were still being evaluated as part of the PEA.

“The results from our PEA validate our decision to acquire 100% of Back Forty and focus on strategic assets in this promising region. The PEA and new mine plan show marked improvements across key metrics. Ultimately, we believe this PEA demonstrates the potential of Back Forty while carefully considering the interests of all our key stakeholders,” Aquila CEO Barry Hildred said.

Aquila chairperson Mark Burridge added that the company’s focus now shifted to restarting project development at Back Forty. “The PEA provides a path forward for the next set of project milestones, including the ramp-up of permitting activities and the start of a feasibility study and an exploration programme initially focused on near-mine satellite targets,” he pointed out.

Aquila and TSX-V-listed REBgold in November announced that the companies would combine their businesses, after which the merged entity would buy the remaining 51% interest in the Back Forty from Hudbay and complete nonbrokered financing through a private placement of REBgold shares of up to $6-million, at a price of $0.13 a share. The deal closed in January.

The Back Forty project is an advanced-staged exploration project delineating a zinc- and gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit located within the Penokean volcanic belt. Over the past ten years, Aquila and various joint venture partners have spent more than $50-million exploring and advancing the Back Forty project.

The project currently holds 15.1-million tons in the measured and indicated categories, and 2.3-million tons of inferred resources.

The updated measured and indicated resource estimate contained 987 236 oz of gold, 11.91-million ounces of silver, 1.02-billion pounds of zinc, 74.3-million pounds of lead and 110.4-million pounds of copper. The inferred category also held an estimated 155 885 oz of gold, 1.99-million ounces of silver, 113.3-million pounds of zinc, 17.2-million pounds of lead and 18.6-million pounds of copper.

Despite gaining C$0.02 a share on the TSX on Wednesday, at C$0.11 apiece, Aquila’s stock was down 37.5% from the start of the year. "

" The International Seabed Authority (ISA) has gotten behind seabed mining after issuing seven new underwater mining licences.

The Authority, which is part of the UN, approved the applications earlier this week.

Three plans of work were approved for the exploration of polymetallic nodules for United Kingdom Seabed Resources, Ocean Mineral Singapore, and the Cook Islands Investment Corporation.




The Government of India, the Germany Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, as well as the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Brazil's Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerias had applications approved as well.

It comes after the United Nations published its first plan for deep sea mining.

The ISA's legal counsel Michael Lodge has stated "we are at the threshold of a new era of deep seabed mining".

Underwater mining has been touted as the new frontier for the resources industry.

While the economic costs seem prohibitive, there are rich pickings to found on the seabed.

The minerals are characteristically found near hydrothermal vents which form above cracks in the ocean floor, typically in volcanic areas of the seabed.

They are created when water seeps into the bowels of the earth, dissolving the minerals found under the crust which is then spewed forth once more into the ocean, bringing it with the metal rich fluids.

This creates massive plumes of debris that shoots upwards and then falls back to the ocean floor; gradually building up the vents, layer up layer, until they reach a height where they eventually collapse on themselves, creating the mineral rich and often high grade, sulphide deposits over the shell of the vent.

These deposits can be up to seven times the grades typically mined on the surface.




It just so happens that a high number of these vents are found near Australia and right around the Western Pacific's rim

However underwater mining has been a contentious issue.

Greenpeace has been vehement about stopping seabed mining, released a report last year in an effort to raise awareness.

In its 20 page report, Greenpeace state that seabed mining "poses a major threat to our oceans", adding that "all types of seabed mining will kill whatever can't escape the mineral extraction operations".

It also highlighted the risk for accidents if an ore barge were to sink, as well as the potential of oil or hydraulic fluid leak from machinery on the seafloor.

It is also a contentious issue in Australia.

After a spike in the number of seabed exploration applications off the Northern Territory coast, the state banned seabed mining until at least 2015, during which an assessment on the impact of underwater mining will be carried out.

However Northern Territory Mines and Energy Minister said the moratorium on seabed mining could be lifted before 2015 following discussions with traditional owners about their concerns over seabed mining applications.

The land owners, the Anindilyakwa Land Council, say operations between the island and mainland threaten sacred sites, with The Northern Land Council head Kim Hill adding that there is a lack of research regarding the method.

New Zealand has also pushed back against underwater mining, with the NZ EPA refusing consent for seabed iron sands mining.

However Nautilus Minerals has progressed with its operations off PNG, and has begun building its underwater miner.

India is currently building a processing plant and investing in seabed mining equipment, spending around US$ 135 million in the process, while it has been reported the Sudan and Saudi Arabia are working together to start underwater mining in the Red Sea, where there is believed to be one of the largest hydrothermal polymetallic deposits in the world.

California Department of Technology +IBM Announce CalCloud, the 'Next Generation Technology Service' - Jul 24, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/07/24/california…

"SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Department of Technology and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced CalCloud, a new technology model powered by cloud computing to build and deliver more innovative government services and savings.


The platform, now available to municipalities and all state and local government agencies on a subscription basis, is the first of its kind to be implemented in the United States at the state level.

Through CalCloud, the California Department of Technology is providing next-generation tools that offer access to IT services at the rapid pace that customers demand while minimizing upfront capital investment and controlling financial risk.

Instead of separate IT systems for each department, the CalCloud service model allows government entities to share a common pool of computing resources and operate much more efficiently than they do today. Immediate access to modern back-end services frees up state department to focus on projects with direct impact on the public.

"CalCloud is an important step towards providing faster and more cost effective IT services to California state departments and ultimately to the citizens of California," said Marybel Batjer, Secretary of the Government Operations Agency.

More than 20 state departments have already requested IT services through CalCloud.

As part of this public-private partnership, IBM is supplying and managing the infrastructure, while the California Department of Technology will manage all other aspects of the service offering. Additionally, IBM will work closely with the state to transfer essential knowledge and best practices in security and systems integration to the Department of Technology.

California's move to offer shared IT services through CalCloud gives state and local government the ability to buy only the computing resources needed with the flexibility to quickly scale up or scale down resources as workloads demand. CalCloud is designed to allow around the clock access to a shared pool of easily configurable resources including compute, storage, network and disaster recovery services. CalCloud meets stringent security standards based on National Institute of Standards (NIST) for cloud based services and FedRAMP.

"Transforming how the State of California delivers technology services is not only more efficient and cost effective, it will spur innovation with cloud capabilities that are open and secure," said Erich Clementi, Senior Vice President, IBM Global Technology Services. "California is setting an example for other states on how to use cloud technology to improve coordination across agencies and municipalities while reducing the barriers and duplication that can impede the delivery of government services."

In addition to IBM, CalCloud partners include AT&T, which will provide excellent network services for the core and edge networks, and IT consulting firms Alexan International, Inc., and KPMG, LLC to drive CalCloud's adoption rate and migration to the new service.

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.

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

SurePure Announces Commercial Deal with HELPAC, a "Major Essential Oils +Floral Water Bio-Producer"; 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 +total viable counts, without inducing any modification of product, particularly its fragrance. Sure Pure UV technology will replace a very costly 0,2 microns filtration process, +will enable HELPAC to bring its floral water under the 10 CFU/ml regulatory limit in cosmetic industry, @a very reasonable cost +with much less operational constraints; Mr. Guy Kebble: "We are very pleased with the results of our trial work with a significant manufacturer +marketer of natural biologic floral water for 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" - Mar 28, 2014

SurePure Announces Results Of Dairy Study, "Underlining Efficacy Of Patented Photopurification Technology", The study "A Microbiological, Biochemical +Sensory Characterisation of Bovine Milk Treated by Heat +Ultraviolet(UV) Light for Manufacturing Cheddar Cheese" was completed in collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry @Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa +the Department of Biotechnology @the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. The results have been accepted for publication in "Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies" - Apr 9, 2014

SurePure Announces " 'Breakthrough' in 'Contaminated Marine Diesel Purification, Without Biocides' "; The contamination of diesel fuel is a significant problem for the maritime shipping industry, leading to extensive waste of fuel +environmental contamination. The industry is seeking to improve 'conventional means' by which it cleans fuel, where micro-organisms have proliferated. SurePure, in conjunction with a South African oil industry consultant Lemon Tree Holdings, applied its 'proprietary Turbulator technology' in a test conducted in April @Stellenbosch, South Africa. In the test, a simple initial centrifuge 1st separated the slurry, formed as by-product of microbial growth in the marine diesel fuel on the diesel/water interface +split the bio-film "micro-web" that had formed inside the fuel. Then, the fuel was processed through SurePure's patented Turbulator technology, to kill the micro-organisms in the fuel. The results of the test showed a total log reduction of 3.40(log reduction is the accepted measurement for purification) achieved from a starting Total Viable Count(TVC) before centrifuge @some 24.800 colony forming units/millilitre(commonly referred to as cfu/ml) +finishing TVC after treatment by SurePure's Turbulator technology @only 10 cfu/ml. With an analysed industry average of "refinery fresh" diesel generally being measured @480 cfu/ml, the SurePure process results are "indicative of the 'potential' to clean marine diesel fuel, even if severely compromised by micro-organism infestation". Full color restoration to the normal yellow diesel colour, from a black contaminated diesel tone, was also observed in the test. Simple burnability +in-use in engine testing evidenced no deficiency in the rejuvenated diesel samples; Guy Kebble: "These early test data "are "extremely promising" for the marine diesel industry in particular, but possibly for all fuel diesel in time to come. Not only could the immediate environmental benefit from a significantly reduced amount of contaminated diesel fuels to be dumped or aimlessly burnt, but the recovery of severely contaminated marine diesel may be able to deliver considerable savings to the industry +increased profits to processors". Indeed, it may be possible in the future that small SurePure installations on-board ship 'could' help eradicate microbial contamination of marine diesel @the source, with commensurate savings in tank cleaning, +fuel loss. Cleaner fuels 'may' also ensure better fuel economy +engine efficiency +even the extension of the life of engine components. This "is only the beginning of our 'exploration' of the 'potential' benefits of SurePure's Turbulator technology in the diesel industry, but we "believe" that, together with the 'right petrochemical partners', we "may" be able to extract significant value from this application" - Apr 23, 2014

SurePure Announces Preliminary Results for Additional Commercial Application of its 'Patented Photopurification Technology', in Dairy Industry; Driven primarily by a desire to save energy, by using cold-processing rather than pasteurization in the manufacture of cheese, Oaksprings Dairy in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, has been utilizing SurePure's technology. Oaksprings has reported to SurePure that it has experienced further benefits associated with SurePure's technology; Mr. Leigh Reyneke: "Given the rising cost of energy +the sometimes intermittent supply in rural areas of South Africa we were looking to reduce our electricity bill, by reducing our reliance on our pasteuriser. We have experienced savings in the order of 75% in our energy costs, with this technology. "So the SurePure 'promise of being able to eliminate thermal processing of the cheese is very attractive to us'." SurePure's academic research "suggested we should also enjoy a ~10% yield increase, due to the reduction of psychotrophic bacteria in the milk, which is the increase that we in fact experienced". We have also been pleasantly surprised about the flavor +quality improvements in our cheddar. Overall, the use of SurePure's technology has been an 'unqualified success'."; Guy Kebble: "Having completed a comprehensive three year academic investigation into the benefits of photopurifying milk for cheese production, it is gratifying to see this academic data being reflected in the real world of cheese-making. We think the trifecta of energy-savings, yield increase +quality enhancements 'will prove irresistible to the dairy industry, over time'." - Jul 24, 2014

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

It "became quickly apparent that the quality of the final result was critically dependent on the quality of the preparation of sample being analyzed". To that end, PCT-based systems were always among our top sample preparation methods of choice, because of their many key advantages. With the new Barozyme HT48's ability to integrate with the automated, high throughput liquid handling robotic systems used by many analytical instruments today, I " "believe" PCT has hit an 'inflection point' +"will" soon become a 'method of choice', in "significantly more laboratories worldwide"."; Dr. Robert Bondaryk, Chief Executive Officer of KeraFAST, Inc.(a supplier of 'new, rare, +unique materials, reagents, +tools to an interconnected community of researchers worldwide'), said: "Having held senior positions in life sciences laboratories for >25 years, including Fisher Scientific +Cogenics, I "developed a very strong appreciation for the critical importance of sample preparation". It "is exciting to see the 'key advantages' of PCT available in the 'universally accepted microplate strip format'. In my opinion, the 'Barozyme HT48' is a "breakthrough solution", for the automation of sample preparation"."; Mr. Richard T.

Pressure BioSciences to Develop 'Front-end Sample Preparation', for Parabase Genomics' Targeted 'Next Generation Sequencing Testing Platform', "Initial Target of the Parabase Sequencing Service is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of U.S. Hospitals, with the Goal of Improving Early Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases", Each year ~4.000.000 babies are born in the United States, with ~400.000 admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit("NICU"). ~150.000 newborns need @least one single-gene test, since many of the ~4.000 identified single-gene diseases present in the 1st month of life. Early diagnosis is critical, so that treatment to prevent mortality or lifelong debilitation can be quickly initiated. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose genetic disease in newborns based on symptoms alone, as 80% of cases present with nonspecific or similar symptoms that can have upwards of 160 possible different diagnoses. Serially testing single genes in these cases, which is the current state-of-the-art, can take many months +be prohibitively expensive; Dr. Andy Bhattacharjee: "Parabase uses targeted 'next generation sequencing("NGS")', to offer comprehensive test panels to diagnose single-gene conditions in newborns. Our "goal is to improve the 'standard-of-care in NICUs', by replacing hundreds of currently used single-gene-disorder tests with our LifeTime NewbornDx™ sequencing service, to simultaneously evaluate 350 genes representing genetic disorders in the newborn period. We plan to do this in a minimally invasive fashion, such as processing dried blood spot specimens, that are currently taken from every newborn. In this regard, we are pleased to collaborate with our colleagues @@PBI, who have years of experience +expertise in successfully extracting biomolecules, like DNA from various sample types with their patented PCT Platform". Our process will be optimized for 48-hour results, compared to the 8-16 weeks typically needed to generate a clinical report. "This 'vast improvement' in time to diagnosis 'should' lead to better therapeutic options +patient outcomes, +lower economic burden, due to less exploratory testing +shorter hospital stays"."; Dr. Alexander Lazarev: "Performing NGS testing on dried blood spot samples "is 'novel' +'far from trivial' ". Based on our prior success with similar specimens, "we 'believe' the PCT Platform has 'certain intrinsic capabilities', that will enable the extraction +recovery of sufficient amounts of high quality DNA from these specimens, for subsequent testing with the LifeTime NewbornDx™ NGS service". We "look forward to working with our Parabase Genomics colleagues, in helping to develop this 'important sequencing service', for both its possible impact on improving the lives of children through early diagnosis of genetic diseases, +for its 'potential commercial success' for both our companies" - Jul 23, 2014

"Dear Shareholders,

I would like to take this opportunity to update you on the progress we have made with Lightwave Logic’s business efforts and scientific advancements. The recent successes we have achieved in polymer material science along with several photonic devices under development have fostered a tremendously contagious spirit of optimism that pervades the Company.

Since I took over the operational helm as CEO, we carefully analyzed the business, surveyed the market landscape, and made key investments in the tools needed to achieve the goals that will enhance shareholder value. We have succeeded in rationalizing external collaborations, relocated the corporate headquarters and optical test facility to Colorado, added two highly talented synthetic chemists and yet another world-class independent director, George Lauro. With these actions and additions, we have enhanced our material and prototype device development, partnership opportunities, re-focused on potential acquisition targets and dramatically advanced down the road to commercialization of our polymers. Although we accomplished some, but not all our goals for the first half of 2014, we continue to make steady progress enabled by our previous groundwork and have mitigated some of the technical and commercial risk in this very difficult technical space.

Also, we have just completed a successful private securities offering where we obtained the necessary operating capital and R&D funds that should keep us in good financial condition through the end of 2015 while further positioning the Company for success.

We envision ourselves as a Company developing the next generation of organic polymer photonic devices to not only outperform currently installed legacy devices based on inorganic crystals like lithium niobate, but also to dramatically improve cost performance benefits for the end user. Organics offer a continuous pathway to performance improvements through highly innovative scientific practices and technical know-how. We want to become the “Intel®” of photonic chips and devices!

There is tremendous pent-up industry demand for Lightwave Logic’s technologies to satisfy market requirements that demand smaller, faster and less expensive photonic devices. Our development roadmap is precisely geared to satisfy those needs in several different verticals.

Ultimately, the problem we are trying to solve is speeding up the interface between end user demand that continues to strain the massive data centers that service the “cloud” for representative companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Netflix and many more. Our target customers are the suppliers of photonic devices for these companies and their data centers.

In the near term, we are leveraging our material platform to create integrated photonic transceivers, photonic switches, modulators and related devices for high-speed fiber-optic telecom and data communications. Combined, this is an $8 billion addressable market opportunity for our Company.

In the long term, we are extending our materials platform into large commercial sectors that include biosensors, high-speed optical computing, optical switches and routers, optical filters, quantum computing and photovoltaic cells. Collectively, these commercial sectors add many billions of dollars to the markets Lightwave can address.


Business Overview

Many years ago, several large Fortune 500-sized companies made the business decision to abandon their R&D efforts in the organic polymer field because the market wasn’t ready for polymer technologies and they couldn’t see a short term return on their investment — fast-forward to today. The unprecedented explosion in demand for bandwidth has created an enormous opportunity for a replacement technology. Interestingly, while attending the Optical Fiber Conference in San Francisco this past February, several device companies stated both publicly and to me personally that they were now starting to look seriously at the viability of organic polymers to break through today’s current cost/performance barriers that are preventing the proliferation of leading edge disruptive technologies. Our ability to stay the course and make progress over the years has not gone unnoticed and it fortuitously has positioned us perfectly for what these industry leaders now recognize as the inevitable move to polymers. Imagine what would happen if the data communications/telecommunications businesses could no longer profitably meet the technical challenges needed to keep up with the seemingly endless growth in demand for storage and bandwidth? Your continuing support as shareholders has contributed enormously to our successes and enables the development to prosper.

Lightwave Logic remains in the forefront of electro-optical and all-optical polymer research with over 10 years of development behind us. That has energized our team to aggressively seek several industry partners for joint development activities. Our newest independent director, George Lauro, has formulated an industry engagement plan that has already been put into action. George’s expertise in taking products from R&D to commercialization along with his vast photonics industry connections is bearing fruit. We have already received interest from several potential partners that could significantly help us move multiple projects forward in parallel rather than in sequence, as well as provide a seamless pathway to a ready customer for the finished product.

In addition, we have continued to identify several potential acquisition targets with which we will be engaging. We remain convinced that an acquisition would be the fastest way to revenue with an established customer base and at the same time being able to leverage personnel synergies.

Most of our discussions with potential customers have centered on their desire for innovative polymer waveguides, optical modules, transceivers and lower cost packaging solutions. They are impressed by the potential for enormous built-in cost and performance advantages, and when demonstrated, will help ensure ultimate implementation. The first prototype Silicon Organic Hybrid (SOH) device from this effort could function as the heart for movement of vast amounts of information around the data center and for the other photonic applications. Initial demand for 100 Gb/s configured devices could be in the millions of units per year for what would be considered a first generation device. We see a product development cycle starting with version 1.0 with subsequent versions evolving along with market demands.

Throughout the last year and half we have successfully transitioned Lightwave Logic from a company solely focused on chemical synthesis to a device company with major photonic device programs in key targeted high-value markets.


Material Advancements

To make these devices competitive, it is vital that our materials exceed current inorganic material capabilities. Initial results from the first two materials of our newly devised and announced multi-chromophore methodology have so far been very encouraging. We previously reported that the first material offspring, Perkinamine MalachiteTM, has been operating in one of our thin film devices for over six months in our new lab in Longmont, Colorado with virtually no relaxation of the molecular arrangement and at approximately twice the electro-optic effect of legacy, inorganic-based modulator devices. We are now working to perfect the production process to get the desired replication required for commercialization. There currently are several versions of MalachiteTM in production and more importantly, our multi-chromophore methodology holds the potential for almost endless generations of performance improvement.

Also during the first quarter, we entered into a sole worldwide license with Corning Inc., to obtain the rights to use their portfolio of patented chromophores within a “Licensed Field” which means communications, computing, power, and power storage applications that employ the nonlinear optical properties of the licensed materials. This, along with the work Lightwave research scientists have accomplished significantly advances our electro-optic polymer material platform and we continue to synthesize other unique materials with even more promising characteristics. We firmly believe this will ensure the ultimate success and the sustainability of the device program currently underway.

In conversation with industry experts and our own subject matter experts, we have determined that in order to compete in the photonics market, our materials must have the following device characteristics when compared to legacy devices:




Lightwave Logic has been engineering and developing nonlinear polymers to optimize these optical, thermal and other performance characteristics listed above. This growing family of proprietary materials (PerkinaminesTM) are demonstrating significant advantages over the currently imbedded materials and devices and could make possible the world’s first terabit/sec transceivers manufactured via high volume, low cost, high yield processes that can be coated on a large variety of chips making integrated photonic systems on chips (SoC’s) a reality. These will ultimately become compact on-chip solutions integrated with thin film polymer coatings on silicon.


Device Program

We have carefully chosen an ordered progression of component and device development that actually began with the creation of our new multi-chromophore chemical synthesis process. There is a strong interrelationship between the devices and components that we are currently testing and intend to test. The completion of each successful step in the progression substantially eliminates technical risk of the end goal — producing an integrated photonic system.

Our development plan has us on a path to demonstrate a Multi-Integrated Nano-Photonic Transceiver (MINT) that will essentially incorporate all of the devices and components preceding it such as waveguide modulators and high-speed hybrid modulators. This device is intended to represent a technological quantum leap forward with the potential to revolutionize datacom and telecom systems. This is not only due to inherently lower power requirements and ultra-fast data rates, but also because it would also eliminate the need for an entire layer of network architecture that currently connects millions of servers-to-servers in cloud computing and telecom data centers worldwide. While we have already begun this revolutionary design, we need to walk before we can run. The journey began last fall when we demonstrated that we could successfully modulate light in a slot waveguide modulator.

We hope to have additional quantifiable results once we receive our wafers (chips) from IMEC in Belgium and OpSIS at the University of Delaware. After receipt of the chips, we will begin the production of commercial “bread-board” prototypes to present to potential partners and collaborators. Both providers have informed us of delays in the production of our chips to late summer or early fall. While this obviously pushes out our slot waveguide modulator development timeline, the good news is that we have found an alternative opportunity to test our newer materials in an existing slot waveguide modulator design owned by a third party. We are also working on a bleached waveguide modulator and an all-optical switch with the University of Colorado and Boulder Nonlinear Systems to demonstrate our device’s performance parameters. We hope to have results from these efforts later this summer.


The following list of components and devices captures the key elements of our product development efforts:

30-100 Gb/sec Telecom Bleached Waveguide Modulator

This photonic device concept is being developed in close partnership with our University of Colorado collaborators and is the least infrastructure intensive of the waveguide technologies currently available for creating telecom specific modulator products. It allows us to create photonic devices independent of the traditional photonic foundry process timelines and is a perfect vehicle for developing our most advanced PerkinamineTM material systems. We are currently starting our build out of a class 100 clean room at our Longmont facility to specifically target this and the hybrid slot waveguide device architecture. We intend to drive the maturity of these product offerings from in-house manufacturing of research and development devices to telecom devices.


30-100 Gb/sec Slot Waveguide DataComm & Telecom Modulator

Hybrid polymer/silicon slot waveguide technology is designed to integrate with other optical silicon photonic devices to create an entire datacom information system to service the tremendous growth in cloud computing and other data intensive systems such as high-end super computer applications. The integration of electro-optic polymers and silicon waveguide technologies significantly lowers the power per bit of information and can potentially lead to modulation devices, which remove a significant portion of the electronics cost and power requirements. We have already successfully demonstrated this basic building block of photonic devices and are now getting ready to repeat this with new materials and expect a series of results throughout the year.


Optical Routers

Routers are devices that switch the datacom and telecom traffic around the world. We are collaborating with the University of Colorado sponsored research team to define and implement a Third Order (light-switching-light) nonlinear polymer technology to address this sizable market opportunity. The significant advantage our polymers enable is the switching of optical data without leaving the optical domain and replacing the current Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) solution.


Spatial Light Modulator, Optical Switch and Optical Correlator

One of the advantages we gained with our relocation to Longmont is the opportunity to work more closely with our partner Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS). Together we have a three-pronged cache of opportunities to penetrate DoD and commercial markets.


Each "may have significant potential" for our Company. They are:

I. A Terry Turpin design for a spatial light modulator. A spatial light modulator is the input device for an optical computer that can be used for supercomputing, cryptology and imagery processing (including facial recognition).

II. Content carriers such as Comcast, Cox and Century Link need innovative ways to push more data through existing fiber networks. We are working an all-optical switch (along with the University of Colorado) that can be used to replace electric to optical switches that are currently used for this purpose. Legacy devices can’t meet the demands from the end user…people. We expect initial results for this application in the late summer, early fall.

III. Finally we are working on an optical correlator. An optical correlator is a device that compares two-dimensional data at very high rates of speed utilizing time and frequency properties of a laser. The main objective use is for target tracking and identification. This is a follow-on to the earlier USAF LADAR (LAser Detection And Ranging) project we announced. LADAR devices use lasers to illuminate a target and measure the time it takes the light to return to determine distance. LADAR has advantages over RADAR since it produces three-dimensional imagery (range, azimuth, elevation).


Summary

Our enthusiasm about the future is permeating our entire Company as well as our potential partners. We are all excited about our transition to a next-generation photonic systems provider at the leading edge of electro-optical and all-optical polymer development. Our technical team is currently putting together individual product timelines along with market sizes and detailed competitive comparisons that we intend to share with you when completed. This is an extremely exciting time to be a Lightwave Logic shareholder and we will endeavor to keep you informed of our progress along the way. We hope to see you at the annual shareholder meeting in Boulder, Colorado on August 21.

Regards,

Tom Zelibor

Pfeiffer Vacuum 'Highlights Innovative Vacuum Solutions @Touch Panel Korea Trade Show' - W: 0/PRNW, ASSLAR - Jul 23, 2014

+ Product developments "set the 'new benchmark', in vacuum coating"

+ Powerful vacuum pumps +leak detectors ...
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/6880772-pfeiffer-vacuum-h…

"Pfeiffer Vacuum, a leading global provider of vacuum technology, will participate in the Touch Panel Korea Trade Show from August 20 to 22, 2014. Visitors to booths E25-E28 have the opportunity to discuss groundbreaking vacuum solutions with experts from Pfeiffer Vacuum. "Pfeiffer Vacuum introduces important new vacuum solutions for applications in the LED and flat/touch panel fields. The various production steps during the application of thin coats are impossible without modern vacuum technology. Our products set new benchmarks for reliability and pumping capacity, particularly for light gases," says Sam Oh, Representative Director of Pfeiffer Vacuum Korea.

Pfeiffer Vacuum offers powerful turbopumps for the vacuum coating in LED and flat screen technologies. The turbopumps distinguish themselves with their high pumping speeds, maximum gas throughput and very good compression of light (H2, He) and heavy gases (Ar, CF4). The process equipment is yet another feature making these high vacuum pumps ideal for deployment in the flat and touch panel fields. The suitability for industrial applications is confirmed by the IP 54 protection class and SEMI S2 Standard certification. The functional aluminum housing keeps these pumps extremely lightweight. A sealing gas connection protects the bearings from particles and reactive gases. This results in optimal integration capacity and a significantly improved service life.

Different processes and applications require specifically tailored turbopumps. The individual requirements are being taken into account with various bearing designs.

Aside from the turbopumps, there are also the adixen by Pfeiffer Vacuum dry pumps meeting the current and future challenges of cutting-edge procedures in the coating industry (LED/OLED, flat/touch panel and solar). The multi-stage roots vacuum pumps of the ADH series are designed for challenging processes where lots of dust accumulates, corrosive gases are pumped and high temperatures are present. These vacuum pumps distinguish themselves with their high gas throughput and a pumping speed of 600 to 4,500 m³/h. The pumping speed for the light gases particularly needed in innovative coating processes is especially high. A monitoring system monitors the pumps in the process. The strongly reduced energy and water consumption result in low operating costs. Their silent operation (< 65 dBA) makes them ideal even for serial installations.

The new ASM 340 will also be showcased in operation at the Pfeiffer Vacuum booth. This powerful yet compact leak detector is extremely well suited for reliable quality assurance, even under challenging conditions. The device is used in a wide range of applications with helium and hydrogen. It is available in conventional and dry versions, and covers a range of tasks from maintenance to serial production. Qualitative localization of leaks as well as quantitative integral or local testing is possible. The powerful vacuum system guarantees rapid operational readiness. The leak detector further features a fast response time, facilitated by the high helium pumping speed. These characteristics result in short cycle times and high component throughput. The ASM 340 is the only leak detector of its class available on the market that is capable of localizing leaks starting at 100 hPa.

Zitat von Popeye82: Hybrid Coating Technologies - US EPA 'Issues Action Plan, to Deal With Toxic Isocyanates', mentioned the company's technology as an alternative to toxic polyurethane coatings in its previously issued Action Plan; J. Kristul "Hybrid's patented technology is "the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane, without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process." The polyurethane industry has "started to feel pressure to deal with toxic isocyanates, which puts the Company in a strong position." We "have received alot of interest from large players in our industry, both for the quality +durability of our products +for the environmental benefits of our isocyanate free technology" +we " "expect" some of this interest to translate into collaborations +commercial agreements in the "near future"." This is "the 1st time in over a decade that the US EPA has issued an action plan, for the polyurethane industry" "; Coating Technologies(HCT) is a San Francisco-based "innovator focused on improving the quality +safety of coatings +paint for industrial +commercial customers around the world." We are "the exclusive licensee of Green Polyurethane™ coatings +paint – the "world's 1st-ever patent protected polyurethane-based coatings +paint products, which eliminate toxic isocyanates from the entire production process" "; Conventional polyurethane(PU) paint +coatings have 'many disadvantages': they are porous, permeable +maintain poor hydrolytic stability. This "makes the material highly vulnerable to environmental degradation +ultimately leads to their chemical decomposition, especially when in contact with water. Even worse, the manufacture of conventional polyurethanes involves highly toxic components such as isocyanates, which can cause irritation of skin +mucous membranes, chest tightness, difficult breathing, upset stomach, fevers +prolonged exposure has been known to cause severe asthma +even death." Furthermore, strict +costly health & safety measures have to be implemented in the manufacture +application of conventional polyurethane, due to the toxicity of isocyanates. "This is why regulatory bodies around the world are now looking toward phasing out the use of isocyanates"; Green Polyurethane™ ("HNIPU") is a " "hybrid" material, which combines the high chemical resistance properties of epoxy +advanced durability +wear resistance properties of polyurethane, "making it the perfect application for high traffic +corrosive surface areas"." As a hybrid material with superior properties, Green Polyurethane ™ can be applied in one coating in most cases, "providing a welcome cost-saving substitute to currently used multi-layered flooring applications." Green Polyurethane™ "also provides the "1st sound solution" to the environmental +health hazards, associated with isocyanates in polyurethane." Its safety features "allow it to be applied, without the interruption of business due to public exposure, creating an additional 30 -60% savings on application costs for customers" - Jul 1, 2013

Balamara Secures cornerstone position in 'advanced Polish coal Project', Expands +diversifies Polish coal portfolio by acquiring 'strategic interest' in thermal coal project - Jul 15, 2014

+ Balamara secures cornerstone equity interest in a 2nd 'high-quality Polish coal project', located near its flagship 85%-owned Nowa Ruda Coking Coal Project.

+ Balamara has acquired 15% of Carbon Investments, owner of the substantial Mariola Thermal Coal Project in Upper Silesia, southern Poland, for 15.000.000 shares +$500.000 cash. Balamara has the option to secure a further 15%, @its election.

+ Mariola has 'extensive historical drilling', it is located next door to an operating coal-fired power station +it offers the 'potential' to be brought on stream 12-18 months, ahead of Nowa Ruda, for 'considerably lower' CAPEX.

+ $400.000 cash to be applied directly to the Mariola Project, providing finance with the 'objective' of fast-tracking delivery of an initial JORC Mineral Resource Report from international coal consultants Wardell Armstrong, by the end of August '14.

+ Mariola "offers 'outstanding synergies' with Nowa Ruda, in terms of Feasibility Studies, financing options +, ultimately, development & production. This includes 'potentially' using early cash flows from Mariola, to help fund the larger-scale Nowa Ruda capital development.

+ Balamara has commenced discussions regarding the 'potential acquisition' of the remaining 85%, through a merger with Carbon Investments.

+ Scoping Study Report for Mariola, 'anticipated' by 4Q '14, +a Pre-Feasibility Study by 1H '15


Mariola Project is considered to be world-class by Balamara for all of the following reasons:

. Significant tonnage of high quality thermal coal, as reported to Polish geological standard. Wardell Armstrong International have been engaged with the objective of delivering a maiden JORC standard resource report in the next 60 days, to underline the considerable coal tonnage +quality. Mariola already has a significant tonnage, as defined by the Polish geological standard, but this is not reportable under ASX Listing Rules until a JORC(2012) standard is defined.

II. 242 historical holes drilled in 13.3km2 concesssion area, giving 'high degree of confidence' in coal tonnage +quality. Historical data, records +other information relating to this drilling is available +will provide the basis for the 'potential maiden JORC standard resource report'. @this stage, no further resource drilling is considered necessary @Mariola.

III. Shallow depth, with 1st coal seams only ~100m underground, making for easy access +lower capital cost to develop Mariola into a mining operation. With the 1st coal seams only ~100m below surface Mariola "would" be the shallowest underground coal mine in Poland, with associated savings in capital cost for mine development +lower operating costs when in production. Both of these are 'huge advantages', which can ultimately deliver a 'far more valuable mining project', ooooonce proven via completed Feasibility Study. With thermal coal having lower magins/tonne than coking coal it is important to reduce overall risk +lower capital +operating costs "would" provide a more robust Project, for funding purposes as well as the overall value proposition.

IV. Coal seams can be accessed by development of a simple decline, thus eliminating the need for costly +higher risk shaft development. Again, this is as a result of Mariola coal being very shallow, allowing for a simple mine plan including declines(as opposed to the much higher cost of production shafts) with conveyors moving both waste +coal to local storage facilities +ultimately moving end product to market.

V. 'Favourable geotechnical +environmental conditions'. Local ground conditions are favourable, thus further reducing risk +positively impacting operating costs. In addition, the concession area is undeveloped, but also not forrested, which reduces environmental concerns +will assist to more quickly deliver the license to mine.

VI. Preliminary mine designs already completed. Mariola is considerably advanced in terms of mine planning, even more so than Balamara’s Nowa Ruda Project, which will allow for completion of feasibility studies +application for license to mine in '15.

VII. Access to experienced, low cost workforce. Poland has a low cost, but very experienced, mining work force, +, similar to Nowa Ruda, the Mariola Project has the ability to utlise this advantage as it is anticipated to be in the lowest 25% percentile cost for underground mining, in comparison to other developed countries +mining locations. All mining projects regardless waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant to exist in the lowest cost percentile, as this greatly reduces risk in the event world prices drop, whereby only the lower cost producers will remain profitable +producing.

VIII. All infrastructure ‘@the gate’, including rail, roads, power +water. All key infrastructure is in place nearby, thus reducing costly capital development to deliver power to site, rail spur lines or other major infrastructure requirements, that 'would' take additional time +more cost to implement.

IX. Existing coal fired power station within 2kms from lease boundary, as possible off-take partner. Probably one of the 'key advantages' to Mariola Project is the existing, operating Tauron-owned Siersza thermal power station ~2km away, immediately adjacent to the concession, currently producing over 600Mw of power/annum, +looking to expand, thus in need of further thermal coal. Carbon Investments are already in discussions with Tauron as regards waste storage, excess water storage, coal storage, +use of rail facilities, plus possible offtake of coal produced from any mining operation. Initial discussions have been favourable, +both parties will be looking to lock in a preliminary agreement, as soon as possible. Iiif Mariola coal was ultimately sold into the Tauron power station, located just 2km away, this "would" provide a significant cost saving, as well as a natural partner for further mine expansion +development.

X. Strong support for the Project from local Government +community. Carbon Investments has worked hard to ensure strong local support, from both community +regional administative bodies, which will assist to bring Mariola Project into production as 'quickly as possible' +'pave the way for a productive relationship during mine life'.

XI. Experienced local partner to manage the development of the Project. Carbon Investments has an existing, capable management team led by an experienced CEO, +Balamara is happy to work with this team wherever possible, to add further value +ensure delivery of key milestones. This same management team have equity within CI, +"are 'therefore' incentivised to deliver successful long term value into the Project going forward".

XII. Advanced status of Project with pre-feasibility study underway +lodgement for license to mine within 12 months. Balamara "is aware of the anticipated timelines for both Nowa Ruda +Mariola Projects, +the Company "believes" the addition of this further Project will not in any way impact negatively, in terms of delivery of key objectives". As noted previously, Mariola is further advanced to Nowa Ruda +does not require any further drilling, so both time+cost to completion of feasibility +decision-to-mine is lower, +can be accomodated.

BMB Secures 'New Major Sawin Coal Project' –Poland, Addition of 3rd 'advanced, large-scale coal Project in south-east Poland' "puts Balamara 'firmly on track' to be a 'substantial player' in the European coal industry" - Jul 21, 2014

+ Balamara awarded the concessions rights(for no acquisition cost) for the Sawin North Thermal Coal Project, located in the world-class Lublin Basin of south-eastern Poland.

+ Sawin has a 'significant thermal coal deposit', reported as a Foreign Estimate(see Page3 Notes), as defined by the Polish standard +reported to the Polish Geological Institute.

+ Sawin is located immediately adjacent to the large coal concession area, owned +operated by ASX-listed coal developer Prairie Mining Limited(ASX: PDZ) , which contains a reported JORC resource of 1.559.000.000.

+ Sawin is also located near a 'significant operating coal mine', owned +operated by Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka SA(“Bogdanka”), "one of the most successful mining companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange", with
$1.700.000.000 market capitalization.

+ Bogdanka "has highlighted the 'vast "potential" ' within the Lublin Coal Basin, by developing their mine into "one of the best performing projects in Poland". The mine is acknowledged as "one of the country’s lowest cost
coal producers, +is currently ramping up to 10.000.000t/a."

+ The Lublin Coal Basin(including Sawin +adjacent Bogdanka +Prairie Mining
deposits) has a 'broadly similar geological setting', with 'similar coal parameters'.

+ 'Considerable information', relating to historical drilling +other technical data, exists for Sawin, as the concession was 'extensively explored' by the Polish Government, preee viously. This data "indicates" a 'large underground deposit, with high quality thermal coal'.

Balamara Secures cornerstone position in 'advanced Polish coal Project', Expands +diversifies Polish coal portfolio by acquiring 'strategic interest' in thermal coal project - Jul 15, 2014

+ Balamara secures cornerstone equity interest in a 2nd 'high-quality Polish coal project', located near its flagship 85%-owned Nowa Ruda Coking Coal Project.

+ Balamara has acquired 15% of Carbon Investments, owner of the substantial Mariola Thermal Coal Project in Upper Silesia, southern Poland, for 15.000.000 shares +$500.000 cash. Balamara has the option to secure a further 15%, @its election.

+ Mariola has 'extensive historical drilling', it is located next door to an operating coal-fired power station +it offers the 'potential' to be brought on stream 12-18 months, ahead of Nowa Ruda, for 'considerably lower' CAPEX.

+ $400.000 cash to be applied directly to the Mariola Project, providing finance with the 'objective' of fast-tracking delivery of an initial JORC Mineral Resource Report from international coal consultants Wardell Armstrong, by the end of August '14.

+ Mariola "offers 'outstanding synergies' with Nowa Ruda, in terms of Feasibility Studies, financing options +, ultimately, development & production. This includes 'potentially' using early cash flows from Mariola, to help fund the larger-scale Nowa Ruda capital development.

+ Balamara has commenced discussions regarding the 'potential acquisition' of the remaining 85%, through a merger with Carbon Investments.

+ Scoping Study Report for Mariola, 'anticipated' by 4Q '14, +a Pre-Feasibility Study by 1H '15


Mariola Project is considered to be world-class by Balamara for all of the following reasons:

. Significant tonnage of high quality thermal coal, as reported to Polish geological standard. Wardell Armstrong International have been engaged with the objective of delivering a maiden JORC standard resource report in the next 60 days, to underline the considerable coal tonnage +quality. Mariola already has a significant tonnage, as defined by the Polish geological standard, but this is not reportable under ASX Listing Rules until a JORC(2012) standard is defined.

II. 242 historical holes drilled in 13.3km2 concesssion area, giving 'high degree of confidence' in coal tonnage +quality. Historical data, records +other information relating to this drilling is available +will provide the basis for the 'potential maiden JORC standard resource report'. @this stage, no further resource drilling is considered necessary @Mariola.

III. Shallow depth, with 1st coal seams only ~100m underground, making for easy access +lower capital cost to develop Mariola into a mining operation. With the 1st coal seams only ~100m below surface Mariola "would" be the shallowest underground coal mine in Poland, with associated savings in capital cost for mine development +lower operating costs when in production. Both of these are 'huge advantages', which can ultimately deliver a 'far more valuable mining project', ooooonce proven via completed Feasibility Study. With thermal coal having lower magins/tonne than coking coal it is important to reduce overall risk +lower capital +operating costs "would" provide a more robust Project, for funding purposes as well as the overall value proposition.

IV. Coal seams can be accessed by development of a simple decline, thus eliminating the need for costly +higher risk shaft development. Again, this is as a result of Mariola coal being very shallow, allowing for a simple mine plan including declines(as opposed to the much higher cost of production shafts) with conveyors moving both waste +coal to local storage facilities +ultimately moving end product to market.

V. 'Favourable geotechnical +environmental conditions'. Local ground conditions are favourable, thus further reducing risk +positively impacting operating costs. In addition, the concession area is undeveloped, but also not forrested, which reduces environmental concerns +will assist to more quickly deliver the license to mine.

VI. Preliminary mine designs already completed. Mariola is considerably advanced in terms of mine planning, even more so than Balamara’s Nowa Ruda Project, which will allow for completion of feasibility studies +application for license to mine in '15.

VII. Access to experienced, low cost workforce. Poland has a low cost, but very experienced, mining work force, +, similar to Nowa Ruda, the Mariola Project has the ability to utlise this advantage as it is anticipated to be in the lowest 25% percentile cost for underground mining, in comparison to other developed countries +mining locations. All mining projects regardless waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant to exist in the lowest cost percentile, as this greatly reduces risk in the event world prices drop, whereby only the lower cost producers will remain profitable +producing.

VIII. All infrastructure ‘@the gate’, including rail, roads, power +water. All key infrastructure is in place nearby, thus reducing costly capital development to deliver power to site, rail spur lines or other major infrastructure requirements, that 'would' take additional time +more cost to implement.

IX. Existing coal fired power station within 2kms from lease boundary, as possible off-take partner. Probably one of the 'key advantages' to Mariola Project is the existing, operating Tauron-owned Siersza thermal power station ~2km away, immediately adjacent to the concession, currently producing over 600Mw of power/annum, +looking to expand, thus in need of further thermal coal. Carbon Investments are already in discussions with Tauron as regards waste storage, excess water storage, coal storage, +use of rail facilities, plus possible offtake of coal produced from any mining operation. Initial discussions have been favourable, +both parties will be looking to lock in a preliminary agreement, as soon as possible. Iiif Mariola coal was ultimately sold into the Tauron power station, located just 2km away, this "would" provide a significant cost saving, as well as a natural partner for further mine expansion +development.

X. Strong support for the Project from local Government +community. Carbon Investments has worked hard to ensure strong local support, from both community +regional administative bodies, which will assist to bring Mariola Project into production as 'quickly as possible' +'pave the way for a productive relationship during mine life'.

XI. Experienced local partner to manage the development of the Project. Carbon Investments has an existing, capable management team led by an experienced CEO, +Balamara is happy to work with this team wherever possible, to add further value +ensure delivery of key milestones. This same management team have equity within CI, +"are 'therefore' incentivised to deliver successful long term value into the Project going forward".

XII. Advanced status of Project with pre-feasibility study underway +lodgement for license to mine within 12 months. Balamara "is aware of the anticipated timelines for both Nowa Ruda +Mariola Projects, +the Company "believes" the addition of this further Project will not in any way impact negatively, in terms of delivery of key objectives". As noted previously, Mariola is further advanced to Nowa Ruda +does not require any further drilling, so both time+cost to completion of feasibility +decision-to-mine is lower, +can be accomodated.

A New Approach to SETI: Targeting Alien Polluters - IT - Jul 24, 2014
www.innovationtoronto.com/2014/07/a-new-approach-to-seti-tar…

"Humanity is on the threshold of being able to detect signs of alien life on other worlds.

By studying exoplanet atmospheres, we can look for gases like oxygen and methane that only coexist if replenished by life. But those gases come from simple life forms like microbes. What about advanced civilizations? Would they leave any detectable signs?

They might, if they spew industrial pollution into the atmosphere. New research by theorists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) shows that we could spot the fingerprints of certain pollutants under ideal conditions. This would offer a new approach in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

“We consider industrial pollution as a sign of intelligent life, but peeerhaps civilizations more advanced than us, with their own SETI programs, will consider pollution as a sign of un intelligent life since it’s not smart to contaminate your own air,” says Harvard student and lead author Henry Lin.

“People often refer to ETs as ‘little green men,’ but the ETs detectable by this method should not be labeled ‘green’ since they are environmentally unfriendly,” adds Harvard co-author Avi Loeb.

The team, which also includes Smithsonian scientist Gonzalo Gonzalez Abad, finds that the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) should be able to detect two kinds of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) — ozone-destroying chemicals used in solvents and aerosols. They calculated that JWST could tease out the signal of CFCs if atmospheric levels were 10 times those on Earth. A particularly advanced civilization might intentionally pollute the atmosphere to high levels and globally warm a planet that is otherwise too cold for life.

There is one big caveat to this work. JWST can only detect pollutants on an Earth-like planet circling a white dwarf star, which is what remains when a star like our Sun dies. That scenario would maximize the atmospheric signal. Finding pollution on an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star would require an instrument beyond JWST — a next-next-generation telescope. ..."

Powermat Wireless Phone Charging Offered @Starbucks - N - Jun 13, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/powermat-wireless-phone-charging-of…

"In a recent article, we highlighted the April 2014 IPO of Energous (NASDAQ:WATT), a company claiming to offer “wireless charging” capabilities for phones, laptops, and other electronics devices. We discussed the fact that purchasing shares in Energous seems highly speculative as the Company has no granted patents, a prototype that is too large, just a small amount of cash on hand, no revenues, and some transactions in the past that could be considered conflicts of interest. One additional reason for WATT speculators to be concerned is because of a company called Powermat.





About

Israeli based Powermat was founded in 2006 with their first products being launched in 2009. The Company’s wireless charging technology has been adopted by the Power Matters Alliance (PMA), a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing wireless charging. PMA members include Samsung, LG, Freescale, HTC, Broadcom, Blackberry, Texas Instruments and many others. Additionally, the Powermat technology platform has been adopted by Duracell, General Motors, Starbucks and AT&T. In January of 2012, Powermat and Procter & Gamble created a joint venture under the Duracell Powermat brand. Retail products from Powermat are sold globally under the brand Duracell Powermat.


The Technology

Powermat’s technology allows a consumer to place their phone on top of a Powermat charging pad on a table for example and the phone’s battery will begin charging.




But how do you enable your phone to charge wirelessly using a Powermat charging pad? There are a number of ways to enable your phone to wirelessly charge. One way is to buy a ring that plugs into your phone:




This doesn’t seem too practical considering that now you have to carry around a ring with your phone. Why not just integrate the functionality into the phone case? That’s just what Powermat did in partnership with Duracell:




The iPhone-5 case seen above retails for just $36.00 on Amazon. Duracell is not the only company offering cases that support the Powermat charging pads. It appears that Powermat plans to license their technology to other companies who wish to produce phone cases that support Powermat charging pads. The below stylish case for the Samsung S4 is offered by a company called Incipio and retails for $29.95 on Amazon:




However we may not see these cases and rings around for long. In January 2014, Powermat and Flextronics, agreed to cooperate in order to embed wireless power in electronic mobile devices. According to an article by ZDNet, AT&T is already selling smartphones that are compatible with Powermat’s technology.


A Vote of Confidence from Starbucks

Some big news for Powermat came just yesterday when Duracell Powermat and Starbucks announced that they have begun a national rollout of Powermat wireless charging in Starbucks beginning with stores in San Francisco’s Bay Area. Starbucks will expand Powermat to additional major markets in 2015, with a full national rollout planned over time. Initial pilots in Europe and Asia are expected within the year. Starbucks stores will be equipped with ‘Powermat Spots’ which are designated areas on tables and counters where customers can place their compatible devices and charge wirelessly. Select Starbucks stores in Boston and San Jose offer Powermat today and the broader rollout can be tracked at www.powermat.com/locations. Remember those rings we talked about earlier? Those will be sold at Starbucks locations for several dollars so anyone can take advantage of the wireless charging offered by Starbucks.

Powermat has first mover advantage having been chosen by such global leaders as Starbucks, McDonalds, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Madison Square Garden, and dozens of airports around the world to supply wireless power. They have a product that works and is currently being used with strong growth in adoption expected given their partnerships with such strong brands. For investors, there is no exposure to be had to Powermat given that they are privately held with Duracell holding 55% of their shares. Duracell belongs to Proctor and Gamble, the multinational consumer goods giant which had revenues last year of over $84 billion. However there has been speculation in the media that P&G may be looking to sell off the Duracell division in which case investors may be able to get better exposure to this story, depending of course on whether or not they are acquired by a publicly traded company and if so, how large. Regardless of what happens, the success Powermat has enjoyed so far does not bode well for those who are speculating on the recent IPO of Energous (NASDAQ:WATT). "

Handheld Disease Diagnostics, from QuantuMDx - N - Jun 4, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/handheld-disease-diagnostics-from-q…

"In a world that is increasingly driven by the forces of capitalism that often do not benefit the less fortunate, investors are becoming more and more aware of “socially responsible investing“. Aside from the “feel good” aspect of this movement, there is money to be made. The saying “sell to the rich and live with the poor, sell to the poor and live with the rich” has some truth to it. With at least 80% of humanity living on less than $10 a day, it merits investors to look for companies that benefit the less fortunate while offering a compelling value proposition. QuantuMDx is one such company that investors should take a closer look at.


About

Founded in 2008, UK based QuantuMDx uses nanowire biosensors to provide a handheld diagnostic device that will retail at $840 and target diseases prevalent in third-world countries. Just this month, QuantuMDx closed an $8.4 million funding round from philanthropist private investors and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne to further develop their technology. Prior to their latest funding round, the Company had taken in minimal funding in grants and an Indiegogo campaign.


The Q-POC Device

QuantuMDx is looking to provide a handheld laboratory that will deliver complex diagnostics in minutes for a few dollars in any setting across the globe. The Company is targeting three areas; malaria, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases. Let’s take malaria as an example. Every minute, a child dies of malaria somewhere in the world. Physicians in third-world countries will often prescribe anti-malarials as an initial response to patients with a high fever. This has led to an increased prevalence of drug resistance, and is a waste of valuable limited resources. More importantly, it risks the lives of patients infected with a drug resistant strain of malaria as the frontline therapy will be ineffective. With the Q-POC handheld test unit, a blood test for malaria infection can provide results just 10-15 minutes.


QuantuMDx_Handheld

The handheld, user friendly, unit is simple to use with a single button operation and through a mobile data connection, can upload the results to “the cloud” where disease information can help track and control outbreaks. It’s easy to see how such testing can also help control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in places such as sub-Saharan Africa where 70 percent of all people living with HIV reside.

Field trials will commence in early 2015 for Q-POC’s first assays in malaria speciation/drug resistance, in partnership with NGOs and hospitals in several African countries, in anticipation of a commercial launch of their device later in 2015. A company like QuantuMDx is most likely to be out of reach for most retail investors, h0wever they do appear open to finding investment funds outside of just VC firms. For those investors who would like to discuss potential investment opportunities, you can email Business Development Manager, Jonathan Peat, or give him a call at [phone]. "

Nanotechnology Combats Laser Aircraft Strikes - N - Jun 6, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/nanotechnology-combats-laser-aircra…

"Aircraft laser strikes are a growing problem in the aviation industry. A laser strike happens when an individual with a laser pointer directs the laser at the cockpit of an in-flight aircraft. In theory this sounds very difficult to accomplish, however it is a problem serious enough to draw the attention of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A recent report issued by the FBI cited a dramatic increase in laser strike incidents in the United States alone with strikes growing from roughly 300 in 2005 to nearly 4000 in 2013, a 1,273% increase. This constitutes an average of almost 11 per day. The effects of a successful laser strike on an aircraft are best described in the following statement taken from an article by the Tampa Bay Channel 10 News:



“It’s 10 times more intense than a flash bulb going off into your eyes if you’re in a dark room,” says Deputy David Bouffard, a pilot with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has been flying since 2001 and has been a laser target 15 times — twice recently on back-to-back nights.


One company that is using nanotechnology to address this problem is Metamaterial Technologies Inc. (MTI).


About

Canadian based MTI was first founded in 2010 in London as Lambda Guard after securing project funding from the Canadian government. The following year, the company established a subsidiary in Canada and filed their first patent for a laser filtering technology that uses metamaterials. From then until present, the company has secured various grants to further the development of their technology and just several days ago, announced a partnership with one of the world’s biggest aircraft manufactures, Airbus.


MTI’s Nanocomposites

MTI engineers use in house developed software to design the precise shape, geometry, size, orientation and arrangement of nano-composites to affect light in an unconventional manner. MTI looks to target three areas with their unique nano-composites that can manipulate light; solar, LEDs, and laser interference. For laser interference, in particular aircraft applications, the metaAir filter consists of an array of nano-particles that can be adhesively applied on existing surfaces such as cockpit windows or windshields. For LED applications, MTi develops products that enhance the output and efficiency of LED lighting. For solar applications, MTI claims to have a patent pending technology thin film technoogy that uses nano-composites, to dramatically increase solar cell efficiency (up to 200%).

While MTI’s three verticals sound promising, the aircraft applications seem to be making good progress. It’s not too far-fetched to think that with the attention given to this problem by the FBI, an economically and proven solution could be mandated for airline manufacturers to implement going forward. Should MTI’s recent development agreement with Airbus result in implementation of this technology on Airbus aircraft, this could be a lucrative industry vertical for this nano startup. "

'World’s Largest Iron Chromium Flow Battery', From Enervault - N - Jun 9, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/06/worlds-largest-iron-chromium-flow-b…

"According to the Department of Energy’s global energy storage database, there are only 24 recognized flow battery installations in operation in the United States using technologies such as vanadium, zinc bromide, hydrogen bromine, and zinc-nickel oxide. One company that recently added their battery storage technology, iron chromium, to this list of successful installations is EnerVault.


About

Founded in 2008, Sunnyvale California based EnerVault has taken in around $26 million in funding so far from the likes of Oceanshore Ventures, TEL Venture Capital, Total Energy Ventures, Mitsui Global Investment, and 3M. The Company has an executive team with backgrounds from SunPower, Tesla, and a number of other fuel cell and battery companies. EnerVault’s flow batteries use iron and chromium which are blended into the water inside its tanks. Both materials are safe to handle and very abundant. According to an article by MIT Technology Review last year, the iron chromium chemistry materials are one sixth the cost of the vanadium used in some flow batteries. The battery systems themselves are easy to assemble, with elements that arrive at the site in modules that are made from easy-to-procure components.


Enervault’s First Installation – On an Almond Farm

Enervault’s first battery installation was announced last month on an almond farm in Turlock, California. The farm has 186KW of onsite solar that helps power the irrigation system for the almond trees on the farm. These solar panels can be seen in the background of the below picture:

In the foreground of the above picture, you can see the 4 beige tanks that make up the flow battery system that provides 250kW over a four-hour period for the purpose of keeping the almond trees stay irrigated and saving on the farm’s electrical bills. The use case for this installation is that the almond trees need the most water between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. The farm uses nearly 225 kW of electricity to power the pumps that get the water to the trees. Since onsite solar panels can only supply 186kW at peak power, this is not quite enough energy for watering the trees throughout the day. While the balance of the energy needed could be taken from the grid, this would mean purchasing electricity during peak hours which is most expensive from noon to 6 p.m. Instead, the batteries are charged during the night when electricity is cheap. They can then provide the supplemental energy needed to water the almond trees during peak power when electricity is most expense. According to the previously referenced MIT Tech article, this first installation cost around $9.5 million, almost half of which was funded by the US Department of Energy.


Outlook

The Turlock facility is a unique application where extra supplemental electrical power is needed during peak hours when grid energy is more expensive. In addition to farming, there are certainly other potential applications that could benefit from this type of installation as well. However this type of installation seems quite cost prohibitive for most farmers who work on tight margins, have unpredictable revenue streams, and probably don’t have $9.5 million in capital lying around. Will government funding continue to be in place to encourage more installations? If not, will financing options be offered by EnerVault to increase adoption? Who maintains the flow battery system and at what cost to the farmer? While a first installation is encouraging, announcements of future installations will show that the system is economically viable enough to be scalable. "

'Black Goo Flow Batteries' by 24M Technologies - N - Jan 20, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/01/black-goo-flow-batteries-by-24m-tec…

"In previous articles on Aquion and Ambri we discussed the importance of new battery storage technologies for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Another need for improved battery technologies is in the electric vehicle space. Companies such as Altair Nanotechnologies are providing nano lithium titanate batteries to the growing electric bus company we highlighted recently, Proterra. One interesting startup that is building energy storage systems for grid and transportation applications is 24M Technologies.


About

Founded in 2010, Cambridge Massachusetts based 24M Technologies has taken in $16 million in funding so far from Charles River Ventures, North Bridge Venture Partners, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The company was co-founded by MIT professor Dr. Yet-Ming Chiang who was also the co-founder of A123 Systems. Founded in 2001, A123 was a manufacturer of lithium-ion (lithium iron phosphate) batteries for the transportation, electric grid and commercial markets and grew to 3,000 employees by 2012 but went bankrupt the same year. 24M’s technology was conceived at A123 Systems by Dr. Chiang and further developed over two years of research at MIT.


Technology

24M has developed a flow battery technology that uses a black goo solution nicknamed “Cambridge crude”. The battery is a semi-solid flow cell, in which solid particles are suspended in a carrier liquid and pumped through the system. Distributed throughout the black goo are positive and negative posts which are stored in two tanks in the form of nano-particles. The two oppositely charged liquids are then pumped past a special membrane and the resulting output is clean electricity to power an electric vehicle as seen below:



24M’s battery promises a 10-fold improvement in energy density over present liquid flow-batteries, and lower-cost manufacturing than conventional lithium-ion batteries. One potential of this battery technology is that it could allow an electric vehicle driver to “refuel” their battery by simply pumping out the decharged black goo and then pumping in freshly charged replacement goo. Alternatively the tanks could simply be swapped and the decharged goo recharged by the fueling station. While A123 lost investors a great deal of money over its lifetime, 24M may prove to be a lucrative investment should the Company be able to successfully commercialize their “black goo battery”. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Nickel process technology company set to list on ASX; A company which has been developing a technology to produce nickel and co-products from laterites is aiming to use a backdoor listing to join the ASX later this year - MW, BROKEN HILL - May 25, 2011

- Ross Louthean -
www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/mineweb/en/page72558?oid=127841…

"The executive chairman of private company Direct Nickel Julian Malnic told the Resources & Energy Symposium in Broken Hill in New South Wales that the company was currently moving to raise $A15 million ($US14.7 M) to utilise an ASX-listed shell company for listing.

He had told an earlier conference that the company also planned to list on the Hong Kong Exchange.

The company owns the Direct Nickel process which has been developed with the support of Australian investors and Canada's Teck Resources, OZ Minerals and Regency Mines. It has a process demonstration plant under way with Australia's big Government science organisation CSIRO in Perth. Direct Nickel was being applied on a test basis on the Mambare nickel project in Papua New Guinea and was being assessed for other laterite nickel projects around the world.

He told the Broken Hill forum that on a capital expense exercise Direct Nickel " "may" be able to reduce the capital expenditure for producing nickel, from the current range of $US25-30 a lb -down to $US12.5 /lb and the operating expenditure per lb cost, from $US5.50/lb -down to $US1.80 /lb"

Malnic said the threshold to move into nickel laterite projects of size with current technologies was between $US2-4 billion and there was a scenario with current nickel industry supply that global demand was strong and growing.

There were 10 countries providing 89% of world laterite nickel - including Brazil, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia,the Philippines and one West African nation.

At the Mambare project in PNG, Direct Nickel as a 50% partner was in joint venture with Regency Mines.

Malnic said Mambare had the potential for 5-7 Mt of contained nickel, based on previous drilling and pits.

Infill drilling between the existing drilllines on three known high-grade zones will be delivered into a JORC resource.

He said $US25 M had been spent on development of the Direct Nickel float over the past three years and the company was looking at becoming involved in many "orphan" nickel laterites. "


Regency Mines Plc - Maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, for the Mambare Nickel Laterite Project: 95.100.000 tonnes @0.96% nickel +0.08% cobalt I/I; resource estimate was independently calculated by CSA Global(Perth, Australia)(“CSA”) based on the results of the ´11 exploration campaign +only those holes from the ´08 exploration campaign located within the ´11 drilling area, comprising 3790.40 metres from 162 drill holes +5 test pits; MRE was calculated across a combined area of 9 square kilometres, with only 2 square kilometres in the primary target, the 80sq km plateau. The remainder of the resource is on the southern slopes below the plateau; I. Warden: "This "has the potential to be one of the world’s largest single nickel laterite deposits ." This resource estimate of 95.000.000 tonnes is three times the size of our initial target for this campaign. We found better thicknesses +grades than we anticipated, having penetrated the full profile including both limonite +saprolite horizons. Within the total JORC compliant resource there appear to be significant tonnages of higher-grade material, which bodes well for future project economics. We have drill tested <3% of the plateau surface, with mineralization open across the plateau to the north +west of the current drilling. This "indicates the very significant potential upside of this project." These results "reinforce our belief that the combined potential of the Mambare Nickel Laterite Project +the revolutionary Direct Nickel Process for extracting nickel from laterites will allow us to create a truly outstanding project" "; An expanded MRE incorporating all the results from the ´08 exploration campaign +Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys as well as the results released here, will be released in the coming weeks in the form of a 2nd report with a further increase in tonnage expected; Following the delivery of the MRE @Mambare, attention will now be given to future resource definition work, metallurgical testing +scoping studies - Apr 25, 2012

Amazing Aerogels: All About the Aspen Aerogels IPO - N/TNA - May 9, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/05/amazing-aerogels-all-about-the-aspe…

"Aerogels are one of the world’s most exotic nanomaterials, but just what are they? The below description of Aerogels was taken from thenanoage.com:


Aerogels are non-toxic nanoporous materials that have the highest thermal insulation value, the lowest density, the highest specific surface area, the lowest refractive index, the lowest speed of sound and the lowest dielectric constant of any solid. Aerogels consist of a foam-like network of molecules that is 99.8% air. Silica Aerogel holds six world records for physical properties.


The superior properties of aerogels make for some pretty impressive demonstrations such as those seen below:


In the above picture, one can see how a flower placed under a butane burner can be protected from the flame by a small aerogel mat, demonstrating the superior insulating properties this material possesses. One company that specializes in insulation applications for aerogels and recently filed for an IPO is Aspen Aerogels.


About

This interesting company was first brought to our attention in 2009 by one of our members who noted they raised $37 million in 2008 from VCs. Founded in 2001, Massachusetts based Aspen Aerogels originally filed for a $115 million IPO in June 2011, but withdrew its plans in May 2013. Late last month, Aspen filed again for an IPO to raise up to $86 million. As of April 15, 2014, the Company had 220 employees and an accumulated deficit so far of around $332 million. From 2008 through 2013, Aspen’s product revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate of 37% to $82.1 million. Gross profit increased $18.7 million to $10.7 million in 2013 from a gross loss of $8.0 million in 2012. If Aspen is able to sustain this growth rate, revenues would rise to nearly $400 million by 2018 which would represent just 11% of the forecasted $3.5 billion energy insulation end market.

Aspen currently operates through a global network of over 40 insulation distributors. In 2013, 68% of Aspen’s product revenue was generated outside the United States. 24 of the top 25 refining companies worldwide and 19 of the world’s top 20 petrochemical companies use Aspen Aerogels’ products. Their annual production capacity is currently 40 million to 44 million square feet of aerogel blankets, and in 2013 they shipped 35.5 million square feet of product.


The Products

The Company’s main two product lines provide superior insulation for both hot and cold applications. Pyrogel® XT-E is the most effective high-temperature insulation material in the industrial market, and typically 2-5 times thinner than other widely used insulation products. Cryogel® Z cryogenic insulation is used in below-ambient-temperature applications in the oil and gas processing industry and has the lowest k-value of any widely used cryogenic insulation material, reducing thicknesses by 50%-80%. Both these products offer up to five times better high-thermal performance than competing insulation products. Aspen Aerogels’ intellectual property portfolio for these products is supported by 51 issued patents, with an additional 18 pending in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

Aspen is not the only provider of aerogels. Cabot (NYSE:CBT) has been producing its aerogel since 2003 and claims to be the only company to develop a commercialized process that allows continuous production of the material under ambient conditions. Nonetheless, Aspen has been able to demonstrate a demand for their product as evidenced by their strong revenue growth over the past five years. If Aspen can scale to sustain this growth in the coming years, they may provide a compelling case for investors who want exposure to this very unique nanomaterial. Aspen Aerogels plans to list on the NYSE under the symbol ASPN. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Enerkem begins commissioning of garbage-to-fuels commercial plant, in Alberta - BD - Dec 5, 2013

- J. Lane -
www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2013/12/05/mcfly-enerkem-begi…

"In Canada, Enerkem announced that commissioning is underway at its commercial-scale municipal waste-to-biofuels and chemicals facility in Edmonton. Construction of the facility is nearing completion and Enerkem will complete the commissioning during the next few months. Production of biomethanol will start gradually during this period. An ethanol module will be added in 2014.

This facility is a collaboration between Enerkem, the City of Edmonton and Alberta Innovates – Energy and Environment Solutions. When fully operational, it will have a production capacity of up to 38 million litres per year and will help the City of Edmonton divert 90% of the residential waste stream from landfill.

The City of Edmonton and Enerkem Alberta Biofuels have signed a 25-year agreement to convert 100,000 tonnes of the City’s municipal solid waste into biofuels annually. The garbage to be used cannot be recycled or composted.

Enerkem Alberta Biofuels is among the world’s first commercial facilities to be built for the production of advanced biofuels. During construction, more than 600 direct and indirect jobs were created across North America for the modular manufacturing of its parts and systems and on-site assembly.


Financing the company, and its projects

This summer, Enerkem closed a $50 million financing round. Investissement Quebec joined Waste Management of Canada, among other investors, as the company’s equity investment raised in 2013 now comes in at USD $87 million.

In January of this year, Enerkem closed a $37.5 million financing with Waste Management of Canada Corporation, a subsidiary of Waste Management, and EB Investments for Enerkem Alberta Biofuels L.P. Also, the company picked up $3 million in Canadian grants this year, and could score up to $40 million in a repayable contribution from SDTC for its Quebec JV with Greenfield Ethanol.


Up next: The Varennes project

In Canada, Sustainable Technology Development Canada, through its NextGen Biofuels Fund announced earlier this year that it could be investing up to $40 million in the Vanerco project – a joint venture of Enerkem and Greenfield Ethanol, slated for construction in Varennes, Quebec. SDTC made an initial investments is $734,500, in the form of a repayable contribution, and the final amount that could go up to $39.8 million.

Overall, its a 10 million gallon, 38 million liter waste-to-energy project that will use The non recyclable waste from institutional, commercial and industrial sectors, and from construction and demolition debris. Construction of the facility, which will use Enerkem’s proprietary waste-to-biofuels technology, is planned to begin in 2014.


Enerkem background

Company description: With its proprietary thermochemical technology, Enerkem converts abundantly available municipal solid waste (mixed textiles, plastics, fibers, wood and other non-recyclable waste materials) into chemical-grade syngas, and then methanol, ethanol and other chemical intermediates that form everyday products.

By using waste instead of fossil fuels, Enerkem addresses the growing demand for renewable energy sources and chemicals, while reducing landfill volumes and greenhouse gas emissions. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, the company currently operates both a pilot and a demonstration facility in Québec, has its first waste-to-biofuels full-scale commercial plant under construction in Edmonton, Alberta, and is developing similar facilities in Pontotoc, Mississippi and in Varennes, Quebec.

Owners: Enerkem is a private company founded in 2000 by its current senior management. It is majority-owned by institutional, clean-technology and industrial investors, including Rho Ventures, Braemar Energy Ventures, Waste Management (NYSE:WM), Valero (NYSE: VLO), BDR Capital, Cycle Capital, The Westly Group, Fondaction CSN and Quince Associates, L.P.


3 Top Milestones for 2009-12

1. Commercial facility developments: Started construction of its first full-scale commercial plant in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) and continued development of similar commercial projects in the U.S. and Canada including a facility in Pontotoc, Mississippi

2. Technological achievement and scale-up: Successful production of chemical-grade syngas and biomethanol at Enerkem’s demonstration facility in Westbury. These achievements further validated the company’s capability of producing a chemical-grade syngas from waste and converting it into alcohols using well-established catalytic reactions, as already proven at Enerkem’s pilot plant in Sherbrooke.

3. Financial support for growth: From 2009 to 2011, Enerkem has raised a total of US$160 million in financing, both at the corporate and project subsidiary levels. Waste Management and Valero joined as strategic investors in the company. Enerkem was also awarded financial support (cost-share program and loan guarantee) for a total of US$130 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a U.S. plant in Mississippi.


3 Major Milestone Goals for 2013-15

1. Began ethanol production from waste at Westbury demonstration facility (in addition to the ethanol already produced at its pilot facility before) – announced June 7, 2012: click here for news release

2. Beginning of operations at Edmonton waste-to-biofuels facility – expected in 2013. Expected to ready the facility for methanol production in 2013 and then to convert it to produce ethanol from the methanol.

3. Construction of Varennes facility expected to begin by start of 2014 – project announced February 6, 2012: click here for news release


Reaction from Enerkem on start-up of commissioning

“Beginning the commissioning of front-end components at Enerkem Alberta Biofuels is a major milestone and we are proud of all the work accomplished to date”, said Vincent Chornet, President and CEO of Enerkem. “We also believe that this game-changing facility, built in partnership with the City of Edmonton, can become a model for many communities around the world that are looking for a sustainable way to manage waste.”


The bottom line

For now, it’s methanol – later is ethanol. Range Fuels stumbled at this step a few years back, also moving to ethanol from a methanol product. So, we’ll all be watching this project closely — and former Range fans will be holding their breath.

If all goes as expected, it’s fuel, at scale, cellulosic, based on municipal solid waste. Garbage to fuel – just like “Back to the Future” taught us to expect. And, funny enough, in the BTTF fictional universe, waste to fuels was available commercially in 2015 — the timing is a remarkable coincidence.

Or, perhaps Marty McFly saw it coming all the time. "

Rainwater discovered , below the Earth's fractured upper crust - ENN/SD/EA - Jul 17, 2014

www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-07/uos-rda071514.php

"When it rains, where does the water go? Well for one, a lot of rainwater will funnel its way off roads and impermeable surfaces and will make its way into storm sewers. Another path might be directly into rivers and lakes. Or, rainwater might get soaked up by soil where it will then infiltrate into the ground and replenish aquifers. But just how deep does this rainwater infiltrate?


According to new research, rainwater can penetrate below the Earth's fractured upper crust - which is at least eight miles below the Earth's surface!

It had been thought that surface water could not penetrate the ductile crust - where temperatures of more than 300°C and high pressures cause rocks to flex and flow rather than fracture - but researchers have now found fluids derived from rainwater at these levels.

The research could have major implications for our understanding of earthquakes and the generation of valuable mineral deposits.

Fluids in the Earth's crust can weaken rocks and may help to initiate earthquakes along locked fault lines. They also concentrate valuable metals such as gold. The new findings suggest that rainwater may be responsible for controlling these important processes, even deep in the Earth.

Researchers from the University of Southampton, GNS Science (New Zealand), the University of Otago, and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre studied geothermal fluids and mineral veins from the Southern Alps of New Zealand, where the collision of two tectonic plates forces deeper layers of the earth closer to the surface.

The team looked into the origin of the fluids, how hot they were and to what extent they had reacted with rocks deep within the mountain belt.

"When fluids flow through the crust they leave behind deposits of minerals that contain a small amount of water trapped within them," says University of Southampton researcher Catriona D. Menzies. "We have analysed these waters and minerals to identify where the fluids deep in the crust came from”�Although it has been suggested before, our data shows for the first time that rainwater does penetrate into rocks that are too deep and hot to fracture."

Biofluid Molecular Diagnostic Tests, by Exosome - N - Apr 30, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/04/biofluid-molecular-diagnostic-tests…

"Reaching a conclusive diagnosis for cancer is never easy for either doctors or patients, especially if the process involves costly, invasive methods. However, recent research has led to the development of simpler, less invasive techniques to detect and identify the presence of specific cancers and other disorders. Companies such as RainDance Technologies, Sysmex Inostics, and Apocell have developed revolutionary ways to detect various types of cancer using simple blood tests to identify circulating cancer cells with mutant DNA and RNA. Another company that offers minimally invasive molecular diagnostics using bodily fluids (or biofluids) is Exosome Diagnostics.





About Exosome Diagnostics

Exosome Diagnostics was founded in 2008 and is currently based at the Columbia University Medical Center, New York. The company currently has $47 million in funding from investors QIAGEN, Arcus Ventures, NGN Capital, Forbion Capital Part, b-to-v Partners, Tiger Partners L.P., CD Ventures, and Monashee Capital. The company will launch the first clinical diagnostic product in the U.S. (EXO106), which uses urine samples to identify prostate cancer in patients with elevated PSA (prostate-specific antigen). Together with QIAGEN, it is also developing a blood-based diagnostic test, EXO501, for non-small cell lung cancer and EXO1000 to measure gene mutations involved in cancer. A global launch of exoRNeasy® research kits for blood-based RNA extraction is also underway. Aside from blood and urine samples, testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain and spinal cord may be done using the EXO60 RNA Isolation Kit.

At present, the pediatric department of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a participant in the company’s research program using their kits for RNA extraction from biofluids in various disease settings.


Microvesicles and Exosomes in Cancer Detection

Researchers have found that highly active cells, including tumor cells, shed fragments called microvesicles from the cell membrane into the circulation as another form of communication between cells. These microvesicles were originally thought to contain lipids (fats) and proteins that come from the cell membrane, which protects the cell structure. However, recent findings reveal that they also contain components found in the cytoplasm inside the cell, such as infectious particles and nucleic acids (RNA and miRNA), which when harvested, can aid in the diagnosis of disease, such as cancer. Special microvesicles (exosomes) that are formed inside the cell and extruded out in a process called exocytosis, in particular, have been the subject of new research at the Massachusetts General Hospital, where the core development team of Exosome Diagnostics was able to demonstrate that exosomes contain an abundant amount of nucleic acids. RNA or ribonucleic acid molecules are single-stranded proteins that perform multiple roles in the coding, decoding, regulation, and gene expression while miRNA or microRNA are small non-coding RNA molecules that are associated with disease when deregulated.

Previous research has shown that diseases such as leukemia, lung cancer and glioblastoma may be diagnosed by employing a simple blood test that detects the presence of specific mutant RNA found in circulating exosomes. These diagnostic biomarkers can be easily detected in biofluids (blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid) without having to do the traditional tissue biopsy, which is a more invasive method of establishing a concrete diagnosis. In addition, these biofluid diagnostic tests may be done repeatedly to monitor a patient’s condition and may be used to guide targeted therapy at a lower cost and reduced patient risk. "

Printing Green Batteries, with Enfucell - N - May 3, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/05/printing-green-batteries-with-enfuc…

"In a previous article, we highlighted printed electronics company PragmatIC Printing and their ability to produce sub-micron transistors on various flexible substrates. We also highlighted Blue Spark Technologies which produces flexible batteries and helped PragmatIC produce a flexible timer which they debuted at the recent IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event that was held in Berlin. Another company, Enfucell, produces eco-friendly printed batteries and has also partnered with PragmatIC.





About

Founded in 2002, Finnish company Enfucell was spun out of the Helsinki University of Technology and had raised around $10 million in funding as of January 2012. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, former CEO and President of Nokia Corporation, is an angel-investor and advisor for Enfucell. The privately held company has locations in Finland, the U.S., France, and the U.K. with the first commercial deliveries of their batteries taking place in 2010. Enfucell has a license based business model with licensees currently in China, UK, USA and Spain.


Enfucell’s SoftBattery

According to a report by MarketsandMarkets,the thin film and printed battery market was worth $181.5 million in 2012 and is expected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.14% from 2012 to 2017, reaching a net value of $1.21 billion by 2017. Both Enfucell and Blue Spark Technologies are listed in the same report as “major players” in the flexible battery market.

Enfucell’s non-rechargeable soft battery line contains no heavy metals or toxic materials and comes in various various voltages (1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 volts). While a typical 1.5 volt AA battery is heavy and bulky, a standard 1.5 volt Softbattery is as thin as a business card and roughly the size of a nicotine patch. It has a minimum shelf life of 2 years and weighs just .10 ounces. The battery system is based on Zinc, Manganese Dioxide, and Zinc-chlorite and is manufactured with high volume screen printing and lamination equipment as seen below:




The company is initially targeting the areas of pharmaceuticals & cosmetics, RFID & microsensors, and “functional packaging”. One pharmaceutical application the Softbattery can be used for is to power disposable iontophoresis devices which can “enhance the delivery of active ingredients through skin up to 1000 times”. Enfucell released their new “SoftBattery® Plus Technology” last month which has about a 50% reduction in internal resistance resulting in higher peak currents and longer battery life compared to the conventional SoftBattery®. Earlier this year, Xymox Technologies began manufacturing and selling the Enfucell SoftBattery® in North America.

The same MarketsandMarkets report lists a total of 8 major players in this market so Enfucell is not alone. However the Company seems to be making good progress towards commercializing their technology and have seem to overcome what they believe is the number one challenge facing printed electronics; integrated mass manufacturing.

Kateeva uses Inkjet Printing, for OLEDs - N - Dec 14, 2013
www.nanalyze.com/2013/12/kateeva-uses-inkjet-printing-for-ol…

"Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) provide a superior display technology to traditional liquid crystal displays (LCDs). If you have a Samsung or Motorola smart phone, it most likely has an OLED display. Significant advantages of OLEDs include truer color, better contrast ratio, and lower power—on a thinner and more flexible screen. However OLED adoption is limited by high production costs and the biggest technical problem; the limited lifetime of the organic materials used in the production process. OLEDs can be printed onto any suitable surface by an inkjet printer or even by screen printing theoretically making them cheaper to produce than LCD or plasma. One company that is looking to use inkjet printing to make the production of OLEDs economically viable is Kateeva.





About

Founded in 2008, Silicon Valley based Kateeva is backed by $75 million in venture capital so far from the likes of Applied Materials, Madrone Capital Partners, DBL Investors, and Musea Ventures. The Company is the inspiration of five MIT researchers who came together to turn a revolutionary invention into a revolutionary business. The Chief Technology Officer of Kateeva is OLED co-inventor, Steven Van Slyke, a leading authority on OLED technology who holds more than 35 patents in the areas of OLED materials and device architecture.


YIELDjet

YIELDjet is claimed to be the world’s first inkjet printer engineered from the ground up for OLED mass production and doubles lifetime in certain applications by enclosing the tool in a pure nitrogen chamber. While particle contamination is a guaranteed yield killer, the YIELDjet process has a 10X reduction in particles when compared to commonly used OLED production techniques. Where an LCD screen requires seven distinct device components, an OLED screen has only four.




Kateeva expects YIELDjet to produce OLEDs at a cost 30 percent less than that of LCD manufacturing when the product is used in mass production.

Kateeva’s YIELDjet production equipment targets some large markets. With 55” OLED TVs debuting this year, Touch Display Research predicts that by 2020 this market will reach $15.5 billion. IHS Inc. predicts global market revenue for flexible OLEDs to soar from $21.9 million in 2013 to $94.8 million in 2014 and by 2020 rise to well above $5.5 billion. While YIELDjet seems to be operating in stealth mode based on the few news items they have released to date, any news of YIELDjet adoption by major electronics manufacturers could signal that YIELDjet is ready for prime time.

Canatu +Carbon Nanobud Enabled Displays - N - Nov 5, 2013
www.nanalyze.com/2013/11/canatu-and-carbon-nanobud-enabled-d…

"In previous articles, we highlighted companies such as Cambrios and Cima Nanotech that are looking to displace the use of Indium Tin Oxide in touch screens. One other company that is playing in this space is Canatu.





About

Founded as a spin-off from the Helsinki University of Technology in 2004, private Finnish company Canatu has raised $18 million from government funding as well as private funding from the likes of Troika Ventures and Inventure Capital. With 150 patents in 17 patent families, the company started its commercial activities in 2008 and now has over 40 companies evaluating their “carbon nanobud” CNB™ films for touch screens, displays, and touch sensitive surfaces.


Technology

Canatu’s new material, the Carbon NanoBud®, is a hybrid of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes which combines the best features of both fullerenes and nanotubes. The material has shown to be a much superior field emitter than traditional nanotubes and they need not be aligned for the purpose. The result is what is claimed to be the world’s highest performance carbon based transparent conductive film. Since 2007 Canatu has been able to double the conductivity at a given transparency approximately every 12 months. Canatu has developed a manufacturing method called Direct Dry Printing® (DDP) which allows direct application of the NanoBud films on any substrate material, even at room temperature at much less cost than competing methods.




Products

Canatu has developed flexible touch sensors with world-record bendability, to be applied in flexible and foldable consumer electronics products. Additionally the sensors are thermoformable, which means they maintain conductivity even after 100% stretching. The sensors can detect 10 simultaneous touches and are totally invisible with light transmission achieving a record high of 97%. Additionally, these films have the highest transmission of any carbon nanomaterials, with 96% transmission at 150 ohms/square sheet resistivity. With almost zero reflectivity and haze, Canatu’s film is the highest performing transparent conductor material in the market. The high contrast characteristics of these films further enable the use of lower backlight power to increase battery life by up to 20%.

While Canatu’s headquarters and production facility are located in Helsinki, the company also has sales offices in Japan, Korea, China, Europe and the USA. The company is now taking orders for their CNB™ films and sensors with a high-volume CNB™ film manufacturing plant planned to open in 2014. Given the company’s claims to the competitive superiority of their ITO displacement technology, it should not be long before the company aligns itself with a major industry player. "

Organs-on-Chips: An Alternative to 3D Bioprinting? - N - Jul 28, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/07/organs-on-chips-an-alternative-to-3…

"While 3D Printing has attracted a great deal of attention from investors because of high growth projections, 3D Bioprinting has attracted investors because of its futuristic appeal. Some companies involved in 3D Bioprinting are raising eyebrows with their lofty ambitions, like private company Modern Meadow which is looking to 3D Print leather, or publicly traded Organovo (NYSEMKT:ONVO) which hopes one day to be able to print human organs for transplant. The reality is though, that neither of these companies are anywhere near being able to 3D Bioprint at a size or economic scale to realize these aspirations.

A more near-term use for 3D Bioprinting is to create small samples of organ tissues that can potentially be used for drug testing. Organovo plans to launch its upcoming 3D Human Liver Tissue before the end of 2014, and there are many other companies involved in 3D Bioprinting that could look to enter this space as well. While the idea of 3D Printing human organ tissues for drug testing sounds like a good one, there are other types of technology applications that could serve the same purpose. One such technology is refered to as “organs-on-chips”.


“Organs-On-Chips”

Human “organs-on-chips” are composed of a clear, flexible polymer about the size of a computer memory stick, and contain hollow microfluidic channels lined by living human cells.




These 3D organ and tissue models allow researchers to recreate the physiological and mechanical functions of the organ, and have the potential to eliminate the need to use animals for drug development and toxin testing. While saving animals has a certain feel good element to it, it is more likely the cost savings that will appeal to pharmaceuticals looking for alternatives to existing drug testing methods. Scientists test potential pharmaceuticals on animals because it is too dangerous to perform initial tests on humans. The problem with this method is that more often than not, the predictions gleaned from animal tests will fail when a compound is tested on humans.


Emulate: A New “Organ-On-Chip” Spinout from Harvard

Harvard University’s Wyss Institute is as an alliance among Harvard’s Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts & Sciences which engages in high-risk research that leads to transformative technological breakthroughs. Wyss has claimed to have developed more than 10 different “organs-on-chips”, and to have created an instrument that will fluidically link all the organs together to mimic whole body physiology – a so called “human on a chip”:




In October of last year, the Wyss Institute announced a collaboration with AstraZeneca to leverage the “organs-on-chips” technologies to better predict the safety of drugs in humans. The technology seems to be getting closer to being commercially viable, as just today the Wyss Institute announced that they have spun out a startup company called “Emulate” which has taken in $12 million in Series A funding lead by venture firm Nanodimensions along with participation from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the founder of the Wyss Institute, billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. Emulate expects the funding to last about 2 years while the company looks to move into personalized medicine by using sample cells from a patient to construct patient-specific organs on its chips.

Emulate isn’t the only player in this space though. A Netherlands based startup named Mimetas has commercially available “organs-on-chips” called Organoplates and recently partnered with Belgian biotech Galapagos to further develop these products. Several other startups are also competing in this space as well, however Emulate’s strong backing and intellectual pedigree make it one to watch in the coming years as “organs-on-chips” are tested for their economic viability by the major players in the pharmaceutical industry in a continuing bid to reduce costs.

A 'Potential Problem With the Recent CareDX IPO' - N - Jul 24, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/07/a-potential-problem-with-the-recent…
www.nanalyze.com/2014/05/detecting-heart-transplant-rejectio…

"Several months ago we highlighted a promising company called CareDX (NASDAQ:CDNA) which is dramatically simplifying the heart transplant process with their molecular diagnostics test for heart transplant patients. Instead of using a biopsy, an expensive and risky surgical procedure, to determine the immune systems response to a heart transplant, the CareDX AlloMap blood test can be used instead. CareDX debuted their IPO last week which raised $40 million in a downsized offering of 4 million shares at $10, well below the range of $15 to $17. The shares are currently trading right around the $10 range giving the company a market cap of around $115 million.

AlloMap has obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA and more than 55,000 commercial AlloMap tests have been performed in total on 13,000 recipients. The AlloMap test has received positive coverage decisions for reimbursement from Medicare and many of the largest private payers, and as of March 31, 2014, the Company had been reimbursed for approximately 78% of AlloMap results delivered in the twelve months ended September 30, 2013. While the company is operating at a loss, from 2012 to 2013, testing revenue grew from $19.7 million to $21.7 million representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 9.8%.

While revenue growth is not spectacular, CareDX has an innovative niche product that could potentially capture a much larger market share especially when they move to sell it internationally. There is however, one concern though that is buried in the S-1 which investors may want to take notice of.


The Roche Issue

In 2004, CareDX entered into a license agreement with Roche for which granted them the right to use Roche’s patented PCR technology in connection with Allomap. In February of 2014, Roche filed a demand for arbitration stating that CareDX failed to report and pay royalties owed to Roche in respect to licensed services performed after July 1, 2011. The amount in question is estimated to be around $3 million. CareDX makes the following statement concerning this event:


We cannot assure you that Roche will not seek to terminate the license agreement, that we would ultimately prevail in the arbitration or that in the event that Roche were successful in terminating the license agreement, that it would not thereafter seek to enjoin us from selling AlloMap based upon a claim of patent infringement. If any of these things were to occur, we cannot assure you that we would not be materially adversely affected. Among other things, any inability by us to continue to perform AlloMap would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


This is most concerning when you consider that Allomap is CareDX’s only product at this time.

The problem is not so much with the potential loss of $3 million of which CareDx has already reserved on their balance sheet. The concern is really twofold.

Firstly, how could CareDx not maintain an understanding with a key partner over royalties that were to be paid, and when there was a dispute, why did they have to seek an arbitrator as opposed to reaching a mutual agreement with Roche?

Secondly, CareDX has now aired their “dirty laundry” and in doing so, has probably raised some eyebrows from investors who realize that the one and only current product offering from CareDX is now at the mercy of Roche. Could this risk factor be behind the significant downsizing of their offering? A hearing for this matter has been scheduled for February 2, 2015 and the impact of the that decision on the share price may answer this question. "

Advanced Oncotherapy Plc - Our view: has added 'another world class partner', in the development of its LIGHT project - DT/BS - Jul 22, 2014
www.directorstalk.com/advanced-oncotherapy-our-view-has-adde…
www.advancedoncotherapy.com/News/articleType/CategoryView/ca…

"the developer of the next generation of particle therapy using protons to treat cancer, today announced that it had entered into a collaboration with industry leader ScandiNova Systems AB. ScandiNova will develop the high energy systems that will power the unit of their proprietary LIGHT system in the process of creating the proton beam. ScandiNova was founded in 2001 to commercialise technical expertise in pulsed power applications including Radiotherapy, Radar, industrial X-ray and scientific accelerator systems. The company is located in Uppsala, Sweden and has established a global network of collaborations with highly skilled and experienced partners covering industry, academia and research organisations such as CERN in Europe, Lawrence Livermore and Brookhaven National Laboratories in the US. ScandiNova specialises in the development of solid state controlled power systems which require about one third of the space and are 30% more efficient than those used in standard, older technology synchrotrons.

Our view: Advanced Oncotherapy has added another world class partner in the development of its LIGHT project. ScandiNova is expected to become a key partner and eventually supplier of Solid State Pulse Power products in commercial production of the complete LIGHT system. This move is one further step in a comprehensive list of key milestones the Group has targeted out to 2016. This time next year, for example, its aims to have completed system testing and certification in preparation for production. During 2016, full manufacturing is expected to get underway, having identified supply chain manufactures and sourced materials, followed by first commissioning against existing Letters of Intent. Based on current costing these will be priced at, perhaps, one quarter of the typical £170m cost of current generation cyclotrons whilst still delivering a healthy 15% or greater net profit margin, which should expand further as production /commissioning become more regularised. Additional revenues will be generated through service contracts to maintain the LIGHT units over the 30-year life cycle of the systems. AVO estimated there will be demand for as many as 15 machines a year, although the scheduled replacement of the rapidly aging international base of 20,000 or so radiation centres, suggests its eventual market looks to become much larger. Beaufort rates the shares a Speculative Buy. "

Venture capitalists are even more gun shy with private companies such as Konarka, the solar cell manufacturer which was co-founded by a Nobel laureate and took in $200 million from the likes of Total, Chevron, and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, having declared bankruptcy in 2012 with almost no salvageable value. One private solar cell manufacturer with strong backing and a follow on round of funding announced just today is Solexel.




About

Founded in 2007, Milpitas, California based Solexel has developed a unique process to manufacture high efficiency solar cells at a low cost. While many other companies make this claim, Solexel seems to have validated their claim with strong backing from a broad base of notable investors including SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) who invested in Solexel several years ago. In 2012, Solexel received $25 million for the production of a pilot plant in California with further plans to build a large scale production plant on a 100 acre lot in Malaysia. The funding round announced today of $31 million included Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Technology Partners and DAG Ventures bringing the company’s total funding to $200 million.


The Process

The creation of silicon wafers which are used to make computer chips involves the following process:




A silicon wafer acts as a base for chips or chips are embedded in the wafer, both methods of which allow for the creation of semiconductors that brought us the age of computing. The problem with the method of growing silicon and then carving it into wafers is mainly the defects that can occur curing the creation of the wafers and the high level of waste involved in the overall process. The below excerpt from an article on optics.org explains how Solexel’s process differs:

Solexel’s disruptive approach relies on epitaxy, the technology that is used by LED manufacturers to deposit the thin layers of light-emitting semiconductor materials onto wafer substrates that are then diced into individual chips. Epitaxy is, in essence, crystal growth using gas-phase chemistry, and in the Solexel process the key material is trichlorosilane gas.

The Solexel patented process grows the silicon wafers using an additive process (like 3D printing) as opposed to the subtraction process currently used in the silicon industry today.

According to an article by Bloomberg last year, Solexel’s Malaysian production facility will start with a 200 megawatt-a-year production line that is expected to cost $275 million with the entire project requiring an investment of $930 million. With those hefty capital needs, Solexel may look to obtain their additional funding through an IPO, an exit event which would also allow current investors who have been in it for the long haul realize some profits on their initial investment.

U.S. Solar Industry Association Condemns New Tariffs on Chinese Solar Modules - CT - Jul 28, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/07/28/u-s-solar-industry-associ…

"In a further escalation of the solar trade war with China, the U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed yet another layer of tariffs on solar modules from China, and – for the first time – on imports from Taiwan. In a decision announced today, Commerce will immediately impose antidumping duties ranging from 26.33 to 58.87 percent for most Chinese suppliers and 27.59 to 44.18 percent for Taiwanese producers. Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) was quick to condemn the decision.


“Enough is enough. The Department of Commerce continues to rely on an overly broad scope definition for subject imports from China, adversely impacting both American consumers and the vast majority of the U.S. solar industry,” Resch said. “We strongly urge the U.S. and Chinese governments to ‘freeze the playing field’ and focus all efforts on finding a negotiated solution. This continued, unnecessary litigation has already done serious damage, with even more likely to result as the investigations proceed.

“If there’s a silver lining to today’s announcement, “Resch continued, “it’s the fact that the U.S. and Chinese governments, SolarWorld, and Chinese manufacturers now have a brief window of opportunity to move forward on settlement discussions. SEIA got the ball rolling in this direction first by proposing a negotiated solution and then bringing the parties together. Now it’s time to start bargaining in earnest.

“A win-win settlement of the broader U.S.-China-Taiwan solar trade conflict is still achievable – as well as one for polysilicon. As the old saying goes, ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way.’ Today, the parties are finally engaged and all sides seem committed to finding a negotiated solution. I am encouraging my U.S. and Chinese industry colleagues to roll-up our sleeves, work together, and find a deal that’s good for everyone.”

SEIA will hold a webinar on July 29 at 1 p.m. EST to examine the impact of today’s Department of Commerce decisions on the U.S. solar industry.

Industrial lead pollution beat explorers to the South Pole by 22 years ENN/CG - Jul 28, 2014
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47641
www.clickgreen.org.uk/news/international-news/124988-industr…

"Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to reach the South Pole in December of 1911. More than 100 years later, an international team of scientists led by Joe McConnell of Nevada's Desert Research Institute (DRI) have proven that air pollution from industrial activities arrived long before.


Using data from 16 ice cores collected from widely spaced locations around the Antarctic continent, including the South Pole, McConnell's team created the most accurate and precise reconstruction to date of lead pollution over the Earth's southernmost continent. The new record, described in an article published today in the online edition of the Nature journal Scientific Reports, spans a 410-year period from 1600 to 2010 A.D.

"Our new record shows the dramatic impact of industrial activities such as smelting, mining, and fossil fuel burning on even the most remote parts of the world," said McConnell, the study's lead author, research professor and director of DRI's ultra-trace ice core analytical laboratory, located on the institute's campus in Reno, Nev.

"It is very clear that industrial lead contamination was pervasive throughout Antarctica by the late 19th century, more than two decades before the first explorers made it to the South Pole," he added. "The idea that Amundsen and Scott were traveling over snow that clearly was contaminated by lead from smelting and mining in Australia, and that lead pollution at that time was nearly as high as any time ever since, is surprising to say the least."

All measurements of lead and other chemicals used in this study were made using DRI's unique continuous ice core analytical system. Low background atmospheric concentrations, together with well-known and often distinct isotopic characteristics of industrial sources make lead an ideal tracer of industrial pollution.

"Lead is a toxic heavy metal with strong potential to harm ecosystems," said co-author Paul Vallelonga of the University of Copenhagen. "While concentrations measured in Antarctic ice cores are very low, the records show that atmospheric concentrations and deposition rates increased approximately six-fold in the late 1880's, coincident with the start of mining at Broken Hill in southern Australia and smelting at nearby Port Pirie."

The similar timing and magnitude of changes in lead deposition across Antarctica, as well as the characteristic isotopic signature of Broken Hill lead found throughout the continent, suggest that this single emission source in southern Australia was responsible for the introduction of lead pollution into Antarctica at the end of the 19th century and remains a significant source today, the authors report.

Ozone +arising temperatures combined will affect food security - ENN/MIT - Jul 28, 2014
http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/climate-change-air-pollution-…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47642

"A new study shows that interactions between increasing temperature and air pollution can be quite significant, when it comes to addressing food security.


Conducted in part by researchers at MIT, a study looked in detail at global production of four leading food crops — rice, wheat, corn, and soy. It predicts that effects will vary considerably from region to region, and that some of the crops are much more strongly affected by one or the other of the factors: For example, wheat is very sensitive to ozone exposure, while corn is much more adversely affected by heat.

Colette Heald, associate professor of civic and environmental engineering at MIT, explains that while it's known that both higher temperatures and ozone pollution can damage plants and reduce crop yields, "nobody has looked at these together." And while rising temperatures are widely discussed, the impact of air quality on crops is less recognized.

The effects are likely to vary widely by region, the study predicts. In the United States, tougher air-quality regulations are expected to lead to a sharp decline in ozone pollution, mitigating its impact on crops. But in other regions, the outcome "will depend on domestic air-pollution policies," Heald says. "An air-quality cleanup would improve crop yields."

Overall, with all other factors being equal, warming may reduce crop yields globally by about 10 percent by 2050, the study found. But the effects of ozone pollution are more complex — some crops are more strongly affected by it than others — which suggests that pollution-control measures could play a major role in determining outcomes.

While heat and ozone can each damage plants independently, the factors also interact. For example, warmer temperatures significantly increase production of ozone from the reactions, in sunlight, of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides. Because of these interactions, the team found that 46 percent of damage to soybean crops that had previously been attributed to heat is actually caused by increased ozone.

Under some scenarios, the researchers found that pollution-control measures could make a major dent in the expected crop reductions following climate change. For example, while global food production was projected to fall by 15 percent under one scenario, larger emissions decreases projected in an alternate scenario reduce that drop to 9 percent. "

NIH Awards Imbed Bio a $1.500.000 Grant, to Develop 'Advanced Wound Healing Nanofilm' - Jul 30, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/07/29/nih-awards…

"Imbed Biosciences, Inc, a medical device company developing advanced materials for wound healing and surgical applications, announced today that it has been awarded a $1.5M competitive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant from National Institute for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), a division of National Institutes of Health (NIH).


Ankit Agarwal, PhD, Founder/CEO of Imbed and the Principal Investigator on the grant, said, “This award supports our ongoing investment to develop unique polymeric nanofilm dressings containing silver nanoparticles. The dressing would allow closure of hard-to-heal burns and chronic wounds without infection or silver toxicity.” In Phase I, company validated the feasibility of employing these ultrathin conformal wound dressings in contaminated wounds in mice, which expedited wound closure by reducing bacterial colonization.

“It a very competitive award, which validates the uniqueness of this polymeric nanofilm technology. A significant merit is that the concept is adaptable to delivery of a wide range of bioactive molecules on tissue surfaces, providing a broadly applicable healthcare materials platform,” said co-founder Nicholas Abbott, PhD, Professor in Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“This next-generation wound dressing will be applicable at the onset of any wound treatment plan without silver toxicity. The nanofilm dressing dissolves in wound over time, potentially reducing painful dressing changes,” said co-founder Prof. Michael Schurr, MD, burn and trauma surgeon in School of Medicine at University of Colorado, Denver.

With this funding, Imbed plans to begin testing the nanofilm dressing in pigs. “Clinical data from porcine wounds will be used to obtain regulatory clearance for human clinical trials,” said co-founder Prof. Jonathan McAnulty, DVM, PhD, leading porcine studies as a part of this grant in School of Veterinary Medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“Wound healing research is an important component of the NIAMS portfolio. It is part of an effort to reduce the impact of human skin wounds on public health and the economy. This SBIR Phase II award to Imbed Bio reflects our commitment to meet this public need,” said Dr. Hung Tseng, Program Director of the Skin Repair, Regeneration and Pigmentation Program in the Division of Skin and Rheumatic Diseases at the NIAMS.

“We have a team of renowned experts in surface engineering, microbiology and surgical sciences committed to bring this wound healing nanofilm technology into clinics,” said Agarwal.


About Imbed Biosciences:

Imbed Biosciences Inc. is a privately held medical device company located in Madison, WI. Company has patent-pending technologies on polymeric nanofilms and microfilms for delivering tailored loadings bioactive molecules on tissue surfaces. Company’s vision is to develop next-generation surgical devices that can reduce patient pain and overall treatment costs, including antimicrobial dressings for dermal wounds, hernia surgical meshes, barrier films for gastro-intestinal defects, and dural membranes.

General Motor, OnStar, EV's +the Smart Grid - NN/JM - Jul 29, 2014
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47646
www.justmeans.com/press-release/gm-teams-up-with-ev-industry…

"General Motors is bringing its OnStar-enabled Smart Grid solutions, to one of the largest electric vehicle collaborations to take place within the industry. Eight global automakers, including GM, and 15 electric utilities are working with the Electric Power Research Institute to develop and implement a standardized Smart Grid integration platform.


"One thing that’s missing from most Smart Grid programs is a sense of collaboration," said Tim Nixon, chief technology officer, Global Connected Consumer, GM. "Companies will showcase a meaningful solution, but without widespread acceptance in the industry, its usability is limited. That's what makes this partnership unique."

GM currently offers extended range electric vehicles — the Chevrolet Volt and Cadillac ELR — as well as the all-electric Chevrolet Spark EV. The plug-in electric vehicle market in the U.S. has grown to more than 225,000 vehicles — including more than 63,000 Chevrolet Volts, the best-selling plug-in vehicle in the U.S. since launch in 2010.

"As electric vehicles become more prevalent in the marketplace, it will present some unique challenges and opportunities for utilities who manage the flow of the electric grid," said Dan Bowermaster, EPRI manager of Electric Transportation. "The focus of this collaboration is to create a standard program that will allow utilities to work with different types of plug-in vehicles to more efficiently manage their demand on the grid."

For the first phase of the program, EPRI and the participating companies will work to develop a standardized Demand Response solution. Demand Response is the signal a utility sends to an energy management company communicating the supply and demand needs to the electric grid. That company then communicates with designated plug-in vehicles in the area to manage their energy consumption in accordance with the grid’s needs. "

M&G Chemicals, Anhui Guozhen "ink pact, to build world's largest cellulosic biofuels plant", 970.000 -1.300.000 tons of biomass/year; 70/30 JV -capex drops 30%/gallon, since Crescentino - B - Jul 29, 2014

"From China, we hear that M&G Chemicals announced a joint venture with Anhui Guozhen CO, using PROESA technology licensed by Beta Renewables to convert 970,000-1,300,000 metric tons per year of agricultural residues into cellulosic ethanol, glycols and by-products such as lignin in Fuyang City (Anhui Province, PRC).

The biomass will be supplied by Guozhen under a long term fixed price agreement, and the enzymes needed for the conversion of the biomass will be supplied by Novozymes as earlier announced.

M&G and Guozhen shareholding in the Green Refinery joint venture are 70% and 30% respectively and the total joint venture investment is estimated to be around $325 million, to construct what will be by far the largest cellulosic (i.e. using non-food biomass) bio-refinery in the world.

The two companies further expect to soon announce the creation of a second joint venture, to convert the lignin into steam and electricity.


More about Guozen

Guozhen Group is an enterprise in Anhui Province, East China. With total assets of US$ 800 million, the group has been mainly involved in the business of environmental protection, natural gas, renewable energy, health and real estate, operating biomass power plant and CNG filling stations in Fuyang City.


More about Beta Renewables, +PROESA technology

Beta Renewables — a subsidiary of Chemtex, and Grupo M&G — developed and deployed its low-cost cellulosic biofuels technology, known as PROESA in recent years. The PROESA platform includes an integrated solution for ethanol and power production. The sugars produced from the PROESA pretreatment and hydrolysis process can be also be converted to renewable diesel and a range of bio-based chemicals using the bio-technology of third parties.










Based on pilot plant results, and backed by extensive agronomic studies, the PROESA solution is expected to produce ethanol that is competitive to commercial grade fossil fuels based on an oil price of USD 50-70/bbl. For bio-based chemicals, the PROESA pretreatment technology is expected to be capable of producing fermentable sugars at approximately 50-60% of the cost of market sucrose. The PROESA ethanol platform can also provide power, based on the burning of lignin, as a co-product for national grids.

PROESA technology has the capability to use a wide variety of feedstocks. Successful testing has been completed for a number of different energy crops (Arundo Donax, Miscanthus, Fiber Sorghum and Switchgrass) and biomasses including corn stover, rice husk and straw (wheat and barley).


The Economics

The Crescentino projected biomass cost was $40-$50 per tonne, or around $80-$100 per tonne of recoverable sugars, with around $150 per ton for the enzyme load. That’s $230 to $250 per tonne, or around 10 cents per pound for the sugars – bump that up to 12 cents to account for other variable and fixed costs.

The ethanol numbers have a similar structure to the sugars data. $40-$50 for the biomass, or $160-$225 for the recoverable ethanol component per tonne. The yeast they peg at $10-$15 per tonne. $150 per tonne for the enzymes, and $50 for other fixed and variable costs. The total is $370-$440 per tonne or $1.11- $1.31 per gallon operating cost. They continue to guide based on a $5 per gallon capital cost per 20 million gallon project.
The Digest’s understanding is that the cost was €90M for the Crescentino’s cellulosic biofuels capacity itself, or around $5.60 per gallon for the capex the first time around — for 20 million gallons. This project is in the 70-90 million gallon range. So we are looking at roughly $3.56 to $4.14 per gallon of capacity. As Beta promised — big drop in capex this time around.


Reaction from the partners

Marco Ghisolfi – M&G Chemicals CEO – said, “I am excited about the completion of this first very important step towards the creation of the world largest second generation bio-refinery in Fuyang City and I would like to take the opportunity to thank Gouzhen management as well as the Fuyang City authorities for their partnership in this ground breaking and transformational enterprise”.

Li Wei – Chairman of Guozhen Group – said this is a very important project not only for Guozhen Group and M&G but also for Fuyang City as it will create a green and sustainable environment for Fuyang and bolster the local economy. "

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

World-1st trial of in situ gold process - AM - Nov/Dec11
www.asiaminer.com/magazine/images/stories/pdf/TAM-NOV-DEC-11…

"A NEW, environmentally-friendly process developed by Australia’s CSIRO, to extract gold without mining , is to be field tested for the 1st time with a South Australian gold deposit chosen as the test site. The breakthrough insitu process, which may reduce the need for conventional, expensive open-cut mining techniques, is being taken forward through a collaboration agreement between the CSIRO +Minotaur Exploration.


A 15-month program of field trials to confirm the process concept will take place @Minotaur’s Tunkillia gold deposit in the Gawler Craton, south of Tarcoola. It is specifically designed to treat oxide gold occurrences, as distinct from sulphide, or ‘primary’, gold systems.

Minotaur’s managing director Andrew Woskett says, “The process has the potential to revolutionize the way we normally mine near surface weathered(or oxide) gold deposits , while @the same time delivering potential massive cost savings for the owners of oxide gold resources.”

The full trial program @Tunkillia +associated exploration is expected to cost ~Aus$3.000.000, +is intended to lead to proof-of-concept for the in-situ gold extraction process. Successful demonstration of the process @the field scale could open up the potential for any similar oxide gold deposits to be brought into production @low capital +operating costs, compared to traditional mining +processing methods.
The in-situ gold extraction process has been developed through intensive laboratory work by the CSIRO, with support from Minotaur +several other research project participants. Tunkillia oxide samples performed particularly well under CSIRO laboratory conditions testing the in-situ extraction process. Minotaur has elected to solely drive +fund the next development step for the process, the field trials, which, if successful, will position the company for its inaugural commercial application @Tunkillia.

The process involves installation of a conventional groundwater recovery bore field +injection of an appropriate solution(lixiviant) into the host rock. The lixiviant dissolves the gold in the rock +the gold in solution travels through the rock mass to be recovered, to surface, via nearby extraction wells, as ‘pregnant’ solution. This differs markedly from conventional heap leach gold operations which require the ore to be mined, crushed +stockpiled on surface(as heaps) prior to irrigation with a cyanide solution.

The CSIRO has developed a non-cyanide solution that, when injected into the host rock, is expected to cause minimal alteration to groundwater chemistry. The field trials will focus on determining key objectives: the transmission characteristics of the lixiviant through the host ore body; groundwater modification; gold recovery rates +; economic feasibility of the in-situ gold recovery process. A range of environmentally acceptable lixiviants has been trialled in the laboratory by CSIRO, with promising results. Groundwater @the Tunkillia test site is restricted in distribution, is highly saline +is not fit for human or stock consumption. The tests are expected to demonstrate no material detrimental impact on the quality of the groundwater.

Significantly, the process negates the need for traditional reliance on cyanide in solution to liberate gold from ore, thereby minimising hazardous material consumption +potential site contamination. It obviates the need for prestripping, drill +blast, open-cut mining, crushing +grinding circuits, cyanide leach systems, waste dumps +tailings dams ."

Volkswagen +Bosch are working on automated park-and-charge systems, for electric cars; The EU-funded V-Charge consortium is fine-tuning a system — already successfully demonstrated @a German airport —for taking over autonomous electric vehicles +parking them very accurately, leaving them charging +ready to be summoned by the user’s app - GO/GTM/VCC - Jul 31, 2014

"European researchers and car companies are working on an automated car-parking and charging service for autonomous, electric vehicles.

The V-Charge consortium – not to be confused with the also-interesting VCharge grid energy storage outfit — includes Bosch and Volkswagen, along with researchers from Switzerland, Italy, Germany and the U.K. In this case, “V-Charge” stands for “valet parking and charging.”

The idea behind the consortium’s work is for drivers to leave their electric car at the car park entrance, after which their smartphone app will talk to the car park’s server and send the vehicle off to a free space. The app would also be used to retrieve the car, which would have been charged in the meantime for good measure.

The system has already been tested at Stuttgart Airport in Germany, and it’s now being fine-tuned with an eye on completion next year. This is largely a matter of making the parking maneuvers more accurate – a particularly important point if the cars are to automatically plug into the charging station at their parking spot.

According to a Thursday statement from the European Commission (this is an EU-funded project), the necessary obstacle-finding cameras and ultrasonic sensors and other components should be cheap enough to build into normal electric cars. They’re not the only ones chasing that dream, of course. Other players like Volvo, BMW and Audi — and Google of course — also aim to make parking, and driving in general, a real no-brainer. "

Danish Wind Power "to be" Half the Price of Coal +Natural Gas, by 2016 - CT/YE360/DEA/TP - Jul 31, 2014

http://cleantechies.com/2014/07/30/danish-wind-power-to-be-h…

"Wind power has overtaken all other energy sources as the cheapest form of electricity in Denmark, with a cost roughly half that of coal and natural gas projected by 2016, according to an analysis by the Danish Energy Association (DEA).

Home to major turbine manufacturers Vestas and Siemens, the country has been investing steadily in wind power since the 1970s and seems to be reaping the benefits of those investments now, analysts say.

Electricity from two new onshore wind power facilities set to begin operating in 2016 will cost around 5 euro cents per kilowatt-hour, according to DEA calculations. Wind power would remain the cheapest energy option even if interest rates on wind power projects were to increase by 10 percent, the report found.

The Danish government aims to meet 50 percent of the country’s total electricity needs with wind power by 2020, and another 20 percent with other renewable sources. By 2050, the government aims to produce all electricity from renewable sources. "

Importance of Air Quality +Employee Productivity - ENN/RPS - Jul 30, 2014
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47651

"A number of credible studies have shown that indoor air quality can have a significant effect on employee productivity. And we're not just talking about air that's so bad that you can't see or breathe. Generally speaking, OSHA takes cares of those (though I could tell you a story about an agricultural processing job I once worked in Arkansas). What we're talking about here is much more subtle than that.


For example, a series of laboratory studies at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) examined typing speed and accuracy, as well as addition and proofreading error rate, with and without a section of 20-year-old carpet present in the room. The carpet, which was known to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), was hidden from the subjects. (VOC s are used and produced in the manufacture of paints, adhesives, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, dry cleaning agents and refrigerants.) Results found a 4 percent improvement in speed and accuracy when the carpet was absent. The amount of ventilation used also had a significant impact. Results above were achieved with 20 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per person being blown into the room. Dropping that down to 6 CFM per person led to an additional 4 percent decrease in performance. Increasing the ventilation to 60 CFM per person achieved the same result as removing the carpet.

Another study found the presence of CRT monitors led to a 16 percent increase in typing error rate. A similar study found a 10 percent improvement in call center talk times when additional fresh air ventilation was provided. In many of these studies, the inhabitants made no complaints and were unaware of any issue with respect to the air quality.

Another extensive study performed at the Technical University of Denmark had similar results: A series of 8-week-long intervention experiments in call centers found performance improvements in the 6 to 9 percent range. While these numbers may not seem particularly high, they could be achieved at relatively low cost, or, in the case of new facility construction, built-in at the outset. "

Deep-Sea Octopus' Egg-Brooding Period Breaks Record! - ENN/MBARI - Jul 30, 2014

- A. Winter -
www.mbari.org/news/news_releases/2014/octomom/octomom-releas…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47650

"Robins sit on their eggs for about two weeks after they are laid. Male seahorses usually carry eggs for 9 to 45 days. Deep-sea octopuses? Four and a half years!


Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have observed this unique brooding phenomenon and have declares this species to have a longer brooding time than any other known animal .

Egg brooding happens after the parent species lays the eggs. The parents then do everything in their power to protect those eggs so that offspring can develop. This includes cleaning the eggs and guarding them from predators, which evidently risks the parents' own ability to survive.

In May 2007, during a deep-sea surveys, researchers from MBARI, led by Bruce Robison, discovered a female octopus (Graneledone boreopacifica), clinging to a rocky ledge just above the floor of the canyon, about 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) below the ocean surface.

Over the next four and one-half years, the researchers dove at this same site 18 times. Each time, they found the same octopus, which they could identify by her distinctive scars, in the same place. As the years passed, her translucent eggs grew larger and the researchers could see young octopuses developing inside. Over the same period, the female gradually lost weight and her skin became loose and pale.

The researchers never saw the female leave her eggs or eat anything .

The last time the researchers saw the brooding octopus was in September 2011. When they returned one month later, they found that the female was gone.

After counting the remnants of the egg capsules, the researchers estimated that the female octopus had been brooding about 160 eggs.

Because the young octopus spend so much time in their eggs, by the time they hatch they are fully capable of surviving on their own and hunting for small prey. In fact, the newborns of G. boreopacifica are larger and better developed than the hatchlings of any other octopus or squid.

Such long brooding times present an evolutionary challenge, especially for animals such as octopus, which do not live very long.

This research suggests that, in addition to setting records for the longest brooding time of any animal, Graneledone boreopacifica may be one of the longest lived cephalopods. Most shallow-water octopuses and squids live just a year or two. "

Where should "Intelligent Energy" go? Ideas from Saudi Aramco, Statoil, Shell +ExxonMobil - DEJ - Jul 31, 2014
www.digitalenergyjournal.com/n/Intelligent_Energy_Plenary_Se…

"The first plenary session of the Intelligent Energy conference in Utrecht, Netherlands in April looked at "aspirations" with speakers from Saudi Aramco, Statoil, Shell and ExxonMobil talking about where they would like intelligent energy to go


Ike Bellaci, senior petroleum engineering consultant, Saudi Aramco, said that the company's reservoir engineering aspiration is 'to know the movement of fluids with time," he said.

"4D seismic promises such an outcome. But until it works, we are left with estimated models."

Saudi Aramco has managed to reduce its drilling costs with horizontal wells, but also found you are not able to take so many measurements at different layers of the reservoir.

An audience delegate asked if future wells could be more of a grid, with laterals running horizontally and vertically, rather than just one tube. "There could be tremendous value for this technology," he replied.

Saudi Aramco is gradually moving to more 'product based' teams working structure, he said, which is "hands on and collaborative, application based".


Statoil

Halvor Kjørholt, Leader Drilling and Well Solution Statoil, said that more than half of all offshore development spending goes on drilling, and drilling more wells is the most efficient way to increase recovery.

Statoil has achieved overall recovery of its fields of over 50 per cent, and it is "aiming for 60," he said. "This percentage will continue to climb. What it takes is cheaper, more efficient drilling.'

"In terms of drilling performance, we can double the efficiency, take 50 per cent out of the time it takes to drill a well," he said. "Onshore, they have tremendously increased efficiency.

We should be able to copy some of that [offshore]."

"Technology has had a big impact on drilling safety, but not drilling efficiency," he said. "I think there is a need for a revolution on offshore drilling and technology aspirations."

Mr Kjørholt suggested five ways drilling efficiency could be improved.

More real time well diagnostics could help improve drilling efficiency, so you would have accurate information about downhole condition including selfcalibration capability.

Also technology for "Drilling sequence automation", where you can run the different sequences of drilling processes automatically rather than manually. "A version of this system is being installed in the Statfjord field of the North Sea," he said.

The industry has learned a lot from aviation and automotive industries in how to get autonomous systems running, he said.

"Drilling is operated like we operate an excavator. In future it will be much more process controlled," he said. "We tell the system which process we want. A lot will be operated autonomously."

Better downhole pressure control or managed pressure drilling would help. "It can be integrated in a drilling control system," he said.

Also robotic pipe handling on the drill floor.

It would be useful to drill inside casing, so you can make the well as you drill. "I see this as a way of making robustness in the downhole process," he said.

And real time reservoir navigation, so you can see around the drill bit during drilling.

To make this all work, "we have to develop the technology and we have to develop the competence," he said. "We are not there yet, but with five to ten years (we might). It is definitely something we can reach, at least on the technology side."

"We have to focus on preparing the organisation for this development. We have to have the right focus and some sense of urgency."


Klaus Mueller, Shell

Klaus Mueller, technology manager joint ventures with Shell, said he thought the industry could do much more with collaborative work environments (CWE). "I believe
we use it for ten to fifteen per cent of what we could use it for," he said.

The lack of uptake of these systems "really comes down to people", he said. "You need someone who's really inspired [to get it working].'

But staff are getting much more enthusiastic about CWEs, he said. "Before, no-one wanted to be in a CWE, everyone wanted a cubicle. Now, no-one wants to be out of it."

Mr Mueller said he expects to see more mobile computing tools to be used offshore, which can bring people working offshore into the collaborative work environment. Future mobile devices might include RFID readers, gas detection and man down detection.

One challenge with the smart field is that a lot of the kit involved can be very demanding for maintenance. It does not mean a pathway to unmanned operations, but it might be a pathway to taking 10 operators out of the field and putting 2 or 3 back in who are more skilled, he said.

Mr Mueller said he has seen real improvements in enhanced oil recovery, although it does demand "the IE concept in a big way".

You need to respond quickly to any problems "because it's so expensive," he said.

When it comes to getting change implemented, "we tend to use engineers as change managers and that's not a good idea," Mr Mueller said. "There are professionals out there who can do the job better."

The contracting and procurement systems "can be a huge blocker" [to intelligent energy], "with the variety of different contracts you have," he said.


ExxonMobil

Mike Ryan, VP ExxonMobil Canada East, said that the company is moving towards a vision of 'completely unoccupied larger facilities'.

"We want to be less complex and have lower costs of development," he said.

Getting there will include more remote/ unmanned operation equipment, advanced automation, advanced surface and subsurface sensing, integrated surveillance and analytics, and advanced collaboration capability, he said.

It will also need less equipment and less redundancy

Calling for less redundancy might be surprising, but the point is that having more equipment can make the overall system less reliable. It is better to have less spare equipment but equipment you know you can depend on. An example is how transatlantic planes have gone from 4 engines to 2 engines, he said.


Training

A question was asked about how companies should get the right balance between training staff while working offshore, and training staff using collaborative work environments.

ExxonMobil's Mr Ryan said he thought onshore training might be more critical in future. "We have still too many people offshore. As we move work onshore we'll find ways to work efficiently," he said.

Statoil's Mr Kjørholt said "I see simulation as critical to compensate for lack of experience in the field."

Shell's Mr Mueller said, "Why should they get experience in something that's out of date? Like fixing a 1960s motorcar. There’s other jobs developing."


First IE event

The audience were asked in a survey how many Intelligent Energy conferences they had attended before.

Over half of the audience said that this was the first Intelligent Energy event which over half of the audience had attended. 17 per cent were at their second conference, 12 per cent were at their third, 2 per cent were at their fourth. There have been 5 Intelligent Energy events between 2006 and 2014 and a further event in Dubai last year. "

"Panorama Synergy has demonstrated the viability of its laser-based Optical Readout System, the LumiMEMS Reader.


In partnership with the University of Western Australia (UWA), Panorama Synergy has developed a patented optical reader for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) which enables the detection and measurement of previously undetectable substances.

As a result, the Company has commenced the development first generation systems for potential new end market applications.

All MEMS devices need a readout system to assess and communicate the data that is measured. Currently MEMS readers measure and communicate information electronically, which is subject to interference from electrical ‘noise’ from nearby devices and the environment. The only alternative technology, which is more sensitive and therefore more accurate, is an optical system using a laser directed at a MEMS sensor.

However, these are currently only able to operate in laboratories due to their size (similar to that of a washing machine), sensitivity to vibration, and the need to precisely align the laser with the tip of the tiny MEMS sensor. In addition, these readers can usually only measure one, or very few MEMS sensors at a time.

By contrast, Panorama’s LumiMEMS Reader is a portable and autonomous readout system which combines the accuracy and sensitivity of the optical reader with the size and portability of the electrically based system, without the shortcomings of interference from noise or vibration.

It is therefore able to be deployed in harsh environments such as down a drill hole or inside the cylinder shaft of a car engine, being much more heat resistant than an electrical system.

In addition, a chip that has several hundred MEMS sensors can be read simultaneously by one LumiMEMS Reader, therefore it is statistically more accurate than laboratory mounted optical systems.

The MEMS market is estimated to be $14 billion in 2014, growing to over $22 billion by 2018, a CAGR of 13% per annum. These estimates do not include the potential for opening new markets.

The LumiMEMS Reader is able to operate in air, water and other fluids or in a vacuum, therefore can be applied to bed side patient care, the detection of lung cancer, detecting peanuts in food, dangerous gases and other substances in mines, carbon monoxide inside a car or even schizophrenia from someone’s perspiration.

Panorama believes its LumiMEMS Reader is capable of becoming the new industry standard as the MEMS market continues to develop.

Terrence Walsh, Managing Director of Panorama Synergy said: “Our LumiMEMS Reader provides unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity and has a similar or even lower cost base to anything available in the market today.

"Therefore, as with the move from electrical to optical in the telecommunications world, we would anticipate the LumiMEMS Reader to become the de-facto readout system for the rapidly growing MEMS market.”

“Further, it creates the potential to open up a new wave of MEMS devices that can detect almost anything which is chemical or biological in nature. It has the potential to transform industry and everyday life as we know it,” he said.

Panorama anticipates that one of its initial first generation systems will be applicable to the mining sector, targeting improved exploration outcomes and safety. These systems are being developed in a prototype format with a view to being licenced or manufactured as end products. Test results are likely to be published as soon as the fourth quarter of the 2014 calendar year.

At the same time, Panorama has commenced early discussions with interested parties concerning specific requirements that the LumiMEMS reader may enable for the first time.

Research teams around the world continue to create new functionalization layers, coatings which are applied to MEMS sensors to determine which agent they are programmed to detect. Any substance that can have its functionalization material determined, can then be detected.

Panorama has numerous patents for its technology across Australia, US and Europe which provides it with commercial exclusivity to 2028. "

Celtic raises $2.000.000 for whiskey waste to fuels, signs pilot deal with Bio Base Europe - BD - Jun 25, 2014

- J. Lane -
www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/06/25/celtic-renewables-…

"Celtic Renewables, the Edinburgh-based biofuel company, has signed an agreement with Europe’s foremost biotechnology pilot facility to undergo next stage testing of its process to turn whisky by-products into biofuel that can power current vehicles.

The partnership, which will allow the company to develop its technology at Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP) in Ghent, has been made possible by second round funding worth £1.2million ($2M), including more than £800,000 from the UK Government, to help meet its ambition of growing a new £100 million-a-year industry in the UK.

Celtic Renewables, a spin-out company from the Biofuel Research Centre at Edinburgh Napier University, has already proved the concept of producing biobutanol from draff – the sugar-rich kernels of barley which are soaked in water to facilitate the fermentation process necessary for whisky production – and pot ale, the yeasty liquid that is heated during distillation.

It will spend the next few months seeking to replicate work done in its Scottish laboratory at an industrial scale.
It is the first company to trial biobutanol technology at the Belgian demonstrator pilot facility and also the first Scottish company to sign a partnership with BBEPP .

Established by the EU to enable the development of a sustainable biobased economy, BBEPP was established to support the advancement of sustainable biobased processes that cut reliance on non-replaceable fossil fuels.

Professor Martin Tangney, Founder and President of Celtic Renewables, said the latest developments demonstrated the commitment of government and industry partners to help it meet its ambition to become a groundbreaking company, based in Scotland, with global reach.
“Our ambition to grow a sustainable, international industry from Scotland requires strong partnerships and we are delighted to be working with BioBase Europe Pilot Plant, to help us complete the next, crucial stage in our development,” he said.

Professor Wim Soetaert, CEO of the BBEPP, said: “The transition from the current fossil-based economy towards a biobased economy is essential for industrial sustainability throughout Europe.

“Biobased production is already transforming a broad range of industries around the world and Celtic Renewables, making advanced biofuel and sustainable chemicals from whisky by-products, is exactly the kind of inspired innovation that our BBEPP is designed to support. In this regard the synergy of our partnership is perfect and we are really excited with this opportunity to work with such a forward-thinking company.”

It is anticipated that the work done by Celtic Renewables at the facility will facilitate the production of the world’s first industrial samples of biobutanol derived from whisky production residues, allowing it to be used as a direct replacement for petrol and diesel, without the need to modify engines.

The company plans to build its first commercial demonstration facility in Scotland and it is targeting a proposed £25million fund operated by the Department of Transport to help fund this.

Celtic Renewables recently gained second-round investment of £410,000 in private equity investment and it has been awarded funding worth more than £800,000 from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) at Westminster.

Professor Tangney added: “This partnership agreement has only been made possible by the immensely encouraging demonstration of continued support from our private investors and a hugely important grant from DECC.”

Michael Fallon, the UK Energy Minister, said: “This novel technology takes the by-products of Scotland’s finest export to power vehicles. DECC’s Energy Entrepreneurs Fund was designed to support small and medium-sized businesses like Celtic Renewables to develop state-of-the-art technologies, products and processes that will help us become more energy efficient. This is a prime example of how innovative technology can flourish with the right support.”

Maggie McGinlay, Director of Energy at Scottish Enterprise said: “The establishment of this European partnership is a significant milestone in the growth of Celtic Renewables. The rapid growth that this company has seen is testament to the value of commercializing the innovative technology coming out of the research base. We are particularly pleased to see a company that we have supported from the technology-development stage achieve such huge success in furthering the commercial product validation. We look forward to continuing our work with the company to realize its global ambitions.” "

Branson: "We're killing the world", Branson @BIO. Branson on bio. And some of Branson's bio. Sir Richard Branson joined BIO CEO Jim Greenwood on stage @the BIO International Convention for a talk on enterprises, the entrepreneurial spirit, +the role of biotech, in the face of climate - BD - Jun 25, 2014

- J. Lane -
www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/06/25/branson-were-killi…

"An observer of Sir Richard Branson over, say 20 years might have remarked how much older he looked this week, as the keynote speaker at the BIO convention this week in San Diego. He struggled for words at times, and visibly tired by the end of his hour on stage; but he had lost nothing of his charm, nor had he varied in his iconoclastic approach to building great enterprises or his views on technology in the face of climate change.

“We’re killing the world,” he remarked at the outset of his lengthy interview with BIO president and CEO Jim Greenwood. “Over the next 100 years we could do irreparable harm to the planet. But in this room are the people who can absolutely transform the world. We need scientists to come up with clean fuels, ideally not disrupting the food supply.”

As he has done elsewhere, he singled out LanzaTech for praise. “They take waste products from aluminium and steel mills, and it comes out as jet fuel. These are the kinds of fuels we need, or algae-based or isobutanol fuels. Biotech people are working on producing them in enough quantities, and I would urge as many companies as possible to work on those [kinds of technologies].”

“We’re going to run out of oil anyway, so why not have an alternative? Just as an insurance policy, if nothing else?”


The $25M Virgin Earth prize




On his $25 million Virgin Earth Prize, which would be awarded to the first technology that comes up with a feasible way to extract carbon from the atmosphere, he noted that “we’ve had 10,000 submissions, which we’ve whittled down to 12 really good ideas. The Prize is still out there, but I think it’s a prize that will ultimately be awarded.”

In tough times for raising capital for advancing early-stage enterprises, BIO CEO Jim Greenwood returned several times in the interview to Branson’s roots as an entrepreneur, and the founder of Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Mobile (among many other brands) obliged by recounting stories from the early days of building his airline.

“I find being Dr. Yes instead of Dr. No has been a lot more fun,” he noted. “It’s partly because of my inquisitiveness that we have gone into so many areas. When I was 27, I was taking a trip to the British Virgin Islands to see a very beautiful woman, and while I was waiting to board the plane, American Airlines decided they hadn’t sold enough tickets or something and they cancelled the flight, but I very much wanted to see the lady.

“So I went over to another counter and rented a plane, then made up a fancy name like Virgin Airlines and on a bit of blackboard I wrote out a price of $29 one-way, and went around to everyone like me who had been cancelled out. And filled my first plane. And the woman in question and I just celebrated our wedding anniversary, more than 30 years later.”


Branson on innovation

“No point to a company if you’re not going to innovate,” he observed. “It can be be little things or big things. For example, a lot of people wondered how someone from the entertainment industry could start an airline, but I knew from that industry that people want to be entertained. And I was determined that we would have seat-back video before anyone else. At the time, [to outfit our fleet] cost $10 million, and I could not get anyone to lend the money. No one.”

“I kept thinking to myself, where am I going to get 10 million before British Airways beats us to it? So I rang up Boeing, and I asked them, “‘If I buy 10 new 747s, would you include seat-back video?’ And they said they would be happy to. And It was far easier to find those wiling to lend $3 billion for the planes than the $10 million for seat-back video.”


Branson on management

His advice on management was straightforward. “Find someone as quickly as possible who can run the business for you; it will free you up to have a life and do other things, such as spending time with your family.” His ideal leader? “A great listener. There’s nothing worse than someone who talks all the time.”

3 words of advice? “Protect the downside. When I bought my first second-hand 747 from Boeing, I had an agreement that I could hand the plane back after 12 months, if things did not work out. If they did, I would buy a lot more planes from them. And they were very good about that. But the worst case, I thought it would cost us 6 months of our record business profits.”


Branson on entrepreneurship, and space exploration

His advice to entrepreneurs: really understand what people want, and have a passion for the product or service, rather than a passion for making money. He went into some detail about his upcoming Virgin Galactic space passenger enterprise.

“We’ve been fifty years in space and only about 500 people have ever gone there, and it’s clear that the governments in the US, Russia and China are not interested in taking ordinary people there. How many of you would like to go into space?” he asked the audience.

More than 1,000 raised their hands. “You see, there’s more than the 500 who’ve gone into space, who would like to go themselves, just in this room.”

“The problem is that something like 3% of people who have gone into space have lost their lives during re-entry. That’s unacceptable. So, Burt Rutan has come up with an innovative approach to re-entry, sort of like the flight of a shuttlecock where the angle of entry doesn’t matter so much.”

“I’ve had some great adventures in m lifetime and space will be the greatest. Im going. I hope you can join me.” "

China 'is taking lunar mining seriously ', China' " "wants" astronauts on the moon early '20s. Filling one shuttle's cargo bay with helium-3 "could" bring the equivalent energy of 1.000.000.000 barrels of oil back to earth"
http://thediplomat.com/2014/06/moon-power-chinas-pursuit-of-…
www.mining.com/china-is-taking-lunar-mining-seriously-65595/…

"


In 2009 NASA launched the first lunar mining competition called The Lunabotics Mining Competition (now simply called the Robotic Mining Competition) that aims to generate "innovative ideas and solutions, which could be applied to actual lunar excavation for NASA."

Google is also sponsoring a moon-related prize, the Lunar X-prize, a $40 million competition to encourage privately funded teams to launch "land a robot safely on the moon, move 500 meters on, above, or below the moon’s surface and send back HDTV Mooncasts for everyone to enjoy!"

Newt Gingrich, presidential aspirant in the 2012 Republican contest, wanted to see a permanent moon base established by the second term of his presidency that could be used for space tourism and mining ventures. Gingrich was widely mocked for his grand plan and former space executives criticized the policy, choosing to endorse Mitt Romney.

The moon is rich in rare earths, titanium and could support mining with recent evidence of the existence of water, the big prize when excavating the moon is helium-3.

Almost non-existent on earth, helium-3 is abundant and accessible on the moon and could be used in nuclear fusion, producing much more energy than fission reactions and with much less radioactive waste.

While the USA dabbles with the idea of lunar mining and both India and Russia have in the past floated ideas, China is the only power pushing ahead with an actual program.

Writing in The Diplomat Fabrizio Bozzato, a PhD Candidate at the Graduate Institute of International Affairs and Strategic Studies at the Tamkang University in Taiwan, intriguingly argues China's program to land on the moon within a decade could be a game-changer:

It does, however, exist on the moon. Lacking an atmosphere, the moon has been bombarded for billions of years by solar winds carrying helium-3. As a result, the dust of the lunar surface is saturated with the gas. It has been calculated that there are about 1,100,000 metric tons of helium-3 on the lunar surface down to a depth of a few meters, and that about 40 tons of helium-3 – enough to fill the cargo bays of two space shuttles –could power the U.S. for a year at the current rate of energy consumption. Given the estimated potential energy of a ton of helium-3 (the equivalent of about 50 million barrels of crude oil), helium-3 fuelled fusion could significantly decrease the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, and increase mankind’s productivity by orders of magnitude.

However, supplying the planet with fusion power for centuries requires that we first return to the moon. At present, only China has this in mind, with its Chang’e program, a lunar exploration program that will send astronauts to the moon by the early 2020s. If Beijing wins the second “race for the moon,” and establishes a sustained human outpost conducting helium-3 mining operations, it would establish the same kind of monopoly that in the past created the fortunes of ventures like the East India Company. The ramifications would be significant, to say the least.

First, “China is what international relations scholars call a ‘revisionist power,’ seeking opportunities to assert its enhanced relative position in international affairs,” according to Foreign Policy. Establishing an automated or manned helium-3 operation on the moon would be a spectacular assertion. Second, with the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels on Earth, China would be in a position to gradually build a helium-3 empire in which it would control the supply of the lunar gas. The rise of such an empire would most likely be met with resistance. The prospect of China’s energy supremacy would probably lead to pervasive geopolitical influence, cause geopolitical tension and anti-Chinese alliances to coalesce, and prompt other countries – particularly the U.S. – to hasten to the moon to break the dragon’s monopoly.

Portuguese bank collapse "casts doubt, on eurozone stability"
www.stockhouse.com/news/newswire/2014/08/04/portuguese-bank-…

"LISBON, Portugal _ A new Portuguese bank appeared Monday, born from the ruins of a collapsed business empire, and declared on its website that it was now ``stronger and safer.''

Investors rattled by the eurozone's latest financial drama will, however, need more reassurances.

Portugal's biggest banking scandal, which compelled authorities Sunday to put up 4.9 billion euros ($6.6 billion) to prevent the collapse of ailing Banco Espirito Santo, raised questions about how regulators were apparently hoodwinked. It will also focus minds on the European Union's year-long health check on the banking sector, whose results are due in October.

The debt crisis that in recent years battered countries sharing the euro currency, forcing countries such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal to request bailouts, has ebbed in recent months. Investors remain wary, though. They fear more nasty surprises could be around the corner, and the scandal surrounding Banco Espirito Santo's huge unreported debts is fueling those concerns.

Barclays analysts predicted investors will ``remain guarded about risks which could stem from latent problems in the (Portuguese) financial system.'' Lisbon's difficulties demonstrated ``the major surgery that Europe still has to undergo with respect to its economic and banking problems,'' said a note from CMC Markets UK.

The European Central Bank, the eurozone's main regulator, is currently examining the books of more than 100 of the bloc's top banks. The goal is to weed out the lame ones, helping ensure financial markets have faith in the banking system. The Banco Espirito Santo case could undermine that effort.

Portuguese authorities sought late Sunday to extinguish the Espirito Santo wildfire by splitting it into two banks: a new one, called Novo Banco, which keeps the company's healthy businesses and will later be sold, and a so-called ``bad bank'' that will hold toxic assets and retain the Banco Espirito Santo name. The bad bank will be put into liquidation, meaning it will cease to exist once the bad investments are dealt with.

Officials had last month attempted to halt the bank's collapsing share price by insisting the bank had sound finances and that private investors were ready to take it over. That was until the true picture emerged last week: the bank reported a record half-year loss of 3.58 billion euros, trading in its shares was suspended, and the Espirito Santo family's three main holding companies asked for bankruptcy protection.

Bank of Portugal governor Carlos Costa conceded in a televised statement close to midnight Sunday that officials had been duped by a type of Ponzi scheme whereby cash and debts were shifted around the Espirito Santo family's tourism-to-health care business empire on four continents.

Costa said the bank's activities ``were in clear violation of Bank of Portugal rules'' and used ``fraudulent schemes.'' Police suspect former Chief Executive Ricardo Espirito Santo Salgado, who stepped down last month, of fraud, forgery and money-laundering at the bank, whose business dates from the 19th century and has been one of Portugal's most venerable financial institutions, as well as for years its biggest private bank.

``International experience shows that schemes of this kind are very hard to detect before they collapse, especially when it takes place in different countries,'' Costa said.

Just as worryingly, Costa said an audit by the central bank of Banco Espirito Santo had detected problems 11 months ago. He said the central bank had attempted to ring-fence the problems, without elaborating.

It remains unclear why action to shore up the bank was not taken back then. Some Portuguese politicians are demanding an inquiry into how Banco Espirito Santo slipped through the net of supervision. Costa did not take reporters' questions after his statement.

European stress tests of banks in 2009, 2010 and 2011 _ conducted not by the ECB but another EU office with fewer powers _ fell short of convincing markets. Some banks passed the tests on paper but needed bailouts soon afterward. Banco Espirito Santo passed them all and was the only major Portuguese bank to not require any public aid during the country's bailout program.

Simon O'Connor, a spokesman for the EU's economic and monetary affairs commissioner, argued that Banco Espirito Santo was a special case. Its woes shouldn't be taken as a sign of systemic weakness, neither for the eurozone as a whole nor for Portugal, he said.

The rescue money will come from a special fund set up during the eurozone crisis and designed to help financial institutions in difficulty. That means Portugal doesn't have to raise new taxes to get the money or apply for more help from the EU.

Shareholders and junior bondholders, including some major companies such as Portugal Telecom which held the bank's commercial paper, will bear the brunt of the losses. The cash injection is a loan and will be repaid with interest, with no cost to taxpayers, Costa said.

Still, almost 5 billion euros is a big number in Portugal, one of the eurozone's smaller economies. The aid is roughly equivalent to the annual budget for the country's schools and universities.

Liquid organic hydrogen carrier(LOHC) technology is "seen as the 'probable code cracker' for the entry of efficient, versatile +scaleable hydrogen fuel cells that will ensure the new generation of clean, reliable +cost-effective power, that the world is crying out for - WM/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Aug 4, 2014

"A breakthrough that gives stored hydrogen diesel-like characteristics for safe and efficient long-term energy storage, is rekindling excitement that the introduction of new clean energy from platinum-based hydrogen fuel cells may be close at hand.

Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology is seen as the probable code cracker for the entry of efficient, versatile and scaleable hydrogen fuel cells that will ensure the new generation of clean, reliable and cost-effective power that the world is crying out for.


Owing to its diesel-like nature, LOHC can be transported and distributed in the existing infrastructure for oil-based fuels.

JSE-listed Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) announced on Monday that it had fully funded Hydrogenious Technologies’ first financing round after earlier this year committing $100-million to support early-stage industrial applications that enable the use of platinum-group metals (PGMs).


“This technology may be the long-awaited solution to efficient, safe and cost-effective hydrogen storage,” Amplats executive marketing head Andrew Hinkly said.

Amplats’ mines could be ideal users of the LOHC-based off-grid energy solutions, Bryanston Resources director Fabian Kröher said.


Amplats PGM Development Fund – a private equity fund managed by Douglas Investments and advised by co-investor Bryanston Resources – has already provided seed capital for greater PGM offtake to Primus Power of the US, which has a PGM-using flow battery that offers value at many locations on electrical power grids.

Co-investment has boosted Amplats' current $30-million on offer as a result of Bryanston Resources chipping a further $20-million into the fund, giving it considerable firepower.

Hydrogenious Technologies CEO Daniel Teichmann said the Amplats investment would enable his company to get its products out into the market.

“This really gives us an ideal starting position to make our business successful,” Teichmann added.

On the latest breakthrough, Hinkly said it could lead to the use of hydrogen as a mass-fuelling solution.

“Our interest in the success of platinum-based fuel cells for stationary and longer-term mobile applications could be well served through this type of hydrogen infrastructure solution,” Hinkly added to Mining Weekly Online

Hydrogenious Technologies – the high-tech spin-off from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, which also holds a stake in the company – will use the new funding to support its ‘HydroStore’ energy storage system to full commercial product stage.

The technology is focused on the safe storage of hydrogen, a frequent energy storage medium.

While existing technologies store hydrogen either under extremely high pressures of up to 700 bar, or in liquid form at –253 °C, this technology binds the hydrogen molecules to LOHCs, which facilitate safe, easy-to-handle, high-density energy storage at ambient conditions, addressing the existing challenges associated with storing gaseous hydrogen.

HydroStore, which stores energy generated from renewables in a power-to-power storage regime, offers flexibility to decouple input and output power from the storage capacity, making it a widely applicable energy storage system, which contributes to electricity grid stabilisation and grid independence.

The breakthrough technology has been developed and optimised by Teichmann and the university’s professors Peter Wasserscheid, Wolfgang Arlt and Eberhard Schlücker, together with their research teams at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.

Fundamental aspects of the technology have been developed at the Bavarian Hydrogen Centre, a cross-institutional research platform focusing on the development of a sustainable hydrogen economy and within the framework of the Erlangen Excellence Cluster ‘Engineering of Advanced Materials’.

Hydrogenious Technology will continue its close research co-operation with the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg to ensure technological leadership in LOHC energy storage.

The collaboration is underlined by a fully fledged prototype of the LOHC energy storage system, currently being installed by the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

Initially set up in 2009 to stimulate new PGM-using businesses in South Africa, Amplats' PGM Development Fund has since realised the worth of stimulating international market demand, specifically in the industrial sector, where it provides start-up capital for investments in new PGM-using or PGM-enabling technology businesses.

Lesser known iridium and ruthenium PGM metals are used in the Primus products, which are able to store electricity from utilities like Eskom during non-peak periods, for use during peak periods, as well as store renewable energy, for example sun energy while the sun is shining, for use after dark.

Investing in the development of PGM markets is critical in ensuring sustainability of the South African platinum industry and supporting the green economy of tomorrow, to which PGMs are indispensable.

All investments are carefully structured with milestones met before funding is provided.

The Primus range has universal application but there is a need for it to come down the cost curve.

Other current investments have been in the Vancouver-based fuel-cell company Ballard Technologies and the US-based stationary fuel-cell company Altergy Systems, which supplies telecommunications back-up systems.

Amplats is working closely with Ballard on stationary power for rural off-grid areas and a 34-household farming community near the Free State town of Kroonstad, which has created South Africa’s first mini-grid application.

Protea Chemicals – which already supplies methanol to telecommunications back-ups and is well versed in fuelling safety and logistics – will be the methanol supplier.

Amplats has co-invested with South Africa’s Science and Technology Department in the South African fuel-cell company Clean Energy Investments, which has a distribution agreement with Altergy for the telecommunications back-up sector.

Some 800 platinum-using fuel-cell installations are already up and running in South Africa and Amplats envisages local fuel-cell manufacture once there is sufficient offtake.

A barrier to fuel-cell use in South Africa, however, is the lack of fuelling infrastructure and fuel-cell companies are partnering with fuel providers so that fuel cells can be marketed with pre-priced fuelling support.

In transport, Amplats’ London office has a four-year lease on a fuel-cell car as part of London’s hydrogen-network initiative, in which Hyundai is supplying fuel-cell-driven cars to several UK companies as a testing exercise, which also involves the building of additional hydrogen stations in London.

Amplats has gone the hydrogen route in developing fuel-cell-powered locomotive and dozer prototypes for its own mining operations, where underground hydrogen-fuelling bays may one day replace the current battery bays.

A new building at the top of the University of Cape Town’s (UCT's) upper campus forms the backdrop to the Hydrogen South Africa (HySA) Catalysis Centre of Competence, part of the South African government’s programme in hydrogen and fuel cells.

When the fuel-cell technology industry takes off, it is expected to be a multibillion-dollar market.

UCT Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment and Mintek, the national research and development organisation for mineral processing, co-host HySA, which hopes to capture 25% of the global fuel-cell and hydrogen catalyst market by 2020.

While many countries and academic programmes have their eye on capitalising on this market, they do not have the advantage that South Africa has of hosting the lion's share of global PGMs.

Fuel cells, which provide environmentally clean and extremely reliable power that can be used in many ways, are currently being implemented in the automotive industry by Toyota and Hyundai to produce commercial vehicles, but the cost for these models is still quite high and needs to come down.

It is seen as imperative that South Africa is ready to enter the market at the same time as the rest of the world, which was why the South African government launched its 15-year plan in 2008.

In a separate initiative, Amplats has appointed Rand Refinery to administer its platinum metal financing scheme that provides access to affordable metal financing for local manufacturers, which includes support for local jewellery training institutions. "

Zitat von Popeye82: New AngloGold technology "safely mines ‘all gold, only gold, all the time’"; Interest in AngloGold Ashanti’s "new “game-changing” technology", which safely mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time”, is now being shown by the company’s gold-mining +platinum-mining peers, the company’s new CEO Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan(Venkat) said on Wednesday. “There’s no drill +blast. Effectively it removes the seismic impact, brings a safe working environment, eliminates dilution +brings all of the gold out,” Venkat told Mining Weekly Online, in a video interview(see attached) - MW, JOHANNESBURG - Aug 7, 2013

New blasting, smelting methods available, to boost platinum –Robinson[Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 23, 2014

- M. Creamer, Dr RE Robin Robinson -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-blasting-smelting-methods-a…

"The introduction of new methods of blasting and smelting have the potential to boost platinum mining significantly, says research commentator Dr R E (Robbie) Robinson.

Robinson tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview that the introduction of selected blast mining (SBM) in platinum mining, as with narrow-reef gold mining, requires negligible change to become operative.

The one-time National Institute for Metallurgy, now Mintek, director says it has the potential to boost the economic viability of narrow-reef platinum mining dramatically in the short term.

SBM involves fracturing rock in such a way that the reef remains intact.

Broadly speaking, the valuable platinum will represent a third of the rock that is currently brought to surface and the rest of the non-platinum-bearing rock that has to be blasted to open up space to work will remain underground to backfill the stopes.

The current method of blasting, which scatters the finely divided platinum far and wide, lowers the rate of platinum recovery significantly.

“We need to use blasting techniques that shock fracture the rock rather than throw it around in big high energy explosions.

Replacing costly smelting with a hydrometallurgical process – known as the Kell process – is the second change he advocates to boost platinum mining.

This process avoids having to separate the chromite from the platinum and, together with SBM, would offer a rate of platinum recovery of well over 90% , instead of the current 65% .

Kell, developed by Keith Liddell, consumes only 14% of the electricity that smelting consumes – 140 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate processed compared with 1 000 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate smelted.

There is also no milling with Kell, which is said to emits only 440 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) for every ton of concentrate treated, compared with the milling and smelting of a ton of concentrate to matte and base metal refining producing 1 400 kg of CO2/t of concentrate treated.


SHOCK WAVE BLASTING

Shock wave blasting, which involves the use of explosives with high detonation velocity and a sudden evolution of gas, sends shock waves that cause rock fracture and keeps precious-metal reef relatively coherent.

“With shock tube and delayed detonation you can do this blasting very satisfactorily without any difficulty whatsoever, and then the shock wave would be automatically transmitted into the reef

“Any decent manufacturer of detonators and explosives would be able to manage this with ease,” says Robinson, who, after retiring in 1990, formed AC Mining Consulting Services, which worked intensively on SBM.

Robinson believes that SBM can serve as a quick, interim solution ahead of the introduction of AngloGold Ashanti’s so-called South African technology, involving automated raise boring and facilitating narrow-reef mining at ultra depth.

Equipment for AngloGold’s “game-changing” technology, which mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”, is under construction, with the first machines scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2014.

Figuratively speaking, Robinson is “pretty sure” that SBM could be introduced “tomorrow ". "

New mechanisation achieving more success – AngloGold - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 19, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/exciting-new-gold-mechanisation…

"The demonstrably successful new AngloGold Ashanti gold-mining technology has produced 40 kg of gold from ore with enormously valuable gold grades of more than 200 g of gold for every ton mined.

The South African Technology, as it has been called, has so far mined only in no-go areas, which have been bypassed for conventional mining on the grounds of being excessively hazardous.

Revealing this after presenting a magnificent set of results with every metric excelling with the exception of the lagging gold price, AngloGold Ashanti CEO Srinivasan (Venkat) Venkatakrishnan told Mining Weekly Online that the company was now rolling out the technology on five sites using locally produced raise-boring equipment (also see attached video).

“We continue to invest in the South African technology piece,” he said, describing it as the “single key we have to improve productivity, which is the answer to a number of issues within the South African mining industry”.

The key breakthroughs the company has achieved as it completes its eighteenth drill hole at Tau Tona gold mine are slashed drilling times, backfill technology beyond the trial stage and a drilling mechanism that crushes the core to paste for easier processing.

Drilling times that used to take 30 days are now taking 3.5 days, with 2 days the new target.

“The new machines we are manufacturing are doing a very good job,” Venkat told Mining Weekly Online, adding that a significant breakthrough had been achieved with adjacent drilling.

A second production site is being built at Tau Tona, with other sites going up at Kopanang, Great Noligwa and Moab Khotsong.

The machines are being made to drill even the narrowest of reefs and can also be used in hard-rock, narrow-reef platinum mines.

AngloGold executive VP South Africa region Mike O’Hare said the new reamer being used in the potentially “game-changing” mechanisation drive was enabling the company to complete a hole far faster.

All the ore has been extracted from adjacent holes – “skin-to skin” – with negligible deviation.

“We plan to ramp this up quite significantly over the year,” O’Hare said.

The average grade in the holes drilled is an enormous 90 g/t, with one hole coming back at more than 200 g/t.

“Just in the research and development phase, we’ve managed to mine over 40 kg of gold and we want to quadruple that number in 2014,” he added.

AngloGold Ashanti reported low all-in sustaining costs in 2013 and a yearly production that rose for the first time in almost a decade , after it successfully cut spending and commissioned two new mines.

The JSE- and NYSE-listed gold company took yearly output to 4.105-million ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1 015/oz.

Despite free cash outflow reducing from $205-million to $82-million, after all capital, tax and interest payments, the AngloGold board decided against a dividend declaration.

“It would not be a smart move at this time to borrow money from the banks to pay dividends,” the AngloGold CEO commented to Mining Weekly Online.

The new Tropicana mine, in Australia and Kibali mine, in the Democratic Republic of Congo added 106 000 oz to the AngloGold total at a low average cash cost of $532/oz.

Sold off is the small Navachab mine, in Namibia, and closed is the under-performing Yatela mine, in Mali.

The current worst-performing mine, Obuasi, in Ghana, is undergoing reform, which will include an element of mechanisation.

Projected 2014 production is expected to be from 4.2-million ounces to 4.5-million ounces.

The capital expenditure outlook for 2014 is a decline of 31% to between $1.3-billion and $1.45-billion.

In 2013, strong quarter-four (Q4) production of 1 229 000 oz rose 43% on Q4 2012 and 18% on the previous quarter.

Net debt to earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation fell to 1.86 times, down from 2.02 times in Q3.

Adjusted headline earnings leapt 49% to $164-million and the all-injury frequency rate was the lowest ever at 7.33 for every million hours worked for the year.

Corporate and exploration costs fell 20% in Q4 from the previous quarter. "

AngloGold Ashanti's cost cutting measures 'on track' -Ehm; Dual-listed gold miner AngloGold Ashanti was progressing its cost-cutting strategy, executive VP Graham Ehm told delegates @the Diggers & Dealers conference, in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, on Tuesday. Ehm noted that during the 1st quarter of '14, the company had reduced its all-in-sustaining costs by 22%, compared with the previous corresponding period, while capital expenditure was expected to fall by 31% year-on-year in '14 - MW/CMR, KALGOORLIE - Aug 5, 2014

"Disruption Is On its Way To Solar Panel Manufacturing: A Case Study of Aurora Control Technologies" - DI - Jul 30, 2014

Introduction

After a recent slump, solar power has shown tremendous growth. Global photovoltaic (PV) capacity is 139 Gigawatts (GW) as of the end of 2013 and another 44.5 GW is forecast to be added in 2014. One GW is enough electricity to power between 750,000 and 1,000,000 US homes. The 44.5 GW mentioned above is almost a 21% increase y-o-y and equals the output of 10 nuclear reactors, according to Bloomberg. The chart below from the EPIA, shows the dramatic rise in PV capacity.




Overcapacity has resulted from government subsidies and has served to push panel prices down, helping to make solar more cost competitive with other fossil-fuel based sources of electricity. Dozens of panel makers still exist which implies further consolidation in the industry despite the projections mentioned above.

We are focused on finding value along supply chains across an entire industry and to that end the solar panel manufacturing business offers an interesting case study in finding value in a global “low growth” or “slow growth” environment. One of the key questions for market participants is “how will a panel manufacturer compete and thrive in a hyper competitive industry despite the rosy growth prospects?” Price declines and competition will hurt margins which in turn have the potential to impact investment returns.

The key is solar cell efficiency. Cell efficiency is defined as the ratio of energy output of the solar cell to input energy from the sun. In mathematical terms:




For utilities, commercial enterprises, or consumers to continue to adopt solar as a long-term source of electricity, it must be competitive with existing sources and over the longer-term, save money. One way to drive cost competitiveness is for panel manufacturers to focus on efficiencies in the panel production process. In conducting research for this case study, it became clear that cell efficiencies in solar panels can vary widely. There are several reasons for this. These include cell design, off-spec production, and impurities.
Offering a product which can monitor each step of the cell production process can help panel manufacturer’s margin expansion and drive closer to the overall levellized cost of electricity (LCOE). This is the “holy grail” in making solar power ubiquitous.

The LCOE is used as a tool used to define the relative cost of electricity generated from different sources regardless of project scale or timeframe. Another way to think about this is the total project cost divided by the energy generated.[1]

As believers in the need for ongoing disruption in industries in an era of excess labor and capital, the solar panel sector is not immune. Many panel manufacturers such as Yingli Solar (YGE:NYSE) realize this and utilize their own internal R&D centers to try and increase cell efficiency. Efficiencies can vary from 14% to 16% and higher for crystalline silicon cells, but this comes at a cost. Again, cost is key. The chart below from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) shows a brief history of the drive to increase cell efficiency and the various solar technologies which I discuss further on in this case study.




As you can see, technology has taken the industry from lower left to upper right (higher efficiency).

Aurora Control Technologies (ACU:TSXV; AACTF:OTCBB) management has indicated that a .2% increase in cell efficiency can add $1M to a panel manufacturer’s bottom line profit (producing 15MW of cells). With over 550 panel “fab” lines in existence today, this can dramatically lower the payback period of the investment in products and increase the NPV. It aids in efficiency and gives a panel manufacturer an immediate “leg up” on its competitors.

ACU, based in Vancouver, BC, offers a solution which can help solar panel manufacturers survive and ostensibly grow margins in an increasingly tough, but growing, business. The key is their product offering which aims to increase a manufacturer’s ROI by monitoring cell efficiency during the cell manufacturing process rather than after the cell is produced. The remainder of this report serves as a case study in how ACU is attempting to disrupt the solar panel manufacturing sector to the benefit of all stakeholders.


Solar Manufacturing Backgrounder

I recently wrote a note on solar growth which you can read here. What is more important in this case study is a basic understanding of how solar powered electricity is created and the solar panel manufacturing process.
Solar cells used in photovoltaics can be grouped into two categories: crystalline silicon (c-Si) and thin film products. C-Si products currently comprise 85% of the overall market and are where ACU is focusing its efforts. C-Si production involves multiple processes for ingot, wafer, cell and module manufacturing and historically has yielded numerous products.

One reason for this is that c-Si cells have demonstrated solid efficiencies (between 15–22 percent). Greater efficiencies can be had, but again, this is currently not commercially cost competitive. Each c-Si cell generates a small amount of electricity (up to 0.5V), so to achieve a significant amount of output power, a soldering process is undertaken to combine multiple cells. A schematic of the typical solar cell fabrication line is shown below.




Thin film solar cells typically use amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or copper indium (gallium) diselenide (CIS or CIGS)) in the manufacturing process. The cell efficiency with thin film is typically lower than with c-Si (around 5 to 12 percent) but is a potentially cheaper solution due to lower raw materials costs and larger surface area (also known as substrate size).

A detailed description of the c-Si production process from the ACU website:


“A c-Si cell manufacturing plant starts with a purified silicon wafer, doped with boron, as raw material. It takes each wafer through a processing sequence to create working solar cells.

The wafers are first passed through steps to remove surface and edge irregularities, clean the wafers and produce a uniform non-reflective texture on the surface. The surface of each wafer is then exposed to a phosphorous mist/gas and the wafers are heated in a furnace to cause the phosphorus atoms to be diffused into the crystalline silicon. This forms the solid-state chemistry in the wafer that allows it to generate electricity when exposed to light. A by-product of the diffusion process is the creation of a phospho-silicate glass (PSG) layer on the surface that must be removed in an etching bath. The next step is to create an antireflective coating on the wafers consisting of a transparent layer of Silicon Nitride or one of a number of compounds known as “Transparent Conductive Oxides”, which aid light capture by reducing reflections and quelling certain surface electrical activity. The final steps of the process is the printing process where electrode grids made from silver paste are screen printed onto the top of the cell and two contact strips are applied to the back of the wafer (a strip of silver and a layer of aluminum) to produce the back surface field. The printed wafer goes into a ~900ºC furnace to cause the printed layer to sink into the silicon wafer. A procedure to prevent short-circuiting of the cell (called “edge isolation”) will also be performed by one of a variety of methods by completion of this step. The finished cells are tested by exposing them to a bright light source and sorted into grades.”


The end result is a solar cell which is soldered into a panel and ultimately into an array. A crude demonstration of solar electricity generation is shown below:




ACU Background

Aurora Control Technologies Inc. was founded in 2009 and is based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The mission of the company is to “develop, manufacture and market production measurement and control systems to the solar wafer, cell and panel manufacturing industry.” It is these products which ACU will sell to panel manufacturers to address the issue of cell efficiency. As I said above, slight increases in cell efficiency (roughly .2%) can yield significant savings to panel manufacturers (up to $1 million per fabrication line). With the typical solar panel manufacturer running multiple lines simultaneously, these savings can add up quickly and help increase margins in an increasingly fierce business and pricing environment.


Management Overview

ACU was founded by Michael Heaven (Chairman), Gordon Deans (CEO), and Steve Blaine all of whom have extensive backgrounds in process engineering and control and measurement systems. The template for ACU going forward can be traced to a company called Measurex which was acquired by Honeywell in 1997 for $600 million in cash. Measurex developed a unique in line processing technology to increase efficiencies in the paper and pulp industries. Michael Heaven has direct experience with Measurex having worked for the company as a Vice President of Engineering. Additionally, Gregory Ayres, COO of ACU served as an executive at Measurex for 12 years. Complete Management bios can be found in the Appendix.


ACU’s Products

A unique attribute of ACU’s offering is that it provides real-time measurement of cell manufacturing and allows a customer the ability to “fine tune” a cell manufacturing line on the go. This is in stark contrast to only gauging a cell’s efficiency during the post-production phase. If a cell’s efficiency is sub optimal, the cell can be wasted, harming profitability. ACU’s performance benchmarking will aid in minimizing waste. ACU’s primary products are the Decima CD in line measurement system and the Aurora PMC production controller.




The Decima CD (above) is installed throughout a cell production line at multiple points to monitor the production process and the Aurora PMC (below) serves as the control software which is networked to all Decima CDs.





The Decima CD is also scalable, so regardless of the size or number of fabrication lines, economics can be maintained and enhanced as the number of fabrication lines increases. While there are companies which measure certain aspects of the solar panel fabrication process, I was unable to find any direct competitors to ACU’s business model in my research for this case study. This first mover advantage can serve ACU well. As the company leverages the Decima CD technology, ACU can help a growing customer list increase its cell efficiencies, outmaneuvering their competition.

ACU has patents pending on their technology (PCT/CA2011/000508: “Non-Contact Measurement of Semiconductor Layer Doping Density” and PCT/CA2010/000772: “Process for Improving the Production of Photovoltaic Products”).


Partners

Perhaps the optimal strategy to sell your product is having customers demonstrate its efficacy to the marketplace rather than yourself. ACU has undertaken this strategy by aligning itself with top tier solar research facilities and solar cell manufacturers in various, and strategic parts of the world.

From a research perspective, in 2012 ACU partnered with the International Solar Energy Research Center Konstanz (ISC Konstanz) in Germany. This research center is ranked as one of the top research institutes globally for crystalline silicon solar cell research. The goal at the time was to validate ACU’s Decima CD technology as well as jointly research other potential end uses. Importantly, ACU retains full ownership and control of the information generated under the agreement. This relationship is significant for a number of reasons but the fact that both ISC Konstanz and ACU share the same goal of increasing cell efficiency is paramount among them.

In 2013, ACU negotiated agreements with SIBCO BV to develop, market and install ACU products in China and Jonas and Redmann LLC who agreed to integrate the Decima CD technology into their PV wafer and cell production value chains. Earlier this year, ACU shipped a Decima CD and Aurora PMC module to SIBCO for demonstration and product evaluation purposes by cell manufacturers in China.

Also in 2013 Hanwha Q Cells qualified ACU’s Decima CD for use in Q Cells solar cell manufacturing facilities. Hanwha Q Cells is a global leader in PV technology. The company also installed a Decima system in their production facility in Germany.

Momentum has continued into 2014 with ACU appointing Hauman Technologies Corporation, a supplier to major PV manufacturers, as its market partner for Taiwan. Founded in 1979, Hauman will introduce the Decima CD and Aurora PMC to selected lead users in the Taiwanese market for evaluation and then leverage these relationships to enhance more widespread adoption.

Also in February 2014 the Company received a purchase order from TetraSun, Inc. (acquired by First Solar (FSLR:NASDAQ) in 2013) for its Decima CD inline measurement system, with an option for follow-on orders. This is highly significant as First Solar is one of the largest PV panel producers in the world with a market capitalization of $6.55 billion. More significantly, FSLR is also among the leaders globally in cell efficiency with a goal of commercializing a cell at 20%, well above the typical 15% commercially prevalent today. FSLR has also committed to invest $100 million in the Japanese solar rooftop market – a key growth area. The plan is to utilize the Decima CD in commercial production of TetraSun’s products and generate cost savings and revenue increases by utilizing ACU’s technology.

ACU continues to enhance relationships like those mentioned above with profitability as the end goal. As we discuss below, this is already beginning to have an effect.


Potential and Economics

Though the solar panel manufacturing business has been around for decades, ACU appears to be entering the industry at a time when consolidation is likely amongst participants despite the clear positive growth trajectory. This is a fiercely competitive business with many participants. The NYSE Bloomberg Global Solar Energy Index has 128 constituents (though not all of these are panel manufacturers) and the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN:NYSE) (one of the most popular ETFs on the market) has 26 with a greater percentage of panel manufacturers included. Please see the Appendix for the constituents and performance.

Below are some select recent financial metrics from the NYSE Bloomberg Global Solar Index demonstrating improving economics with respect to margins and returns from 2012 looking forward:




The gradual improvements we see here bode well for the industry, but for this improvement to be sustainable, efficiency gains are paramount and this is the niche ACU aims to fill. More evidence is shown below with historic and forecast PV manufacturer revenue growth:




ACU aims to sell their products and services to multiple cell manufacturers for use on multiple fabrication lines within each company. It is not at all rare for a cell manufacturer to be running up to 10 lines or more at any given time and ACU will offer a solution for each line, negotiating a master purchase agreement to achieve this. With approximately over 550 cell fabrication lines in existence today with more planned, ACU is poised to grow along with the overall market.

Prices for ACU’s services are to be negotiated, but with Bloomberg recently reporting that solar capital expenditures will reach $3 billion in 2014, there appears to be ample opportunity for ACU. ACU will offer a solution which is a minimal cost relative to larger capital expenses with a fast payback (perhaps one year depending upon the size of the cell fabrication line).

Based on the partnerships discussed above, ACU has already started to record revenues. Thus far in 2014, ACU recorded a sale of US $98,000 to TetraSun for a Decima CD system and recorded a sale of US $54,000 to a company in Taiwan for a Decima CD system. These are small but significant steps towards profitability.


SWOT Analysis

Though a SWOT analysis for any early stage company is presumably slanted towards the weaknesses or threats, a balanced appraisal of both the pros and cons is necessary. Realizing and critiquing the opportunities and the company management’s ability to capitalize on them is vital.

Strengths – As costs to produce PV cells continue to fall, solar energy should continue to become a growing percentage of the overall electricity demand “pie”.

ACU’s technology and how they plan to apply it is unique within the PV industry. This “first mover” advantage should help ACU as it ramps up its sales.

The ability to use Measurex as a model for growth, not to mention ACU Management’s direct experience with the growth and eventual sale of Measurex to Honeywell, is a valuable guide.

ACU has a sound capital structure with no debt and a low share count – crucial for an early stage company.

The business model is scalable as technology can be deployed across multiple cell fabrication lines simultaneously.

Weaknesses – There is a lack of liquidity in the stock with the 30 day average daily volume (ADV) at 12,115 (Source: Bloomberg July 29, 2014). This lack of liquidity could prevent all but those with a long investment horizon from owning the stock.

The “risk off” mentality could be detrimental to micro cap companies like ACU as investors favor larger cap names or other asset classes.
Opportunities – The size of addressable market (projected at over $30 billion in PV manufacturer revenue in 2014) is growing at solid compound annual growth rates.

ACU’s background in real-time process technology and intellectual capital allow for first mover advantage.

Threats – Should government subsidies evaporate, the “shine” could be taken off of solar as an electricity source.

Fast growing markets attract attention and competitors. Research & development in the solar cell sector could render ACU’s technology obsolete, though it would take time for existing supply chains to be deconstructed and new ones emerge.

As ACU is thought of as a micro cap stock, funding may be difficult to negotiate going forward.

Scalability is crucial and ACU must manage capital appropriately to have the intellectual capital (sales force) in place to achieve the economies of scale anticipated.


Conclusion

Solar energy is a multi-billion dollar business with many moving parts along its value chain. The mandate from governments and demand from consumers for a diversified and cleaner energy infrastructure is clear and ACU aims to join this chain and grow within it. As the market grows and competition remains fierce, efficiency in panel production will be the “name of the game” and ACU aims to be the answer to the industry going forward. As the company continues to build and leverage global relationships backed by a disruptive technology, the potential exists for ACU to become an indispensable part of the solar power supply chain.

MHI Develops High-efficiency 2MW Gas Engine, Demonstration Testing of Prototype to Commence in Sep, To Confirm 'World's Highest Level of Power Generation Efficiency'
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/06/mhi-develo…

"Tokyo, Aug 6, 2014 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), as part of the Strategic Innovation Program for Energy Conservation Technologies operated by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), has developed a 2-megawatt (MW) 16-cylinder high-speed gas engine achieving one of the world's highest power generation efficiency ratings in a high-speed gas engine. Through the adoption of technologies including two-stage turbocharging1 and Miller cycle2, the new engine offers power generation efficiency exceeding 44.7% (lower heating value3), one of the highest ratings for a high-speed gas engine for power generation and cogeneration applications.

Demonstration testing using a prototype of the new engine will get under way in September. Ultimately MHI is targeting commercial production of the engine for applications including distributed generation, regular generation and cogeneration, and emergency generation during times of disaster.


Notes:

1. Two-stage turbocharging: In two-stage turbocharging, turbochargers are arranged in series in the low- and high-pressure stages and an intercooler is placed between them, creating a configuration that achieves outstanding efficiency and a high pressure ratio.

2. Miller cycle: Whereas in the normal (Otto) cycle the compression ratio and expansion ratio of the cylinders are equal, in the Miller cycle the profile of the valve cam is engineered so that the timing of the valve closing shifts in such a way that the expansion ratio becomes greater than the compression ratio - a configuration aimed at enhancing thermal efficiency.

3. Lower heating value (LHV): LHV is one way of expressing the gross thermal efficiency of internal combustion power generation. It refers to the calorific value at which fuel combusts adequately to convert to work. In relation to the thermal efficiency of an engine, LHV derives from the value of work calculated as calorific value divided by the calorific value of the supplied fuel.


1. Overview

In Japan, the importance of securing electricity supplies and distributed power generation sources has intensified in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, and at both the national and local levels governmental bodies are devising measures to encourage the introduction of cogeneration systems. Overseas, substantial expansion in the market for gas engine power supplies is anticipated against the backdrop of the promotion of distributed power generation systems responding to shale gas development in North America and to expanding power consumption in China and other Asian countries.

MHI's newly developed 16-cylinder high-speed gas engine has achieved a power generation efficiency rating in excess of 44.7% (LHV), one of the highest ratings in a gas engine for use in power generation and cogeneration. This achievement has been made possible through the development of two-stage turbocharging technology enabling the adaptation of a high Miller cycle, the development of elemental technologies for a high power ratio to raise mechanical efficiency, and the achievement of high power generation efficiency.


2. Latest Breakthroughs

Development of two-stage turbocharging technology enabling adaptation of a high Miller cycle

The adaptation of a high Miller cycle enabling outstanding power generation efficiency requires a turbocharging system to feed the necessary air efficiently to the combustion chamber. MHI succeeded in developing two-stage turbocharging technology achieving an outstanding pressure ratio and high efficiency rating by installing high-efficiency turbochargers applying expertise in automotive compressors in both the low- and high-pressure stages.


Development of elemental technologies, for a high power ratio to raise mechanical efficiency

The newly developed 2MW-class gas engine cuts the engine's mechanical loss ratio, and thus raises mechanical efficiency, by improving engine output while maintaining the same exhaust volume as the GS16R2, a 1.5MW-class gas engine developed by MHI in 2012. To cope with the increased combustion pressure and thermal load accompanying higher output, elemental technologies were developed for important parts such as high-strength cylinder heads and steel pistons achieved through thermal structural analysis, cooling system analysis, etc. These parts will next undergo durability testing and evaluation.


High power generation efficiency

As a result of the two breakthroughs described above, the newly developed engine offers 0.5MW higher power generation output and 4.4-point higher gross thermal efficiency than the current high power-outputting GS16R2 (40.3%), all with the same exhaust volume and same engine rotation speed.


3. Future Plans

Plans call for the installation of a prototype at MHI's Sagamihara District in Kanagawa Prefecture, where the company has an engine production base, for use in its non-utility power generation facility, with demonstration testing to continue through February 2015. After demonstration testing, which will include tests of the prototype's power output, efficiency and all other performance categories, the system will be used as the power source of a model power generation and cogeneration package set to undergo demonstration operation.

MHI further plans to steadily expand from the newly developed 16-cylinder model to a full series of 6- to 24-cylinder models offering outputs ranging from 0.75 to 3 MW. In this way MHI will expand its lineup to accommodate a broad array of needs, both in Japan and overseas, for distributed power supplies, regular power generation and cogeneration systems, and emergency power supplies in preparation for disasters of all kinds.

"Best targets yet to be drilled, @Promesa’s Alumbre project in Peru"; With drilling costs averaging >$200/metre, explorers are looking for ways to improve confidence in the drill targets they choose. Australian junior Promesa Ltd "believes" it "may" have found an answer in geophysical inversion or, more specifically, Magnetization Vector Inversion(MVI) - EE - Aug 6, 2014

"With drilling costs averaging more than $200 per metre, explorers are looking for ways to improve confidence in the drill targets they choose. Australian junior Promesa Ltd (ASX Code: PRA) believes it may have found an answer in geophysical inversion or, more specifically, Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI).

“Detailed surface and subsurface geology, geochemistry, geophysics and the recent 3D modelling using the MVI process has increased confidence in our exploration model,” says Ananda Kathiravelu, executive director of Promesa, which is exploring the Alumbre copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system in northern Peru. “There is now a substantial body of information in support of the district-scale potential of the project.”

Magnetization Vector Inversion takes into account geological processes and geophysical effects that alter magnetization direction such as deformation, anisotropy, remanent magnetization and high susceptibilities – all obstacles for traditional susceptibility modelling. MVI is particularly effective at low latitudes, where the low inclination of the Earth’s magnetic field can make magnetic interpretation challenging.

The MVI technique is part of Geosoft VOXI Earth Modelling, a cloud-based geophysical inversion software that generates 3D voxel models from airborne or ground gravity and magnetic data. By harnessing the processing power of the cloud, VOXI has made large, multi-parameter inversion modelling faster, more responsive and effective as a tool for target delineation.

At Alumbre, Geophysicist Barry Bourne, ‎Principal Consultant at Terra Resources PTY Ltd, reinterpreted historical ground magnetic data (Fig 1) using the MVI methodology to estimate magnetic susceptibility. The resulting model suggests a significant link between surface Cu-Mo-Au mineralization and a large subsurface area with a strong magnetic signature (Fig 2). There is potential for multiple porphyry intrusive centres.

Recent drilling has provided further validation of the model, intercepting seven metres grading 0.72% copper coincident with increased magnetite (Fig 3). The combination of magnetic susceptibility, MVI and downhole and surface geochemistry indicates mineralization associated with strongly potassic felsic to intermediate intrusives, hydrothermal breccias and andesitic tuffs may continue at depth, west and north of the discovery hole.

By incorporating the drilling data, Promesa will further refine the MVI model and use it to target boreholes for a second phase of drilling in August. Ground magnetic anomalies extend throughout the project area and the established association between copper and magnetite (Fig 4) increases their prospectivity.

Alumbre has never been systematically explored for porphyry style deposits, but magnetic modelling using methods such as MVI is catching on as an effective means of generating targets within similar porphyry systems, particularly at low latitudes.

“Magnetic inversion has developed into an important tool for targeting potential porphyry systems at Alumbre,” Promesa noted in a recent release. “This evaluation has resulted in a significant new interpretation of the magnetic susceptibility model of the project area.”

"Magnetization Vector Inversion lends confidence, to 3D modelling of mineral projects in South America"; Magnetization Vector Inversion(MVI) is proving to be an effective exploration guide for two promising projects in South America. Further drilling is planned @Colombian Mines' Mercedes project in west-central Colombia +Promesa's Alumbre project in northern Peru, to follow up on' promising MVI interpretations' - EE - Jul 28, 2014

" Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI) is proving to be an effective exploration guide for two promising projects in South America.

At the Mercedes project in west-central Colombia, 3D inversion of airborne magnetic data produced an MVI susceptibility model that clearly outlined a major geophysical lineament (the DWI trend) and helped identify 20 highly prospective anomalies within the trend. The project, owned by Vancouver-based Colombian Mines Corporation, covers a large volcano-sedimentary hosted epithermal vein system with outcropping mineralization grading up to 50g/t gold, 1,120g/t silver and 26.5% copper. Consulting geophysicist, Robert Ellis, with EGC Inc. of Reno, Nevada developed the models from the high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric data collected by MPX Geophysics, the acquisition contractor.



- Colombian Mines’ Mercedes Project: MVI Susceptibility Amplitude Section A-A' -


“I have used a lot of magnetic data all over the world, from far northern Canada to the Equator and south, but the use of 3D voxel inversion modelling was an eye opener,” said Robert Carrington, President and CEO of Colombian Mines. “I felt like I had been taken from the Stone Age to the Space Age over a cup of coffee. With these advances, magnetics is no longer the ‘poor country cousin’, but ranks in the same realm as 3D seismics and other high end geophysical exploration tools. Of course the proof will be in the drilling.”

At the Alumbre project in northern Peru, MVI is validating the exploration methodologies chosen by Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed explorer Promesa Ltd , which recently pulled a significant copper intercept during its first phase of drilling. The intersection (7 metres @ 0.72% copper) is associated with magnetite highs in the core. The 3D MVI model suggests there is a relationship between a large subsurface volume of rock with a strong magnetic signature and anomalous copper-molybdenum-gold surface and down hole geochemistry, providing further targets for follow up.

Alumbre covers a Cu-Au-Mo porphyry system that has never been systematically explored for porphyry style deposits. Geophysicist Barry Bourne, with Terra Resources Pty Ltd, re-interpreted the company’s historical ground based magnetic data with the MVI methodology to estimate the magnetic susceptibility.

In a recent announcement, Promesa Director, Ananda Kathiravelu said: “This appears to be an entirely new low altitude district with excellent infrastructure and logistical amenities.” The exploration model includes extensive alteration mapping geochemistry, sampling, geophysics and an interpretation of a new magnetic susceptibility 3D model of the project area.

Both companies are planning to follow up their promising MVI interpretations with further drilling. At Mercedes, plans and sections generated through the susceptibility model can be compared with known geology to outline drill targets with greater accuracy. At Alumbre, Promesa will use the model to zero in on higher grade mineralization within the larger Cu-Mo-Au porphyry system. The magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of the discovery hole indicates that mineralization continues to the north, west and down dip.

Both projects lie at low latitudes, where the low inclination of the Earth’s magnetic field can make magnetic interpretation challenging. Useful in all geological environments, Magnetization Vector Inversion is most effective in situations where geological processes or geophysical effects, such as deformation, anisotropy, remanent magnetization and high susceptibilities, alter magnetization direction.

MVI, part of Geosoft VOXI Earth Modelling, is an effective tool for visualizing the subsurface quickly and accurately because it solves for both the magnitude and direction of rock magnetization, making it more generally applicable than traditional susceptibility modelling. "

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.

SurePure Announces " 'Breakthrough' in 'Contaminated Marine Diesel Purification, Without Biocides' "; The contamination of diesel fuel is a significant problem for the maritime shipping industry, leading to extensive waste of fuel +environmental contamination. The industry is seeking to improve 'conventional means' by which it cleans fuel, where micro-organisms have proliferated. SurePure, in conjunction with a South African oil industry consultant Lemon Tree Holdings, applied its 'proprietary Turbulator technology' in a test conducted in April @Stellenbosch, South Africa. In the test, a simple initial centrifuge 1st separated the slurry, formed as by-product of microbial growth in the marine diesel fuel on the diesel/water interface +split the bio-film "micro-web" that had formed inside the fuel. Then, the fuel was processed through SurePure's patented Turbulator technology, to kill the micro-organisms in the fuel. The results of the test showed a total log reduction of 3.40(log reduction is the accepted measurement for purification) achieved from a starting Total Viable Count(TVC) before centrifuge @some 24.800 colony forming units/millilitre(commonly referred to as cfu/ml) +finishing TVC after treatment by SurePure's Turbulator technology @only 10 cfu/ml. With an analysed industry average of "refinery fresh" diesel generally being measured @480 cfu/ml, the SurePure process results are "indicative of the 'potential' to clean marine diesel fuel, even if severely compromised by micro-organism infestation". Full color restoration to the normal yellow diesel colour, from a black contaminated diesel tone, was also observed in the test. Simple burnability +in-use in engine testing evidenced no deficiency in the rejuvenated diesel samples; Guy Kebble: "These early test data "are "extremely promising" for the marine diesel industry in particular, but possibly for all fuel diesel in time to come. Not only could the immediate environmental benefit from a significantly reduced amount of contaminated diesel fuels to be dumped or aimlessly burnt, but the recovery of severely contaminated marine diesel may be able to deliver considerable savings to the industry +increased profits to processors". Indeed, it may be possible in the future that small SurePure installations on-board ship 'could' help eradicate microbial contamination of marine diesel @the source, with commensurate savings in tank cleaning, +fuel loss. Cleaner fuels 'may' also ensure better fuel economy +engine efficiency +even the extension of the life of engine components. This "is only the beginning of our 'exploration' of the 'potential' benefits of SurePure's Turbulator technology in the diesel industry, but we "believe" that, together with the 'right petrochemical partners', we "may" be able to extract significant value from this application" - Apr 23, 2014

SurePure Announces Preliminary Results for Additional Commercial Application of its 'Patented Photopurification Technology', in Dairy Industry; Driven primarily by a desire to save energy, by using cold-processing rather than pasteurization in the manufacture of cheese, Oaksprings Dairy in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, has been utilizing SurePure's technology. Oaksprings has reported to SurePure that it has experienced further benefits associated with SurePure's technology; Mr. Leigh Reyneke: "Given the rising cost of energy +the sometimes intermittent supply in rural areas of South Africa we were looking to reduce our electricity bill, by reducing our reliance on our pasteuriser. We have experienced savings in the order of 75% in our energy costs, with this technology. "So the SurePure 'promise of being able to eliminate thermal processing of the cheese is very attractive to us'." SurePure's academic research "suggested we should also enjoy a ~10% yield increase, due to the reduction of psychotrophic bacteria in the milk, which is the increase that we in fact experienced". We have also been pleasantly surprised about the flavor +quality improvements in our cheddar. Overall, the use of SurePure's technology has been an 'unqualified success'."; Guy Kebble: "Having completed a comprehensive three year academic investigation into the benefits of photopurifying milk for cheese production, it is gratifying to see this academic data being reflected in the real world of cheese-making. We think the trifecta of energy-savings, yield increase +quality enhancements 'will prove irresistible to the dairy industry, over time'." - Jul 24, 2014

Litigation Over 1st Ever LEED Platinum Building Tarnishes Green Building - CT - Aug 7, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/08/06/litigation-over-first-eve…

"Last week, a federal appeals court brought back from the dead, a more than $6 Million lawsuit filed over materials supplied in 2000 for the first ever LEED certified Platinum building. Despite that the unpublished opinion is not binding precedent, it will have a chilling effect on green building and in particular on the selection of new or untried materials and products that are the keystone of many sustainable projects.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation v. Weyerhaeuser Company arose from the construction in 1999 of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s headquarters in Annapolis, Maryland. SmithGroup designed the building and Clark Construction oversaw its construction. SmithGroup’s “green” design called for exposed structural wood members outside the building envelope, including some that penetrated the facade. Under a March 3, 2000 purchase order that it entered into with Clark, Weyerhaeuser agreed to provide Parallam PSL columns and beams for use as the exposed wood members.

Parallams, which have a rough-hewn appearance, are manufactured by bonding together strips of wood. Its contract with Clark required Weyerhaeuser to treat the Parallams with the preservative PolyClear 2000, something then new and untried.

Water damage to the Parallams was observed during construction. Following final completion of construction in late December 2000, water began leaking through the Parallams into the building. In 2001 and 2002, the leakage was investigated by two outside consultants hired by Clark. A 2001 report by one of those consultants addressed to the Bay Foundation described that such water could cause deterioration or rot in the Parallams themselves if they were not properly treated with a wood preservative.

In a damning fact that may have had more to do with this court decision than the law, the Bay Foundation “… subsequently learned that the Parallams had not been treated with PolyClear 2000 as certified, that PolyClear 2000 was not in any event well suited to the job of preserving the Parallams, and that Weyerhaeuser had knowingly given false assurances to the contrary.”

The Bay Foundation initiated this case in state court on December 3, 2010 (i.e., 9 years, 11 months and some odd days after final completion) and the case was ultimately removed to the US District of Maryland. The complaint focused on the deterioration of the Parallams. According to the complaint, Weyerhaeuser breached its contract with Clark, owed common law indemnity and contribution to SmithGroup and Clark, and was liable to the Bay Foundation and SmithGroup for negligent misrepresentation and negligence.

The federal trial court, in awarding summary judgment to Weyerhaeuser, concluded that the plaintiffs’ state law claims were time-barred. Maryland’s statute of limitations provides that “[a]civil action at law shall be filed within three years from the date it accrues unless another provision of the Code provides a different period of time within which an action shall be commenced.” Maryland follows the discovery rule, which provides that “the cause of action accrues when the claimant in fact knew or reasonably should have known of the wrong.” And the trial court reasoned the 2001 report did just that.

But, the three judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the more than 2 year old order (that had dismissed the case) and remanded the case for further proceedings.

The federal appellate court said, “viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, a genuine dispute exists as to whether knowledge of the water infiltration problem would have put a reasonable person on notice that the Parallams were susceptible to premature deterioration and that their PolyClear 2000 treatment would not preserve them.”

This blog will continue to watch the saga that are these disputes and differences arising out of the first LEED Platinum certified building. And while only time will tell if this case will have a chilling effect on green building, it certainly will cause architects to give pause before specifying new or untried materials and products that are the keystone of many sustainable projects.

Cigarette Butts Recycled, into Coating for Supercapacitors - CT/ENN/NT/EA/IOP/SNU - Aug 6, 2014

"It is estimated that as many as 5.6 trillion used-cigarettes, or 766,571 metric tons, are deposited into the environment worldwide every year.

That’s a lot of litter, especially when it takes 18 months to 10 years for cigarette filters to degrade!

However, these butts may have a newly discovered second use as a group of South Korean scientists have converted these cigarette leftovers into a high-performing material that could be integrated into computers, handheld devices, electrical vehicles and wind turbines.

But for what purpose exactly?

It is hoped the material can be used to coat the electrodes of supercapacitors—electrochemical components that can store extremely large amounts of electrical energy—while also offering a solution to the growing environmental problem caused by used-cigarette filters.

The researchers have demonstrated the material’s superior performance compared to commercially available carbon, graphene and carbon nanotubes.

Co-author of the study Professor Jongheop Yi, from Seoul National University, said: “Our study has shown that used-cigarette filters can be transformed into a high-performing carbon-based material using a simple one step process, which simultaneously offers a green solution to meeting the energy demands of society.

“Numerous countries are developing strict regulations to avoid the trillions of toxic and non-biodegradable used-cigarette filters that are disposed of into the environment each year—our method is just one way of achieving this.”

In their study, the researchers demonstrated that the cellulose acetate fibres that cigarette filters are mostly composed of could be transformed into a carbon-based material using a simple, one-step burning technique called pyrolysis.

As a result of this burning process, the resulting carbon-based material contained a number of tiny pores, increasing its performance as a supercapacitive material.

“A high-performing supercapacitor material should have a large surface area, which can be achieved by incorporating a large number of small pores into the material,” continued Professor Yi.

“A combination of different pore sizes ensures that the material has high power densities, which is an essential property in a supercapacitor for the fast charging and discharging.”

Once fabricated, the carbon-based material was attached to an electrode and tested in a three-electrode system to see how well the material could adsorb electrolyte ions (charge) and then release electrolyte ions (discharge).

The material stored a higher amount of electrical energy than commercially available carbon and also had a higher amount of storage compared to graphene and carbon nanotubes, as reported in previous studies.

The study can be found in the in IOP Publishing’s journal Nanotechnology. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Printing Electronics, with PragmatIC Printing - N - Mar 25, 2014
www.nanalyze.com/2014/03/printing-electronics-with-pragmatic…

"In a previous article we highlighted Camtek (NASDAQ:CAMT), a company that develops enhanced automated solutions for production processes in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry, and their intent to move into “3D printing”. Camtek is preparing to launch their “GreenJet 3D printer”, which in fact is a digital inkjet solder mask printing system which has been around since 2007. This printing system deposits solder mask on printed circuit boards, but is not capable of printing circuits on plastic, paper, card or metal surfaces that are flexible or curved. One company that caaaaan is PragmatIC Printing.





About

Cambridge UK based Pragmatic Printing acquired the printed electronics business of Nano ePrint Ltd. in 2010. Spun off from the University of Manchester in 2006, Nano ePrint was a specialist in the design and manufacturing of planar nano-electronics. Pragmatic Printing uses imprint lithography to produce sub-micron transistors on various substrates using physical force to pattern the elements, which has the potential to be very cost effective. The electronics can be integrated onto plastic, paper, card or metal surfaces, which may be curved or flexible.



- Ultra thin, flexible, transparent, nano-scale electronic devices – Source: Pragmatic -


The printed electronics can be partially transparent, or integrated into the artwork of the product, and are extremely thin so that they do not appear raised.


Technology Applications

While Pragmatic has used this technology to create electronic greeting cards for Tigerprint, a Hallmark subsidiary, they propose some much more interesting applications for this technology going forward. Animated branding can bring a brand logo to life by making it flash or change color when the consumer touches it. Brand protection could allow the consumer to easily authenticate products via a label that shows a logo when touched or placed near an RF source. Smart packaging can integrate useful functionality into packaging, for example a timer allowing the consumer to easily check how long their hair dye has been applied. All the potential applications for printed electronics have tremendous growth potential in the next six years as see in the below chart by NanoMarkets:




The above forecast by NanoMarkets calls for a $1.15 billion printed electronics market in 2014 which will grow to $16.7 billion in 2019, a CAGR of 58 percent. Recently Pragmatic partnered with Procter & Gamble and several other firms to create the world’s first flexible multi-functional timer based on commercially available printed electronics which will be distributed at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event in Berlin next month. The device consists of an electronic logic circuit implemented with thin film metal oxide transistors, powered by a printed battery, and integrated onto a paper substrate. The piece of paper has four individually controlled timing options, activated by bending or “dog-earing” one of the corners of the paper.

According to an article early last year in Electronics Weekly .com, Pragmatic was producing more than 10,000 flexible logic circuits per month on a pilot line and was expected to scale to a capacity of over 10 million logic circuits per year during 2013. A number of companies including ITW Foils, a part of $34 billion Illinois Tool Works, have licensed the printable circuit technology from Pragmatic. If the meteoric growth forecast from NanoMarkets comes true, Pragmatic will need to scale very quickly to begin capturing meaningful market share. "

Peak Resources "delivers 'robust' Ngualla PFS, maiden Ore Reserve" - PAI - Mar 19, 2014

http://stocknessmonster.com/news-item?S=PEK&E=ASX&N=671505

"Peak Resources' (ASX: PEK) should trade higher after it released an economically robust Pre-Feasibility Study for its Ngualla Rare Earth Project in Tanzania that lowers underlying capital costs by US$91 million and highlights NPV of US$1.31 billion.

The company has also defined a maiden Ore Reserve of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% rare earth oxides.

Other highlights of the PFS include a 39% IRR for a base case project producing 10,000 tonnes per annum of separated high-purity rare earth oxides; payback in the third year of production; and average annual operating free cash flow of US$174 million for 58 years.

Notably, 83% of Ngualla’s forecast revenue is derived from high value, high demand neodymium – praseodymium along with mid and heavy rare earth products.



- Peak Resources releases the PFS and maiden Ore Reserve for its Ngualla Project in Tanzania -


“We are extremely happy with the results from the PFS. These show the project to be robust with an extremely long mine life and attractive free cash generation,” managing director Darren Townsend said.

“From the detailed work completed we have identified opportunities for potential further operating cost reductions through the optimisation of the processing circuits and additional reagent recycling.

“With the positive outcome of the study we will step up our discussions with a number of potential strategic financial partners with a view to rapidly progressing the development of the Ngualla Project.”

He also noted the announcement of an Ore Reserve was an important milestone in the development of the Ngualla Project into a low cost producer of high quality separated rare earth products.

“The Ore Reserve is one of the world’s largest outside of China and is also high quality with over 86% in the highest JORC Proved category,” Townsend added.


Pre-Feasibility Study

The detailed PFS and economic assessment for Peak’s wholly-owned Ngualla project is based on extensive evaluation and metallurgical test work programs that confirmed the project as having low capital and operating costs along with a long project life.

Pre-tax and royalty NPV has being estimated at US$1.31 billion while post-tax and royalty is US$1 billion. IRR is expected to be about 39%.

Data from a high quality Resource and detailed mine planning schedule was fed into a processing flow sheet based on data from metallurgical test work completed for every stage of the overall extraction process from Ngualla’s mineralisation to high purity separated rare earth products.

Sophisticated engineering simulation and mass balance modelling of the demonstrated metallurgical process supports the detailed capital and operating cost estimates for the PFS.

The conventional open pit mine requires a simple, low cost, easy to operate acid leach extraction process.

This has reduced underlying capital cost by 24% from the May 2013 Revised Scoping Study to US$282 million while Capex is estimated at US$367 million (including a 30% contingency).

Operating costs are estimated at US$11.74 per kilogram.

In addition, the estimated 58 year mine life covers just the weathered Bastnaesite Zone alone, which hosts 22% of the overall 4.4 million tonnes REO Resource.

The Ngualla Mine and processing plant are expected to produce 10,000 tonnes per annum of >99% purity, separated rare earth oxide products.

This production rate is based on Proved (86%) and Probable (14%) Ore Reserves of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% rare earth oxides.

About 83% of Ngualla’s forecast revenue is derived from the high value, high demand neodymium – praseodymium as well as mid and heavy rare earth products.

The company has used conservative price assumptions with an average product price of US$29.29 per kilogram of high purity separated REO.

This is leveraged to any further increases in rare earth prices with potential for after tax and royalty NPV to increase to US$ 1.6 billion for an additional 25% increase in prices.


Maiden Ore Reserve

The Maiden Ore Reserve of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% REO, or 941,000 tonnes of contained REO, was estimated by independent mining consultancy Orelogy Group using the Measured and Indicated portions of the Resource for the weathered Bastnaesite Zone at a 3% REO cut-off grade.

Metallurgical test work has shown high rare earth recoveries can be expected from the weathered Bastnaesite Zone portion of the Ngualla Mineral Resource using the metallurgical process demonstrated.

A geometallurgical model was developed based on geology, geochemistry and leach variability test work that identifies this mineralisation.

Mining losses and dilution are expected to be minimal due to the thick blanket morphology of the deposit and the use of small mining equipment operating at a relatively slow total mining rate of 1.2Mt of waste plus ore per annum over the life of mine.

Mineralisation within the weathered Bastnaesite Zone occurs as a flat lying thick blanket with the highest grades at surface and material that is predominantly soft and friable.

The mine design was based on the pit shell selected during the optimisation exercise. Mining is through two successive 5 metres benches for a batter height of 10 metres with a face slope angle of 50 degrees and overall pit slope angle of 37 degrees.

This slope angle is conservative and expected to be improved on completion of the geotechnical investigations to be undertaken during the Definitive Feasibility Study.


Processing Method

Peak has developed and successfully demonstrated a metallurgical process for taking the weathered Bastnaesite Zone mineralisation through to high purity separated rare earth oxide products.


The relatively simple three stage process consists of:

- Beneficiation: physical concentration of the rare earth host minerals and rejection of gangue minerals;
- Recovery: chemical recovery, purification and concentration of the rare earths using a simple sulphuric acid leach; and
- Separation: purification and recovery of individual or grouped high purity rare earth oxides via solvent extraction.


Uranium and thorium levels are extremely low within the ore body and average 16ppm and 59ppm respectively. No deleterious elements have been identified.


Ngualla Project

The Ngualla Project comprises two Prospecting Licences, PL6079/2009 and PL9157/2013, located in southwest Tanzania, 55 kilometres west of the main north-south trunk road in the west of the country.

A 827 kilometre long bitumen highway and the TAZARA railway connect the city of Mbeya, 150 kilometres south of the site, to the deep water sea port of Dar es Salaam.

Ongoing major upgrades to the road and rail network are bringing this region’s infrastructure up to first world standards and is a major advantage for Ngualla’s logistics and site access.

Peak will undertake a required Environmental and Social Impact Assessment as part of the Definitive Feasibility phase of the project and submit the findings to the Tanzanian National Environment Management Council for review and approval by the Minister responsible for the environment.

The whole process is well established and will take between 6 to 12 months, so will be completed in parallel with the Definitive Feasibility study.

Ngualla is targeting a 2016 start for production.


"Analysis"

Peak Resources has reached two key value accretive milestones for its Ngualla Rare Earth Project in Tanzania with the release of its Pre-Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserves.

The PFS establishes Ngualla as an economically robust project with a pre-tax and royalty NPV of US$1.31 billion as well as a post-tax IRR of 39%.

Notably, the project also offers low capital and operating costs, a long initial mine life of 58 years as well as leverage to rising rare earth prices.

We consider the study is share price accretive by 30-40%.


Profile

Peak Resources (ASX: PEK) aims to develop into a medium sized mining house based on exploration and development.

The company holds an extensive portfolio with the main focus the Ngualla Rare Earth Project in southern Tanzania. Additionally, Peak holds a number of gold projects comprising a mix of brownfield, greenfield and advanced exploration prospects within Tanzania and Western Australia. "

Wi-Fi backscatter uses radio frequency signals as a power source and reuses existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide Internet connectivity to battery-free devices. -


Imagine a world in which your wristwatch or other wearable device communicates directly with your online profiles, storing information about your daily activities where you can best access it – all without requiring batteries.

Or, battery-free sensors embedded around your home could track minute-by-minute temperature changes and send that information to your thermostat to help conserve energy.

This not-so-distant “Internet of Things” reality would extend connectivity to perhaps billions of devices. Sensors could be embedded in everyday objects to help monitor and track everything from the structural safety of bridges to the health of your heart. But having a way to cheaply power and connect these devices to the Internet has kept this from taking off.

Now, University of Washington engineers have designed a new communication system that uses radio frequency signals as a power source and reuses existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide Internet connectivity to these devices.

- This image shows a close-up view of the next-generation microshutter arrays during the fabrication process. The technology advances an already groundbreaking multi-object observing technique.
Image Credit: NASA/Bill Hrybyk -


NASA technologists have hurdled a number of significant technological challenges in their quest to improve an already revolutionary observing technology originally created for the James Webb Space Telescope.

The team, led by Principal Investigator Harvey Moseley, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has demonstrated that electrostatically actuated microshutter arrays — that is, those activated by applying an specific voltage — are as functional as the current technology’s magnetically activated arrays. This advance makes them a highly attractive capability for potential Explorer-class missions designed to perform multi-object observations.

“We have identified real applications — three scientists want to use our microshutter arrays and the commercial sector has expressed interest,” said Mary Li, a Goddard engineer who is working with Moseley and other team members to fully develop this already groundbreaking observing technology. “The electrostatic concept has been fully demonstrated and our focus now is on making these devices highly reliable.”

Progress, she said, is in large part due to the fact that the team successfully eliminated all macro-moving parts — in particular, a large magnet — and dramatically lowered the voltage needed to actuate the microshutter array. In addition, the team applied advanced electronic circuitry and manufacturing techniques to assure the microshutter arrays’ dependable operation in orbit, Li added.


The Microshutter Breakthrough

Considered among the most innovative technologies to fly on the Webb telescope, the microshutter assembly is created from micro-electro-mechanical technologies and comprises thousands of tiny shutters, each about the width of a human hair.

Assembled on four postage-size grids or arrays, the 250,000 shutters open or close individually to allow only the light from targeted objects to enter Webb’s Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), which will help identify types of stars and gases and measure their distances and motions. Because Webb will observe faint, far-away objects, it will take as long as a week for NIRSpec to gather enough light to obtain good spectra.

NIRSpec’s microshutter array, however, enhances the instrument’s observing efficiencies. It will allow scientists to gather spectral data on 100 objects at a time, vastly increasing the observatory’s productivity. When NASA launches the Webb telescope in 2018, it will represent a first for multi-object spectroscopy. ..."

SurePure Announces " 'Breakthrough' in 'Contaminated Marine Diesel Purification, Without Biocides' "; The contamination of diesel fuel is a significant problem for the maritime shipping industry, leading to extensive waste of fuel +environmental contamination. The industry is seeking to improve 'conventional means' by which it cleans fuel, where micro-organisms have proliferated. SurePure, in conjunction with a South African oil industry consultant Lemon Tree Holdings, applied its 'proprietary Turbulator technology' in a test conducted in April @Stellenbosch, South Africa. In the test, a simple initial centrifuge 1st separated the slurry, formed as by-product of microbial growth in the marine diesel fuel on the diesel/water interface +split the bio-film "micro-web" that had formed inside the fuel. Then, the fuel was processed through SurePure's patented Turbulator technology, to kill the micro-organisms in the fuel. The results of the test showed a total log reduction of 3.40(log reduction is the accepted measurement for purification) achieved from a starting Total Viable Count(TVC) before centrifuge @some 24.800 colony forming units/millilitre(commonly referred to as cfu/ml) +finishing TVC after treatment by SurePure's Turbulator technology @only 10 cfu/ml. With an analysed industry average of "refinery fresh" diesel generally being measured @480 cfu/ml, the SurePure process results are "indicative of the 'potential' to clean marine diesel fuel, even if severely compromised by micro-organism infestation". Full color restoration to the normal yellow diesel colour, from a black contaminated diesel tone, was also observed in the test. Simple burnability +in-use in engine testing evidenced no deficiency in the rejuvenated diesel samples; Guy Kebble: "These early test data "are "extremely promising" for the marine diesel industry in particular, but possibly for all fuel diesel in time to come. Not only could the immediate environmental benefit from a significantly reduced amount of contaminated diesel fuels to be dumped or aimlessly burnt, but the recovery of severely contaminated marine diesel may be able to deliver considerable savings to the industry +increased profits to processors". Indeed, it may be possible in the future that small SurePure installations on-board ship 'could' help eradicate microbial contamination of marine diesel @the source, with commensurate savings in tank cleaning, +fuel loss. Cleaner fuels 'may' also ensure better fuel economy +engine efficiency +even the extension of the life of engine components. This "is only the beginning of our 'exploration' of the 'potential' benefits of SurePure's Turbulator technology in the diesel industry, but we "believe" that, together with the 'right petrochemical partners', we "may" be able to extract significant value from this application" - Apr 23, 2014

SurePure Announces Preliminary Results for Additional Commercial Application of its 'Patented Photopurification Technology', in Dairy Industry; Driven primarily by a desire to save energy, by using cold-processing rather than pasteurization in the manufacture of cheese, Oaksprings Dairy in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, has been utilizing SurePure's technology. Oaksprings has reported to SurePure that it has experienced further benefits associated with SurePure's technology; Mr. Leigh Reyneke: "Given the rising cost of energy +the sometimes intermittent supply in rural areas of South Africa we were looking to reduce our electricity bill, by reducing our reliance on our pasteuriser. We have experienced savings in the order of 75% in our energy costs, with this technology. "So the SurePure 'promise of being able to eliminate thermal processing of the cheese is very attractive to us'." SurePure's academic research "suggested we should also enjoy a ~10% yield increase, due to the reduction of psychotrophic bacteria in the milk, which is the increase that we in fact experienced". We have also been pleasantly surprised about the flavor +quality improvements in our cheddar. Overall, the use of SurePure's technology has been an 'unqualified success'."; Guy Kebble: "Having completed a comprehensive three year academic investigation into the benefits of photopurifying milk for cheese production, it is gratifying to see this academic data being reflected in the real world of cheese-making. We think the trifecta of energy-savings, yield increase +quality enhancements 'will prove irresistible to the dairy industry, over time'." - Jul 24, 2014

Minister Duncan Announces Funding, for Clean Technology Project in British Columbia

"VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 8, 2014) - Natural Resources Canada

The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of State and Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North, on behalf of the Honourable Greg Rickford, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, today announced a new, additional investment of $600,800 as part of Canada's comprehensive strategy for enhancing innovation and competitiveness under Canada's ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative (ecoEII).

With support from our government, the University of Victoria's plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) smart grid project will help generate a better understanding of intermittent renewable electricity sources such as wind, tidal, wave and solar, and the storage potential in electric vehicle batteries. A key part of the project will gather consumer survey data to construct improved technical models of driver behaviours and charging preferences to best prepare for the adoption of electric vehicles in the future. The project will also make use of data from the growing network of charging stations in B.C.

Through ecoEII, the Harper Government is providing $268.2 million over five years (2011-2016) to support research, development and demonstration projects that produce and use energy in a cleaner and efficient manner that will create jobs, generate economic opportunities and help protect the environment.


Quick Facts

Since 2006, the Government of Canada has taken action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a more sustainable environment by investing more than $10 billion in green infrastructure, energy efficiency, clean energy technologies and the production of cleaner energy and cleaner fuels.
The clean technology sector is an important economic driver for the Canadian economy. The sector employs more than 52,000 Canadians in over 700 companies across all regions of the country - part of a global supply chain estimated to be worth $10.6 billion.


Quotes

"Our government is positioning Canada as a global leader in the clean technology sector by supporting innovative projects aimed at producing and using energy in cleaner and more efficient ways. Projects such as the University of Victoria's powering plug-in electric vehicles project demonstrate how our government is making significant progress in this area, while creating jobs and protecting the environment."

The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of State and Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North

"As British Columbians make the decision to take the next step and buy an electric vehicle, research into renewable sources of electricity becomes even more important as demand on the power grid increases. The Government of Canada and our provincial government are helping fund this research, which seeks to find solutions that will benefit us all."

Marvin Hunt, Surrey-Panorama MLA

"Plug-in electrified vehicles represent a tremendous opportunity to reduce the impact of vehicles on the environment and to integrate fluctuating energy sources like wind, wave, and tidal into the grid. We'll gain a more complete understanding of the real benefits of plugging PEVs into the current B.C. grid."

Dr. Curran Crawford, Mechanical engineer, lead PEV smart grid project, University of Victoria

New York Times will now use the word 'torture'
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/08/new-york-t…

"NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (UPI) --

The New York Times will now use the word "torture" in stories regarding interrogations in which the paper is sure pain was inflicted to get information.

The Times has faced criticism for its hesitation to use the word when speaking about the controversial interrogation techniques used by the United States and specifically the Central Intelligence Agency when trying to get information from terror suspects. They had previously used Bush administration-coined euphemisms such as "enhanced interrogation techniques."

In an editorial published Thursday, executive editor Dean Baquet said The Times will no longer use these euphemisms and instead call it what it is.

"From now on, The Times will use the word 'torture' to describe incidents in which we know for sure that interrogators inflicted pain on a prisoner in an effort to get information," wrote Baquet.

He said the decision was prompted by pressure on management from journalists at The Times coupled with the recent debate over the CIA torture report.

The report, which is in the declassification process, describes the torture the U.S. engaged in during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and is expected to be released to the public soon.

Regulations "needed to identify 'potentially invasive biofuel crops' " - EA, URBANA - Aug 7, 2014
www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-08/uoic-rn080714.php

"If the hottest new plant grown as a biofuel crop is approved based solely on its greenhouse gas emission profile, its potential as the next invasive species may not be discovered until it's too late. In response to this need to prevent such invasions, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed both a set of regulatory definitions and provisions and a list of 49 low-risk biofuel plants from which growers can choose.

Lauren Quinn, an invasive plant ecologist at U of I's Energy Biosciences Institute, recognized that most of the news about invasive biofuel crops was negative and offered few low-risk alternatives to producers. She and her colleagues set out to create a list of low-risk biofuel crops that can be safely grown for conversion to ethanol but realized in the process that regulations were needed to instill checks and balances in the system.

"There are not a lot of existing regulations that would prevent the planting of potentially invasive species at the state or federal levels. For example, there are currently only four states (Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, and Maryland) that have any laws relating to how bioenergy crops can be grown and that include any language about invasive species—and, for the most part, when those words do appear, they are either not defined or poorly defined," said Quinn.

In approving new biofuel products, Quinn said that the EPA doesn't formally consider invasiveness at all – just greenhouse gas emissions related to their production. "Last summer, the EPA approved two known invaders, Arundo donax (giant reed) and Pennisetum purpurem (napier grass), despite public criticism," added U of I professor of agricultural law A. Bryan Endres, who co-authored the research to define legislative language for potentially invasive bioenergy feedstocks.

Part of the problem is that there is no clear scientific definition of what it means to be invasive. The team of researchers used fundamental biological, ecological, and management principles to develop definitions for terminology commonly used to describe invasive species.

"Our definition of invasive is 'a population exhibiting a net negative impact or harm to the target ecosystem,' for example," Quinn said. "We want to establish guidelines that will be simple for regulators and informed by the ecological literature and our own knowledge. We also need to recognize that some native plants can become weedy or invasive. It's complicated and requires some understanding of the biology of these plants."

Quinn said that ideally the definitions and suggested regulations could become part of a revised Renewable Fuels Standard administered by EPA, which would require Congress to make the changes. The proposed regulations could also be adopted at the state level.

"Some of the biofeedstocks currently being examined by the EPA for approval, like pennycress, have a high risk for invasion," Quinn said. "Others have vague names such as jatropha with no species name, which is problematic. For example, there are three main Miscanthus species but only sterile hybrid Miscanthus × giganteus types are considered low risk. However, the EPA has approved "Miscanthus" as a feedstock without specifying a species or genotype" Quinn said. "That's fine for the low-risk sterile types but could mean higher-risk fertile types could be approved without additional oversight."

According to Quinn, the white list, which includes 49 low-risk feedstock plants, will serve to clear up the confusion about plant names. The list was developed using an existing weed risk assessment protocol, which includes 49 questions that must be asked about a particular species based on its biology, ecology, and its history of being invasive in other parts of the world.

"Those questions are difficult to answer for new taxa, including plants that haven't been around long or have just recently been developed by breeders," Quinn said. "This will be the first time that they are out in the environment so we don't know what their potential for invasiveness is. But the white list offers plenty of choices of plants that are already commercially available, and the feedstocks on the list have a number of different industrial uses."

Quinn stressed that the native plants that are included in the white list are only recommended as the native genotypes grown in their native region, because although a plant may be native to a part of the United States, it could be considered invasive if grown in a different region.

"For example, Panicum virgatum is the variety of switchgrass that is low risk everywhere except for the three coastal states of Washington, Oregon, and California, but future genotypes that may be bred with more invasive characteristics, such as rapid growth or prolific seed production, may have higher risk."

The researchers believe that the white list provides producers with clearly identified low-invasion risk options and may reduce conflicts between objectives for increasing renewable fuel production and reducing unintended impacts and costs resulting from the propagation of invasive plants.

PlugSurfing +Green City Solutions: "Germany’s best cleantech start-ups" - CIC - ug 4, 2014
www.climate-kic.org/news/plugsurfing-and-green-city-solution…

"

An app for electric vehicle drivers and a plants based urban marketing tool – these ideas made the German Start-ups PlugSurfing and Green City Solutions win the Venture Competition German round (worth 20.000 Euro each).


With their 10 minute pitches they convinced they jury and the audience. Both ambitious companies will represent the German climate business start-up scene at Climate-KIC’s Innovation Festival in the end of October in Valencia (Spain), Europe’s largest get-together of climate innovators. At the Festival the best 15 climate start-ups of Europe will have the chance to showcase their businesses to the Climate-KIC community and pitch for the prize money of 60.000 Euro in total.



- The winners: Denes Honus (Green City Solutions) and Adam Woolway (PlugSurfing) -


PlugSurfing is Europe’s number one app for electric vehicle drivers with the vision of allowing them to find charging points and pay for the charging session wherever they go. The electric vehicle market is coming and PlugSurfing is the pioneering and independent start up to kill ‘range anxiety’ and facilitate mass adoption. “Climate-KIC has proven to be incredibly valuable to us. The space, the support, the masterclasses and the grant have really helped us to structure our thoughts and find the real value that PlugSurfing can add. I think that the programme has had a huge impact on our victory in the Challenge Cup pitching competition (in Washington DC) and the successful launch of the PlugSurfing app in June. We’re now concentrating on series A investment and hope to do Climate-KIC proud!” said Adam Woolway, Founder and CEO of PlugSurfing.


Green City Solutions developed a new way of outdoor advertisement. The CityTree is a customised solution for urban spaces designed under the criteria of sustainability. It combines a vertical plants display with air purification. The plants can be arranged freely on the CityTree to display visual information like colour logos or a QR-Code, which links to additional digital content. “We have a clear climate idea and the technical expertise for its implementation. We expect the Climate-KIC Accelerator to give us a boost in turning our idea and expertise into a real business. Since we have just started with Climate-KIC we look forward to explore this unique network of climate innovation opportunities and are so happy that we already won our first Climate-KIC competition.” said Dénes Honus, Founder Managing Partner of Green City Solutions.


Summer School participants had a jury vote



- Summer School participants: deep technical and entrepreneurial understanding -


The expert jury had to discuss hard which of the 5 competing start-ups (UNU and ONE Earth ONE Ocean from Munich, OneShore and PlugSurfing from Berlin and Green City Solutions from Desden) met the criteria of market attractiveness, climate impact and pitch quality best. Finally they chose PlugSurfing and Green City Solutions. On the same page was the audience whose vote also counted in the jury decision. 40 participants of Climate-KIC summer school “theJourney” not only had a say what two start-ups performed best but also challenged the presenters with informed technical and business related questions. ”Of course we know that the Climate-KIC education programmes like “the Journey” attract the smartest future climate innovators. However, we were really impressed by the technical understanding and entrepreneurial knowledge the students and PhDs showed when they questioned the competing start-ups. When we planned the competition we discussed whether or not to give the students a vote that could decide about win or lose. It was the right decision to do so. ” said Franka Birke, Climate-KIC Germany Entrepreneurship Lead.


The Jury

Members of the expert jury were: Malte Schneider (Director Climate-KIC Germany); Bianca Zwiebler (Climate-KIC Germany/UnternehmerTUM Acceleration Manager), Harald Jenull (UnternehmerTUM), Leonie Groß (Climate-KIC Germany Acceleration Manager), Jana Orth and Stephan Schulze (Venture Capitalist IBB Bet); Sander Nijssen (Start-up coach and entrepreneur). While Sander Nijssen was new to a Climate-KIC jury, IBB BET knows Climate-KIC’s Accelerator quite well: They already invested in two Climate-KIC start-ups after their time in the Accelerator (Thermondo and ECF Farmsystems).

The new technique represents a low-cost way to make small stereo speakers, miniature robots or motors

Researchers at Purdue University have created a magnetic “ferropaper” that might be used to make low-cost “micromotors” for surgical instruments, tiny tweezers to study cells and miniature speakers.

The material is made by impregnating ordinary paper — even newsprint — with a mixture of mineral oil and “magnetic nanoparticles” of iron oxide. The nanoparticle-laden paper can then be moved using a magnetic field.

“Paper is a porous matrix, so you can load a lot of this material into it,” said Babak Ziaie, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering.

The new technique represents a low-cost way to make small stereo speakers, miniature robots or motors for a variety of potential applications, including tweezers to manipulate cells and flexible fingers for minimally invasive surgery.

“Because paper is very soft it won’t damage cells or tissue,” Ziaie said. “It is very inexpensive to make. You put a droplet on a piece of paper, and that is your actuator, or motor.” ..."

Researchers @MIT, Microsoft, and Adobe have developed an algorithm that can reconstruct an audio signal by analyzing minute vibrations of objects depicted in video. In one set of experiments, they were able to recover intelligible speech from the vibrations of a potato-chip bag photographed from 15 feet away through soundproof glass.

In other experiments, they extracted useful audio signals from videos of aluminum foil, the surface of a glass of water, and even the leaves of a potted plant. The researchers will present their findings in a paper at this year’s Siggraph, the premier computer graphics conference.

“When sound hits an object, it causes the object to vibrate,” says Abe Davis, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and first author on the new paper. “The motion of this vibration creates a very subtle visual signal that’s usually invisible to the naked eye. People didn’t realize that this information was there.”

Joining Davis on the Siggraph paper are Frédo Durand and Bill Freeman, both MIT professors of computer science and engineering; Neal Wadhwa, a graduate student in Freeman’s group; Michael Rubinstein of Microsoft Research, who did his PhD with Freeman; and Gautham Mysore of Adobe Research.

Reconstructing audio from video requires that the frequency of the video samples — the number of frames of video captured per second — be higher than the frequency of the audio signal. In some of their experiments, the researchers used a high-speed camera that captured 2,000 to 6,000 frames per second. That’s much faster than the 60 frames per second possible with some smartphones, but well below the frame rates of the best commercial high-speed cameras, which can top 100,000 frames per second.


Commodity hardware

In other experiments, however, they used an ordinary digital camera. Because of a quirk in the design of most cameras’ sensors, the researchers were able to infer information about high-frequency vibrations even from video recorded at a standard 60 frames per second. While this audio reconstruction wasn’t as faithful as that with the high-speed camera, it may still be good enough to identify the gender of a speaker in a room; the number of speakers; and even, given accurate enough information about the acoustic properties of speakers’ voices, their identities. ..."

Shellfish researchers develop ‘self-healing’ acrylic - EPN - Aug 7, 2014
www.europeanplasticsnews.com/subscriber/newscat2.html?cat=1&…

"A biomedical-grade acrylic has been enhanced to ‘self-heal’ underwater, according to a US research team. Their technique took inspiration from the adhesive catechols proteins secreted by mussels.

Polymeric materials that intrinsically heal at damage sites under wet or moist conditions are urgently needed for biomedical and environmental applications, explained Herbert Waite, who conducted the work with colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

“Polymer self-healing research is about 10 years old now and many different strategies have been developed,” he explained. “None, however, address the need for healing in a wet medium – a critical omission as all biomaterials function, and fail, in wet environments.”

Waite and colleagues discovered a method for modifying the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) – (PMMA) – with catechols. A ‘healing process’ was triggered as the catechols provided multidentate hydrogen-bonding faces that prompted a network of hydrogen bonds to fix damage. "

Nanoclay-reinforced bioplastic, for automotive use - EPN - Aug 4, 2014
www.europeanplasticsnews.com/subscriber/newscat2.html?channe…

"A European consortium has developed new bioplastic materials based on PLA and nanoclays, suitable for the automotive sector. The ECOplast project, started in June 2010, has succeeded in its objective of developing materials from renewable resources with the performances required for automotive use.

During the four-year project, the ECOplast partners analysed different mixtures and processes, composites based on PHB (polyhydroxybutyrate, from microbial synthesis) reinforced with mats and fabrics of natural fibres, in particular.

A material based on PLA (polylactic acid, from starch) reinforced with nanoclays was also developed. It has been developed as a potential material for car interiors.

One other material, PBP, a synthesized polymer using proteins from silk, proved to have interesting properties but is not yet ready for the market.

The ECOplast project was co-funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union and included 13 partners including universities, manufacturers and converters from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands and Finland. "

Plastics made from algae, cultivated by industrial CO2 - EPN - ug Mar 14, 2014
www.europeanplasticsnews.com/subscriber/newscat2.html?cat=1&…

"Spanish research institute Aimplas, and 14 European partners, have launched a project that aims to cultivate microalgae in photobioreactors, which need only sunlight and industrial CO2 emissions, to produce different products for the chemical industry.


The European Commission financed project, Bisigodos, is a 7th Framework Programme initiative that aims to select and cultivate new varieties of these organisms to produce artificial fuel and then commercialise the research through the company Biofuel Systems in Alicante, Spain.

The scope of the project and its ambitious objectives require the participation of partners from different fields.

In a first phase, the project activity includes the selection and cultivation of the best varieties of microalgae in photobioreactors from the laboratory which will also be optimised to achieve the highest possible volume of the product.

Microalgae have rapid growth rates in CO2-rich environments. Therefore, more than 150 tonnes of dry biomass per hectare can annually be produced in those photobioreactors. "

World’s 1st Carbon Fiber 3D Printer - MV - Jul 10, 2014

"Previously, only short fibers could be used in 3D printing, which limits strength and stiffness. However, the company MarkForged have just introduced introduced the Mark One printer, which can print parts from continuous carbon fibers.

MarkForged was founded by MIT aerospace engineer Greg Mark. After years of designing and manufacturing high-performance composite race car wings, he found a way to use 3D printing hardware to automate the composite layup process. He assembled a team of researchers and MarkForged was born.
According to the new company, the Mark One combines the limitless potential of 3D printing with the high-strength of carbon fiber. Its patent pending Composite Filament Fabricatio process is the first ever to enable 3D printing of continuous carbon fiber. CFF parts are up to 20 times stiffer than ABS plastic, five times stronger, and have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than 6061-T6 aluminum.




“We removed the strength limitations of 3D printed plastic parts,” said founder and CEO Greg Mark. “We designed the Mark One so that your best ideas come to life with the click of a button at your desk. And not just in form, but in function.”

The novel printer enables designers to 3D print functional parts that would otherwise need to be CNC machined. The Mark One 3D-printing process, however, pledges to create finished parts, not just prototypes, that match the strength and durability of those molded or machined from high-performance composites.

“The magic is in the printhead,” continued Mark. “The Mark One uses a dual extruder system that combines traditional 3D printing and CFF printing within a single part. Designers can choose between lightweight carbon fiber, low-cost fiberglass, or the newly announced Kevlar for puncture and abrasion resistance. The printer also supports traditional 3D printing with nylon and PLA plastic.”

Until now the Mark One was only available as limited pre-sale, but for the second half of 2014 MarkForged will start shipping. "

Australia: " ‘Critical Steam’ Solar Breakthrough" - IT/CSIRO - Aug14
www.innovationtoronto.com/2014/07/australia-critical-steam-s…

"For the first time ever scientists have managed to use the Sun’s rays to create the same energy that is currently produced in coal or gas-fired power stations.


The breakthrough in Australia means one day the Sun could compete with fossil fuels to provide our energy needs.

Using solar energy, scientists have reached temperatures and pressures never before achieved to create “supercritical steam”.

“It’s like breaking the sound barrier,” said Dr Alex Wonhas from Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

“Instead of relying on burning fossil fuels to produce supercritical steam, this breakthrough demonstrates that the power plants of the future could instead be using the free, zero-emission energy of the Sun to achieve the same result.” "

Russland warnt den Westen, Moskau will mögliche Sanktionen erneut nicht unbeantwortet lassen - W/DPA, SOTSCHI/KIEV - Aug 9, 2014
http://web.de/magazine/nachrichten/ausland/ukraine-krise/192…

"Nach dem russischen Einfuhrverbot für Lebensmittel hat Moskau den Westen vor einer weiteren Zuspitzung der Krise gewarnt. Sollten die EU und die USA im Ukraine-Konflikt neue Sanktionen gegen Russland verhängen, werde Moskau reagieren, sagte Kremlsprecher Dmitri Peskow am Samstag in Sotschi. Russland hatte zuletzt etwa ein Überflugverbot für ausländische Airlines nicht ausgeschlossen. Peskow wies ukrainische Vorwürfe einer militärischen Provokation an der Grenze zurück. "Es gab keine Versuche russischer Truppen, auf ukrainisches Territorium zu gelangen", sagte er.


Wladimir Putin startet Arktisprojekt

Die prowestliche Führung in Kiew warf Moskau hingegen "aggressive Militärmanöver" vor. Eine große Kolonne von Armeefahrzeugen sei bis fast auf ukrainisches Gebiet vorgedrungen, sagte der Vizechef der Präsidialverwaltung in Kiew, Waleri Tschaly. "Sie wollten den totalen Konflikt provozieren", meinte er. Der ukrainische Präsident Petro Poroschenko habe die Militärführung zu Beratungen einberufen.

Inmitten wachsender Spannungen mit dem Westen erteilte Kremlchef Wladimir Putin einem russisch-amerikanischen Milliardenprojekt in der rohstoffreichen Arktis grünes Licht. Putin startete per Videokonferenz demonstrativ eine Ölplattform, die von den Energiegiganten Rosneft und ExxonMobil verwaltet wird. Mit Verweis auf die gegenseitigen Strafmaßnahmen Russlands und des Westens betonte er in Sotschi, die internationale Wirtschaft zeige mit dem Projekt "Pragmatismus und gesunden Menschenverstand". Dies sei angesichts "momentaner politischer Probleme" erfreulich.


Separatisten zu Feuerpause bereit

In der umkämpften Ostukraine gingen unterdessen die Gefechte zwischen den Regierungseinheiten und prorussischen Aufständischen mit großer Härte weiter. Die Aufständischen teilten mit, sie seien zu einer Feuerpause bereit. Während einer befristeten Waffenruhe sollten Zivilisten das Konfliktgebiet verlassen, zudem könnten Verwundete versorgt werden. Die Regierung in Kiew reagierte zunächst nicht auf das Angebot.

Innerhalb von 24 Stunden seien 13 Regierungssoldaten getötet worden, teilte der Sicherheitsrat in Kiew mit. Bereits am Freitag waren 15 Armeeangehörige ums Leben gekommen. Granatsplitter töteten in Lugansk ein sechsjähriges Mädchen, wie die Behörden mitteilten. Sechs weitere Zivilisten wurden verletzt. In Donezk starb bei Schießereien ein Mann, der zwischen die Fronten geraten war.

Granaten beschädigten erneut zahlreiche Wohnhäuser. In Lugansk waren weiter Hunderttausende ohne Strom und Wasser. "Die Lage bleibt kritisch", teilte der Stadtrat mit. Kremlsprecher Peskow forderte die Führung in Kiew mit Nachdruck auf, eine humanitäre Katastrophe im Osten zu verhindern. Russland sei zutiefst beunruhigt über die Lage.

Wegen der Kämpfe ruht auch die Arbeit am Absturzort des malaysischen Flugzeugs MH-17. "Die Front führt direkt über das Trümmerfeld. Die Situation ist wie Treibsand - die Lage ändert sich stündlich", sagte der Vizechef des OSZE-Einsatzes, Alexander Hug, in einem Interview der Nachrichtenagentur dpa in Wien. Die Beobachter der Organisation für Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (OSZE) wollten schnell zurückkehren. Es gehe darum, das 35 Quadratkilometer große Gebiet bei Grabowo für Experten abzusichern. "Wir sind Wegbereiter", sagte Hug.

Auf dem von proeuropäischen Demonstranten seit Monaten besetzten Unabhängigkeitsplatz (Maidan) in Kiew entfernten Reinigungskräfte weitere Barrikaden. "Es ist jetzt an der Zeit dazu", sagte Bürgermeister Vitali Klitschko. Immer mehr Bewohner der Millionenmetropole würden sich über das Zeltlager beschweren. Zahlreiche Demonstranten widersprachen lautstark und entzündeten zum Protest Autoreifen. Bei Zusammenstößen wurden drei Männer verletzt. "

Westen erhöht Druck auf Putin, Intervention Russlands in Ukraine führe zu "zusätzlichen Konsequenzen", Westen warnt Moskau vor "humanitärer" Intervention in Ukraine - W/DPA, WASHINGTON/BERLIN/KIEV - Aug 10, 2014
http://web.de/magazine/nachrichten/ausland/19200524-westen-w…

"In einem Telefongespräch mit seinem russischen Kollegen Sergej Lawrow machte US-Außenminister John Kerry am Samstag deutlich, dass internationale Organisationen dafür am besten geeignet seien. Russland solle davon absehen, "unter dem Vorwand der Friedenssicherung zu intervenieren", sagte Kerry nach Angaben des US-Außenministeriums.

In diesem Punkt hatten sich zuvor bereits US-Präsident Barack Obama und Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel in einem Telefonat abgestimmt. Beide hätten darin übereingestimmt, "dass jede russische Intervention, auch zu angeblichem humanitären Zweck, ohne die förmliche, ausdrückliche Zustimmung und Genehmigung der Regierung der Ukraine inakzeptabel ist (...) und zu zusätzlichen Konsequenzen führen würde", teilte das Weiße Haus in Washington mit. Diese Einschätzung vertraten auch US-Vizepräsident Joe Biden und der ukrainische Präsident Petro Poroschenko in einem Telefonat.


Ukraine würde Engagement Deutschlands begrüßen

Nach Angaben des Bundespresseamts telefonierte Merkel ebenfalls mit Poroschenko über russische Pläne, einen humanitären Konvoi in die Ostukraine zu entsenden. Man habe darin übereingestimmt, dass ein solcher Konvoi nur unter der Ägide des Internationalen Komitees vom Roten Kreuz und mit Zustimmung der ukrainischen Regierung stattfinden könnte.

Das Präsidialamt in Kiew teilte mit, die Führung der Ukraine würde ein mögliches Engagement des Internationalen Roten Kreuzes und der Bundesregierung begrüßen. Den Angaben aus Kiew zufolge geht es vor allem um die Großstadt Lugansk, in der Hunderttausende seit Tagen ohne Strom und Wasser ausharren sollen.

Nach dem russischen Einfuhrverbot für Lebensmittel warnt Moskau den Westen vor einer weiteren Zuspitzung der Krise. Sollten die EU und die USA im Ukraine-Konflikt neue Sanktionen gegen Russland verhängen, werde Moskau reagieren, sagte Kremlsprecher Dmitri Peskow am Samstag in Sotschi.
