Biofuels Digest 6/20/2008 - 2008/06/21 06:12 pmNote the last paragraph of the article.
Sustainable Power’s 10 percent biojet fuel blend gets green light
In Texas, Sustainable Power announced that its 10 percent biojet fuel blend had been successfully tested in conjunction with AmSpec Services and an undisclosed major domestic US airline. Tests concluded that the blend had met and exceeded current jet fuel specifications, providing the company with a viable entry into the 18 billion gallon commercial aviation fuel market. A link to view the laboratory test results has been posted here.
Sustainable Power’s bioreactors utilize the Rivera process to produce bio-crude from algae, palm fruit, coconuts, and other industrial or food waste. Sustainable Power is the exclusive licensee of the Rivera process, originally developed by US Sustainable Energy (USSE.PK).
Growing popularity of biocrude The popularity of biocrude, or synthetic crude oil, has been increasing rapidly in recent months as policymakers and investors struggle to solve the increasing infrastructure and land-use issues of first-generation biofuels and feedstocks.
“By using waste, [it] overcomes the food versus fuel debate which surrounds biofuels generated from grains, corn and sugar,” says Dr. Stephen Loffler of CSIRO, Australia’s national science laboratory. CSIRO recently announced the development of a second-generation biocrude process, in conjunction with researchers at Monash University.
Biocrude offers substantial promise not only for its use of low-impact, sustainable. carbon-neutral feedstocks, but because it can use the existing refining, marketing and distribution system of the petroleum industry. For that reason, biocrude has become an increasingly favored biofuel not only among policymakers and investors, but among the major oil companies. Shell Oil and Chevron have both commenced biocrude development, and companies such as LS9, UOP, Syntroleum and the LiveFuels consortium have firmly entrenched themselves as the second wave of biocrude development, behind Sustainable Power.
“It’s a trend,” said Will Thurmond, author of Biodiesel 2020, and a leading authority on global biomass development. “The Chinese, among others, see biocrude as a 1.5 generation biofuel that, gets us out of many of the problems associated with first generation fuels, and while we are waiting for second-generation fuels like cellulosic ethanol.”
Numerous entrants into biocrude development The LiveFuels consortium “is a national alliance of labs and scientists dedicated to transforming algae into biocrude by 2010″, according to the consortium’s website. The scientific alliance will be led by Sandia National Laboratories, a U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory. The alliance is expected to sponsor dozens of labs and hundreds of scientists by the year 2010.
“We believe Sandia has the strengths needed to lead the alliance in its early growth phase,” said Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones, CEO of LiveFuels. “Sandia is a DOE laboratory managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and possesses expertise in process engineering, biocience and biotechnology. Sandia is also home to the DOE Combustion Research Facility, a unique science and engineering user facility which can test the combustion characteristics of the biocrude produced by the LiveFuels alliance.”
LS9 was cofounded by molecular geneticists Dr. George Church of Harvard University and Dr. Chris Somerville of the University of California. LS9’s technology uses designer enzymes to convert fatty acid intermediates into petroleum replacement products via fermentation of renewable sugars. LS9 was recently honored at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland for its work in biocrude.
UOP, a division of Honeywell, announced last June that it expected to develop military aviation jet fuel, using a synthetic biocrude made from algae. The UOP project is backed by $6.7 million in funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). UOP is working with Honeywell Aerospace, Cargill, Arizona State University, Sandia National Laboratories and Southwest Research Institute on the project.
The National Renewable Energy Labortatory (NREL), in Golden, Colorado, re-started its algae research project last October in partnership with Chevron, although it is not clear whether NREL will explore biocrude as an alternative to algae-based biodiesel. NREL ran an project exploring the development of biodiesel from algae between 1978 and 1996.
ConocoPhillips and Archer Daniels Midland Company announced last September that they would collaborate on the development of renewable transportation fuels from biomass. The ConocoPhillips process— similar to one under investigation by Neste Oil, converts oils and fats to a synthetic, hydrocarbon diesel fuel that burns cleaner and has a reduced aromatic content than conventional diesel, but meets existing specifications for the fuel. ConocoPhillips also funded an eight-year, $22.5 million research project at Iowa State University, with a focus on conversion of biomass to fuel through fast pyrolysis.
Despite the significant levels of development activity, Sustainable Power has been the first to produce fuel in a commercial setting. The company’s fuel production is certified by Amspec, which maintains a facility at the company’s Baytown Green Energy Consortium facility.

Barrettjet Adds His Comments - 2008/06/28 12:08 pmBarrettjet adds his comments to the Summary. To refresh your memory, bj is a pilot, he personally flies JR and his guests when JR needs to travel. BJ has seen this first hand, especially in South America.
by Barrettjet:
A very good post spec. It is hard for most of us to remember exactly what we heard. I would like to add my comments now that this much is public information.
* SSTP a "Green" energy producer.
* Make Petroleum grade fuels. YES JR DOES. I HAVE SEEN THE DOCS AND HELD THE FUELS IN MY HANDS. NOW LET'S SEE PRODUCTION.
* Utilize Agricultural Waste, a Non-Food Feedstock. YES, I HAVE SEEN THE OUTPUT FROM SOY, PALMWASTE AND JATROPHA.
* Recently got all Certifications for Jet Fuel, Gasoline, Diesel Blend Stocks. TRUE AND THEY HAVE BEEN POSTED.
* In Baytown building 3 Million Gallon/Day Facility. TRUE, IT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE"COWPASTURE". DIRT WORK HAS BEEN UNDERWAY ON A MASSIVE SCALE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS;. i HAVE HAD THE 4 WHEELER TOUR.
* 2 Reactors now running, expect 2 more within 90 days, for total of 4 Reactors producing 24,000 Gallons/Day. THEY ARE GOING WITH TWO REACTORS BECAUSE STOPPING NOW AND REDESIGNING THE FEED SYSTEM AND THE OUTPUT WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR DELAY. IMO
* Unique process, Not Biodiesel, NOT Ethanol. LOTS OF CONFUSION ON THE BOARD ... SOME INTENTIONAL ABOUT THESE TERMS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE BIODIESEL OR ETHANOL BUT SOME ON THIS BOARD ATTACK JR FOR NOT HAVING THE PERMITS TO DO SO.
* Meet or exceed all ASTM Standards for Petroleum Gasoline, Diesel, Jet Fuel. AMSPEC SEZ SO.
* Gasoline is Certified as a Blend Stock, to produce High Test and Regular Gasoline. AMSPEC SEZ SO.
* No modifications to any engine needed to operate on SSTP Fuels. IF THE FUEL MEETS THE SPECS WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO MODIFY THE ENGINE?
* Yields 2,3,4 times the yields of any other producers. AMSPEC AND MANY TEST RUNS HAVE PRODUCED 5.7 GALLONS PER 60 LBS OF FEEDSTOCK.
* Goal is to wipe out importation of foreign fuels. NOTE TO DYNA: HE DIDN'T SAY WIPEOUT EXXON OR ANYONE ELSE. HE SAID "ELIMINATE IMPORTS"
* Building 1Million Square Foot building, to house 400 Reactors, which will produce enough Fuels for a 523 Megawatt power plant + 3 Million Gallons/Day of Fuels. SEE "COWPASTURE". THEY ARE MOVING REAL DIRT ON AN APPROVED INDUSTRIAL SITE WITH REAL $$$.
* Goal is to distribute gasoline in Baytown within 90 days. JR REITERATED HIS PROMOTIONAL GOAL. MOST OF US WISH HIM SUCCESS. WE DON'T KNOW HOW HE WILL DO IT BUT HE KNOWS.
* Gasoline price to be $1 under current prices. WHO WANTS $3 GASOLINE?
* Also building a steel foundry, to utilize power plant electricity during off-peak hours. FIRST I HEARD OF THIS ONE. THE IDEA OF MAKING CEMENT DURING THE NIGHT SHIFT HAS OCCURED AND POWERING DOWN TO 50% AT OFFPEAK TIMES WITH A TURBINE CONBINED CYCLE PLANT IS STANDARD.
* Building a 1 Giga watt power plant in Guatemala. THAT HAS BEEN THE PLAN FOR MONTHS BY ALL PARTIES.
* Baytown partner (L. Sole) has 2,500,000,000 pounds of agricultural waste Feedstock, sitting on the ground right now. LSOLE' HAS BEEN FEEDING ALL THEY CAN TO ABOUT 400 STEAM BOILERS FOR YEARS. THEY HAVE A LARGE AMONT OF FEEDSTOCK THAT CAN BE RUN TROUGH THE REACTORS AND TRIPLE THE OUTPUT. * The 2.5 B lbs, of Feedstock is enough to operate 1,800 Reactors for 3 years.NOT TRUE. OBVIOUSLY AN ERROR IN MATH. NOT INTENTIONAL IMO
* We are building a facility in the Dominican Republic. WAS WAITING ON FAVORABLE POLITICS., NOT DEAD DEAL. Also heard Norway mentioned. YES AND THEY HAVE VISITED. THEY WANT MEGAWATTS.
* Favorable Financing is in place, speeds up his timetable dramatically. Enough Funds to develop United States for next 3 years, Europe, Central America, South America, all at the same time BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT. I SEE MUCH HAPPENNING IN BAYTOWN SO SOMETHING IS PAYING FOR IT.
* USSE/SSTP will maintain 100% control of their catalyst. ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE PLAN. THEY MAY ONLY LEASE THE REACTORS LIKE HUGHES TOOL DID THE DRILLBITS.
* Goal is Baytown fully operational in 18 months. IF HE HAS THE MONEY AND LSOLE' ASSISTANCE IT IS A VERY REASONABLE GOAL.
* Permits are in place .I DON'T KNOW AND NEITHER DOES DYNA/ONEIRON. WHEN YOU SEE THE FUEL FLOW YOU CAN BET ON IT.
* Interconnect Applications are in. WHY NOT
THOSE ARE MY OPINIONS AND I WAS THERE IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND AT SOME OF THE ACTUAL MEETINGS I AM ALSO AWARE OF MEETINGS AND AGREEMENTS THAT HAPPENED. I HAVE SEEN THE PROGRESS IN BAYTOWN AND REPORTED WHAT I SAW. I DON'T KNOW IF JR EVER SAID FOUR TUBES PRODUCING ON THE 1ST OF MAY. I KNOW I SAID IT ... BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PEOPLE THAT BUILD AND OPERATE THE REACTORS. THAT WAS THEIR OPINION AND SOMEHOW IT WAS DELAYED.
SO JR MAKES AN AUDIO INTERVIEW AND IS IMMEDIATELY CALLED A LIAR. LOOK AT THE MONIKERS OF THE ACCUSERS AND YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE THE SAME BASHERS WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INFESTED WITH. THE ONLY MISTAKE/MIS-STATEMENT I SEE IS THE MATH ERROR AND IT QUALIFIES AS A WHOPPER. HAHAHA BJ
( just in case you didn't have the link yet, look for the bottom right of the page and click to the last page or the posts starting at about page 166...)
I called Sustainable Power several times today to see if I could get lucky and the fourth time was the charm, I actually reached JR!
Whew... the man must be sprinkling plutonium on his breakfast cereal in the morning, he's so energized! And yet, he's still very composed and confident. Speaking with him is a remarkable and exhilarating experience!
All the irons he has in the fire (many of which of course, he could not discuss), are glowing hotter and hotter. Generally speaking... from his financials to his plans for the property, from refinery building to vertroleum production to electrical generation, from specific blends of jet fuel, biogasoline, and diesel, the permits and the plans are proceeding like a whirlwind.
The people, agencies, and countries that are calling out of the blue or just showing up are amazing everyone. The P.R. pipeline is growing and a lot of good news IS coming soon, but one thing at a time and in the proper order. JR has been surrounding himself with excellent people the past year, and all are making a solid contribution. As vonitsa pointed out last evening, JR is being very careful when and how he releases information
I did get to ask about the Steel Foundry... evidently, a successful, knowledgeable, experienced fellow who's been in the steel industry for 30 years is taking point on that project because opportunity knocked, and JR opened the door! It's THAT simple. Those of you who are unable to process the possibilities merely because you can't see or entertain them (or know anything about it!)--that's o.k., just go take a xanax and get some rest. Those of you who have seen fit to just sit back, take potshots, mock, and ridicule are saying SO much more about yourselves than John it's just.... mind-boggling. The steel mill plans sound EXTREMELY exciting... They've already got their whole approach and strategy laid out!
On any given day, one can pick up some useful DD on the various stock message boards, and on another day, it's like the critics have all come together to pool their ignorance.
Ah well... SSTP is a ship that's getting ready to set sail whether many of you believe it or not. Keep firing the spitwads, they're just bouncing off the hull...
Mr. Rivera and EVERYBODY in orbit around him, are working very, very hard to make this vision a reality and it IS happening. I thanked Mr. Rivera for all his hard work and that of his associates on behalf of all the shareholders.
