School Districts Join ECCO2 Program to Fight War on Carbon Emissions Reduction in America

July 22nd, 2010

July 22, 2010 – Austin, TX - Over 90 independent school districts throughout the United States have joined ECCO2′s war on carbon emissions reduction by using the ECCO2 and ECO systems patent technology on their school buses and fossil fuel boilers within their facilities.

Currently, there are over 12,000 school buses that have been using the ECCO2 and ECO systems products for the last 7 years. The ECO Systems device results include reduction of carbon emissions by as much as 90%, (according to municipal emissions reports) and better fuel economy by as much as 10%.

The ECCO2 program makes it possible for each school district to receive and install the ECCO2 product in every school vehicle and facility now that funding opportunities through grant and rebate programs offered by ECCO2 are becoming available.

Cary Lee Peterson, President of Fuel Concepts Pty Limited and DBS Distributors, Inc. comments, “I feel very honored to be able to say ECCO2 is helping schools whom play a substantial role in educating and nurturing our youth. We achieve several matters with ECCO2; We lower the amount of harmful greenhouse gases that our children are exposed to; Secondly, we reduce the amount of fuel consumption. This allows for the extra money saved to go back into the school districts’ budgets.  I would encourage other school districts to join the ECCO2 Program in our war on carbon. We currently have a handful of school districts already participating, however my target would be to have at least 1,000 school districts active with ECCO2 by the end of 2012.”

The current school districts participating in the ECCO2 Program will contribute to over 40 million metric tons of carbon emission offsets (equivalent to 40 million carbon credits with current market value of an estimated $1 billion) through 2020. This will create over 1200 direct and indirect jobs related ECCO2 Program and Texas independent school districts. ECCO2 anticipates to influence more school districts to “Go Green” and follow the active school districts that have already been participating in the ECCO2 Program.

Landscaping is Important in Green Development

July 22nd, 2010

Anirban Banerjee has said that one of the most obvious considerations would be landscaping a green development. “But few considerations at the landscaping design stage would make a project greener than the average green,” he added.

In a press release , Mr Banerjee said, “One should try to use native or adapted trees and plants on the roof. This type of greenery absorbs heat, helping to increase occupant comfort and lower air-conditioning costs by bringing down interior temperatures and providing shade. Green roofs also provide extra insulation in colder weather.” He again added , “Both inside a workspace and outside a building, there are numerous steps one can take to reduce the use of clean, drinkable water.”

Mr Benerjee who heads the design department of iDream, a leading Indian interior and architecture company, said, “Landscaping should be done with plants that are well adapted to the local climate. Choosing indigenous plants over exotic varieties can help reduce the need for irrigation, as well as environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Invasive non-native plants can harm the local ecology.”

According to him, choosing a micro-irrigation system also known as drip irrigation or trickle irrigation, instead of traditional sprinklers, to deliver water to grounds works more efficiently. During watering, micro-irrigation delivers 85 to 90 percent of the moisture supply to plants, compared with just 40 to 50 percent delivery for typical broadcast sprinklers.

The Landscaping expert at iDream said that, “watering plants and grass with rainwater from an on-site cistern will dramatically limit the use of potable water, an increasingly precious and expensive resource in most parts of the country”. “Planting low-water ground covers or drought-tolerant grass and using absorbent soil mixtures to promote stormwater infiltration will reduce additional costs related to managing storm water,” he added.

Easy Steps to Being Green at Work

July 22nd, 2010

A variety of large manufacturers like Rubbermaid and Ware 4 Recycling Bins realized the worth of looking into their environmental influence and checking their products’ quality using sustainable and environmentally sound manufacturing.

The following will enable you to  find a policy for the full lifecycle of sustainable RCP recycling items going from manufacturing to packaging & delivery and final use.

Life Cycle Policy

Design

* All products must be designed & tested so that they are of the best possible quality and durability for a long lifespan with minimal replacement and maintenance expenses.

* Products need to encourage proper and easy recycling.

* They ought to be made to function and last in their set environment which might be anywhere; internal, external, medical, professional or warehouse.

Raw Materials

* Materials must be sourced in order to reach demanding quality and environmental standards

* Every product, plastic, aluminium or steel, must be entirely recyclable

* No use of heavy metals when making plastic colourants

* Ample choice of Rubbermaid bins to hold a large percentage of post-consumer recycled content

Manufacturing

* Manufacturing inside the United States sending cargo to a British warehouse and later distributing.

* All factories must have no emissions and all failing products following production inspections will be ground again and used a second time.

Picking & Packaging

* After an order has gone through processing products can be picked using a complex automated system of big fork lift trucks in addition to conveyor belts

* Each product must be separately bar-coded to track its movement from order to despatch with the minimum of human intervention. This ensures a rapid turnaround of all orders within five work days or less

* Goods get wrapped and placed onto pallets together so that packaging use is reduced

* Packaging needs to be made so that it uses limited material and more recycled or recyclable content. Packaging will also need to be mostly recyclable

* Every pallet delivery need to offer the option to handball the items off and sending back the pallet to the courier

Transportation

* Distributors ought to be able to arrange deliveries direct at the warehouse so that transport distances are reduced and hence fuel use, harm to the environment and release of CO2

* Items need to be packed together and supplied in bulk in one-drop deliveries

Recycling

* Goods have to be in agreement with the goals outlined in the Environmental Policy and Environmental Management System through quality and longevity.

* Items are recyclable but should be tough enough to get reused over and over – recycled recycling bins!

* Elements including lids and bases have to be available for individual sales to reduce replacement costs and to motivate re-use of existing items.

* A no-cost collection service may be offered for items that are no longer wanted so they can be used a second time or recycled in the right way.

E & D Services seeks principals who wil combat pollution from abandoned mines

November 3rd, 2009

Officials from E & D Services identified key sites within the country that have been abandoned and may be causing environmental problems, E & D is seeking to help fix these problem sites with business plan options

E & D Officials identified a key site on the Spokane Indian Reservation earlier this week that poses a significant threat to visitors health in Washington State. E & D Officials have announced that principals seeking to better the environment by fixing pollution problem similar to that of Midnite Mine would have competitive business plan options available for principals looking to begin a project to combat this problem.

People who visit the Midnite Mine should limit their time there to reduce the chances of being exposed to contaminants, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). ATSDR is seeking public comments on its draft public health assessment. Comments on the report are being accepted through July 20, 2009.

E & D Officials urged the private sector to step forward, and if any principals were in need of development to help facilitate this cause E & D would lend a hand.

The Midnite Mine site is an inactive open-pit mine located on the Spokane Indian Reservation near Wellpinit, WA. Many people visit the mine area for traditional or subsistence activities. The site includes the mined area, mine roads built with gravel from waste rock, and areas to the south that receive drainage from the mined area. It also includes Blue Creek and groundwater in the mined area.

ATSDR found that coming into contact with contaminants at this site over a long period of time could harm the health of people who visit the area. The agency recommends that people not drink water from the site, including water from Blue Creek, and avoid eating plants or roots that grow in the area.

E & D  has been a vocal advocate of new mining techniques that could help eliminate these harmful by products in the future and has stated in official statements that such options would be available to principals seeking financing.

ATSDR was unable to determine if there is a danger from eating beef, deer or elk that graze in the site area, but advises people not to hunt large game in the mined or mining-affected areas.

Other recommendations include that people spend no more than one hour a day in the mined area. People are also advised not to swim or fish in Blue Creek.

ATSDR is also recommending further testing of fish, plants, and large game at the site for metals and radionuclides.

The public health assessment document is available for review at the following location:

Spokane Tribal College Library
9202 Old School Road
Wellpinit, WA 99040

Phone: 509-258-9202

E & D affirmed its commitment to help better the environment and stated business plan options would be made available for those seeking them.

E & D Services promotes USDA’s Forest Service to conserve at risk forests

November 3rd, 2009

E & D announced earlier that there would be a limited amount of business development slots open for the private sector that wish to work with the USDA Forest Service to conserve our country’s forests

In Vermont earlier this year, U.S. Forest Service Chief Gail Kimbell, announced the award of $50 million in grants to permanently protect twenty-four working forests across twenty-one states, through the Forest Legacy Program. This program permanently protects important private forestland threatened by conversion.

E & D Services has taken a very informative approach to allow funding slots open for private sector persons who desire to aid in this effort.

“The Forest Legacy Program conserves open space which allows us to respond to climate change, improves water quality and flows and connects children to nature,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“It’s important for the people of this country to consider protecting our nation’s land. Not all projects have to be monetary driven, when applying to us. They simply must demonstrate a purely humanitarian concept according to the guidelines we put forth.” said a rep from E & D.

Examples of 2009 projects include: forest essential for wildlife and recreation in Maine; pine ecosystem critical for threatened and endangered species in Arkansas and working forests that support rural jobs in Oregon.

E & D Services has been a very advocate of The Forest Legacy Program and desires to see more projects come from private sector companies that work to better these similar causes.

The Forest Legacy Program promotes voluntary land conservation by operating on the principle of “willing buyer, willing seller.” Private forest landowners are facing increasing real estate prices, property taxes and development pressure, which result in conversion of forests to other land uses. The Forest Legacy Program focuses on conserving working forests – those that provide clean water, forest products, fish and wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.

Most Forest Legacy Program projects are conserved through conservation easements, allowing landowners to keep their forestlands while protecting them from future development.

For 2009, the Forest Service selected 24 projects out of 83 excellent state proposals that totaled $193 million. Details of the President’s 2010 budget released this week show 47 projects proposed with an increase in funding to more than $91 million.

The Forest Legacy Program uses a national competitive process to select the most ecologically and socially important, threatened and strategic projects. The program consistently leverages more than a 50-percent non-federal match, well above the 25-percent requirement. In addition, each project needs to be at least 75% forested, comply with Federal appraisal standards and complete a multi-resource forest management plan.

E & D Services maintains business development options for promotion of projects that aid the Forest Legacy Programs goals, objectives, and conservation efforts.

Knight Investments LLC vows support of Renewable Energy Development by US Dept of the Interior

November 3rd, 2009

Officials from Knight Investments LLC recently offered their support by extending business development options in benefit of those seeking to help with causes similar to the US Department of the Interiors Goals with Renewable Energies.

Knight Investments LLC Officials recently convened to discuss the dependence on foreign oil and the path that was possible to be paved by the private sector. KI Officials discussed the possibilities of what private sector companies could do to improve these measures and how budget appropriations could further this cause. The recent US Department of the Interior had critical citations of the nations dependence on foreign oil.

Citing the critical need to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, build a clean energy economy and create new jobs, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today issued a Secretarial Order making the production, development, and delivery of renewable energy top priorities for the Department.

“More so than ever, with job losses continuing to mount, we need to steer the country onto a new energy path,” Salazar said. “One that creates new jobs and puts America out front in new, growing industries, one that promotes investment and innovation here at home and one that makes wise use of our domestic resources.”

Knight Investments LLC offered a strong support on the recent remarks laid by the Secretary, and agreed to help realize that goal of a new energy path.

In addition to making renewable energy production a top priority for the Department, Salazar’s Secretarial order establishes an energy and climate change task force that will spur this agenda and identify specific zones on U.S. public lands where Interior can facilitate a rapid and responsible move to large-scale production of solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy.

For these renewable energy zones to succeed, Salazar pointed out, Interior will need to work closely with other federal agencies, states and American Indian tribes to determine what electric transmission infrastructure and transmission corridors are needed to deliver these renewable resources to major population centers.

“We will assign a high priority to identifying renewable energy zones and completing the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers,” Salazar said. “We have to connect the sun of the deserts and the wind of the plains with the places where people live.”

Knight Investments LLC affirmed that their underwriting department would be looking favorably on projects that were in promotion of the suns of the lower Midwest, and the wind plains across America.

Interior manages one fifth of the country’s landmass, over 1.7 billion offshore acres, and lands with some of the highest renewable energy potential in the nation. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management has identified about 21 million acres of public land with wind energy potential in the 11 western states and about 29 million acres with solar energy potential in the six southwestern states. There are also 140 million acres of public land in western states and Alaska that have geothermal resource potential.

In addition, there is significant wind and wave energy potential offshore. The National Renewable Energy Lab has identified more than 1,000 gigawatts of wind potential off the Atlantic coast, and more than 900 gigawatts of wind potential off our Pacific Coast.

The task force will prioritize the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers. The task force will work to resolve obstacles to renewable energy permitting, siting, development, and production.

Knight Investments LLC voiced their support for the new formation of the task force and said that prioritizing permitting for these causes was an utmost importance.

To help accomplish these goals, Interior may need to revise existing policies or create new policies, Salazar said, citing as examples the Geothermal, Wind, and West-Wide Corridors Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements and their respective Records of Decisions. Interior will also finalize a regulation for offshore renewable development.

Salazar explained that the Department of the Interior will continue to responsibly develop oil and gas resources on public lands. “In the last six weeks we have had five major oil and gas lease sales onshore, netting more than $32 million in revenue for taxpayers. And next week, I will be traveling to New Orleans to participate in a lease sale for the Central Gulf of Mexico. These will add important resources to our domestic energy production.”

Knight Investments LLC spokesmen stated that these causes could be greatly assisted by the private sector and offered their affirmation to help to improve the US Department of the Interior’s goals.

E & D Services encourage business development for companies looking to help reduce US Air Pollution

October 29th, 2009

Staff members from E & D Services have been encouraging local experts to begin projects in the private sector to assist the reduction of air pollution.”

National air quality has improved since the 1990′s, but many challenges remain in protecting public health and the environment from air quality problems. Air pollution in the United States poses a public health threat affecting potentially millions of people throughout the country noted representatives from E & D Services.

E & D representatives have stated that it is associated with health problems that include increased emergency department visits and hospitals stays for breathing and heart problems, asthma, and increases in illnesses such as pneumonia and bronchitis.

“We want to encourage qualified principals to begin projects that actively seek to reduce this problem in the US. If we can help them with their business plan that is great too, but we really are more for the cause.” said Miss Derisma of E & D Services.

Tracking air pollution can help people understand how often they are exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution. Having these data can also help public health professionals or policymakers understand which areas may be most in need of prevention and control activities.

E & D has taken a few excerpts from the Center of Disease Control and stated a tad bit of information that can help others recognize the problems as well.:

Ozone – Days Above Regulatory Standard

The number of days in which the daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentration exceeds a standard provides an indication of short-term spikes in ozone concentrations. This may give you an idea of how many days per year you may be exposed to unhealthy levels of ozone.

PM2.5 – Days Above Regulatory Standard

These data help summarize short-term trends in particle pollution concentrations. This may give you an idea of how many days per year you may be exposed to unhealthy levels of particulate matter.

Annual PM2.5 Level

These data help summarize long-term trends in particle pollution concentrations. This will give you an idea of what the yearly level of PM2.5 is in an area.

E & D Services hopes that with the recent push from our new president , increased awareness, and steadfast patrons air pollution will become a decreasing problem in the US. In the meanwhile staff members said they would be willing to help anyone develop their business plans to see this goal come to pass.

E & D Services work on business plan modules to help US Renewable Energy Companies

October 24th, 2009

Representatives from E & D Services discussed methods to design business plans that will best benefit the US based Renewable Energy sector earlier this mourning.

“Increasing energy consumption and a growing world population implies shrinking reserves of fossil fuels.” said Miss Derisma, principal and lead business plan designer of E & D Services.

This couldn’t be more true in an age where our population has climbed from less than 1 billion people worldwide in the early 1900′s to over 7 billion in just over a hundred years. Many people find it amazing that it could take millions of years for the human being to get to a billion, and then overnight (in the earth’s time line) multiply so rapidly. It is precisely these reasons however, why the world is in need of renewable energy.

The use of fossil fuels brings with it the problem of carbon dioxide emissions, an overall depletion in supply, and climate change. E & D Services has pointed out that our continued dependence on fossil fuels (coupled with the pressing global issue of climate change) has pushed the concept of renewable energy sources to the top of the agenda.

“In looking for alternative energy supplies, there is more to simply adding up the outputs,” according to Christopher Koroneos and Yanni Koroneos of the Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering, at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. “They argue that a whole life cycle assessment of any environmentally friendly energy supply must be carried out to ensure its green credentials are valid.”

Writing in Inderscience’s International Journal of Global Energy Issues, the researchers point out that land use and materials employed are just two aspects of renewable energy development that can have an adverse impact on the otherwise positive environmental picture.

There are three viable renewable energy resources, say the researchers – solar energy, wind power and geothermal energy. They have applied the techniques of life cycle assessment (LCA) to each in order to determine the total environmental impact and to compare this with the effects of equivalent energy release from fossil fuels.

This knowledge is what Miss Dersma and her team hope to convey when designing business plans for the average business owner in Florida.

The LCA approach allows an assessment to be made of the flow of material and energy used in the construction, operation and ultimate decommissioning of a renewable energy supply. It also takes into account the manufacturing of components, the possible extraction and supply of fuels as well as waste generated in these processes.

E & D has taken note that the researchers demonstrate that some renewable energy systems based on wind power and geothermal energy do have valid green credentials in electricity production. The efficiency of these systems is comparable over the complete life cycle than the equivalent fossil fuel system; however, the conversion of solar energy to electricity using photovoltaic solar cells is less efficient in terms of materials production, running, and recycling than non-renewable energy.

Some researchers of E & D have noted that economies of scale come into play with solar power and a large enough area of solar cells would outstrip the fossil fuel system.

The team also points out that the life cycle pollution of solar systems is much, much lower than any conventional system although thermodynamic efficiency is lower.

“A significant advantage of the use of renewable energy systems,” say the researchers, “is that they are environmentally friendly because overall they result in lower dangerous pollutant emissions, this and one other major factor, they are essentially inexhaustible.”

E & D Services recently announce design plan availability for wind power generator companies

October 24th, 2009

Earlier this week E & D Services began design templates for a few companies that manufacture wind power generators as their target audience. With renewable energies as today’s hot push E & D representatives are ready to contribute.”

E & D Services recently began the design of business plan designs for companies that manufacture wind power generators. Officials from E & D have encouraged the consumer base to look towards such generators because there are many applicable uses.

For instance if you are looking to get off the grid and stop depending on your power company for electricity there s another way by E & D standards.

“The cheapest way right now is wind energy, and the best way to get it into your house is to do it yourself! You can save thousands of dollars.” said Miss Derisma, Lead Business Plan Designer. “It is actually possible to contract small companies that can build your own wind power generator for your home.” she went on to continue.

E & D is seeing a great push for small businesses looking to supply this in their field of business and has elected to accept clients wishing to design these companies off of sound business plan models.

Reported by an E & D representative the ideal situation is an area that is 20ft higher than the nearest obstacle or building, and about 250-400 feet away. The average wind speed in North America is about 9-10m/s, which is great for using wind power.

Wind power is a great source of renewable energy. It is much cheaper than solar power per Watt, as a wind turbine can generate 1000W while a single solar panel generates around 100 in daylight.

The spinning energy in the blades is converted to electricity by a DC motor. It uses a powerful magnet to induce charge in wire. You can buy one for $50-$200 or so, depending on the size of your turbine, and what  your contracting company offers.

Another component of a wind power generator is the tower. You can either buy one or ask a qualified company to make one from scratch or recycle a tower.

Some people have contracted companies to build their own 500 watt turbines using homemade wind blades, a bought DC motor, recycled TV tower and grid connector. These systems can be made for under $300 in supplies if you do it right, and done in less than a week. On the other hand, kits can be bought for several thousand dollars and ready made turbines can be bought for as much as $3000-$6000.

The concept of wind power has been around for the long time but hasn’t much been implemented. It is fairly easy to build one yourself, and you’ll find that they work fantastically for your own home.

E & D officials stated that such knowledge would be sure to be incorporated in their clients designs and looked forward to a steady plan that offered their clients a definitive course.

Knight Investments LLC begin structuring of Quarter Million USD private loan for environment benefit

October 5th, 2009

Today marked the Underwriting Officials at Knight Investments LLC acceptance to structure a 250,000 USD Loan to a private based equity firm in Columbus Ohio”

Knight Investments LLC Officials met to discuss and answer the request to structure a 250,000 USD Loan between a private investor and a private equity firm looking to contribute loan towards first, second, and third generation renewable energy projects.

First-generation technologies emerged from the industrial revolution at the end of the 19th century and include hydropower, biomass combustion, and geothermal power and heat. Some of these technologies are still in widespread use. In particular Knight Investments LLC reviewed the Private Equity Firm’s strategy to target these resources specifically.

“First generation technologies are the ones that are most broadly recognized to work. They have been around for quite some time, and are easily showcased to investment banks, major banks, and private investors. We wanted to make sure before structuring the transaction that the feasibility of these funds would be appropriated correctly.” said Montelly Lopez Jr, Chief Financial Officer of Knight Investments LLC.

Second-generation technologies include solar heating and cooling, wind power, modern forms of bioenergy, and solar photovoltaics. These are now entering markets as a result of research, development and demonstration (RD&D) investments since the 1980s. The initial investment was prompted by energy security concerns linked to the oil crises of the 1970s but the continuing appeal of these renewables is due, at least in part, to environmental benefits. Many of the technologies reflect significant advancements in materials.

Officials from Knight Investments LLC stated that these were also a good source, and had been proven in limited scopes. The main obstacle with these technologies KI Officials stated were the lack of large scale projects, but as quoted by one of Knight’s Underwriters ,

“Just because 2nd Generation technologies are not powering entire cities like New York, doesn’t mean they are not capable of doing so. It just means that someone has yet to do it.”

Third-generation technologies are still under development and include advanced biomass gasification, biorefinery technologies, concentrating solar thermal power, hot dry rock geothermal energy, and ocean energy. Advances in nanotechnology may also play a major role. KI Officials stated that these technologies would be the hardest go get off the ground but said in light of the new Obama administration there are sure to be opportunities.

The main objectives stated by Knight Investments President Jayson Lopez was ” We have to ensure that advise is rendered on exactly how far 250,000 USD can go. While the average person may think anything over one hundred thousand is a lot of money, in this arena it’s really not.”

Knight Investments LLC work to structure 1 billion USD green energy project in the former USSR

October 5th, 2009

A international meeting was hosted earlier this weekend with key members from the Republic of Aquitaine, Private Sector Companies, and Regulatory Officials to discuss the feasibility of a 1 billion USD Ukraine Based Wind Energy Project”

Knight Investments LLC President Jayson Lopez recently began working with a Ukraine Based Wind Energy Project which was founded with the mission to install, operate, and maintain a Wind Power Station in Crimea, Ukraine with 250 wind turbines of 2 MW capacities each for a total capacity of 500 MW.

Assuming a conservative capacity factor of 30%, each wind turbine that the Ukraine Based Wind Energy Project  plans on installing is estimated to be capable of generating 5,250 MW of energy annually. There have already been plans for a State Company (Energorynok)

to purchase this energy at a tariff fixed until the year 2030 of 11.31 euro cents per kW. Therefore, each wind turbine can be expected to yield annual revenue of €600,000 ($820,000).

Knight Investments LLC Officials were very happy to help structure this project, and contributed approximately 50,000.00 USD in Development, Underwriting, and Compliance Submission documentation.

The Ukraine Based Wind Energy Project ’s vision is to be the largest, most efficient, and most profitable producer of wind energy in Ukraine, and to achieve a premium return for its investors, and to significantly reduce poverty and greenhouse gas emissions in Ukraine.

250 wind turbines can be expected to generate 1,312,500 MW of energy annually, yielding annual revenue of €150,000,000 $205,000,000).

The principals of the Ukraine Based Wind Energy Project  have extensive experience in company building and stewardship in renewable energy and other high‐tech industries. An even wider team of individuals within the principals’ networks, with expertise in all business disciplines within the renewable energy field, have expressed an interest in working for The Company upon acquisition of funding.

The power generation industry in Ukraine is very much a public‐private partnership, wherein investors, companies, Government utilities, regulatory agencies, and Government ministers closely collaborate on new power generation projects.

The principals of The Company have a network of relationships within all stakeholder
groups in Ukraine, which will reduce the barrier to penetration of the wind power eneration market, expedite the necessary approvals and permits, and overall ensure that the Government’s long‐term energy policies continue to favor The Company.

President Jayson Lopez called for a return to basic’s when analyzing projects of this scope and met with Baron Christopher Knight Lopez and other key members of the Aquitainian Knights to pull resources together for an estimated 1 billion USD project.

Revolutionary Eco Friendly Collapsible Water Bottle Launched by California Environment Products Company

October 2nd, 2009

California-based environment products company, The Best Bottle Company located on the web at TheBestBottle.com has launched a revolutionary recreational water bottle which can not only be reused over 1,000 times, but also folds neatly into any purse, briefcase, or small bag when empty. The product is environment friendly since it does not populate landfills after a single use.

San Francisco, Calif.

October 2, 2009 — The Best Bottle Company found on the web at TheBestBottle.com has launched a unique and innovative recreational water bottle made of durable material that is BPA-free and can be reused more than 1,000 times, according to a company announcement. When empty, the bottle folds neatly and can be easily stored in a purse, jacket pocket, gym bag or carry-on luggage. The sturdy design makes The Best Bottle an ideal companion for those who want the convenience of their own drinking water with them as often as possible.

Need of the Hour in a Super Toxic Environment

“Water is the elixir of life,” said Dr. Ryan Yip, Founder and President of The Best Bottle Company. “However, the methods we all use to carry  our drinking water leave a lot to be desired,” he said, adding that Americans not only throw away 2.5 MILLION plastic bottles every HOUR, of which 86% end up in US landfills, they squander 1.5 MILLION barrels of oil annually to make them. In addition, the largest landfill in the world floats in the middle of the Pacific ocean, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is twice the size of Texas, USA. Plastic constitutes 90 percent of all trash floating in the world’s oceans [source: LA Times].

The United Nations Environment Program estimated in 2006 that every square mile of ocean hosts 46,000 pieces of floating plastic [source: UN Environment Program]. In some areas, the amount of plastic outweighs the amount of plankton by a ratio of six to one.

Of the more than 200 billion pounds of plastic the world produces each year, about 10 percent ends up in the ocean [source: Greenpeace]. Seventy percent of that eventually sinks, damaging life on the ocean floor [source: Greenpeace]. The rest floats; much of it ends up in gyres and the massive garbage patches that form there, with some plastic eventually washing up on a distant shore. This problem is the focus of the Plastiki expedition, which is sailing a catamaran made from 20,000 plastic bottles around the globe and through the garbage patch. Moreover, every year, both industry and private citizens release 18 billion pounds of new pollutants and chemicals into the atmosphere, soil, and groundwater. As a result, today, the need to carry your own clean drinking water wherever you go has become paramount.

The Best Bottle is easy to clean, dishwasher-safe, and folds conveniently into a hockey puck shape for easy storage. Dr. Yip points out that in venues where there are security restrictions on carrying liquids, such as sporting events and airports, The Best Bottle is an ideal companion since it can be used to conveniently replenish your water supply from a tap or a water cooler.

The Best Bottle is the Best Solution

The planet’s drinking water repository is unsafe at every source. Worldwide, more than one billion people lack access to safe and clean drinking water. Estimates project that this figure will touch 2.3 billion by 2025. A staggering 3.4 million people die annually from diseases caused by consuming contaminated water. The practice of carrying one’s own clean drinking water in a non-disposable bottle that does not clog landfills is certainly a step in the right direction, according to industry observers.

Knight Investments LLC & US Commodity Futures Trading Commission review Energy & Environment Markets

September 30th, 2009

President of Knight Investments LLC Jayson Lopez discussed the recent review of projects in the Energy and Environment Market given the recent reviews by the US CFTC Committee; vowing to drastically improve private sector contributions by example”

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) convened in a public the second meeting of its expanded Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee (EEMAC) at 8:00 a.m. EDT, on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, at the CFTC’s New York Regional Office, 140 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10005.

The Committee focused on recent CFTC hearings on position limits and hedge exemptions, regulatory reform and legislative proposals, and carbon and other emissions trading markets. All of which Knight Investments LLC President Jayson Lopez identified were important areas to raise given the recent needs to fund projects in this sector.

Knight Investments LLC aides have disclosed that company official have worked very diligently to implement programs that will help develop projects to fruition; Particularly in the categories of grants to business development.

KI Public Relations Director Seraphina Rosa disclosed that new packaged would soon be developed to help aspiring principals seeking Micro Capitalization requirements. She hinted, “There’s a huge project brewing that will really take the market by storm; we think it will greatly help projects, and lenders alike.”

Bart Chilton, the Committee’s Chair, stated that “As Congress once again takes up the important topic of cap and trade legislation, the issue of regulatory oversight in these markets becomes even more critical. The CFTC has a longstanding history of federal regulation of derivatives trading—from monitoring exchange activity to ensuring financial responsibility to carrying out disciplinary and enforcement actions, and it’s very important to have the federal oversight of the entire market as seamless as possible. These markets will be so big, and their impact so large, that the oversight needs to be done right—from the outset.”

KI Chief Financial Officer Montelly Lopez Jr was supportive of the Committee’s Chair statement and said that monitoring exchange activity was the best way to ensure that correct responsibility was being implemented.

“Given the recent light of lack of accountability on project appropriations there have been many cases where principals did not receive the total funding proceeds from trade,” said an undisclosed source at a Private Trade Desk.

The CFTC’s Division of Market Oversight also presented an update on energy and environmental markets, the Office of Legislative Affairs presented an update on current legislation and several Committee members presented their views on specific issues. The Commission invited staff from other federal agencies to attend as observers, and was in great support for public agencies such as Knight Investments LLC to attend and observe as well.

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

August 11th, 2009

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –August 11, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on water stocks by Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst, on the market opportunity for remediating oil- contaminated water.

Market Opportunity Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer

Stocks Covered:

Cameron Intl Corp (NYSE:CAM), General Electric (NYSE:GE), Nalco (NYSE:NLC), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV), Veolia (NYSE:VE), Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE), Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT)

Although oil spills capture headlines, a greater environmental challenge for the oil and gas industry is remediating water polluted in their production operations. Water that comes up with the production of oil and gas is called “produced water.’”  Produced water is tainted with hydrocarbon solids, sand, drill cuttings and salts. Oil companies spend an estimated $50 billion every year remediating and/or disposing of produced water to comply with local, state, provincial and federal environmental laws.

The volume of produced water worldwide is estimated at tens of billions of barrels each year. On average, every barrel of oil produced results in three barrels of produced water. That equates to managing or disposing of more than 250 million barrels of produced water each and every day. The hydrocarbons trapped in produced water are, not only an environmental hazard, but also a source of lost revenues. Data indicates that, on average, nine tons of oil is released via produced water for every million tons of hydrocarbons produced.

Disposal costs for produced water add to already high energy bills. These costs typically include trucking, pre-treatment, injection and desalination, and can run as high as $15 per barrel. Disposing of the hydrocarbon solids that remain after the water is treated is even costlier, estimated at nearly $72 per barrel.

Remediation costs for produced water are likely to continue to rise because regulators are pressing for more stringent environmental laws. Penalties for non-compliance are severe; for example, Suncor was recently fined $850,000 for an environmental violation. Costs are also increasing because oil companies are producing more oil to meet the world’s insatiable appetite for energy. Producers are stimulating production from older wells through re-fracturing, a process requiring massive amounts of fresh water, and tapping unconventional oil field plays such as the Alberta Oil Sands and the Barnett Shale. Canadian producers are already consuming over 540 million barrels of fresh water in Alberta Oil Sands operations, resulting in paying water clean up and disposal costs exceeding $100 million annually. Despite the fact that globally fresh water is becoming a scarce commodity, more water is being used, leading to demands that producers reduce water consumption. The problem is that today’s unconventional oil productions require more water than ever – as many as 20 barrels of water for every barrel of oil produced.

The management of produced water is a large market and several companies are marketing technologies for cleaning produced water. The Petreco Wemco division of Cameron (NYSE:CAM) markets a heat treatment technology that separates hydrocarbons from water. National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) manufactures and sells equipment that mechanically removes suspended solids from produced water. Nalco (NYSE:NLC) offers an aeration technology called Induced Gas Flotation that removes suspended particles from water. Privately-held Welco Expediting and Process Group market centrifuging technologies for cleaning produced water. The GE Zeon segment of General Electric (NYSE:GE), Siemens Water Technology and Veolia (NYSE:VE) offer treatment methods based on filtering membranes. Although all of the above-mentioned methods remove some of the pollutants, most  single technologies leave behind residential oil content ranging from 500 to 50,000 parts per million in the water. Having residual hydrocarbon in their produced water has a major impact on producers’ operating expenses.

Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) recently began marketing a novel remediation technology called H20Maxx, which the company claims offers a safer, more effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water. H20Maxx employs a patented aeration technology that creates microscopic nitrogen bubbles several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional methods. These bubbles attach to oil droplets and break the oil/water interface, allowing oil to be separated. Third party laboratory tests have shown that H20Maxx reduces oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million. Because H20Maxx-treated water is more hydro carbon-free, it dramatically reduces both operating costs and water consumption and also provides the producer with a resalable oil stream. For producers operating in areas where water is in short supply such as the Barnett Shale and Alberta Oil Sands, the ability to re-cycle water is a major advantage.

Oil and gas producers recognize the benefits of H20Maxx and have begun using Wescorp’s technology. Last December, Wescorp received  3rd party verification of the H20Maxx’s  efficiency and scalability, which led to the signing of a letter of intent with Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT).Weatherford is one of the world’s largest  energy  services providers, with operations in more than 100 countries and annual revenues of nearly $10 billion.

In 2009, Wescorp has made significant progress deploying its technology. The company shipped its first H20Maxx unit to an oil/gas operator in Kansas in May. The unit began operating in July, providing remediation services for one conventional oil well, and is performing well. The oil company in Kansas has now ordered a second unit. H20Maxx units are leased on a day lease rate with a 2,000 barrels/day unit leasing for approximately $1,500/day. In June, Wescorp announced the leasing of an H20Maxx unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands, which plans to deploy the unit at its Athabasca Oil Sands operations in Northern Alberta. In late July, Wescorp announced a 50/50 joint venture with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation to initially install a combined 12 H20Maxx water units and HXCT solids units over the next 12 months at Cancen’s facilities. The joint venture will then build additional units to provide onsite remediation to oil and gas producers in western Canada. Cancen will fund, operate and manage the joint venture, as well as fund construction and deployment costs of the units.

Angels Lending Group reviews US Office of Science and Technology Policy on climate change

July 7th, 2009

Recently Angels Lending Group began the review of Global Climate change in an effort to better understand how Renewable Energy Projects could help change the world”

Angels Lending Group today affirmed that Climate change is already having visible impacts in the United States. ALG asserted that the choices we make now will determine the severity of its impacts in the future. These statements concurred with new and authoritative federal study assessing the current and anticipated domestic impacts of climate change.

The report, “Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,” compiles years of scientific research and takes into account new data not available during the preparation of previous large national and global assessments.

It was produced by a consortium of experts from13 U.S. government science agencies and from several major universities and research institutes. With its production and review spanning Republican and Democratic administrations, it offers a valuable, objective scientific consensus on how climate change is affecting—and may further affect—the United States.

“This new report integrates the most up-to-date scientific findings into a comprehensive picture of the ongoing as well as expected future impacts of heat-trapping pollution on the climate experienced by Americans, region by region and sector by sector,” said John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “It tells us why remedial action is needed sooner rather than later, as well as showing why that action must include both global emissions reductions to reduce the extent of climate change and local adaptation measures to reduce the damage from the changes that are no longer avoidable.”

The report, which confirms previous evidence that global temperature increases in recent decades have been primarily human-induced, incorporates the latest information on rising temperatures and sea levels; increases in extreme weather events; and other climate-related phenomena. Adding greatly to its practical value in the realm of policy and planning, it is the first such report in almost a decade to break out those impacts by U.S. region and economic sector, and the first to do so in such great detail.

“This report stresses that climate change has immediate and local impacts – it literally affects people in their backyards,” said Jane Lubchenco, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “In keeping with our goals, the information in it is accessible and useful to everyone from city planners and national legislators to citizens who want to better understand what climate change means to them. This is an issue that clearly affects everyone.”

A product of the interagency U.S. Global Change Research Program, the definitive 190-page report, produced under NOAA’s leadership, is written in plain language to better inform members of the public and policymakers. Commissioned in 2007 and completed this spring, the science-based report is a consensus product spanning two Presidential administrations and transcends political leanings or biases. It underwent intensive review by scientists inside and outside of government and includes information more recent than that incorporated into the last major report on global climate change released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Angels Lending Group reviewed the fact that the report is not intended to direct policy makers to take any one approach over another to mitigate climate change or adapt to it. But it emphasizes that the choices we make now will determine the severity of climate change impacts in the future. “Implementing sizable and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide emissions as soon as possible would significantly reduce the pace and the overall amount of climate change,” the report states, “and would be more effective than reductions of the same size initiated later.”

The study finds that Americans are already being affected by climate change through extreme weather, drought and wildfire trends and details how the nation’s transportation, agriculture, health, water and energy sectors will be affected in the future. The study also finds that the current trend in the emission of greenhouse gas pollution is significantly above the worst-case scenario that this and other reports have considered.

Upon review of the finding Angels Lending Group Officials discovered:

• Heat waves will become more frequent and intense, increasing threats to human health and quality of life. Extreme heat will also affect transportation and energy systems, and crop and livestock production.

• Increased heavy downpours will lead to more flooding, waterborne diseases, negative effects on agriculture, and disruptions to energy, water, and transportation systems.

• Reduced summer runoff and increasing water demands will create greater competition for water supplies in some regions, especially in the West.

• Rising water temperatures and ocean acidification threaten coral reefs and the rich ecosystems they support. These and other climate-related impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems will have major implications for tourism and fisheries.

• Insect infestations and wildfires are already increasing and are projected to increase further in a warming climate.

• Local sea-level rise of over three feet on top of storm surges will increasingly threaten homes and other coastal infrastructure. Coastal flooding will become more frequent and severe, and coastal land will increasingly be lost to the rising seas.

With such aspects being apparent in the recent report, Angels Lending Group affirmed its commitment to renewable energies, environmental projects, and the encouragement of project submissions.

Angels Lending Group presents options for projects in conformance with The Pollution Prevention Act

May 25th, 2009

Angels Lending Group reorganized its portfolio appropriations for the third quarter of 2009 by proclaiming at least 25% of its 20 billion dollar appropriation will be reserved for supporters of the EPA’s Pollution Prevention Act.”

The Pollution Prevention Act establishes the national policy that pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible. Preventing pollution offers important economic benefits, as pollution never created avoids the need for expensive investments in waste management or cleanup.

Pollution prevention is reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and re-using materials rather than putting them into the waste stream.

The EPA has put forth a number of programs designed to educate manufacturers on industrial processes that prevent pollution by saving energy, encourage environmentally preferable purchasing, and provide technical assistance to state agencies and businesses.

Angels Lending Group has taken these programs into consideration at its underwriting department, and made special notations to look for in their submissions.

“We’ve had the pass down from our President that we want to make sure our projects are undergoing the correct scrutinization. This wish has translated to the review of government policies and protocols. The review of our government policies are always well done, and it provides a great deal of in sight on these issues. We of course appropriate them where we can and incorporate them where applicable.”

said Christopher Knight, Chief Underwriter of ALG.

Angels Lending Group has taken a key note to reflect our government’s desire for a greener economy, a greener country, and a greener policy in the private sector. Angels Lending Group has taken promotional steps to give out recommendations. These recommendations try to shed light on what Businesses can do to reflect these policies. Recommendations include the advocating of the EPA’s “Best Management Practices”.

Best management practices are methods that have been determined to be the most effective and practical means of preventing or reducing pollution. These practices are often employed in agriculture, forestry, mining and construction. The EPA (working with partners in industry and the academic community) have established the best published management practices for soil erosion, wastewater treatment, fuel storage, pesticide and fertilizer handling (to include the management of livestock yards). The ultimate goal of these practices is to increase efficiency while reducing pollution.

Angels Lending Group made a point to stress the importance of businesses understanding these new goals.

“We’re constantly keeping up with the new government policies for green projects, renewable energies, and humanitarian guidelines. It’s important for borrower’s to recognize the government’s requirements as well. This will ensure borrowers receive the best results when going through our underwriting procedures.” said Jamie Stevenson, Senior Operations of Angels Lending Group.

Angels Lending Group Corporation is a Private Lending Institution that works with Federal Governing Regulatory Bodies to utilize the Institutional Side of Banking with company funds to facilitate Green & Humanitarian Based Loans to Borrowers.

Angels Lending Group begins funding procedures for 4.7 billion dollar Bio Fuel project

May 24th, 2009

“Angels Lending Group approved a joint venture partnership for a four billion dollar Bio Fuel Project this week and invested eighty five thousand dollars in business plan development.”

Angels Lending Group is looking towards green alternative energy projects to pioneer the change in our planet’s climate. The massive project is no small undertaking and Angels Lending Group has taken the helm position to ensure that it comes to fruition.

The Bio Fuel Corporation, that Angels Lending Group took into joint venture partnership is an integrated renewable energy company. Its goal is to build partnerships in energy-dependent developing countries to produce biodiesel and create renewable oil fields.

Unlike most other international bio fuel companies, the Bio Fuel Corporation will take advantage of government blending mandates and sell most of their biodiesel in-country at a premium (about $1 / gal. at present), resulting in greater profits for the Company.

The Company is building jatropha-based energy projects in the Philippines, Peru, and Colombia on more than 5mm acres of marginal, underused land.

The unique Jatropha, the Bio Fuel Corporation’s feedstock, is not a food crop. Jatropha survives in arid climates, and produces 20 times more energy than the energy inputs that are required to produce the biodiesel.

Abundant Biofuels Corporation is located out of California, and is pioneering the use of this great project.

“Green Energy is important in this world. It will take contributions from the private sector and government to produce these results, and if we can be the pioneers of this cause we’re happy to do so.” said Jayson Lopez, Vice President of Operations for ALG.

Angels Lending Group has been cleared by regulatory officials to begin appropriations of 20 Billion US Dollars a month in renewable energies, green projects, humanitarian causes, and cutting edge technology that have obtained patents/patent rights.

“We have a huge quota to meet every month, and we have the money available. Although we have deadlines it doesn’t undermine our product. It’s equally important for applicants to know that we have stringent guidelines and we won’t accept people who merely come with concepts. We need more than ideas, we need applications.”

said Christopher Knight, Chief Underwriter of ALG.

Angels Lending Group has taken a proactive role to realize it’s mission of changing the world one project at a time. President & CEO Angel Bischak has undergone many challenges to get her company to the position it’s at now. So we asked her what it is that keeps her going, she responded,

“We do what we do at Angels Lending Group to persevere, in spite of the challenges. We’ve dealt with everything you can think of. But what makes us different, is we have the desire to truly change the world one project at a time.”

Angels Lending Group Corporation is a Private Lending Institution that works with Federal Governing Regulatory Bodies to utilize the Institutional Side of Banking with company funds to facilitate Green & Humanitarian Based Loans to Borrowers.

Angels Lending Group & US National Economic Council policy share common goals in US finance revival

May 20th, 2009

“Angels Lending Group has strove to meet the financing gap for some of the world’s foremost green and renewable energy projects thus strengthening the US National Economic Council policies”

The National Economic Council (NEC) was established in 1993 to advise the President on U.S. and global economic policy. It resides within the Office of Policy Development and is part of the Executive Office of the President. By Executive Order, the NEC has four principal functions: to coordinate policy-making for domestic and international economic issues, to coordinate economic policy advice for the President, to ensure that policy decisions and programs are consistent with the President’s economic goals, and to monitor implementation of the President’s economic policy agenda.

The NEC is comprised of numerous department and agency heads within the administration, whose policy jurisdictions impact the nation’s economy. The NEC Director works in conjunction with these officials to coordinate and implement the President’s economic policy objectives. The Director is supported by a staff of policy specialists in various fields including: agriculture, commerce, energy, financial markets, fiscal policy, healthcare, labor, and Social Security. (Source Whitehouse.gov)

The Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, Lawrence H. Summers, had this to say about the International Monetary Fund,

“We look forward to early action by the Fund to put this office in place as quickly as possible. We hope the Fund will move ahead immediately to design appropriate terms of reference, structure and other operating procedures for this office that will achieve the goals of independence, transparency and external consultation.” (Source Press Room US Department of Treasury)

source: FPR

It has been an important mission in ALG to strive to help our government obtain the goals of independence from foreign financing, obtain the transparency of honest lending institutions, and not turn a deaf ear to external consultation.

“It’s important that we have a listening ear to those who share the common views as us. The views to make a stronger America. That strength of America is going to come from responsible lending institutions appropriating money to areas of business that are good for America. These areas are going to be green jobs and renewable energies that keep jobs here at home.” said Christopher Knight, Chief Underwriter of ALG.

Angels Lending Group has been taking on Joint Venture Endeavors where the private structured financing institution is in the negotiations to fund projects and offer forgivable loans in exchange for equity positions. Some of these projects include GEnergy Co, a company with plans to construct 1.2 billion dollars worth of wind turbines across the upper mid west.

“We want to fund projects off of the principal that we care about this country. We strive to see it better, and if we can organize the resources to see projects come to fruition that major banks don’t want to, that’s fine, we’ll do it. There are no political agendas at Angels Lending Group, only moral agendas.” said Angel Bischak President of ALG

Angels Lending Group supports local Green Energy of Ohio & The Ohio Department of Development

May 18th, 2009

“Angels Lending Group seeks to assist the local Ohio Department of Development and Green Energy of Ohio by helping local principals that seek renewable energy projects financing.”

he Ohio Department of Development has restored funding for residential solar electric projects.

The resumption of state grants follows a new federal solar tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of residential solar projects.

Combined, the two programs are expected to make home solar systems affordable to more families and reduce the payback time from 30 years to 10 or 11.

The state program administered by the Ohio Department of Energy will award grants for residential solar projects at the rate of $3 per watt, up to $25,000.

Angels Lending Group is helping the local government and Green Energy of Ohio’s cause by offering principals the opportunity to obtain financing.

“Our local government and organizations should know that there are local companies that have the same desire as them. We want to have Ohio see a greener community and we’ll do whatever we can, as good resident’s of this state, to see this come to fruition.” said Angel Bischak, President and CEO of ALG.

Money for the state sponsored program will come from the Development Department’s advanced energy fund, which receives about $5 million per year from a 9-cent-per-month fee on the electric bills of every customer served by an investor-owned utility. Customers of municipal systems do not pay the fee and are not eligible.

“We want to help this cause and hopefully put more than 5 million per year back into our local economy.” said Jamie Stevenson, Senior Operations Advisor of ALG.

Green Energy Ohio, the state’s most vocal advocate for renewable power, praised the program for its potential to create jobs.

“These reinstated grants will now revitalize interest in deployment of residential solar electric systems, creating new green job opportunities and helping put Ohioans to work,” said Athan Barkoukis, the organization’s Northeast Ohio coordinator.

Angels Lending Group has been a vocal adovcates of organizations such as the US Green Building Council, and political speakers such as former vice president Al Gore.

Angels Lending Group Corporation is a Private Lending Institution that works with Federal Governing Regulatory Bodies to utilize the Institutional Side of Banking with company funds to facilitate Green & Humanitarian Based Loans to Borrowers.

Angels Lending Group helps US Energy Department by providing finance to US based solar companies

May 17th, 2009

“Angels Lending Group has decided to take on the financial problems of the US Energy Department by offering financing to US Based Solar Companies, in conjunction with the US Energy Department’s push for lenders to offer financing to renewable energies”

When Secretary of Energy Steven Chu talks about how Americans can break their addiction to oil and coal, he starts with his hi-fi amplifier. It’s so old that the on-off light burned out long ago. But inside lies a technology that — in its day — was as revolutionary as the changes needed to solve the nation’s current energy problems. (Source Jim Tankersley LA Times)

Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and other experts say similar scientific breakthroughs are needed to make renewable power sources such as wind, solar and biofuels as cheap and easy to use as the costly, environmentally damaging oil and coal we depend on now. Toward that end, President Obama’s stimulus package contains $8 billion for energy research, including $400 million specifically targeted for game-changing technology.

The problem is that over the last three decades, the U.S. has spent many times that much on energy research and development — with nothing like a “transistor”

to show for it.  

“It’s very easy to say we should spend more” on research, said Jeffrey Wadsworth, chief executive and president of the Battelle Memorial Institute, which manages several Energy Department laboratories. “What really needs to happen is more effective use of the money.”

Angels Lending Group has been pioneering the push for renewable energies by offering renewable energy projects financing who have adopted more proficient ways to answer these technological problems.

“It has to come from the private sector. The federal government is in a trillion dollar deficit and its stimulus package has 50 cents per US Dollar borrowed from foreign countries. In the meanwhile, the same people who had money in a good economy, have money in a bad economy. It’s up to us to make a contribution as good citizens of this country.” said Jayson Lopez, Vice President of Angels Lending Group.

Recently Angels Lending Group took into submission Sunvalley Solar Inc., which is scheduled to receive funding for its solar power activities in California.

Sunvalley Solar Inc. (hereby Sunvalley) is the first solar power technology and system design and integration company founded by Chinese-American professionals. It is a Corporation Limited registered in California started from January 2007.

Sunvalley consists of a seasoned management team, a group of outstanding Chinese-American scientists, a professional marketing/sales team and an experienced engineering team, which includes solar power system design engineers, solar power system installation engineers, electrical system design engineers and construction engineers.

“It starts with one project, and then it keeps on spreading. The more private companies we help get up and going, for the benefit of renewable energies, the more we can help our government get the new direction of this country moving.” said Jamie Stevenson, Senior Operations Advisor for Angels Lending Group.

How Nature Group (LSE: NGR-GB.L), Siemens (NYSE: SI) Water Technologies and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE) are providing Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

April 24th, 2009

Water Stocks Sector Close- Up; Environmental Impact of Produced Water in Oil and Gas Industry 

 

 

Point Roberts, WA, Delta, BC  - April 23, 2009 – www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research portal covering water, environment and oil and gas sectors, presents a water stocks sector close-up on produced water in the oil and gas industry, problems and solutions. Publicly traded companies providing solutions include Nature Group (LSE: NGR-GB.L), Siemens (NYSE: SI) Water Technologies and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE ). 

 

According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), part of DOE’s national laboratory system, approximately 15-20 billion bbl (barrels; 1 bbl = 42 U.S. gallons) of produced water are generated each year in the United States from nearly a million wells, and more than 50 billion bbl of produced water are generated each year at thousands of wells in other countries.

 

As water and environmental issues now play a major role in the future of the oil and gas industry, here is how three public companies are coming up with solutions.

 

Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB:WSCE) an oil and gas solutions provider of water remediation and environmental technologies , announced in December 08, that Weatherford International Ltd., (NYSE: WFT) had executed a letter of intent for the testing of Wescorp’s wholly-owned water remediation technology, H2Omaxx, in two projects in South America. H2Omaxx is a water remediation unit that consistently provides safe, effective and economical separation of oil from produced water.

 

When asked if Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE ) technology works for all produced water applications, on shore and off shore, Dave LeMoine, Vice President of Business Development commented, “In general the answer would be yes, Wescorp’s technology has been independently proven to  have  a high level of  scalability and effectiveness, allowing it to be used on a single well to multi well applications  or projects such as Offshore Platforms or in  conventional or unconventional oil development such as the Oilsands in Alberta. Wescorp gives the oil companies three streams, Clean water Clean solids and Ultrafines and resalable oil

The client problem could be environmental, cost related, regulatory compliancy, revenue generated, process improvement based, or a host of other issues. “

 

According  to NATURE GROUP’s (LSE:NGR-GB.L), CEO, Richard Eldridge, “ There is now wide agreement within the petroleum industry, governments and scientists that focus should now be put on dissolved organic components, heavy metals and production chemicals. The oil in water content shall be as low as possible and the industry shall make use of best available technology (BAT).”

 

The Nature process for treatment of produced water is based on addition of patented

coagulant/flocculant in existing or partially modified water systems. The agent is injected

into the produced water upstream a static mixer or various process equipment (pumps,

valves etc.) to provide sufficient in- mixing. The agent separates dispersed and dissolved

hydrocarbons and is floated and skimmed off in a flotation vessel downstream the in-mixing

point.

 

SIEMENS A G ADR (NYSE: SI) Siemens Water Technologies was recently selected by Petro-Canada to provide a system for treating coal-bed-methane (CBM) produced water at the Mitchell Draw CBM Project near Gillette, Wyoming, USA.  The system will treat 72,000 barrels per day (3 MGD) of CBM produced water, removing contaminants like sodium (Na) and total dissolved solids (TDS), which will allow the plant to meet current state regulatory requirements.

Siemens states it has 750 onshore and offshore produced water treatment systems, treating about 6 million barrels of water per day.

 

According to Eddy Isaacs, managing director of the Alberta Energy Research Institute, “Companies now have to worry about the environment as much as they need to worry about their production.”  *1

 

So What is Produced Water? 

The US Department of the Interior defines Produced water as “mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. It can contain very minor amounts of chemicals added downhole during production. These waters exist under high pressures and temperatures, and usually contain oil and metals. Because of this, they must be treated prior to being discharged overboard. As with drilling muds, following treatment, they must be tested for toxicity and cannot exceed set discharge rates.”

 

Most produced waters contain combinations or mixture of: Dissolved inorganic salts, dispersed oil droplets, dissolved organic compounds (dissolved “oil”),treatment and workover chemicals dissolved gases (particularly hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide),bacteria and other living organisms, and dispersed solid particles.

 

The Produced Water Society reports, “The ability to efficiently and economically dispose of this water is critical to the success in the oil production business. “
