Investor911, add OOIL to the list...in fact, put it towards the top, lol!

OriginOil, Inc.(OOIL.OB) http://www.originoil.com is developing a breakthrough technology that will transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum. Much of the world's oil and gas is made up of ancient algae deposits. Today, our technology will produce "new oil" from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This endless supply of new oil can be used for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents without the global warming effects of petroleum. Other oil-producing feedstock such as corn and sugarcane often destroy vital farmlands and rainforests, disrupt global food supplies and create new environmental problems. Our unique technology, based on algae, is targeted at fundamentally changing our source of oil without disrupting the environment or food supplies. Instead of drilling for old oil, we can now manufacture clean, new oil, anytime and anywhere, delivering a revolutionary breakthrough to the world.

This one's heading towards dollars too>>>

Investor911, add XSNX to the list...in fact, put it towards the top:)

Xsunx, Inc., a thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) company, focuses on developing thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) amorphous silicon solar cell manufacturing processes to produce TFPV solar modules. Its product includes XsunX ASI-120 module, which is a 125 peak watt TFPV solar module utilizing glass substrates and a proprietary semiconductor manufacturing system. XsunX ASI-120 provides for a module delivering high power output, and size and framing that would allow for the use of various existing mounting systems. The target markets for the TFPV solar module include solar farms, government agencies, and utility companies, as well as power purchase agreements and large commercial installations worldwide. The company, formerly known as Sun River Mining, Inc., was incorporated in 1997 and changed its name to XsunX, Inc. in 2003. XsunX is headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California.

XsunX, Inc. has developed Power Glass™ – an innovative solar energy technology that allows glass windows to produce electricity from the power of the sun. XsunX is leveraging its broad portfolio of patents to commercialize Power Glass™ technology as the solution for integrating renewable power generating properties onto millions of square feet of modern architectural glass and building facades.

XsunX believes that Power Glass™ technology can provide an ideal solution for the wide scale integration of real energy producing products into living and working environments – all without causing disruptive and costly changes to lifestyles.

XsunX has focused on the development of very thin semi-transparent coatings and films that create large area monolithic solar cell structures that you can see through. This semi-transparency makes Power Glass™ glazing desirable for placing over glass, plastics, and other see-through structures. Using patented processes, such as reel-to-reel manufacturing techniques and multi-terminal cell structure designs, we are working to commercialize large area cell manufacturing processes for thin film flexible plastics.

Power Glass™ represents a new breed of solar cell design that balances solar cell efficiencies and manufacturing costs with broad applications and uses. The Company believes that these design, manufacturing, and application efficiencies may provide as much as a 100% efficiency-to-cost gain over conventional opaque solar cells. This 100% gain in efficiency-to-cost is based on Company estimates of Power Glass™ solar cells operating at as much as 50%, or half, the efficiency of conventional opaque amorphous solar cells yet costing as little as 25%, or one fourth, to produce.

The ability to incorporate large amounts of solar cells onto a structure provides for significant opportunities to produce greater amounts of usable energy. Further benefits can be derived from incorporation of these large amounts of solar cells into common building materials such as glass and plastics.
Today, the use of architectural glass and transparent plastics in the design and construction of commercial and industrial facilities is staggering in scope. The world-wide markets for these glass and laminates reaches into the hundreds of billions.

Yep. The potential is staggering but there's always an "if" factor!

[Piecemaker]

This is the best resource I've found so far. Lots to look at from a wide spectrum of technologies and applications. TTEG and CPYW are both here. Will take some time to thoroughly research this site. I do know that they provide excellent in-depth phone interviews with inventors et al. pm

That's good Van, if happens.

[investor911]

Smart investment in early green co's with potential to grow will be awesome. Any current watch list?

[vantillian]

I have heard that TTEG has foreign companies looking to possibly buyout the company or at the very least customize the engine for their own applications. Could be very interesting news ahead...

[Piecemaker]

Wonder how they are going to muffle that thing. It is loud! The revs on it look like it's going to need a specialized transmission. Very interesting design. I'll look into it some more. I believe a new engine is how we are all going to have to go in the nearer-than-might-be-comfortable future.

Greenfuel Technologies has always been on my watch list as I drive by it in Cambridge every day. Lately, though there's been a "for lease" sign on their building, I'm not sure if they're trying to rent out shell space or if it's something more suspicious, but I'm not surprised to hear they've had problems over the past year. If anyone needs DD on this one, let me know!

15 algae biofuel firms that you should know about

1. GreenFuel Technologies: The Cambridge, Mass.-based algae firm led by telecom bigwig Bob Metcalfe (whom we interviewed here) has reached an agreement to build its first fuel plant —worth $92 million — in Europe, says Xconomy. It’s good news for the firm, which has hit some speed bumps over the past year, including layoffs, switching CEOs, shutting down a greenhouse in Arizona and discovering that its algae tech was more expensive than first planned.

The startup builds algae bioreactor systems, which use recycled CO2 to feed the algae, which is then converted into biofuels; it uses the containers to carefully control the algae’s intake of sunlight and nutrients. GreenFuel is backed by Polaris Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson (our video interview with DFJ here) and Access Private Equity and has been working on raising a Series C funding.

2. Solazyme: The five-year old firm uses synthetic biology and genetic engineering to tweak algal strains for better biofuel yields. Based in South San Francisco, the company grows its algae in fermentation tanks without sunlight, by feeding it sugar. The company is one of the few that have managed to do deals with a major oil company — Chevron — as well as biodiesel maker Imperium Renewables. Backers include Blue Crest Capital Finance and The Roda Group.

3. Blue Marble Energy: The Seattle-based company finds algae-infested polluted water systems, cleans up the environment, and turns the algae into biofuel. “If the future of biofuels is algae…you’re never going to get enough volume in bioreactors or ponds…It has to be something with greater volume,” the company told the Guardian . We’re not sure how Blue Marble will control the wild algae settings, but it sounds like it could be difficult.

4. Inventure Chemical: Also out of Seattle, this startup is working on an algae-to-jet fuel product, and told the Seattle PI that it has already created algae-based fuel in 5- to 10-gallon tests and plans to set up a test plant to see if it can produce between from three and 15 million gallons of biofuel each year. Inventure Chemical closed its first round of funding mid-2007, and investors are reported to be biodiesel company Imperium Renewables, Cedar Grove Investments, Brighton Jones Wealth Management and undisclosed angel investors.

5. Solena: Profiled in the New York Times today, Solena uses high temperatures to gasify algae and other organic substances with high-energy outputs. The Washington state-based company is talking with Kansas power firm Sunflower to build a 40-megawatt power plant run on gasified algae, according to the NYT; the algae would be grown in big plastic containers, and fed by a combination of sunlight and the sodium bicarbonate biproduct of the adjacent coal plant.

6. Live Fuels: Instead of attempting to convert algae directly into ethanol or biodiesel, this startup is trying to create green crude that could be fed directly through the nation’s current refinery system. The Menlo Park, Calif-based startup uses open-pond algae bioreactors and plans to commercialize its technology by 2010. Investors include the Quercus Trust (David Gelbaum’s well-known environmental funding group) and Sandia National Labs.

7. Solix Biofuels: Like Live Fuels, Solix is also working on a biocrude, but using a closed-tank bioreactor set-up. Based in Fort Collins, Colo., and founded in April 2006, the firm is backed by Colorado State University’s Engine and Energy Conversion Laboratory. The company has said that construction will begin shortly on its first, large-scale bioreactor at the nearby New Belgian Brewery, where CO2 waste produced during the beer-making proicess will be used to feed the algae.

8. Aurora Biofuels: Developed at the University of California at Berkeley, the company is using genetically modified algae to efficiently create biodiesel. The Aurora claims the technology, developed by microbial biology professor Tasios Melis, can create biodiesel fuel with yields that are 125 times higher and have 50 percent lower costs than current production methods. According to the company’s web site, backers include Gabriel Venture Partners, Noventi, Oak Investment Partners (and angel investors include Auttomatic CEO Toni Schneider)

9. Aquaflow Binomics: The New Zealand company’s goal is to become “the first company in the world to economically produce biofuel from wild algae harvested from open-air environments.” Like Blue Marble Energy, the three-year-old startup sources its algae from algae-infested polluted water systems, cleaning the polluted environment in the process.

Late last year, publicly held Aquaflow used its algae-based biodiesel to run a Land Rover driven by New Zealand’s Minister of Climate Change. And it’s been working with Boeing on algae-to-bio-based jet fuel.

10. Petro Sun: This company is also publicly held, but we thought it was important to include it because they plan to start up their algae-to-biofuel production factory in Rio Honda, Texas, on April 1. The algae farm has 1,100 acres ponds that Petro Sun thinks will make 4.4 million gallons of algal oil and 110 million pounds of biomass per year. Some think the company is just jumping on the algae-slimed bandwagon.

11. Bionavitas: Based in Snoqualmie, Wash., the company says it has developed technology for the high-volume production of algae using bioreactors. Check out their WIPO patent app for the bioreactor setup.

12. Mighty Algae Biofuels: The little we do know about Mighty Algae Biofuels we learned through their entrance in the California Cleantech Open last year. We know, for example, that it uses closed bioreactors to grow the algae. They were also quoted in the San Jose Mercury this month on a story about algae biofuel.

13. Bodega Algae: Another newbee, this one with roots at MIT, the one-year-old firm has developed a set-up to grow algae in bioreactors with light and nutrients that it says is lower cost and more efficient than the current methods. Back in May 2007 Bodega said it was looking for $300,000 for “capital equipment, salaries and testing materials to complete the first prototype and begin a pilot study with a biodiesel manufacturing facility.” (Their web site is down, so we’ll if they’re still around).

14. Seambiotic: The five-year-old Israeli startup produces algae for applications, including the budding biofuel industry, and is working with Inventure Chemical. The firm has been working with Israeli Electric Company, utilizing IEC’s smokestack for a source of CO2 and grows algae in eight open algae ponds.

15. Cellena: A joint venture created by Hawaiian algae-to-biofuel startup HR Biopetroleum and oil company Shell. Shell has majority share of the company, which is in the process of building a demo facility on the Kona coast of Hawaii.



If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

Here's a favorite of mine but is strictly a longer term play. It's making a short term move, but clearly a hold for the future. Approx $300 mil in new contracts makes for a strong hold but don't fall asleep waiting for a multi-year move. It will take time.

[investor911]

That sounds interesting, will look into it. I will post few algae plays later this week.

[Piecemaker]

I've become very involved in Cyclone Power Tech (CYPW). They hold patents on a scalable engine that runs on almost any kind of fuel. They believe that biodiesel will be viable and economical very soon as it is cheap to produce, abundant, renewable and doesn't disrupt our gasoline based infrastructure.

Do you have an algae play that you like?

Green companies to watch: Renewable energy

1. Ausra: ( http://www.ausra.com/) Originally from Australia, Ausra is one of the movers and shakers in solar thermal, a technology that is already competitive with utility-scale fossil fuel power generation.

Mirrors reflect light onto a liquid that makes steam, which drives a traditional electricity turbine. Other companies have different designs including BrightSource Energy which recently signed a huge deal with Pacific Gas & Electric and eSolar, which is reported to have just raised $130 million. Honorable mention goes to Infinia, which uses a Stirling engine to make distributed solar electricity.

2. SolFocus:(http://www.solfocus.com/) Another technology for utility-scale solar power is concentrating photovoltaics (CPV), where light is magnified onto high-efficiency solar cells. SolFocus, incubated at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, is well funded and already has a few customers.

3.Southwest Wind Power: http://www.windenergy.com/index_wind.htm)
There are several companies taking different approaches to small wind turbines, designed for homes and buildings. Southwest Wind Power has turbines for remote off-grid locations but it now also has a ground-mounted one for homes. Another company to watch is Aerovironment which just had its small turbines installed at Logan Airport in Boston.

4. First Solar:(http://www.firstsolar.com/) In the traditional solar photovoltaic market, First Solar the one to catch. The reason is simple: cost per watt. Its cadmium telluride-based panels take up more space than silicon cell panels, but its overall cost has set the mark in a highly competitive field. Hot in pursuit are other thin-film solar companies--Heliovolt, Global Solar Energy, and Nanosolar, which are making cells from yet another material, CIGS (copper indium gallium and diselenide).

5. Cool Earth Solar:(http://www.coolearthsolar.com/) Apart from the great name, this company is taking a potentially disruptive approach to solar electricity. Never mind expensive plants out in the desert. Why not just float reflective balloons in open fields?




If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

[My 2 Cents]

Hello All,
I've been waiting for a Green Board to pop up, it's about time, and with some of my favorite posters no less! I look forward to contributing some ideas here.

I'll start with:

WNBD
I know, 'WNBD' sounds old and uninteresting at this point, but I have been long on it since before[/] I knew about Ihub, and believe in the company as a true and honest one with level headed management. (Plus, how many pinksheet stocks have several products on shelves in multiple states and all through Canada in Home Depot and Wal Mart Canada? The name sounds tired, but it's just the beginning.. and it's only at a cent.)

and

PURO
www.puriowatertechnology.com
Very speculative at this point but it seems to have bottomed for now at .20 while they do some preliminary testing with a new product. I think they could be a huge player in the water conservation industry over the next several years. Definitely both long plays. Wait for any volume and this could fly.

[Howardhaftel]

Good morning to all. I am so glad to see a board with a semblance of order to discuss a very important subject, The planets survival.
If our children and grand children are to survive with any kind of quality of life we have to start to take actions now to improve our environment. The word GREEN is fitting. oil, coal etc. only harms the environment by polluting. We can provide replacement facilities for power and heat via, Solar, Wind, Batteries, Hydrogen, U308, and naturally grown materials.
Most important now is EDUCATION! We have to drum it into the public brains that we can't continue on this path of self destruction.
Instead of destroying our planet we can rebuild it and provide service to the people and animals, fish, birds that live here.

BLDV is just one of many attempts at this goal. Some have started off in the right direction just to get detoured by cost and method.
I don't believe we should use food for biodiesel when there are plenty of other products that can be used. It looks like BLDV has their act together and will be a shinning star among the few that will enter this business. Good luck to all that see the future as I do. Its bright and we must keep the light glowing.

[Stock]

Anybody here know somebody named Brian Holden from Las Vegas, Nevada?

Is this another BLDV message board?



PT Barnum ran a circus, too. But he didn't let the clowns run the show.
He surely didn't let the clowns tame the lions.
On second thought, that would have been a more interesting circus.

[investor911]

This board will cover promising big board/OTC green companies and will share among investors, about global green Economy.

[jraska]

Morning all, would someone please supply me with a map. Is this the same board as last night? What happened?

Would like to discuss green energy companies such as BLDV, is it okay to post here?

[goforthebet]

good morning Invest,

thanks for opening that board. A great day to everyone
