Baytown Meeting (Eye Witness Comments)


Barrettjet, one of our investors was at the meeting yesterday, his comments on the article, are highlighted below:


Baytown company plans major splash on energy

This article by Kari Griffin is an eyewitness report, not a statement put out by the company or a JR said ...
The reporter was there ALL day.

From Barrettjet:
I was invited to attend the meeting of the named persons in this article. JR described it as the "Biggest event in the history of the company" and it certainly was. Not because of the number of participants but because of the business conducted. I live in the Dallas, Texas area and drove down to Baytown on Wednesday.


Members of the Central American Parliament, which represents countries in South and Central America, and the Caribbean, were in Baytown Thursday because of one man’s process of turning soybeans – among other things – into biofuel.

This article provides the names of the people participating and yes they were there.

John Rivera, CEO of Sustainable Energy Corp. and winner of an International Engineering Conference award and inventor of the “Rivera Process,” has found a way to produce biogasoline from pyrolysis biocrude oil – and he’ll be doing it right in our backyard.

Located across from Pinehurst on Highway 146, Baytown Green Energy Consortium employees have been hard at work these past couple of months setting up the test facility where a 65-foot unit of four reactors will turn substances with a carbon chain into 737 fertilizer, heavy crude oil, light crude oil and synthetic gas in just under 9 minutes – a process that has taken Rivera 20 years to perfect.

Everything is as shown and stated in past articles and pictures. The USSE building is located behind the concrete plant, and has a railroad spur track. A great location.

Using a prototype to show his guests how it’s done, Rivera produced the biogasoline that burned clean until it was mixed with regular gasoline, which produced black smoke.
JR had both the 65ft reactor and the smaller test reactor fired up and cooking.

The big unit ran all day and the smaller unit ran for the test

Rivera also pointed out that what remains of the processed soybeans is used to make a 737 organic based fertilizer and soil treatment that removes harmful chemicals from soil.

“We have zero waste byproducts,” Rivera said.

The Baytown Green Energy facility, (a joint-venture with U.S. Sustainable Energy), is capable of producing 6,700 gallons of a petroleum product in a 24 -hour period and will be making 24,000 gallons a day within 90 days, Rivera said. And the completion of a 500 mega-watt green power plant, (the largest of its kind in the world), is on the horizon.

6,700 gallons is the output from ONE reactor and that is what we have up and running now. The second reactor is about 75% complete and the third and fourth reactors are tube assemblies waiting on some heaters and other parts which are on the way. Four reactors comprise a "Set"" which means that they share some operating systems, operate as a unit and will be started and stopped together.

If successful, Baytonians will not have to pay the fuel adjustment charges that can make up 30 percent of their bill, Rivera said.

“I’m going to be the power company in Texas,” he said.

I think this refers to the coming on site 500MW Power Plant and many others in JR plans. Very ambitious but you know JR and he IS making it come true.

Parlacen President Julio González Gamarra and H.D. Fernando Ricardo Luna Waldheim from the department of engineering of Central American Parliament were impressed with what they saw going on at the Baytown facility – so impressed they were willing to contribute $4 billion for Rivera to move the project to a bigger scale right away.



These are not JRs words , as some will say. Rather, they are the words I heard at the luncheon meeting hosted by JR. They were speaking in Spanish and some English. I heard the words come from the mouths of the Presidente and Sr. Luna Waldheim. I heard things like 900 reactors and giga watt powerplant ant certain locations that I will not pinpoint. That's for JR to define. I guess JR has had many business dealings in Latin American because he speaks Spanish fluently.


The market for this “This technology has a great future,” Waldheim said. The market for this type of product is especially strong in underdeveloped countries, he said.

“It’s just a great opportunity for us to enter and to substitute the demand and to lower the energy costs in these countries where they don’t have crude oil, but they do have the agriculture to make a joint venture with us,” Waldheim said. “Instead of being energy dependent, they could be exporting crude oil. It’s a great opportunity for the democratic countries.

Many Latin American countries have no oil and even if the country next door has oil they still have to buy it. With our technology they can keep the countrys' funds at home and create many jobs. I heard conversation indicating that the monthly income of the small farmers could double.

Right now, these areas are making ethanol and producing a lot of sugar cane, “but it’s not a substitute for petroleum products,” Waldheim said.

Once the 400 to 800 reactors are placed all in these countries, they will use their local feeds such as nuts and other carbon-based food stock to make their own energy and export the surplus said Scott Hoerr of Farmer’s Sustainable Energy International, which is working with Rivera on this project.



“We want to take it to the grass-roots level,” Hoerr said.

Baytown Councilman Brandon Capetillo learned a lot from the informative tour.

“There is a global market for biofuels,” Capetillo said. “The City of Baytown is very interested in this type of development.”

Almost as interesting than the process that Rivas created, Capetillo said, is the fact that “this can happen right here in Baytown.”

What a day and I feel very honored to be invited. Mike Conklin and I hit it off and that is because we are both pilots. He was "Marine 1", the Presidents pilot, and I was "HQ 1", the LA Govs pilot, a long time ago.
