Greenshift Corporation (GERS)

[Slashnuts]

Thanks to Skunk and past blogs for pointing me in the direction of what I believe is very substantial news in the GPRE Q1 report. If you know Mr. Becker on a personal level, like I do, and if you listen to the CC, the pause in his voice when he revealed that the increase in ethanol yield is by "mechanical" means indicates to me that he just revealed something big, and he knows that one word was a very big hint. A true indication that this could be Greenshift's Tornado/Cavitation that Skunk blogged about in the past.http://greenshift-gers.blogspot.com/2012/02/flash-desiccation-mechanical.html
I am meeting with Mr. Becker next week and I will do my best to get any more information I can maybe a possible confirmation.


Tornado Generator/ Mechanical Cavitation

I got tears of joy when I heard this...This is the BIG NEWS that I got from the call. 2.94 gallons per bushel is unheard of in the industry. I believe this has GERS written all over it.

"some of the processing and grinding processes"

"We have seen and it’s going to kind of going to come either biologically or mechanically. And so we’ve been working more on the mechanical side of it..."




I have talked about how I believe GPRE and other customers are using Greenshift's other technologies. GPRE has been saying thry've been working on ethanol yield projects for a while. The question before this Q1 release was, is GPRE going after the starch with enzymes or by mechanical means ie Patented Tornado Generator/Cavitation.

We have our answer, it's mechanical. I believe this was what Global Ethanol was testing when GPRE bought them out.

"We continue to work on improving our yield in the ethanol segment and going after the last 7% starch in the corn kernel that remains after the production progress.

We did experience a better yield in our Ethanol Production segment, reaching 2.84 gallons of ethanol per bushel of corn on average. Some of this was due to slowing down production and some was from recent capital projects. We are working on more projects to continue improving conversion rates and I will again comment more on this later in the call.

I guess just turning back to ethanol briefly, I wanted to touch on the comments you made about yield improvements unlocking that 7% starch. And how much do you think is obtainable and what should we expect investments to be made or is that something that could hit 2012 or 2013 or just some sense around that will be helpful.

Yeah, I just do a quick comment and I’ll let Jeff kind follow-up. We’ve done – we’ve been working several years on increasing yields at our plans and some is slower than other – some have gone slower than others. We have seen and it’s going to kind of going to come either biologically or mechanically. And so we’ve been working more on the mechanical side of it to see where and how we get more while companies like Novozone and Genencor worked on the biology side of it and they’re making improvements as well."

Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$
