But does Raven have Anything?
jmo
I have been watching this stock since around Feb. This sound like a stock that has good potential. Need some news as to what is going on with the company. I have not purchased any shares yet, however, this is probably a very good time to pick up some shares and hold them.
Yes, it is down from feb 1st time frame.
Hope you rode the wave and got out.
No news for Raven for some time.
STock price has fallen way off.
Where did everyone go??

Their Green Technology
"cellulosic ethanol"
Raven Biofuels International Corporation
#6-260 E. Esplanade
North Vancouver, BC V7L 1A3
Canada
Raven Biofuels International Corp. is a development stage global renewable energy company whose principal focus is the production and wholesale distribution of high quality cellulosic (non-corn) based ethanol, premium fuel-grade biodiesel, sugarcane based ethanol, and derivative chemicals.
Raven possesses a worldwide technology license to a patented and proven cellulosic ethanol production process and plans to develop facilities around the world utilizing this technology. Their objective is to become one of the lowest-cost producers of alternative energy products anywhere in the world and a leading international purveyor of renewable fuels.
Raven and its technology partners have been leading the charge to develop technologies and processes that will transform cellulosic waste biomass into renewable fuels.
To date Raven has achieved the following milestones:
1.$24,000,000 invested in R&D.
2. 9 US patents in three principle areas; process patents for separating sugars to make ethanol and high value chemicals, fuel additives and diesel fuel mixtures.
3.17 International Patents Granted including Europe, Japan, China, India.
4. Extensive independent testing of technology since 1997 with conclusively positive results.
5. The technology that Raven has chosen to commercialize is based on Acid Hydrolysis and further proprietary technology which can produce high value specialty chemicals from agriculture waste products, hence reducing the production cost of ethanol below $1.00 per gallon.
Raven's technology is based on a two stage dilutive acid hydrolysis process. It essentially works by breaking down bio matter, such as wood chips, corn stover, and sugarcane bagasse into primary sugar streams that are then converted into a suite of chemicals including ethanol. Raven management believes this technology is superior to other cellulosic production methods in use today.
Raven Biofuels may well be at the forefront of this emerging multi-billion dollar industry. As this industry evolves, several billion dollar companies will likely emerge from this space. The successful participant need only capture a tiny fraction of the addressable market in the U.S.

Company Projects
USA - Mississippi
Raven has signed a memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Price Biostock to develop a cellulosic ethanol biorefinery located in the Gulf Opportunity Zone of Mississippi. This 35 acre site offers regional benefits such as favorably lower feedstock and labor costs combined with strong State incentives such as The Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone).
The feedstock to be utilized for the biorefinery will be locally sourced wood and wood waste. In association with the GO Zone initiatives the project plan also includes development groundwork for a cogeneration facility to be undertaken in cooperation with local utilities.
The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act was passed into law on Dec 21, 2005 as an initiative to rebuilding the region devastated by multiple hurricanes (Wilma, Rita and Katrina) in 2005.
The cellulosic biorefinery capacity of this facility will be significant. Planned capacity is 33 million gallons per year (MGPY), based on a projected 21 MGPY of fuel grade ethanol and 12 MGPY of furfural products, plus lignin cake.
Raven has prepared initial implementation to fast track planning to start of engineering and groundbreaking.
Canada - British Columbia
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed with the Kamloops Indian Band (KIB) in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The purpose of the MOU is to work together to develop, build and operate a cellulosic biorefinery and cogeneration facility in conjunction with the KIB and our alliance partner Price Biostock.
The site for the biorefinery and cogeneration facility is ideally situated for industrial use near the City of Kamloops. KIB will provide access to feedstock resources secured via a multi-year Provincial forestry agreement in which KIB has rights to 124,000 cubic meters of beetle-killed wood within the Kamloops Timber Supply Area. The forestry agreement augments a forest and range agreement signed by the band in 2005, which granted $2.5 million in shared revenues and 272,000 cubic meters of timber over five years.
The biorefinery is planned to have an annual capacity of 7 million gallons (MGY) of fuel grade ethanol and 4 million gallons of furfural, furfural alcohol, related eco-friendly derivative chemicals and lignin cake. Due to the size of the proposed location, future capacity could be increased to double or triple the plant’s production. We plan to move quickly and develop a course of action for the lease of a 30-acre site with direct rail and road access for the construction of an environmentally safe facility.

CELLULOSIC ETHANOL
While many companies have attempted to produce ethanol from cellulosic (non-corn) waste feedstocks during the past 10 years, Raven has a proven technology that can successfully produce fuel-grade ethanol in commercial quantities. The process is known as “two-stage dilute acid hydrolysis.” Raven’s proprietary process works by breaking down biomass (agricultural waste products such as wood chips, corn stover and sugarcane bagasse) into three primary streams that are then converted into a suite of derivative chemicals, ethanol, and energy producing lignin. The chart below illustrates this process:
How it Works
STAGE ONE: After cellulosic feedstock is ground into a fine stream mass, it passes into a first stage acid hydrolysis process where it is treated with a weak sulfuric acid solution to separate residual xylose (C5 sugars). Since xylose does not easily ferment into ethanol, Raven’s patented process converts the xylose into a derivative chemical product (furfural) which can be sold into the petrochemical and biotechnology industries at significantly higher prices than ethanol.
STAGE TWO: The remaining feedstock is again treated with a sulfuric acid solution. The second stage acid separates glucose (C6 sugars) from the basic feedstock stream. The glucose is then subjected to a standard fermentation process which ultimately produces ethanol.
The final step in the process involves the utilization of lignin. Lignin is considered the “backbone” of all cellulosic waste material and represents only 15% by weight of the original feedstock, but contains about 80% of the heat energy content. Raven’s process takes advantage of this energy source by using high efficiency boilers to generate energy for the plant saving significant energy costs.
