Seeds from plant said biodiesel source
07-10-2007 | RANDALL CHASE, Associated Press Writer
John Gallagher pinches a pod from the long-stemmed plant in the greenhouse next to his office, cracks it open and pops the BB-sized seeds into his mouth.
"They're not going to compete with peanuts, but they're good," said Gallagher, a University of Delaware researcher.
While the seashore mallow might be handy for a quick snack, the sturdy plant has provided Gallagher food for thought in addressing a smorgasbord of environmental problems, from global warming to the disappearance of coastal farmland.
Gallagher, a marine biosciences professor, says the seeds are a promising source of biodiesel, with an oil composition similar to that of soybeans and cottonseed.
Unlike soybeans and corn, which require annual plantings to feed the growing appetite for biofuels, the pink-flowered seashore mallow is both a perennial and a halophyte, or salt-tolerant plant, that grows in areas where other crops can't.
"You don't have to divert land that is presently used for producing food and feed to the process of making biodiesel," said Gallagher, who runs the university's Halophyte Biotechnology Center with his wife and fellow researcher, Denise Seliskar.
With the threat of sea water encroaching on farmland and coastal aquifers because of global warming, Gallagher believes the seashore mallow could help preserve the economic value of arable land transitioning to marshland.
The meal left over after oil is extracted from mallow seeds has enough protein to be used for animal feed, while the stems have potential for use in cellulosic ethanol, Gallagher said. The roots of the plant could be used to make industrial gum.
"It's almost like the pig of the vegetable world; you can use everything but the squeal," Gallagher said, noting that the roots sequester carbon from the atmosphere, making the plant a carbon-neutral source of energy.
Dan Soeder, a U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist studying saltwater intrusion in coastal areas, is among those intrigued by Gallagher's research on the mallow as biofuel.
"I don't know if it's going to be the cure for all evils, but it certainly fills a niche," Soeder said. "It's a biofuel crop that you're growing without tying up agricultural land."
While more than 20 countries are involved in saltwater agriculture projects for food crops, the idea of using halophytes as biomass for fuel is a recent development, said Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.
"This is a revolution for agriculture as well as for energy," said Bushnell, who has been advocating the use of halophytes as fuel sources for more than a decade but has been unable to generate much interest among federal agencies.
According to Bushnell, some 250 halophytes are potential food staple crops, while thousands more might be available as fuel biomass.
Gallagher and Seliskar are tending a 2 1/2-acre plot of seashore mallow planted last year at the edge of a farm in Sussex County. While that crop is planted on conventional farmland, plans are in the works for an experimental plot in saline soil elsewhere.
Seed yield would need to be improved before the mallow can be commercialized for biodiesel purposes, but Gallagher and his colleagues say selective breeding, tissue culturing and genetic engineering could improve the crop potential of the plant, which is native to salt marshes stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the mid-Atlantic coast.

Big whoooop! So they change name, big deal
Looks like a holding pattern to me. Just under 34K traded and most everyone is waiting.
Newspapers usually get the facts mixed up and JR ramblings don't help either. From the PR it looks like feedstock materials will be shipped in and finish product will be shipped out.
15 reactors, OK 2 test reactors + 1 freeus, that leaves 12 new reactors. NachezReb reports 4 reactors shipped out last Thursday. Is it part of the 12 or not, I don't know.
We just have to wait (what's new) for the samples of new feedstock to be brought in and run through FreeUs One. It's not
like jawing on this board really adds anything of value to USSE/SSTP.
USSE makes the Carbon, Biofuel and Biogas. USSE sales it to SSTP. SSTP gets markup and green credits when its distributes the products to customers.
It's ok, because I can pick up some more cheap shares. After the latest test and review is complete the price is going to rocket.
Larry I thinks it's the DDSS (ethonal leftovers) that is $150 per ton. The auto fluff has a negative dollar value because it cost to neutralize it and put it in a landfill. Recyclers will want to sell fluff now but you could give them $15 a ton and they would be happy.

eelfland, give us a USSE benchmark that would make you a happy camper.
It's better and more crediable if BCEI/Core and other companies doing the JV send out the PRs and USSE/SSPT does the follow-up with details on installation, construction and steps of completion etc.
Since SSTP is up X3 on volume over usse, looks to me as though BCEI/Core and Iowa connected investors are coming on board. SSTP was only mentioned in BCEI/Core PR.
I guess we'll see what the price will be in a few minutes. My guess is, investors are going to be holding, pending comfirming data and execution of the latest deal. If we start to see construction on-site in Iowa, expect the share price to steadily increase over the next few months.
Actually it's the smell of Green Cash.

Looks like a 45K sq ft building with tankers trucks
JR's Website is off-line right now, Maybe they're updating.
It might dawn on you that glass is an insulator material and that the top of the glass and the stopper wasn't neccessarily in the dry ice, just the bottom of the tube that contained the biofuel.

Great Find! Maybe JR sent that batch of juice to Houston.
Fired off the info to the Houston Chronicle Business editor. Maybe we'll see something in the paper this week.
Agri Max Fuels, Looks like a 45,000 sq ft (est.) facility with alot of tanker trucks. Just off (SE) the intersection of US I-10 and Sam Houston Pkwy North

Here's a review of Fords history
In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company, and after his promotion to Chief Engineer in 1893, he had enough time and money to devote attention to his personal experiments on gasoline engines. These experiments culminated in 1896 with the completion of his own self-propelled vehicle named the Quadricycle, which he test-drove on June 4 of that year. After various test-drives, Henry Ford brainstormed ways to improve the Quadricycle.
Ford, with 11 other investors and $28,000 in capital, incorporated the Ford Motor Company in 1903. In a newly-designed car, Ford drove an exhibition in which the car covered the distance of a mile on the ice of Lake St. Clair in 39.4 seconds (91.3 MPH), which was a new land speed record. Convinced by this success, the famous race driver Barney Oldfield, who named this new Ford model "999" in honor of a racing locomotive of the day, took the car around the country and thereby made the Ford brand known throughout the United States. Ford was also one of the early backers of the Indianapolis 500.
Ford astonished the world in 1914 by offering a $5 a day wage that more than doubled the rate of most of his workers. The move proved extremely profitable. Instead of constant turnover of employees, the best mechanics in Detroit flocked to Ford, bringing in their human capital and expertise, raising productivity, and lowering training costs. Ford called it "wage motive." The company's use of vertical integration also proved successful, as Ford built a gigantic factory that shipped in raw materials and shipped out finished automobiles.
The Model T was introduced on October 1, 1908. It had many important innovations—such as the steering wheel on the left, which every other company soon copied. The entire engine and transmission were enclosed; the 4 cylinders were cast in a solid block; the suspension used two semi-elliptic springs. The car was very simple to drive, and—more important—easy and cheap to repair. It was so cheap at $825 in 1908 (the price fell every year) that by the 1920s a majority of American drivers learned to drive on the Model T, leaving fond memories for millions.

There is a difference between marketability and selling in the market. Ford build a machine with great marketability but it took time to develop the market, production methods and delivery. The job of bringing a product to market is more difficult today because of government regs. (not necessarily a bad thing, but it slows the process down).
I think JR's product has greater marketability and lower production costs when used as fuel or fuel additive. The lubricity of JR's fuel is a very marketable advantage though.
