Two biomass plant proposals in NH community raise sustainability concerns
By Lisa Gibson
Posted October 6, 2009, at 3:55 p.m. CST
Two companies have proposed biomass power plants in Berlin, N.H., furthering the trend of biomass plant development in the northeast portion of the U.S., but raising sustainability concerns, as well.
The attraction to Berlin is the availability of woody biomass and the value of economic development in the region, which saw numerous pulp and paper mills close, thus substantial job loss, according to Bill Gabler, project manager for Clean Power Development LLC. The company plans to build a 29-megawatt biomass plant in Berlin, along with another plant near Winchester, N.H. The Berlin facility could cost anywhere from $60 million to $100 million, Gabler said, and should be operational in the fall of 2012. It will run on 340,000 tons of wood chips per year from a 35-mile radius.
The other potential plant, proposed by Laidlaw Energy Group, is at the former Burgess Pulp Mill near Berlin, which Laidlaw acquired in 2008. Plans include converting and upgrading existing infrastructure to support a biomass power plant and provide jobs to the economically depressed region. The 65-megawatt plant would run on 700,000 tons of woody biomass, including wood chips and other low-grade wood, per year. That poses a problem because studies have shown that a 75-mile radius around the community still would only provide 600,000 tons of woody biomass, Gabler said. A number of studies have confirmed that biomass fuel in the northern New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine region is limited and must be managed on a sustainable basis, according to Clean Power. “I don’t see how both could be built,” Gabler said. Clean Power has not received any complaints about its plans, he said, while some elected Berlin city officials have openly opposed Laidlaw’s plans, with concerns about sustainability. A call to Laidlaw Tuesday was not immediately returned.
The only thing standing in the way of Clean Power’s Berlin plant is a power purchase agreement for the 15 megawatts of electricity it will produce, Gabler said, and the company is in discussions with local utilities. The remaining energy produced will be thermal and a 4,000-foot steam line will run to the Fraser Paper Mill across the river, he said. Fraser burns about 10 million gallons of oil annually, Gabler said. “We will have the capacity to totally displace that,” he emphasized.
Laidlaw is in the process of finalizing its application to the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee for its project, according to the company. The committee’s approval is required in order to move forward. Rail access at the facility could open the door to utilizing cheap fuel from other regions such as storm debris from the southern U.S., according to the company. It estimates the plant could cost about $100 million in capital.

This should give us a little selloff so we can pick up more shares :) Then when the actual report comes out stating we are good on the wood supply we will be back on track.[b/]
Mike NOT opening his mouth over every little piece of news allowed you to buy this stock cheap and not pay .03 - .30 per share.
Just enjoy and BUY, next year you will wish you could buy at its current level at .0035
FYI:Fibrowatt selects Fagen as EPC contractor for biomas power projects
Posted October 6, 2009, at 2:06 p.m. CST
Fibrowatt LLC, a member of the Homeland Renewable Energy Group, has executed an initial agreement with Fagen Inc. for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of its first biomass-fueled power project in North Carolina. The primary fuel consumed by this power plant will be poultry litter. The agreement can also be extended to two additional projects. The terms of the agreement remain confidential.
“We are delighted to work with the Fagen team,” said Fibrowatt CEO Rupert Fraser, “their experience as EPC contractors is very impressive and we are certain that we are moving forward with a contractor that understands the unique characteristics of our technology. This agreement is another step for us in North Carolina--helping the state move forward toward its goal of being a leader in the implementation of home-grown renewable energy.”
Fagen, a leading national design-builder focused on renewable energy projects, is headquartered in Granite Falls, Minn. Fagen is currently ranked No. 37 in the ENR Top 400.
Fagen is pleased to be entering into a working relationship with Fibrowatt. “We believe the Fibrowatt process for energy production is a large step in the right direction towards energy independence and we look forward to being part of their projects,” said CEO and President Ron Fagen.
The initial North Carolina project will produce 55 megawatts of renewable electricity, enough power annually to supply over 40,000 homes.
This Fibrowatt plant will offer three primary benefits:
• A new source of biomass energy, helping the state of North Carolina meet its commitment to renewable energy and providing important greenhouse gas benefits,
• An alternative, beneficial use for poultry litter that will reduce a grower’s exclusive reliance on land application,
• The creation of new jobs and tax revenue for rural North Carolina.
A new means to manage poultry litter is a needed alternative for growers and can be viewed as an important part of the industry’s emphasis on sustainability. In addition to poultry litter, the plant will have the design flexibility to blend wood and other biomass with poultry litter, thus reducing dependency on a single fuel type.

Even though LLEG is not apart of Chicken Litter as long as there JV company is making MONEY they will pass it along to us.
I am confused as well, but I wll still hold onto my shares. I have not made my order at the Ferrari dealer yet
take a 2nd or 3rd mortgage . . This would be a sure sign of a TOP with a regular stock, but LLEG still has A LOT more to go
I dont trade pennies, so I guess I can be wrong. But I am loving the ride.
we need to consolidate and retest .0018 and flush out the weak hands
You were clear with your question and I do understand what you are asking, but I am still not smart enough to know that answer. Would be nice to know that. Someday when we are on the big board and they need to file with the SEC we will have the answer.
Isn't there a rule in the SEC if you own more then 2% of the company you need to file your holdings, or is that 5%?
XYZ I am not smart enough to know that answer. What I do know is the CEO has 10million preferred shares. I do not know the terms of these shares and how many LLEG shares per 1 preferred he will convert them to.
Example. I have Titanium Metals Corp. (TIE) preferred that trade under the ticker TITANIUM METALS PFD (TIELP.PK). 1 preferred TIELP.pk share equals to (I think) 12 Titanium Metals Corp. (TIE) shares of stock.
When Mike does convert these shares it will add to the OS. BUT I am sure this is not going to happen any time soon.
Plus preferred shares usually pay a NICE dividend. This is why I would buy some preferred If mike is willing to sell me some.
flyboy: what stock? I would like to look into it also.
Welcome easleybt
the current total Authorized Shares = 3 billion
and the total Outstanding Shares = 2,227,347,359
There are only the outstanding shares(2,227,347,359) that are trading on the open market now. There are 772,652,641 (3billion - 2,227,347,359) still sitting in the treasury available for release if the CEO want to release them to the public. The CEO will only release the available treasury shares if he needs to raise money for new projects, or pay off any debt.. . etc
Once all the shares of the outstanding (2,227,347,359) are bought up and somone wants to buy LLEG they have to wait for someone to sell there shares before any shares are sold.
If the CEO releases all shares and the Outstanding and the authorized of 3billion and sold then the CEO has the ability to offer what is know as a secondary offering. The secondary offering issues more shares and increases the Authorized share amount by whatever amount they want. this is VERY bad because it dilutes every shareholders % owning of the company.
BUT since we have our Joint venture we no longer need to issue stock to pay our bills. VERY GOOD FOR SHAREHOLDERS.
This is no Boiler Room Pinky . . . there is a real company here and the growth is off the charts. Buy now and hold for 2 - 3 years and you will be VERY VERY happy
Matt, e-mail getting rejected, stating not a valid e-mail
my e-mail DodgeChargerDaytona@gmail.com
patience, no need to rush.
is after 2pm and the blip up to .0029 was on a peanut trade to lure new investors so traders can SELL. I think we settle down to .0023 - .0025
Europe trading day ends at 2pm EST
BLOG UPDATE: more fire for this stock

Hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder...
We just received a draft of the wood study we commissioned for our Berlin, NH project, which is being done for us by Landvest, a very well respected firm in this area. The study unquestionably concludes that more than enough biomass is available on a sustainable basis to support our project. We never doubted this, but it will be good to put this issue to rest.

To fast to soon is NO GOOD.
We need to consolidate here and trade between .002 - .0028 before me move up anymore. Otherwise when the news comes out this stock will sell off HARD.
Buy the rummors SELL the news
I love my balance . . . . MORE TO COME
does not matter.
atlease LLEG is making up for my AOD,JPM and GE holdings that are getting killed.
I am still sitting on Cash but not sure if I want to jump in yet
TO ALL INVESTORS:
Make sure you have A RothIRA account. Why Pay any Taxes on all your LLEG profits
Flyboy: you back in?
I think we will go down a little till all the MM who sold at .0024 buy back in on Monday or Tuesday. UNLESS we get news - as Matt stated before MONDAY is when news is released.
Good luck all us longs and good luck to all the flippers. i hope you can buy back in someday
I enjoyed looking at my balance when we were at .0024
They want to keep it (LLEG) low to force out all the people who bought at .0019 and above. and force a PANIC sell and pick up cheap shares. if you are long term this is GOOD. we do not want to rocket up so fast 1 - 2 ticks a day.
European trading end at 2pm EST. so this could explain our volume before 2pm and lack of volume after 2pm
Politics run the economy, Politics run Berlin and effect LLEG, so in this case Politics regarding Berlin effect LaidLaw and must remain.
I do not think we should place it on the iBOX
We need to consolidate before the next leg up. We want slow and steady. 1 - 2 ticks a day. If we ramp fast we will drop just as fast if not harder.
UPDATED ! The days have come to us longs and we will have many more years of enjoyment from LLEG.
Just remember to set in your SELLS. remember the saying
Bulls make money - Bears make money - and PIGS get slaughtered
Here are my SELLS in place
How about a 299MW woody powerplant. That is a lot of trees
Wales aluminum company proposes woody biomass power plant
By Lisa Gibson
Posted September 29, 2009, at 9:28 a.m. CST
Anglesey Aluminum Metals Ltd., Holyhead, Wales, has submitted an application for approval of a 299-megawatt biomass power plant to be located near the company’s aluminum smelter and possibly power it, according to Stephen Cox, biomass engineer with the company.
If approved, the plant would consume about 2.4 million tons of woody biomass, such as wood chips, pellets or agricultural residues, per year, Cox said. He declined to release a cost estimate for the project, but said Anglesey Aluminum hopes to commence basic construction in early 2011 with a three-year construction period. Currently, the company is going through the appropriate planning applications and engineering feasibilities.
How the energy will be used is undetermined, Cox said, but it could be used to power the company’s smelter or be sold to the grid. Anglesey relies now on power from the Wylfa nuclear power plant, which is scheduled to close in 2010.
Along with the application made under Section 36 of the Electricity Act, the company submitted an Environmental Statement to the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Consultations with national and local organizations were held in June and another public exhibition to present the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment will be held in October, according to the company.
Angelsey is jointly owned by Riotinto Aluminum, Brisbane Queensland 4000, Australia, and Kaiser Aluminum, Foothill Ranch, Calif.

Just to use your numbers
$250 million divided by the AS (3,000,000,000) = .083
$250 million divided by the OS (2,227,347,359) = .11
But we all know these are useless figures till we get Berlin plan up and running.
Good day in the stock market
Lets hit the .0015's HARD so the MM don't see it coming
look at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BEHL.PK we can hit the sky
The only thing I do not like is they did not include LaidLaws Ticker
Laidlaw and Homeland Announce Biomass Project
Sep 28, 2009
Laidlaw Biopower, LLC, an affiliate of Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc. and Homeland Renewable Energy LLC have entered into a joint venture to develop biomass-energy plants throughout the Northeastern United States.
The joint venture company, known as Homeland Laidlaw Energy, LLC, (HLE) provides the joint venture partners with a strong market position in the U.S. renewable energy marketplace with an initial portfolio of four biomass-energy plants under development in the Northeast and plans for significant expansion.
Homeland has agreed to make an equity investment in the joint venture that will provide capital for development as well as proceeds to Laidlaw in consideration for the contribution of several of Laidlaw's development projects to the portfolio.
Laidlaw President and Chief Executive Officer Michael B. Bartoszek stated, "The formation of HLE brings together tremendous synergies between Laidlaw and Homeland. Laidlaw's strength lies is originating, developing and financing exceptional biomass project opportunities and Homeland's strength lies in engineering, building and operating such projects. This joint venture gives the parties everything they need to take a project from conceptual stage to operations within one organization."
Homeland Chair Jack Clarke will serve as Chair of the Board of HLE and Homeland President Rupert Fraser and Chief Operating Officer Carl Strickler will serve on the board of HLE and as corporate officers. Bartoszek will serve as president and chief executive officer of HLE and Laidlaw Vice Presidents Louis Bravakis and Raymond Kusche will hold similar positions with HLE and serve on the board.
The company will be headquartered in New York and maintain offices or personnel in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and London, UK.
Fraser noted that "The HLE joint venture complements Homeland's poultry litter power project business extremely well."
