Did a little reading of the SEC filings and this could be pretty big in the end. Drexel and W2 have a 50/50 on all future profits related to the biomass plasma reactor. Also the NETL research mention of future technology sounds very much like the what we are looking at. The Carbon Sequestering project is huge...
I am 99% sure this one's for real. Some of the other techs can piece it all together but only at 100 times the price.
Still looking for facts...

About W2 Energy:
W2 Energy Inc. develops renewable energy technologies and applies it to new generation power systems. Specifically, W2 Energy Inc.'s plasma assisted biomass to energy plants utilize state of the art technologies to produce green energy, both fuel (sulfur free diesel) and electricity, at the most efficient cost in capital investment and production per/barrel, per/Megawatt.
The W2 Energy BPR Biomass Plasma Reactor breaks down biomass or coal using the chemical energy stored in the biomass itself; the plasma acts as a high temperature catalyst. Unlike typical plasma reactors that utilize convection of the intense heat produced by the plasma, our BPR can produce enough Syngas (H2, CO) to feed a 10,000 barrel per day synthetic diesel plant and 100 Megawatt steam turbine with a mere 4 MW input.

But the real pride of Better World Workshop is the biomass gasifier, which is under development. When completed, the machine will burn wood and other biomass solids to create a gas useful for generating electricity. The end result: enough juice to power approximately 50 to 75 typical American homes.

“Maine is just starting to get into more biomass,” said Barry Bernstein of Better World Energy in Vermont, the leading New England supplier of wood-chip boilers to schools.
Bernstein said a wood-chip boiler represents a higher upfront capital cost than a traditional oil furnace because it requires woodchip storage and a mechanical system for feeding chips and he also acknowledges a small additional maintenance cost. “There is added maintenance cost, but it’s really insignificant when you take in the savings in fuel costs.” The price of woodchips is one quarter the cost of oil and half the cost of natural gas. The threshold for conversion used to be a 50,000 square foot building or 30,000 gallons of oil a year, “but that’s coming down,”

About W2 Energy:
W2 Energy Inc. develops renewable energy technologies and applies it to new generation power systems. Specifically, W2 Energy Inc.'s plasma assisted biomass to energy plants utilize state of the art technologies to produce green energy, both fuel (sulfur free diesel) and electricity, at the most efficient cost in capital investment and production per/barrel, per/Megawatt.
The W2 Energy BPR Biomass Plasma Reactor breaks down biomass or coal using the chemical energy stored in the biomass itself; the plasma acts as a high temperature catalyst. Unlike typical plasma reactors that utilize convection of the intense heat produced by the plasma, our BPR can produce enough Syngas (H2, CO) to feed a 10,000 barrel per day synthetic diesel plant and 100 Megawatt steam turbine with a mere 4 MW input.

Listen for the part about the new cold plasma advanced technology in 2008 under gasification - That is our technology. My previous post shows that Drexel has shipped it to NETL for further studies in early part of 2008. Many of NETL's researchers and other universities worldwide are validating W2's GAT (reverse vortex is under the same patent by Gutsol) W2 Energy sponsored the initial research but Drexel is now under a confidentiality agreement.

But the real pride of Better World Workshop is the biomass gasifier, which is under development. When completed, the machine will burn wood and other biomass solids to create a gas useful for generating electricity. The end result: enough juice to power approximately 50 to 75 typical American homes.

“Maine is just starting to get into more biomass,” said Barry Bernstein of Better World Energy in Vermont, the leading New England supplier of wood-chip boilers to schools.
Bernstein said a wood-chip boiler represents a higher upfront capital cost than a traditional oil furnace because it requires woodchip storage and a mechanical system for feeding chips and he also acknowledges a small additional maintenance cost. “There is added maintenance cost, but it’s really insignificant when you take in the savings in fuel costs.” The price of woodchips is one quarter the cost of oil and half the cost of natural gas. The threshold for conversion used to be a 50,000 square foot building or 30,000 gallons of oil a year, “but that’s coming down,”

Sorry this still needs proofreading.
Do your own research and don't take mine as a reason to buy this stock.
3 million is not a problem
All I have to do is post some messages on a few relative message boards but really WTWO will speak up any day now with news and PR which will confirm some of the past announced projects. Some of which were announced a couple of years ago. If shorts were in control it wouldn't have closed at .06 - It would have closed at .04 to .05 - RSI and OBV indicate an explosive move tomorrow.
Public Law 110-246, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), was passed by the House and Senate overturning a Presidential veto on June 18, 2008. With this legislation, Congress enacted 15 titles “to provide for the continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture through fiscal year 2012, and for other purposes.” FCEA includes many biomass-related policy measures.
In brief, FCEA supports biomass development by:
* Funding production and research of specialty crops and animal manure for energy uses.
* Establishing a Renewable Energy Advisory Committee (REC) for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its Land Grant University partners.
* Setting guidelines for Federal Biobased Products Procurement.
* Funding and guaranteeing loans for cellulosic biorefinery construction.
* Funding repowering assistance to replace fossil fuel heat and power with renewable sources.
* Establishing contract grower payments for bioenergy crops.
* Involving the Commodity Credit Corporation in bioenergy crop markets.
* Establishing biofuel producer payments for advanced biofuels.
* Encouraging use of forest feedstocks for bioenergy.
* Supporting biodiesel use for transportation fleets.
* Funding and guaranteeing loans for the Rural Energy for America Program’s renewable energy efforts.
* Reauthorizing the Biomass Research and Development Initiative (BRDI) through 2012, and allowing for more flexible BRDI technical solicitations.
* Establishing a Community Wood Energy Program.
* Requesting a comprehensive cooperative Federal study of biofuels infrastructure needs and solutions.
* Requesting a comprehensive cooperative Federal study of biofuels production, feedstocks, markets, and policies.
* Amending several tax and trade provisions for cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels, including:
o Cellulosic Biofuel Production Tax Credit
o Alcohol Credit and Volume Calculation
o Ethanol Tariffs and Duty Drawback Limits on Imports
Policy measures are funded with a mix of authorized discretionary spending, which will require further congressional appropriations on an annual basis, and mandatory spending. Mandatory spending activities are not required to await a House and Senate appropriations process before receiving funding. Funding details are listed in each section.
W2 Energy probably has a backlog of orders to fill.
More interesting research of mine will be posting in a few days. There is so much of it that it's become quite a mess,
All this time the patent was delayed because the patent office over billed Fridman $1000. Fridman was refunded and now the process completed the day before the July 15th sales order was announced.

One of the first companies to bring a plant online is KL Process Design Group, in Wyoming. With experience making corn ethanol plants, it has built a small plant meant to use pine wastes from a nearby national forest. The company is still testing its production line but hopes to begin commercial sales of ethanol late this year

Here is W2 Energy's Real Problem
Shares Outstanding are not the same thing as the float, Can anyone post a link to the Public Float? I go by the SEC filings.
TIA
The millions they could have made and clean the world at the same time.
rear, NO DILUTION - please discuss
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 900,000 shares of common stock to various unrelated parties for cash totaling $25,000. In addition, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares to an unrelated entity in exchange for services rendered. The Company canceled 61,050,833 shares of common stock held by various individuals and replaced the shares by issuing 61,050,833 shares of Series A preferred stock to these same individuals.
http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=5949457-38009-39274&type=sect&dcn=0001199835-08-000305
How does this equal dilution? Dilution is only a concern when the public traded float increases which adds selling pressure to the share price. 61,050,833 shares were removed from the float which is beneficial to the share price. It also protects W2 Energy from a take over attempt.
2ND GENERATION BIOFUEL
Plasma gasification is the gasification of matter in an oxygen-starved environment to decompose waste material into its basic molecular structure. Plasma gasification does not combust the waste as incinerators do. It converts the organic waste into a fuel gas that still contains all the chemical and heat energy from the waste. It converts the inorganic waste into an inert vitrified glass.
Plasma is considered a 4th state. Electricity is fed to a torch, which has two electrodes, creating an arc. Inert gas is passed through the arc, heating the process gas to internal temperatures as high as 25,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature a few feet from the torch can be as high as 5,000-8000 F. Because of these high temperatures the waste is completely destroyed and broken down into its basic elemental components. There are no tars or furans. At these high temperatures all metals become molten and flow out the bottom of the reactor. Inorganics such as silica, soil, concrete, glass, gravel, etc. are vitrified into glass and flow out the bottom of the reactor. There is no ash remaining to go back to a landfill.
The plasma reactor does not discriminate between types of waste. It can process any type of waste. The only variable is the amount of energy that it takes to destroy the waste. Consequently, no sorting of waste is necessary and any type of waste, other than nuclear waste, can be processed.
The reactors are large and operate at a slightly negative pressure, meaning that the feed system is simplified because the gas does not want to escape. The gas has to be pulled from the reactor by the suction of the compressor. Each reactor can process 20 tons per hour (tph) compared to 3 tph for typical gasifiers. Because of the size and the negative pressure, the feed system can handle bundles of material up to 1 meter in size. This means that whole drums or bags of waste can be fed directly into the reactor making the system ideal for large scale production.
The gas composition coming out of a plasma gasifier is lower in trace contaminants than with any kind of incinerator or other gasifier. Because the process starts with lower emissions out of the reactor it is able to achieve significantly lower stack emissions. The gasifier doesn't care about the amount of moisture in the waste. The moisture consumes energy to vaporize and can impact the capacity and economics, however, it will not affect the process.
http://www.recoveredenergy.com/d_plasma.html
TERRORIST SECURITY
In the event of a chemical or biological attack or a biological crisis such as mad cow disease, there is currently no place to destroy the contamination that would result. As an example, incineration does not destroy the prions (proteins) in mad cow disease. Scientists in England, where they burned piles of infected cattle, believe they may have made matters worse and made the proteins airborne. Plasma gasification is the only system that has high enough temperatures to destroy the risk. Large municipalities should have a local means of both biological and chemical hazardous material destruction that can process large quantities of materials. Currently no city in the world is prepared to destroy tens of thousands of tons of infected materials. Plasma is the most complete and comprehensive form of destruction. Since the Recovered Energy System does not require size reduction for anything less than a meter the Recovered Energy System is well suited for an incident response capability that is safe for the operators and the environment.
