TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The federal government is speeding up plans to produce more renewable fuels, announcing Friday it will spend nearly $600 million to help build plants that turn wood chips, cornstalks and algae into fuel.
The government will team up with private companies to create 19 biorefinery projects in 15 states. The government's $564 million share will come from stimulus funds and will be combined with $700 million in private investments.
The ideas range from scooping up algae from ponds in New Mexico and converting it to jet fuel to using wood waste from a wall panel company in Michigan to make ethanol.
In announcing the undertaking, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said President Barack Obama told his administration to speed up the timetable for creating renewable fuel projects and jobs.
Vilsack said he sees a time when these type of plants are found all over rural America. Most would be small operations unlike large oil refineries.
"It is really about bringing a sense of new prosperity to rural communities," Vilsack said. "This is going to make a big difference for America."
Most of the plants will use new technology and operate as demonstration or test factories. One goal is to show private investors that renewable energy projects can turn a profit.
The projects have the potential to create an entire new industry and thousands of jobs, especially in rural America where agriculture and forest waste is cheap and plentiful, said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who attended the same news conference in Toledo, where a pilot plant will turn agriculture waste into diesel fuel.
"We tried to pick the most promising projects," Chu said.
Anything from poultry fat to tree branches and even grass clippings could be turned into fuel.
"Those are the ingredients," Chu said. "You're taking waste material and creating a high value fuel."
The 15 states involved are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
How long it will take for privately owned plants to begin operating isn't clear. Administration officials hope to see it happen within the next few years.
Dennis Schuetzle, president of Renewable Energy Institute International, which is operating the Toledo project, said his company hopes its first commercial plant could be operating by the end of 2012.
Ohio is making a push to reshape itself into a renewable energy leader after being battered by auto and manufacturing job losses. There's a proposal for wind mills on Lake Erie off Cleveland, while Toledo is becoming a national hub for solar energy research and manufacturing.
U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a Democrat from Toledo, said the new biodiesel plant, fits nicely with the area's solar industry. "The project being rolled out here, we hope, can be rolled out to the rest of the world," she said.

WESTON, Fla., Aug 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- In keeping with
its mission to provide unique products that greatly benefit the wellbeing of
families, American Scientific Resources (the Company) (Pink Sheets: ASFX), today
announced it has obtained from Safeguard Medical Technologies, LLC exclusive
worldwide rights to sell and market home Needle Destruction Devices (NDD) known
as the Disintegrator(TM) and the Disintegrator Plus(TM).
All current and future sales and contracts worldwide have been granted to the
Company.
Currently the only NDD approved for home use by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the Disintegrator enables patients who need to give themselves
injections to properly and safely dispose of their used needles at home. The
Disintegrator utilizes a unique plasma arc to melt the needle at a temperature
of over 3000 degrees Fahrenheit (ensuring the elimination of any pathogens),
reducing it to a small bb-shaped ball. It uses patented technology that gives it
distinct advantages over similar devices.
"We are quite pleased to have acquired exclusivity on such an innovative product
as the Disintegrator," stated Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta, CEO of American
Scientific Resources, Inc. "Potential worldwide sales look most encouraging."
The Disintegrator has enormous potential to become a world leader in its market.
For example, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and HIV Patients may require daily
injections; this device will ensure that their syringes do not end up harming
anyone from family members to waste haulers.
A congressional bill (S, 1312) is pending which would amend Title XVIII of the
Social Security Act to provide for coverage of supplies associated with the
injection of insulin, of containment, removal, decontamination, and disposal of
home-generated needles, and syringes, through a sharps container, or
decontamination/destruction device under part D of the Medicare program.
The Disintegrator is already gaining a warm reception from the market. In March
2009, Safeguard delivered 5000 units to one of the world's largest healthcare
enterprises. Since then, that global enterprise has placed an additional order
for 2000 Disintegrator units (which American Scientific Resources will fulfill)
and a competing healthcare enterprise has expressed interest to procure an even
larger supply than the combined orders above.
Additionally, according to Safeguard, the first enterprise has a specialty
injection drug that is one of the top selling drugs in their line up. Eventually
they would like to have a Disintegrator in every such user's home in the EU
within 3 years; that translates to over 200,000 units; there are approximately 2
million specialty injection drug users worldwide. With health care transitioning
into the home from the facility, ASFX sees the device as a global leader in
Needle Disposal Technology.
The Company plans to introduce the product commercially in the fall of 2009. The
private label, proprietary models being marketed to the large healthcare
enterprises will be sold for upwards of $120. The Disintegrator is EPA
recommended.

WESTON, Fla., Aug 17, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Kidz-Med, Inc., a
subsidiary of American Scientific Resources Inc., (Pink Sheets: ASFX) today
announced it has received an initial Purchase Order of the Kidz-Med Thermofocus
5-in-1 Non-contact Thermometers from another distinguished baby specialty
retailer, just in time for the start of the 2009-2010 cold and flu season.
Long recommended by doctors throughout the UK, Europe and Asia, the Thermofocus
5-in-1--which was used by medical personnel in Asia during the SARS epidemic
(See BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2986469.stm)--is an ideal
instrument to use to diagnose fevers associated with the flu since it has
absolutely no contact with the skin, making for a completely hygienic and
non-invasive experience.
In just one second, it takes a temperature without ever touching a child's
skin or body. It uses completely safe infrared technology clinically proven to
be as accurate as standard rectal or ear thermometers while providing five
readings of core body, baby's bottle, bath water, food and nursery room all
with one easy to use device.
At the retailer's request, the Company is not yet disclosing the name of the new
customer, which will be conducting test sales in various stores, mostly in the
Northeastern United States as well as one store in the Midwest.
This specialty baby products retailer sells merchandise through baby specialty
stores nationwide and through its website, which garners more than 500,000
monthly visitors including 300,000 unique visitors per month.
The terms of the order will allow reorders in a manner that will permit Kidz-Med
to position itself to meet future purchase order requests from the baby
specialty stores as additional financing is made available.
The Company believes its branding efforts have been well recognized as parents
and caregivers search online and offline for the Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1,
often referring to it in their feedback as "a lifesaver".
"Being able to add this baby specialty chain to our list of esteemed vendors is
extremely exciting for us. By distributing our unique product through yet
another industry leader, we intend to build upon our previous success of
increased first quarter sales," stated Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta, CEO of
American Scientific Resources.
In May, American Scientific Resources reported a marked increase in interest on
non-contact thermometers in response to the growing threat of an H1N1 pandemic.
