ESLR ----- New Energy Bill Boosts Wind and Solar Companies
WASHINGTON, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. House of Representatives passed a new energy bill which re-authorizes incentives encouraging construction of wind and solar power projects and also introduces important new measures to improve energy conservation. The U.S. Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2008 was passed with bi-partisan support in the House in a 236 to 182 vote.
The wind and solar industry associations have lobbied hard to extend the tax credits which have spurred record growth in both industries over the past five years. Many analysts view the extension as necessary for wind and solar companies to compete on a level playing field. Analysts at Merriman Curhan Ford & Co issued a buy rating for Akeena Solar (Nasdaq: AKNS), the nation's leading installer of solar systems. Janco Partners upgraded Evergreen Solar (Nasdaq: ESLR) from market-perform to buy.
CNBC guest analyst Francis Gaskins put a new higher $4.00 target on wind company NACEL Energy (OTC Bulletin Board: NCEN). NACEL Energy develops utility class wind power and just announced two new Texas projects -- Blue Creek, a 20-megawatt facility north of Amarillo, TX and Channing Flats, a 20-megawatt project in Moore County, TX.

BPZ Resources, Inc., d/b/a BPZ Energy (AMEX:BZP) today announced the signing of two new license contracts for exploration and production of hydrocarbons, thus obtaining exclusive rights to Blocks XXII and XXIII located in northwest Peru.
The license contracts were signed on Wednesday November 21, 2007 in a ceremony at the Presidential Palace hosted by the President of Peru, Mr. Alan Garcia. Present at the ceremony were representatives from 12 companies who signed 18 such license contracts for exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Peru. During the ceremony, broadcasted nationally on television and radio in Peru, President Garcia noted the companies involved would be investing in Peru’s economic growth and that the country welcomed this type of investment. Also, Manolo Zúñiga, President and Chief Executive Officer of BPZ Energy, was asked to address the attendees and the national television and radio audiences. Mr. Zúñiga stressed that each company in attendance has not only been afforded an opportunity, but a larger responsibility to do business the right way in Peru. He also applauded the leaders and staff at Perupetro, noting that they are very accessible and ready to assist all companies to promote each company’s success.
The signing of Block XXII and Block XXIII completes the approximately 2.4 million acres, in conjunction with Blocks Z-1 and XIX, the Company initially plans to develop in northwest Peru.
Block XXII
This block covers approximately 948,000 acres and is located onshore in the Lancones basin, although its southern sector also covers the productive Talara basin of northwest Peru, near the Talara Refinery. During the initial seven-year exploration phase the company has committed to shoot 200 km of 2D seismic and drill 4 exploration wells. The term of the license contract is for 30 years in the case of oil and 40 years in case of gas. Royalties start at 15% if and when production is less than 5,000 barrels of oil equivent per day (boepd) and are capped at 30% if and when production surpasses 100,000 boepd.
Block XXIII
This block covers approximately 248,000 acres and is located onshore between the Company’s offshore Block Z-1 and onshore Block XIX in northwest Peru. This block is located in the Tumbes basin, although in its southern section Talara basin sediments maybe found deeper. The term and royalties are similar to those of Block XXII. During the initial seven-year exploration phase the company has committed to shoot 400 km of 2D seismic, 600 square km of 3D seismic, and drill 4 exploration wells.
Mr. Zúñiga stated: “This is a big day for BPZ Energy and for Peru. To have this kind of event here at the Presidential Palace is truly amazing. I was deeply honored to have the opportunity to speak before President Garcia, the leaders and management of Perupetro and on behalf of the various companies signing license contracts. As a native of Peru, I wanted to stress that BPZ Energy has been doing the right things here since the beginning of our operations to develop hydrocarbons, and to give back to the people and communities of Peru.” Mr. Zúñiga continued, “These two new license contracts will now allow us to implement the geologic models we have been developing during the past few years. We look forward providing more details on these two blocks as they become available.”
License contracts were signed by companies from seven countries; such as Pacific Stratus Energy and Talisman from Canada; BPZ Energy, Hunt Oil, Occidental Oil and Gas, and Vetra Peru from the United States; Ecopetrol from Colombia; Petro-Tech Peruana from Peru; Pan Andean Resources from Ireland; ZSN PE from Russia; PVEP Peru from Vietnam; and SK Energy from Korea. The 18 contracts signed during the ceremony were a record for Perupetro during any single event. Additional information on the latest licensing round in Peru can be found at www.perupetro.com.pe.

BPZ Energy de EEUU producirá 8.000 bpd julio 08' Perú
(Agrega citas y datos)
LIMA, dic 13 . - La estadounidense BPZ Energy producirá unos 8.000 barriles diarios de crudo a partir de julio del 2008 en una reserva ubicada en la costa norte de Perú y ve un gran potencial en la explotación de sus yacimientos de gas, dijo el jueves un ejecutivo.
BPZ Energy posee la concesión de los lotes de hidrocarburos XIX, XXII, XXIII y Z-1 en la regiones de Tumbes y Piura en el norte de Perú, ambas limítrofes con Ecuador.
"A mediados del próximo año vamos a estar en 8.000 barriles, que es algo importante (...) Estos pozos son nuevos y están rindiendo muy bien", dijo a periodistas el presidente ejecutivo de BPZ, Manuel Zúñiga.
El ejecutivo precisó que el petróleo que producirán los pozos será de 23 grados API, "ligero y de buena calidad" para el promedio de la zona.
Actualmente la firma produce en fase de prueba unos 2.000 barriles por día (bpd), que espera incrementar gradualmente a lo largo del próximo año cuando complete la explotación de cuatro pozos en el lote Z-1, ubicado frente a la costa de Piura.
Para el 2008 la firma aspira concretar además dos préstamos de la Corporación Financiera Internacional, brazo financiero del Banco Mundial para el sector privado dependiente, por 150 millones de dólares, que servirán para explotar tres pozos de gas en el lote Z-1 y construir una planta termoeléctrica de 160 megavatios, que será alimentada por dicho yacimiento.
"Hay dos préstamos pendientes, uno de 35 millones y otro de 115 millones. El de 35 va ser para continuar la perforación y el de 115 será para la planta eléctrica. Ese lo esperamos cerrar para antes de medio año y de ahí le damos la luz verde a la construcción de la planta", añadió Zúñiga.
El ejecutivo estimó que la planta eléctrica empezaría a operar "12 meses después" de otorgado el préstamo y requerirá un suministro de unos 40 millones de pies cúbicos de gas por día.
Zuñiga refirió que la exploración de otros campos del lote Z-1, como Albacora, además de los lotes XIX y XXIII incrementarán su producción de petróleo y gas.
"Para mediados de 2009 nuestra meta es tener 8.000 bpd en (el campo de) Corvina, 8.000 bpd en Albacora y 40 millones de pies cúbicos (de gas)", refirió.
Estudios preliminares realizados por BPZ en sus lotes permiten vislumbrar un futuro "importante" para la explotación de gas natural en esa región de Perú, añadió Zúñiga.
"Nosotros esperamos en los próximos dos o tres años estar ahí para petroquímica, para la refinería de Talara, para la agroindustria", afirmó.

Stem Cell Innovations Cites Two Recent Government Documents Supporting the Use of Cell-Based Assays for Toxicity Testing
Stem Cell Innovations (SCLL.OB) (SCI) noted that two recent government panels, one in the US and one in the UK, advocate the use of cell-based assays for toxicity testing. The Company’s human liver-based ACTIVTox® and stem cell-based PluriCell™ systems are specifically designed for this purpose.
The National Research Council, part of the US National Academy of Sciences, published a report entitled “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: a Vision and a Strategy” promoting the use of cell-based models for toxicity testing. Another report entitled “Stem Cells in Predictive Toxicology”, published by the Dept of Health and the Dept of Trade and Industry in the United Kingdom, specifically encouraged the establishment of stem cell-based assays to speed and standardize toxicity testing.
“These two reports, one in the US and one in the UK, affirm SCI’s strategy of using human cell-based assays, rather than animal models, to assess toxicity in new drugs and chemicals,’ said James H. Kelly, PhD, CEO of Stem Cell Innovations. “The UK report, in particular, cites liver, heart and neural models as the top priority, corresponding exactly to those established at SCI.” The Company’s ACTIVTox is a high throughput, human liver-based system used to identify and eliminate toxic liabilities in new drugs. It is currently available as either a kit or a service. Customers can run the assays in house or ship compounds to SCI for evaluation. The Company’s PluriCell stem cell-based system is being used to develop both neural and cardiac models.
The NRC report can be found at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11970. The UK Dept of Health report can be found at http://www.sc4sm.org/downloads/SC4PT-REPORT.pdf.
About Stem Cell Innovations, Inc.
SCI is a cell biology company with an office in Scotch Plains, N.J., and facilities in Houston, TX. The Company’s ACTIVTox system is a human liver based model for high throughput toxicity testing. Stem Cell Innovations proprietary, human pluripotent stem cells, known as PluriCells, have the potential to aid in drug discovery, toxicology, and cell therapy. Stem Cell Innovations is in the process of making its patented pluripotent cell lines, which are eligible for federal funding in the U.S., widely available to universities and other not-for-profit institutions to rapidly advance stem cell research.
