Here's a start, you can read about Mantra and their flagship tech the ERC on Wiki-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_reduction_of_carbon_dioxide
also check out their website. www.mantraenergy.com
Mantra will take industry waste CO2 and convert into valuable chemicals (formic acid $1500 per ton), recently partnered with industry giant LaFarge for the pilot plant and Kemira Chemicals of Finland. Very promising technology for industry with new regulations coming into effect to reduce CO2 emissions.
EPFL (another partner of Mantra) -
appears that HQ is trying to update us all about what is going on in the carbon world.
pilot plant news is the golden ticket.

Mantra Poised to Take Advantage of Proposed Changes to Government Regulations
SEATTLE, Oct. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mantra Venture Group Ltd. ("Mantra") (OTC.BB:MVTG.ob - News) (Frankfurt: 5MV) is pleased to advise shareholders of the recent announcement by the Government of Canada to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The proposed Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity Regulations (the proposed Regulations) will set a stringent performance standard for new coal-fired units and those that have reached the end of their useful life. This will phase out high-emitting coal-fired generation and promote a transition towards lower- or non-emitting types of generation such as high-efficiency natural gas, renewable energy, or fossil fuel-fired power with carbon capture and storage.
The performance standard element of the proposed Regulations would come into effect on July 1, 2015. In addition, units would be required to begin reporting two years in advance of when they reach their end of useful life date or, in the case of new units, in the first year of operation. Regulated entities would then be subject to enforcement and compliance requirements and penalties as specified under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
Mantra is well positioned to take advantage of the proposed Regulations with their flagship carbon utilization technology known as the Continuous Co-Current Electro-Chemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide ("ERC"). ERC is a cutting edge technology designed for use by large CO2 emitters such as power plants and large manufacturers. This technology takes the CO2 that is being generated and converts it into valuable by-products. The ERC process helps CO2 emitters reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their carbon associated costs while providing a new source of revenue from the conversion of the CO2 emissions into saleable by-products.
"We are excited to be ahead of the curve and able to provide big industry with a viable solution to address the new regulations being proposed by the Canadian Government," stated Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra. "Not only will our ERC technology reduce CO2 footprint for those affected by the new regulations, but will convert the CO2 into revenue generating by-products thereby creating a new revenue stream," continued Kristof.
The proposed Regulations can be found at: http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2011/2011-08-27/html/reg1-eng.html

800 bucks hahah
great stuff. it really is just a matter of time for mantra to really get noticed here.
i am thinking the market maker is stealing the trade and going to re-print it at a slightly lower price to make a few bucks.
i personally do not think it is years. Really, all we need is a PR that says we are building the pilot at LaFarge and that will get things moving.
on a different topic. i believe that a market maker is going short on the stock, because yesterday 10k was bought and today 25k has been bought and hasnt touched the 14600 at .07. We need a bid at .06 to make that guy jump over.
mantra and the ERC have soo many good things going right now. People should not forget who the partners are. world-class companies. im assuming news will come very soon and this will take lift off. looking at the level 2, this is 14600 shares from cleaning out the .07 and being back to 10. We need some bids, dig deep guys. If i could i would. everyone needs to come together and get this puppy moving.
that technology uses an immense amount of electricity and is confined to the geothermal energy of iceland.
i agree with ecomike, right now a 50 cent stock and will move when plant is completed. This company has the cream of the crop partners and a technology with potential like none other. You can not get partners like this if there isnt something special here. Things do take time and some people are out of the loop as to what is really going on and do sell some stock. which has really nothing to do with the overall picture. Just need bids. Remember how thin this market is. We havent seen news in a while so im thinking some is in the very near future.
sure does. this doesnt change the potential of mantra. we need bids.
a great time for new people to load up. wish i had some more dough to throw at this.
here are some massive developments in Australia.

someone should buy a few on the offer. make everyone feel a little better. Im fresh out.
here is a nice little article.

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS
nice to see some good size orders on the bid
i know there is something going on tonight (BBQ and drinks) at the mantra office with some important people and companies.
the orders on the offer are thinning out and bids are stacking.
100K on the bid. wow
well if you go through this document from the Global CCS Institute. Mantra and the ERC technology are talked about through the entire paper. Search Mantra in the document and you see how important that is. It talks about formic acid as a safe hydrogen carrier and the potential of it all.

the pieces of the puzzle are all coming together.
This dates back a while but I remembered this when i read the article from RSC.org and searched it out. Its not on the website maybe because its so old. But here is Mantra working with the EPFL.
Mantra Venture Group Ltd. announced that it has signed a Collaboration Agreement with Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne's (EPFL) Laboratory of Organometallic and Medicinal Chemistry (LCOM) and Granit Green Networks Ltd. (GGN) of Switzerland to engage in a collaborative project to convert CO2 into hydrogen fuel - using formic acid as the carrier.

Kemira Oyj of Finland Becomes Mantra's Development Partner for Its (CCR)Carbon Capture Recycling Technology
SEATTLE, WA, Feb 07, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Mantra Venture Group Ltd. ("Mantra") (OTCBB: MVTG) (FRANKFURT: 5MV) announces it has negotiated, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mantra Energy Alternatives Inc. ("ME") a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Finland-based Kemira Oyj ("Kemira"), one of the world's foremost water chemistry companies. The MOU is very significant to Mantra as it completes a link in its processing and supply chain for the conversion of carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions into the strongest of the organic acids, formic acid. The partnership is mutually beneficial as it both ensures a long-term and steady supply of formic acid to Kemira for their various chemical applications, while it concurrently assists ME in meeting the needs of its ERC industrial clients in resolving CO2 emission problems. Even more compelling to Mantra's business evolution is Kemira's intent and desire to co-partner in developing additional green products using formic acid as a base chemical component. This key partnership sets the platform for multiple future revenue streams for Mantra, Kemira and future industrial clients, all using formic acid derived from ME's novel ERC technology.
As an indication of Kemira's commitment to optimization of the processing and supply chain, they have agreed to build a key component of the ERC system: the back end process which improves the formic acid output up to market ready specification on site. When synergistically combined, the ERC commercial package will include technology from both parties that is scalable and turnkey for industrial clients such as cement plants, coal-fired power plants, refineries, and other large emitters. Optimization of ERC with Kemira's added partnership strength will facilitate the manufacturing of a steady long-term supply of formic acid at a lower cost than existing processes, which are based on fossil fuels, the cost of which are forecasted to increase in the future. Adding further benefit to the partnership opportunity, is Kemira's ability to handle worldwide sales and marketing of formic acid, alleviating any pressure on ME to independently develop a distribution chain.
Kemira is a global EUR two billion green chemicals company that is focused on serving customers in water-intensive industries. It is the second largest manufacturer of formic acid worldwide. Kemira ChemSolutions ("ChemSolutions"), a subsidiary of Kemira Oyj, is a leading producer of formic acid and organic acid salts. ChemSolutions is developing new formic acid recovery and concentration technologies in the TEKES-funded projects under Kemira's SWEET centre (centre for water excellence technologies).
Dr. Frank Wegener, Senior Vice President in charge of ChemSolutions, says that, "the cooperation with Mantra in the development of the formic acid recovery method for the ERC process is an important strategic move in securing a sustainable raw material source for formic acid."
Mr. Larry Kristof, CEO, had this to say:"The involvement of Kemira as a partner marks a major step forward in carrying the ME business plan to fruition. This is a key step and is the result of our last two years of consistent effort. We welcome Kemira, just as we recently welcomed Lafarge, and anticipate that commercialization of ERC will now be faster and more secure."
