kiorq BIOeCON: Biofuels Digest’s 2015 5-Minute Guide
April 26, 2015 | Jim Lane

BIOeCON is a Dutch start-up R&D Company, founded in 2005, with the vision and goal of developing cost-effective technologies to convert lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and/or chemicals.

Within 5 years BIOeCON invented and patented 2 novel breakthrough technologies: Biomass Catalytic Cracking (BCC) a gas phase catalytic pyrolysis process which is the basis for the KiOR process, and a liquid phase solvent dissolution process which uses an inexpensive, recyclable solvent to dissolve and break down biomass waste into components suitable for the conversion to fuel components and chemicals.

Over the last 5 years BIOeCON has been developing the liquid phase solvent process in a joint development cooperation with PETROBRAS SA. An interesting application of the technology is the conversion of (hemi)-cellulose into sugars, which can be further converted into ethers for the production of fuel additives.

New routes under development by BIOeCON enable the conversion of solvent dissolved biomass sugars into ethanol and the conversion of dissolved biomass into zero oxygen containing “green” hydrocarbons.

Up to now the only large scale production route of “green” hydrocarbons as drop-in fuels is via the hydrogenation of triglycerides (vegetable oils) and fatty acid wastes via processes like NESTE’s NExBTL process. However the volume and supply of triglycerides and fatty acid wastes is rather limited and so the real challenge is to convert larger waste streams such as bagasse, sugar cane straw, palm waste and/or wood wastes. BIOeCON’s biomass solvent conversion technology now opens up new routes to do this.

Business

Developing technology to enable the economical conversion of biomass wastes into higher value fuels and chemicals.

Model

BIOeCON strives to be a Technology provider, licensing out the developed technology once the technology has been demonstrated. Partnerships with strategic partners are being pursued.

The Situation

The execution of the first phase of the technology development program (called “BiCHEM Technology”), as defined in a Joint Development Agreement between BIOeCON and PETROBRAS, started in 2010. This phase included exploratory research to validate the process on laboratory scale and was carried out at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. After completion of this first phase, by the end of 2012, the BiCHEM R&D center moved to a new and larger research facility at the center of Eindhoven to continue with phase II, which has the purpose of bringing the technology to the pilot plant scale, which will be concluded by the end of 2015.

With the continued development of BIOeCON’s liquid phase solvent process new technological opportunities have emerged and BIOeCON is presently studying several new processing schemes and valorizing the products. To continue these technology developments BIOeCON is looking for partners that are interested in the conversion of biomass waste into bioethanol and/or “green” hydrocarbons/drop-in fuels

Past milestones

BIOeCON started her breakthrough research on biomass conversion in 2006 at the Universities of Twente, Delft in The Netherlands and Valencia, Spain. The Catalytic pyrolysis technology (Biomass Catalytic Cracking) was developed in Twente and Valencia, while the liquid solvent concept was further developed at the University of Delft.

In 2007 BIOeCON and Khosla Ventures formed KiOR, which continued the R&D, development and commercialization of BCC technology concept. Since 2010 BIOeCON has not been technically involved in this process anymore.

In 2010 BIOeCON setup a joint development with PETROBRAS and founded the BiCHEM laboratory in Eindhoven. From 2010 till end 2012 the process was researched with model feeds, while from 2013 onwards the process was further evaluated with real feedstocks using pilot plant equipment. An important breakthrough was the development of a new separation process to easily separate the dissolution products, such as sugars, from the applied solvent.

Future milestones

The next milestone to be reached by the end of 2015 is the further evaluation of various new processing schemes and potential products enabled by the latest developments in the technology.

BIOeCON is in search of partners for the further scale-up and commercialization of this interesting technology.

Kior plant is not part of BK if it sells we shareholders could see a pay out from the plant sale as most debt will be wiped clean thru chap 11 but Kior still owns the plant patents and such ..NOTHING IS SET IN STONE TILL THE JUDGE SAYS more to gain than lose at this point ..Shorts attacked this stock with over 88 percent still held by insiders ..a share price that as big support down here there to many factors driving this to shoot above a penny ..picking some up slow but steady under a penny

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- According to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by VerticalNews journalists, a patent by the inventor Lin, Ronny W. (Sugar Land, TX), filed on July 13, 2010, was published online on February 10, 2015.

The assignee for this patent, patent number 8952210, is KiOR, Inc. (Pasadena, TX).

Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The present invention relates generally to the treatment of bio-oil. More specifically, the invention concerns processes and apparatuses for removing undesirable solid components from bio-oil.

"With its low cost and wide availability, biomass has increasingly been emphasized as an ideal feedstock in alternative fuel research. Consequently, many different conversion processes have been developed that use biomass as a feedstock to produce useful biofuels and/or specialty chemicals. Existing biomass conversion processes include, for example, combustion, gasification, slow pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis, liquefaction, and enzymatic conversion.

"Many of the existing biomass conversion processes produce bio-oils containing small residual solid particles. Such bio-oils may require filtration in order to remove these residual solid particles. Since the residual solids often contain fine particles of less than 30 microns in size, fine-scale filters are required. Most filters capable of removing residual solids from bio-oil are rapidly clogged by gelatinous-type solids found in bio-oil. This rapid clogging can cause residual solids filtration methods to be expensive and challenging to scale up.

"Accordingly, there is a need for an improved and 'green' process and system for removing residual solids from bio-oil."

In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, VerticalNews editors also obtained the inventor's summary information for this patent: "In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a bio-oil treatment process comprising the steps of (a) coating a porous filter element with particles of a biomass filter aid to thereby provide a coated filter element and (b) passing an initial bio-oil having a liquid phase and residual solids through the coated filter element. During step (b), a substantial portion of the residual solids are retained by the coated filter element, while substantially all of the liquid phase passes through the coated filter element to provide a filtered bio-oil.

"In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a bio-oil treatment process comprising the steps of (a) combining particles of a biomass filter aid with an initial bio-oil having a liquid phase and residual solids to thereby provide a pre-filter mixture and (b) passing the pre-filter mixture through a filter element so that a substantial portion of the residual solids and biomass filter aid are retained by the filter element, while substantially all of the liquid phase passes through the filter element to provide a filtered bio-oil.

"In a further embodiment, the present invention is directed to a biomass conversion system comprising a biomass feedstock source for providing solid particulate biomass, a splitter coupled to the biomass feedstock source that is operable to split the solid particulate biomass into a biomass feedstock fraction and a biomass filter aid fraction, a conversion reactor for thermally converting the biomass feedstock fraction into an initial conversion product, a residual solids separator for removing residual solids from at least a portion of the initial conversion product, a biomass feed system for transporting the biomass feedstock fraction from the splitter to the conversion reactor, and a biomass filter aid transport mechanism for transporting the biomass filter aid from the splitter to the residual solids separator.

"Using biomass as a green filter aid makes it feasible to recycle the spent biomass filter aid for bio-oil production and/or as a combustion heat resource instead of waste disposal as with a conventional filter aid."

Getting close buddie 8k shows there needed to be some house cleaning before they make there next move ..Im very excited will buy once i clear some funds again ..I have been buying since 30s average is getting lower :} 20s makes me happy .50 very happy dollor land ill fly out see you and buy you a beer ..expect 0.05s then a hard rally some week hands left this week volume drys up and bang here comes a 8k lol

.Authority spokesman Jeff Rent said Wed that as far as the state knows KiOR is still open and working did u miss that ?

http://www.governorsbiofuelscoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/GBC-RFS-Letter-.pdf

RFS news keep a eye on it ..word is its all good WE NEED GREEN ENERGY..RFS will be raised and brought up due to bio jet fuel imo Which Kior has

All volume is pretty much shorts trying to break it down again ..another buy op before another rally .if we get Good pr while rally is on we will hold all gains imo

OK GGLR it might be legit they emailed me back said it might be months but thet are filing the paper work so it can be traded via Cnd normally

Well if i could i would buy some here but issue is they have not filed with Canadian SEC ..so i am unable to buy or sell the shares i hold are just sitting there ..If this website and the things in are true God i wish i was in the states ..Nat gas is only going to go up with ta ta trucks looking for nat gas motors for there trucks they are the biggest truck maker India

dude if im reading correct whats written this is huge news ..we will be so fine ..the gas basin in india is MASSIVE 5 percent of it is huge for this little company

Shorts already covered in the all time lows area ..the buying was high of day not shorts, funds imo lets wait for the news see what comes out in the wash ..the idea of that much buying at all time high then the sudden drop is very telling of whats going on some one was buying and u know another billionaire was ..IMO there is a deal done but a certain number of shares needed to be delivered to the person or person buying out kior or funding it ...there are a lot of smoking mirrors on L2 ..watch for bid to move up fast taking out traders shares then dropping back the market ..people who traded with a stop loss on kior probably are all out of this ..but yet here we are still and Evey day we get closer to selling ..but yet everyday we all know a pr must come out ..We know the techs there we know the money can be given to them by any of 3 billionaires ...wood to oil come on this worth money ..imo If oil was 120 none of us would ever of saw kior in the state it is ...its like holding a oil well back not pumping out oil ..till oil prices go up ..but in the mean time you shut down the rig lay off the employes ..DID you see one spot were KIOR said terminated anyone ? I could be wrong but i hope Im not good luck to all and if any one can go to the plant take a look i send some gas money lets get our own answers ..still Over 30 employes working there what are they doing ??

KIORTRADING FINE brought some sold some still waiting on the P.R. ...notice that theres been no more lay offs ????

In fact, the technology -- developed by Twente University professors Leon Lefferts and Prof Kulathuiyer Seshan -- is being tested by KIOR, a Texas renewable fuels company to produce 4,500 barrels of biofuel a day.

DO YOUR DD

http://www.chron.com/default/article/Energy-From-Biofuels-Can-Match-Crude-Oil-Levels-5640591.php

BIOF PEIX PLUG can KIOR be next lets hope so ..

I dont think anybody will buy KIOR but the plant maybe but even that isnt going to bring us back to a buck ..All we can do is wait for SH meeting and see how the stock acts go from there ..Im in for the long hall at this point ..I just belive the tech is there but the oil price is not ...Just like oil and gas companies stop prouduction or lower it when prices are low ..Kior might have shut down for upgrades at the best possible time ..I really do belive with tentions around IRAQ and the mid east we could get 120 oil then we are ready for plant start up again imo ..its how beat up we get till then ..I noticed not many talking here now they probally got stopped out at .35 or under ..Shorty is playing a tuff game I mean whos selling down here ? Most traders gone most week hands gone ..insiders like MR k ab goverment have not sold a share ...why did they get 120days ? why did MR k give the 250 thou plus willing to give another 15 million ..hold tight till sh IMO even on chart tech this think will be picked up by traders imo which i dont want and neither dose shorty the more longs pick up down here the better it is imo traders will flip longs will hold

picked up a few .29s

Still here buds .. OCTOBER 31 st ..ill be here till then forsure ill keep buying @ .31 as more funds come to my account this might hit lower than .30 but i am seeing shorts are covering either company is in on the short or shorty is gunna have to buy way higher theres a reason why they were not forced into BK theres a reason why MR k keeps throwing money at it ..theres a reason why august 6th at SH meeting that Gates needs stock purchase approved ..I really dont think its beacuse BK is on the plan for KIOR but you bet there squeeze KIOR down to the ground before she flys again ..BK stock fly some times KIOR would be the same think about it ...The plant is already profitable at 120 oil ..If you belive oil will reach 150 again then this a gift ..I am beliver yes oil will hit 120-150 again imo Do we have the power to stay a float till then ? im banking on yes ..but I am honest in saying this is only my thoughts I have been wrong before but i have been right lots more than wrong ..Ill give AUMN i begged people to look at it down in the .50 range the stock was 20 bucks at one time when gold was high then when gold dropped they put there mine on stand by till they could get 1200 ounce for gold again ..now go see aumn what price it at and how it worked this is why i belive the plant will run again ..just LIKE AUMN opened up there mine again ..SAME THING HERE OIL HITS 120 KIOR plant be churning wood like a pack of beavers on redbull

Listen I don't write the releases!

THATS THE POINT DOUG AND YOUR DD IS NOT VERY GOOD AS MR DOOMS Just spam on the net

8ks and 10q clearly state no updates since MARCH 31st ..since then MR K gave ten million plus dollors ..why cause there has been nothing done just sitting there?nope beacuse the install was done and thats why the contracted employes were let go ..they ran it tested and now will get funding imo

Rule one no spam from yhaoo or spam posts I belive guster the man who has zero KIOR shares but is bashing every chance he gets ...

Onwards to my post


I wont be talking much about KIOR to many penny flippers and shorts are playing them like a paino hitting every key ..Today i got my notice to vote ..voting items

IM only going to say number 5

Approval of the companys stock purchase agreetment with Gates , llC

I have always said KIOR will not Go BK these are dark times For Kior or would you rather be in great times when plant was running stock was 20 plus dollars and now only 0.36..

the shorts read this blog daily and many more and do many more things knowing whos left whos not left who the rookies are and the ones who are trigger happy..Just Chill much bigger powers are at hand to make this work than we could ever ask for ...The STATE knows whats up no way MR K gives 200m then the last 250 thousand just given a short time ago to let another frim walk in dilutie the crap out of KIOR making his 200m into 20m ..dont ever forget this companys stock could be ZERO tommorow but never has broken 0.30c but it has broken a dollor and 5 dolloars and you get it ..HIGH RISK COULD LEED TO HIGH RETURNS OR HEART BURN IMHO GLTA

Yhea ok thats why you posted five times in fourty eight hours

guster is short. Time to buy 120 days and khosal is still in

KIOR boom baby

very nice am

KIOR last time .33 to 1.06 in 2days same might happen just broke 20 mma

This next Pr is key for KIOR to head back to the 200ma ..NExt 5 million would mean KIOR is doing as asked and closer to better prodoctuion numbers ..Lots of triggers to set this alight and catch shorty ..oil price ie iraq..5 million more Pr other lenders stepping up PR ..Down side is that KIOR says BK if you think that you should of sold a along time ago imo

GLTA

Dont trade with a stoploss they will trigger it ...dont flip for pennys they buy it up sell it right back down ..the shorts need volume to cover ..bulls just need the pr they will move this right back up . breaks .42-.45-.50-55.then she could run back to a buck .it went from .33 to 1.06 in 2 days ..she will pop on 8k with news of next 5 million tranch ..I have been bidding down here hard to get filled they jump the bid showing me this is at bottom ..for today pending no bad news ..If we have 8k after market today which very well could happen and its good news .50 in a heart beat imo

JUst remeber what price oil is 120 oil gives kior a extra 24 million a year revenue that was on old plant production numbers without upgrades ...thats break even so with upgrades and cost cutting form less nat gas use and smaller work force ..traders investors will be chasing this way over a buck ...soon as oil breaks 108 which would mean a break out to 120 oil will not be far away ... i know im bidding buying holding

God man sell dont worrie unless its a 20% move this penny stock will be up and down more than a grooms pants on his wedding night ..if your sweatin every penny move you got a long ride ahead
