amen!!!
Just poppin in to say
whistleblower....you catch on fast.
I guess it was confirmed on Sat!
yeehaa...........N O T H I N G !
Whistleblower,
That's what it must be.
So let them be.
This stock is nothing.
Can these bones live oh son of man???

PNNL study uncovers role of water in forming impurity in bio-oil upgrading; insight into fundamentals of biofuel catalysis
21 August 2014
In working to elucidate the chemistry of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) for the catalytic upgrading of pyrolytic bio-oil to fuel-grade products, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have discovered that water in the conversion process helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions. Results of the study, which was reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, can help improve processes that produce biofuels from plants.
The study examines the conversion of bio-oil, produced from biomass such as wood chips or grasses, into transportation fuels. Researchers used density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio molecular dynamics calculations to provide a detailed atomic-level understanding of how the hydrogenation reactions are influenced by the presence of water and also by the nature of the hydrogenating metal. The results of the study apply not only to water but to related liquids in bio-oil such as alcohols and certain acids.
We are getting to the heart of the fundamentals of biofuels catalysis. The work tells us that the impurity is unavoidable and we need to make sure it does not build up enough to interfere. Although this is a very fundamental issue, it points out for us what types of things we can do to help extend the lifetime of the catalysts we are using to make bio-oil.
—Roger Rousseau, co-author
Pyrolysis—thermal decomposition of large molecules by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C—can be used to convert biomass into a more energy dense—and thus more economically transportable—liquid: bio-oil. The bio-oil liquid contains oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds resulting from the thermal breakdown of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.
Collectively, pyrolysis oil comprises a complex mixture of acids, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones, sugars, phenols, furans, and multifunctional compounds such as hydroxyacetaldehyde. The relative amounts of each compound class can vary depending on the biomass feedstock used and the operating conditions employed during pyrolysis.
In addition to not being as energy-dense as current transportation fuels, bio-oils also have stability issues. Research has shown that upgrading bio-oil to fungible hydrocarbon fuels—such as gasoline and diesel—by employing conventional petroleum refining techniques, such as hydrotreating and hydrocracking, is a promising pathway. According, the US DOE has supported a range of research on stabilizing and upgrading bio-oils (e.g., earlier post).
During the process, phenols undergo a variety of reactions and are converted into ketones. Ketones will link up with others like them and form long chains that “gunk up” the catalysts and interfere with important reactions. Researchers at PNNL wanted to discover the molecular details on how phenol converts to ketone. Ultimately, they discovered, it’s not the catalyst’s fault.
While some ideas existed for how this happens, the team used computers to simulate phenol interacting with catalysts and water to see step-by-step what is going on. To explore water’s role in the reaction, they also simulated the same reactions in a vacuum, which puts everything but the solid catalyst in vapor form. They performed these simulations using resources in EMSL, DOE’s Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at PNNL.
In the simulations, the catalyst is essentially a piece of metal, either nickel or platinum. The phenol molecules and water molecules randomly bounce or land on the metal surface where bonds break and reform between atoms within molecules by shifting electrons around. In this way, a phenol might transform into a ketone.
The team found that the presence of water significantly upped the speed with which the final conversion to a ketone happened. In addition, water also affected how the metal catalyst carried its electrons, which in turn affected how well it catalyzed the reaction between phenol and hydrogen atoms that settle on the catalyst’s surface.

Biofuels will have impact on food prices as industry scales
Isabel Lane | August 11, 2014
In California, research demonstrates that the rapid development of the biofuels sector will result in the industry having an increasingly powerful impact on food prices and food security, according to Rosamond Naylor at a symposium at Stanford University last week.
“The main part of this that I think is so significant is the use of mandates,” Naylor said. “Policies such as the United States’ Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), which sets a national target of using 15 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol per year by 2015, have reshaped price and supply dynamics in both food and fuel markets. “
Because of the substitutability of basic food commodities, Naylor said, price volatility in the corn market has far-reaching consequences. “Prices of corn ripple through all of the world food economy markets…it affects the demand and supply of wheat and rice and soy, and other things,” she explained. And for poor households in the developing world, she said, “it has big income effects…when you’re spending 70 to 80 percent of your budget on food, you’re going to be hurt the most.”

I'm so looking forward when the cloud fills the sky!!!!
some interesting history thay might have some merit TODAY...?!
BAYTOWN, TX--(Marketwire - 02/17/10) - Sustainable Power Corp. (Pinksheets:SSTP - News) today announced that it has resolved all outstanding litigation with Borneo Energy Sendirian Berhad.
Michael Garjian, Chairman of Sustainable Power, advised, "One of my first objectives as Chairman of the Board of SSTP was to determine the facts which led to a lawsuit between Borneo Oil Sendirian Berhad and Sustainable Power Corp. In 2008, as a result of efforts by SSTP board member Scott Hoerr and Borneo's Mr. Edmond Soo, both parties set forth on a path to a mutually beneficial collaboration.
"With the involvement of the independent third party Texas A&M, additional corporate leadership, and a review of the facts, both parties sought to re-evaluate the past, extricate themselves from a time consuming and wasteful litigious situation, and look to the future. As a result, both SSTP and Borneo have agreed to drop their lawsuits, SSTP agreed to issue Borneo an agreed upon amount of stock in consideration for all proceeds previously remitted, and both parties agreed to mutual releases from past events while leaving the door open for future interactions with the possibility of extending the SSTP process at some point into Malaysia.
"I extend my sincere thanks to SSTP Board Member Scott Hoerr, Edmond Soo and Joseph Lee of Borneo, and SSTP counsel and CEO M. Richard Cutler for their help in resolving this situation and I look forward to further communications with the principals of Borneo."

Thank you for ALL your valuable input.
Case 5:08-cv-00245-DCB-JMR Document 88
"Experts agree that experiments with pyrolysis hold promise of developing useful and cost effective technologies to extract energy from abundant forms of organic waste like woodchips, palm oil waste or other organic waste, regardless ofwhether accomplished by the “Rivera Process” or otherwise.

The Commission asserts that its case is not about whether a pyrolytic process like Rivera’s might someday be successful, but about whether Rivera’s claims that USSE had perfected the “RiveraProcess” in any commercially meaningful way were false. The Commission contends that there is no genuine issue of material fact disputing the falsity of Rivera’s alleged misrepresentations."
