USSE hits the blogosphere. WHo knows who these people are or what level of investigation they have done. To my reading it looks like knee jerk responses from people who have not read the recent lab results.

U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. Announces Analysis Reports of Company's Unique Patent-Pending Green Biofuels Conducted by Summit Environmental Technologies, Inc.
Testing Shows Superior Biofuel Over Competition
U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (PINKSHEETS: USSE) announced today the revolutionary cold weather, viscosity and energy content properties of its unique green patent-pending biofuels as reported by Summit Environmental Technologies, Inc., an ISO, A2LA and NELAC certified environmental analytic laboratory utilizing the standard methods, SW-846 & ASTM NIOSH, to perform their tests.

"We are thrilled with the results that Summit has provided on our biofuel," stated John Rivera, CEO of USSEC. "Where the most efficient processes today create 1.5 gallons of an inferior biodiesel in over 24 hours, our proprietary technology allows us to create 5 gallons of a far superior biofuel in under 9 minutes. We believe Summit's analysis further validates that our patent-pending process combines both much higher yield and superior quality, which is essential for the sustainability of bio-renewable fuels. We will be expanding production to our new 4 reactor system generating 24,000 gallons per day in our Natchez facility within 10 weeks time. That system will be the first step in eradicating the nation's dependence on foreign fossil fuels."

The heating value, which is the amount of heat produced when the fuel is burned completely, is higher for the USSEC liquid biofuel than traditional biodiesel. Using ASTM D-240-76 testing standards, Summit reports the heating value of the USSEC biofuel is 128,000 BTU/gal. Traditional biodiesel, which typically has a value around 117,000 BTU/gal and compares favorably to petroleum diesel which typically has a heating value of 130,000 BTU/gal. For comparison, the heating value of typical regular unleaded gasoline is 114,200 BTU/gal, premium gasoline is 116,200 BTU/gal and jet fuel is 122,200 BTU/gal.

In addition the USSEC biofuel exhibits remarkable cold temperature physical properties. Using ASTM D-445 testing standards, Summit reports the pour point of the USSEC biofuels, which is an indication of the lowest temperature at which the fuel can be pumped, is typically less than or equal to -90°F. In fact, the USSEC biofuel did not freeze even at -90°F, the limit of the pour point detector. For comparison, the pour point for petroleum based diesel is around -16°F; the typical pour point for soy bean based bio diesel is 30°F. This allows the company's biofuel to be used in extremely cold temperature conditions.

The USSEC liquid biofuel cloud point is lower than the end temperature limit of the typical cloud point measurement. At low temperatures, paraffin constituents in a fuel oil may appear as a wax forming a cloud. Hence, cloud point is important since the wax formation can clog many fuel filters and render the engine useless. Using ASTM D-97 testing standards, Summit reports the USSEC biofuels may have a cloud point less than or equal to -70°F, even less than or equal to -90°F for some formulations. For comparison, cloud point for petroleum based diesel is about 15°F while the cloud point for soy bean based bio diesel is around 35°F. Thus in addition to being a valuable fuel in its own right, the USSEC biofuel can be used as a supplement or blended with other biofuels and diesels to dramatically improve their cold weather performance.

The USSEC biofuel has an outstanding flash point between that of regular gasoline and petroleum diesel. Using EPA 1010 testing standards, Summit reports the USSEC biodiesel exhibits a flash point ranging from 90°F to 95°F. While flash point can affect a fuel's performance in an engine, e.g., too low will cause the fuel to burn prematurely, causing decreased power and lowering fuel economies, it is primarily important from the viewpoint of safe fuel handling. For example, too low a flash point (high volatility) will cause the fuel to be a fire hazard, subject to flashing.

Finally, using ASTM D-445 testing standards, Summit reports the USSEC liquid biofuel has a viscosity (cSt at 50°C) ranging from 0.8 to 1.1. This range is lower than that of traditional bio-diesels, which range from 1.9 to 6.0 cSt. The higher viscosity of traditional biodiesel has been known to result in gum formation on injector, cylinder liner etc. For this reason, it has been required in the past to blend traditional biodiesel with petro-diesels in an amount of up to 20% of biodiesel. The lower viscosity associated with the USSEC biofuel avoids this gum-formation problem.

About U.S. Sustainable Energy

USSEC holds patent pending technology for a new breakthrough biofuel and carbon-based fertilizer. USSEC has successfully demonstrated the most cost effective method of producing biofuel estimated at $.50/gallon according to exhaustive studies and independent Lab confirmation. The company has developed the process, units and catalyst that will transform agricultural biomass into biofuel and fertilizer. This technology offers a solution for foreign oil dependence, balancing industrial and agricultural concerns with environmental issues and stabilizing and eventually reversing global greenhouse gas emissions. USSEC's research and development has successfully demonstrated the core technology in its fully functional facility located in Port Gibson, MS. The company is currently pursuing fully scalable implementation and deployment at further locations. Unlike other biomass gasification, the USSEC process can operate at a variety of scale, converting even waste biomass into fuel and fertilizer. The fuel produced will ultimately be more valuable than ethanol or methanol, and the USSEC process can convert biomass materials at an efficiency that cannot be matched by currently planned operations. In addition, unlike virtually all other approaches for biomass to energy, which deplete soil nutrients, the USSEC process restores and enhances soil mineral and carbon content. As a direct result of this revolutionary approach to integrated energy and fertilizer production from biomass, the USSEC process effectively removes Greenhouse Gases from the atmosphere, and can do so profitably before the value of Green Certificates and Carbon Credits are considered.
