Re:<You have so many questions....I bet they can be answered (either way)...>
I'll bet they can't. I'll bet everyone attending will see pyrolysis in action and maybe an engine running 50/50 on some distillation cut of the pyrolysis but that there will be no evidence shown of how much energy the fuel can actually produce in an engine.
Isn't that where the real value resides in a fuel used for renewable energy--the actual renewable energy that can be produced? Mr. Rivera never speaks to that but convinced everyone that the cloud point was extremely valuable. Why do you think he stresses everything but the energy output?
He gives the BTU content which totals to more BTU's than a bushel of soybeans actuall contains. He makes leading statements to suggest that there are more BTUs out than in. Why can't he say how much energy can come out of a bushel?
Despite the very valid BTU concerns, the only mention of it in the CC was that they've tested the fuel and they are always within 0.5 to 1 BTU. That's a tall feat since at 534,000 BTU/bushel and about 90,000 kernels per bushel--if they were off by one kernel or one kernel's worth of oil stuck to the side of the tube, he would be off by five or ten BTUs even if his equipment was as accurate as an atomic clock.
You shareholders are being taken for a ride and as long as you believe in the process with all the trust of a child who still believes in Santa, you're never going to learn. Even a tiny bit of skepticism would be extremely healthy here.
