W2 Energy Inc. develops renewable energy technologies and applies it to new generation power systems. Specifically, W2 Energy Inc.'s plasma assisted biomass to energy plants utilize state of the art technologies to produce green energy, both fuel (sulfur free diesel) and electricity, at the most efficient cost in capital investment and production per/barrel, per/Megawatt.

The W2 Energy BPR Biomass Plasma Reactor breaks down biomass or coal using the chemical energy stored in the biomass itself; the plasma acts as a high temperature catalyst. Unlike typical plasma reactors that utilize convection of the intense heat produced by the plasma, our BPR can produce enough Syngas (H2, CO) to feed a 10,000 barrel per day synthetic diesel plant and 100 Megawatt steam turbine with a mere 4 MW input.

Recent news release:
There are currently 14,780,915 outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. Pro Forma numbers support an estimated $.33 per share on an annual basis.

But the real pride of Better World Workshop is the biomass gasifier, which is under development. When completed, the machine will burn wood and other biomass solids to create a gas useful for generating electricity. The end result: enough juice to power approximately 50 to 75 typical American homes.

“Maine is just starting to get into more biomass,” said Barry Bernstein of Better World Energy in Vermont, the leading New England supplier of wood-chip boilers to schools.

Bernstein said a wood-chip boiler represents a higher upfront capital cost than a traditional oil furnace because it requires woodchip storage and a mechanical system for feeding chips and he also acknowledges a small additional maintenance cost. “There is added maintenance cost, but it’s really insignificant when you take in the savings in fuel costs.” The price of woodchips is one quarter the cost of oil and half the cost of natural gas. The threshold for conversion used to be a 50,000 square foot building or 30,000 gallons of oil a year, “but that’s coming down,”
