Well according to the pr below....what we would need to see is not GKG....but pellets co-firing.....just trying to understand what VSPC is really up to....they really need to give investors/potential investors updates....Carl is saying the pellets will be evaluated........WELL.....we're waiting....

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC - News), a clean energy company growing Giant King Grass as a renewable, high yield biomass energy crop, today announced plans to produce pellets made from Giant King Grass as an alternative to coal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants across the U.S. and Europe.
OF COURSE IT DOESN'T SAY CHINA......it continues.....
VIASPACE Chief Executive Dr. Carl Kukkonen commented: "Co-firing with biomass pellets is probably the simplest and least expensive way to reduce the carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, because it can be accomplished by modifying existing coal plants, and not replacing them. Alternatives such as carbon dioxide capture from the smokestack and storage underground are considered much more expensive and not expected to occur for many years. As a result, co-firing with biomass pellets is now being implemented in Europe.
"As discussed in prior announcements, independent analysis of Giant King Grass has shown it to have excellent energy content and confirmed its suitability for burning in electric power plants," Kukkonen continued. "With this in mind, VIASPACE has produced a prototype of the pellets for evaluation.
Thx a lot Carl.....you've made everything as clear as MUD....
sorry guys.....but can anyone give a reasoned explantion?
Are the pellets just for the U.S. and Europe.....what about China?.....when is the evaluation results going to be announced?.....thx
