WTG Bob, yes KKRS, been drifting the wrong direction lately...lol...but I think that one will right itself soon enough
ThermaFreeze Inc. Launches Enviro-Energy Initiative; Unveils Core Strategy, Focuses on Energy Production While Treating Agricultural Pollution Headlines
SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2001--ThermaFreeze Inc. (TM) (OTCBB: THFZ) announced that it has finalized its core business strategy and will proceed to fulfill its commitments within this program.
ENVIRO-ENERGY© is a state-of-the-art process designed to produce significant amounts of low-cost electrical energy by treating animal waste streams generated by agri-business, reduce by up to 65% water requirements of dairy/hog producers, and economically process grain straw. First production units are anticipated being "in place" by October of this year.
ThermaFreeze expects that its ENVIRO-ENERGY© will reach $48,000,000 in annual revenue within one year from the generation of 100 Megawatts of power (at $60/MWhr), demonstrating the ability to successfully transform animal wastes and straw into electrical energy and other useful by-products. The company anticipates strong profits from electricity sale rates as low as $60/MWhr. Wholesale power rates have recently risen sharply to highs in the order of $800/MWhr with wholesale rates in the western U.S. exceeding $100/MWhr which are expected to remain high for some time to come. Additional profit will be generated from waste handling fees and the sale of by-products such as potting soil. The company expects to pay for these plants with a combination of internal resources and conventional asset based debt serviced by operating cash flows.
The key to these systems is the ability to mobilize small production units, requiring nominal permitting, engineering and installation times. Many technologies today require massive structures and total capture of waste products throughout a large area. ENVIRO-ENERGY© technology focuses on capturing and treating lower, steady volume of waste. Economies of scale will be achieved by placing units within tight geographic centers. Relatively low unit costs will allow the company to rapidly expand its production while achieving very quick order-to-cash flow cycles.
"ENVIRO-ENERGY© is a major program for us," stated Galen Loven, chairman of ThermaFreeze. "We developed this core strategy during our due diligence and research of Advanced Anaerobic Digestion of animal wastes and further examination of methods to rapidly increase U.S. electrical power generation. The ability to deploy `skid mounted' systems throughout areas of need is a non-traditional and unique method to quickly respond to two critical worldwide issues:
1. the need for more electrical production, and
2. the need to treat animal and grain waste while reducing high demands for water in dairy and hog production.
"Our approach will use community friendly, readily applied, and easily installed technologies in which ThermaFreeze will retain ownership and operating rights to the technology. In time we will become a major electricity producer while providing a major positive impact on environmental waste. During the next few weeks we plan to provide more details on our plans and opportunities by market type, as well as disclose progress on major opportunities and acquisitions designed to rapidly launch ENVIRO-ENERGY©."
