Tuesday October 7, 10:14 am ET
Vertroleum(R) Gas From Trash (MSW) Produced 22,171.8 BTUs per lb
BAYTOWN, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 7, 2008 -- Sustainable Power Corp. (Other OTC:SSTP.PK - News) is pleased to report results from recent AmSpec testing which not only verifies the efficacy of the Vertroleum® gas produced by standard municipal waste, but reflects breakthrough results previously unachieved
On October 1, 2008, Robert Garcia and Neil Boone (Vice-president Special projects) sampled SSTP's waste source MSW gas at SSTP's plant in Baytown, Texas, then brought the samples back to AmSpec's lab to be tested. Robert Garcia performed the tests utilizing a Gas Chromatograph.
AmSpec reported that this clean burning gas does not contain any carbon monoxide and could power the world's largest gas turbine, which generates 340 megawatts, and in combination cycle will generate 530 megawatts. 530 megawatts is sufficient to provide electrical power to three million people.
John Rivera, Chairman of Sustainable Power, stated, "With this breakthrough the facts speak for themselves. Landfill gas methane produces approximately 20 kwh per 10 tons, msw incinerators from other companies produce 5,200 kwh from 10 tons, SSTP produces over 52,000 kwh from 10 tons. Any questions??"
M. Richard Cutler, President and CEO, added, "We are able to generate electricity efficiently and cost effectively, while at the same time reducing our nation's waste. We are currently in discussions with numerous key groups ready to move forward with this amazing technology."
