One of the highlights of the international biomass energy conference held in Mexico City on October 7th was a leafy green plant of which most people have never even heard of. The plant is called Giant King Grass (GKG), and its remarkable properties make it a potential solution to the search for clean renewable energy.

In a recently released summary of a presentation given by Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC.OB), GKG was shown to be one of the best potential biomass energy resources on the planet, with a range of other applications as well.

If anyone should know about GKG, it’s Carl Kukkonen, and his enthusiasm carries a lot of weight. Holding his PhD in Physics from Cornell, Dr. Kukkonen spent a number of years at Caltech as Director of the Center for Space Microelectronics Technology and Manager

Dynamotive Energy Systems Corp. (OTCBB: DYMTF) provides energy solutions through its offices in the United States and Argentina. The company’s pyrolysis technology turns biomass into BioOil for power and heat generation. Dynamotive Energy today announced a commercial agreement centralized on its pyrolysis technology, which will allow for the construction of the company’s first plant outside Canada.

“The first project in China marks an important milestone for our company,” Dynamotive Energy’s Chairman Richard Lin stated in the press release. “China’s economic development is in the world’s spotlight, and energy security and environmental protection are two major global concerns. As a leader in the bio-fuel industry, Dynamotive uses its patented technology to convert agricultural residues into valuable and clean renewable energy. The process makes use of non-food resources and creates no competition for land with food crops.”

The agreement will support the development of Dynamotive’s pyrolysis plant in the Henan province in
