VIASPACE Inc. is a clean energy company focused on products and technology that reduce or eliminate dependence on fossil fuels and other high-pollutant energy sources. The company is developing revenue streams in targeted segments of the renewable and alternative energy markets through two of its subsidiaries – in the renewable space, VIASPACE Green Energy and in the alternative energy space – Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation.

For the renewable energy markets, the company’s subsidiary – VIASPACE Green Energy – is cultivating Giant King Grass, a proprietary, fast-growing perennial grass. This grass will be used for the production of non-food, low carbon liquid biofuels for transportation and as a renewable, low-carbon substitute for coal now being burned as the heat source in stationary electric generating power plants.

In order to generate recurring revenues, the company is pursuing long-term contracts in this area to supply

CleanTech Biofuels Inc. is an early-stage company offering cities and landfill operators its technology to convert municipal solid waste into sustainable biomass for renewable energy production. Earlier this year, the company announced that a test vessel had demonstrated the operational capability of its technology.

CleanTech Biofuels yesterday announced a joint research agreement with GeoSynFuels LLC. The research will measure ethanol yields from CleanTech’s biomass using GeoSynFuels’ proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis process. Under the agreement, CleanTech will initially provide about 10 kilograms of biomass for use in GeoSynFuels’ biofuel process.

CleanTech CEO, Ed Hennessey, stated, “Ethanol yields from our biomass in previous tests have been very positive and we are continuing to measure our renewable fuel output using various conversion technologies. Together CleanTech and GeoSynFuels believe that we can turn garbage into renewable energy and capture recyclables at the same time.”

According to GeoSynFuels’ CEO, Dr. J. Todd Harvey, demand for high-quality biomass is

EcoSystem is a young company that is quickly making a name in the marketplace with innovating industrial-scale applications of bioreactor technology that are designed to resolve compelling ecological challenges while producing valuable products. The company reached a new milestone when they unveiled their MAGFUEL ™ biofuel feedstock model. EcoSystem will apply their bioreactor technology to convert food scrap waste into natural oils for biodiesel feedstock and specialty chemical applications.

The key to EcoSystem’s bioreactor technology is the use of the Black Soldier Fly. When at full capacity, Black Soldier Fly food scrap waste conversion technology could yield up to 190,000 gallons of crude (non-food) natural oils per acre of bioreactor surface area annually. In comparison, soybean yields an average of 40 gallons of oil per acre annually. EcoSystem’s integrated bioreactor is estimated to be deployed at a cost of less than $100 per square foot with minimal use of utilities
