BioMarine Fuels Inc

BioMarine Fuels Inc. is a development-stage Nevada corporation with research operations in Florida. The company was recently selected for presentation as one of the worlds emerging clean technologies at the prestigious Monaco CleanEquity technology conference held March 3-6, 2010.

BioMarine Fuels is focused on the creation of large scale, commercial production systems of energy-rich algal biomass within a patent-pending, closed photobioreactor system, or SolarMagnatron™. This new technology is designed for use in high-tech farming of "green emission fuels" for the electric power and transportation fuels industry and/or the production of valuable chemicals like Omega 3 oil at $500 per gallon, which is used in pharmaceutical, neutruceutical and food products.

The company intends to combine its R&D efforts with identified new technologies that address the world global warming problem, which will enable it to neutralize major pollution components within industrial plant smokestack emissions by capturing large amounts of waste CO2 and converting other air pollution chemicals into algae nutrients and feedstock for the production of energy-rich algal biomass. The SolarMagnatron™ incorporates many new innovations, including two forms of proprietary electromagnetic technology. One form is a specific resonance energy that has been demonstrated by leading scientists to accelerate algae reproduction (mitoses).

Another R&D partner has a patented, cost-efficient process which transforms wet algae biomass directly into bio-crude oil and substantially increases the rate of algae oil recovery. Using these rights, licenses and/or options granted to BioMarine Fuels by its R&D partners, the company intends to integrate their complementary processes and equipment within the core SolarMagnatron™ biomass production technology.

The combined technologies are called a Symbiotic Energy System (SES) which creates a parent–host beneficial energy relationship producing biofuels and valuable chemicals which may be either fed back into an industrial or electrical power plant as recycled "green emission fuels" to satisfy a part of its energy requirements, used in its manufacturing process, or otherwise sold into the growing world-wide "green" chemical and biofuels markets.

Peabody Energy

Peabody is guided by a singular mission: to be the leading worldwide producer and supplier of sustainable energy solutions, which power economic prosperity and result in a better quality of life. The company has a proud legacy of stewardship and sustainability, earning more than two dozen major honors for safety, environmental excellence and good neighbor practices in the past two years while operating the world's largest and most productive mine in 2008. This reputation is tied to results. Safety is core to Peabody energy's mission, and the company has delivered the best two-year safety performance in its history. Another key principle of the company's mission is to "leave the land in a condition equal to or better than we found it." More than 20 years before land restoration was required by law, Peabody launched "Operation Green Earth," an ambitious program to restore rangeland, wildlife preserves, hardwood forests, wetlands and recreation areas on mind lands. About 6,100 acres of mined lands were restored in 2008, and during the past three years, the company established more than 1,400 acres of forest and planted nearly 1.7 million trees. In addition, the company injected $14,000,000,000 into global economies last year and donated more than $5,800,000 for education, scholarships and community needs in 2008. (Source: Peabody Energy)

Western Lithium

With one of the world's largest known deposits of lithium, the company is ideally positioned to enter the market as a major long term supplier of high quality lithium carbonate. The proposed project is expected to compete as a low-cost lithium carbonate producer with an estimated cash operating cost of US$0.89 per pound, after a potassium sulphate by-product credit.

The project is located in Northern Nevada, which has a long history in the metals and industrial mineral mining industry and a well developed local infrastructure. The project is located close to paved roads, rail and power lines and within easy reach of west coast ports.

Demand for lithium is expected to rise substantially with the widespread adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles using lithium batteries. Currently the supply of lithium is concentrated amongst a few suppliers primarily located in South America and China.

Western Lithium is carrying out additional drilling to advance the project to the next stage of development, completing additional engineering studies, and planning for a pilot program to produce bulk samples of lithium carbonate. Commercial production is targeted for 2013/14.
