GreenShift Acquires Rights to Patented Carbon Dioxide Reduction Technology
Monday December 12, 8:16 am ET
New Strain of Thermophilic Cyanobacteria Converts Exhaust Carbon Dioxide Into Pure Oxygen and Clean Water
MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2005--GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board:GSHF - News) today announced the execution by its wholly owned technology transfer and industrial design company, GreenShift Industrial Design Corporation ("GIDC"), of a license agreement with Ohio University ("Ohio") for its patented bioreactor process for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fueled combustion processes.
ADVERTISEMENT
Natural Solutions(TM)
GIDC's business model is based on the engineering and marketing of Natural Solutions(TM) - green innovations and processes that enhance manufacturing efficiencies, improve resource utilization and minimize waste.
Ohio's technology was developed to remove carbon dioxide, one of the primary greenhouse gases, from the smokestacks of fossil-fueled power plants in a way that leverages nature's own solution: photosynthesis. Industrial quantities of carbon dioxide, however, require industrial amounts of photosynthetic activity, and power plant emissions, which are called flue gases, average temperatures in excess of a very hot 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit).
Dr. David Bayless, director of Ohio's Ohio Coal Research Center, realized that he needed a carbon-hungry photosynthetic organism that could withstand the blistering temperatures of flue gases. To be commercially viable, Bayless also realized that he needed to maximize surface area in order to maximize carbon sequestration on the smallest possible footprint. He again turned to nature for the solution.
Using $1 million in U.S. Department of Energy funding, assistance from Keith Cooksey, a microbiologist at Montana State University who had been researching bacteria found in the mineral hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and a system of parabolic mirrors, fiber optic cables and slabs of acrylic plastic called "glow plates" developed by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Bayless designed a bioreactor based on a newly discovered iron-loving cyanobacterium (blue-green algae), tentatively named Chroogloeocystis siderophila, that Cooksey discovered thriving in a hot stream at Yellowstone.
In Bayless's bioreactor, algae grow on membranes of woven fibers resembling window screens interspersed between the Oak Ridge glow plates. Capillary action wicks water to the algae, fiber optic cables channel sunlight into the glow plates, and ducts bring in the hot flue gas. By spreading the cyanobacteria on membranes, "you get a lot of surface area for growth, but you don't need a lot of water and the bacteria use only about 10 percent of full-strength sunlight," Bayless explains. "This enables us to take one square meter of sunlight and spread it out over 10 square meters of growth surface."
The algae use the available carbon dioxide and water to grow new algae, giving off pure oxygen and water vapor in the process. The organisms also absorb nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide, which contribute to acid rain. Once the algae grow to maturity, they fall to the bottom of the bioreactor and are harvested for other uses. "We're storing carbon dioxide in organisms that exist in your backyard," Bayless says. "Once the algae is grown, if it can't be used as fuel or a hydrogen source, it can be used as a fertilizer or soil stabilizer."
A prototype of the technology was built that is capable of handling 140 cubic meters of flue gas per minute, an amount equal to the exhaust from 50 cars or a 3 megawatt power plant.
GIDC's license with Ohio provides for non-exclusive rights to the technology for the purpose of air pollution control of exhaust gas streams from electrical utility power generation facilities, and exclusive rights to the technology for the air pollution control of exhaust gas streams from all other sources, including mobile applications, and to process carbon-containing compounds from any other source.
"Nature has developed solutions to many of the environmental challenges we face today," said Kevin Kreisler, GreenShift Corporation's chairman and chief executive officer. "Dr. Bayless and his associates have tapped these natural solutions and developed what we feel is a very important and timely technology."
"Its importance arises from its simplicity - Bayless' bioreactor is in our view simple, robust and scalable, and it is capable of stimulating additional revenues for power plant operators through the reduction of their carbon emissions and sale of carbon credits. We accordingly believe that this technology is capable of rapid proliferation with the right support, and we intend to provide this support where we can."
In addition to providing financial and other support for GIDC, GreenShift intends to tap into the existing client base and capabilities of some of its other portfolio companies including Sterling Planet, Inc., the nation's largest retailer of renewable energy certificates, TerraPass, Inc., who buys carbon dioxide credits and renewable energy certificates for resale to consumers to offset their car's carbon dioxide emissions.
INSEQ Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board:INSQ - News), another GreenShift portfolio company, will manufacture systems based on the bioreactor technology for GIDC.

MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2005--GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF - News) today announced its plans to market a new line of products based on its proprietary Tornado Generator(TM) technology.
GreenShift's Tornado Generator(TM) accelerates compressed air to supersonic speeds in a closed cyclonic chamber where the air is powerful enough to almost instantly grind, flash desiccate and atomize solid and liquid wastes and other materials into micron sized powders.
Tornado Trash Can(TM)
The current generation of GreenShift's proprietary Tornado Generator(TM) is a completely contained system with no internal moving parts that is powered by compressed air. It can safely and cost-effectively and rapidly process a very broad array of wastes including agricultural wastes, septic wastes, municipal solid wastes, and construction and demolition wastes. In its most basic mode of operation, the Tornado Generator(TM) can simply be used to dramatically reduce the volume of targeted wastes by about 90%, as well as the associated transportation and disposal costs.
GreenShift's new Tornado Trash Can(TM) product line is designed to reduce the volume of waste shipped off-site by commercial clients in appliances engineered to match the form factor of traditional trash cans.
"The key here is distributed waste reduction - helping a great many consumers each do a little bit to reduce what they throw away," said David Winsness, chief executive officer of GreenShift's industrial design group. "GreenShift's Tornado Trash Can(TM) products are designed to cost-effectively reduce disposal costs by decreasing the frequency of off-site disposal. We continue to see this technology as a 'killer-app' green technology and we are looking forward to bringing its many different applications to market."
More information on Tornado Generator(TM) products will be made available in conjunction with the launch of GreenShift's expected initial limited production run of Tornado Trash Can(TM) products in early 2006.
The new Tornado Trash(TM) product line will be manufactured by INSEQ Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: INSQ - News), a 70% owned GreenShift portfolio company, and will initially be sold exclusively through INSEQ's new online green products marketplace, which is slated for launch later this month.
A prototype based on the new design was recently completed and is expected to be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Tornado Generator(TM) technology for prospective clients on-site at their locations.

Thursday December 22, 12:27 pm ET
MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 22, 2005--GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF - News) portfolio company Mean Green BioFuels Corporation ("Mean Green") today announced its plans to build a 30 million gallon per year biodiesel production facility in north-eastern Indiana. The new Indiana facility will be one of five such facilities that Mean Green intends to build, own and operate commencing in 2006.
ADVERTISEMENT
Details regarding the new Indiana facility will be disclosed early next year in anticipation of a press conference that will be held in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area to formally announce Mean Green's plans.
Mean Green intends to finance, build and operate five 20 to 60 million gallon per year biodiesel production facilities in the eastern U.S., where it will utilize its many patent-pending and proprietary oil recovery technologies to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil by producing high quality biodiesel fuels.
Recently cited by President Bush as "one of our nation's most promising alternative fuel sources," biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel that contains no petroleum. It can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend, it can be used in diesel engines with little or no modifications, and it is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.
Over 37 billion gallons of petroleum diesel are used for domestic transportation each year in the U.S. The total demand for diesel fuel approaches 50 billion gallons per year when construction, farming and other off-road uses are considered. The current production of biodiesel in the U.S is less than 100 million gallons per year leaving a considerable demand for the renewable fuel.
"Mean Green's business model is distinct in several ways," said David Cantrell, chief executive officer of Mean Green. "The most important distinction is that our model is based on our use of four oil conversion feedstocks whereas most biodiesel models rely only on one oil."
The Mean Green model is based on the production of biodiesel out of the following sources:
soy bean oil;
animal fats procured from rendering operations;
corn oil extracted from ethanol facilities using Mean Green's breakthrough corn oil extraction technology; and
animal fats derived from dissolved air flotation wastewater sludges using the proprietary technologies of Mean Green's sister company, GreenShift Industrial Design Corporation.
"Our investment in Mean Green is not just about helping the environment," said Kevin Kreisler, GreenShift's chairman and chief executive officer. "It is about reducing America's dependence on foreign oil, re-energizing American agriculture, and creating substantial wealth - both for GreenShift's shareholders and for the local economies in the cities and states we select for construction of our biodiesel facilities."
The new Mean Green biodiesel production facility planned for north-eastern Indiana can be expected to initially create more than 100 new local jobs. At a conservative $2.30 per gallon, the new Mean Green facility can be expected to generate about $69 million in revenue per year once operational.
"We believe that America's agricultural sector is filled with highly-skilled, hard-working and creative people with tremendous potential," added Kreisler. "Biodiesel production provides this work force with an important and timely way to have a significant impact on the state of their regional economies and the overall state of the environment by reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases. We are proud to have the opportunity to invest in American agriculture and we look forward to bringing our plans to fruition in north-eastern Indiana."
Mean Green BioFuels' Technologies
Oil Extraction From Dry Mill Ethanol Facilities
Mean Green's corn oil extraction process redirects an internal waste stream in dry mill ethanol facilities through Mean Green's proprietary and patent pending extraction systems where crude corn oil is extracted and then prepared for shipment offsite for further refining. Mean Green will purchase and sell this oil on the basis of wholesale and retail prices, thereby stimulating near term cash flows pending the initiation of operations at its planned new biodiesel facility.
Mean Green will install the oil extraction equipment in dry mill ethanol production facilities at no charge to client ethanol producers in exchange for first rights of refusal for the oil extracted. Mean Green plans to pay participating ethanol facilities a premium for the oil extract, which will allow for up to 25% in additional profit to the participating ethanol companies with no capital investment.
Oil Recovery from Poultry and Livestock Wastewater Sludge
About 100 million pigs, 35 million cattle, 1.6 billion turkeys, and 8 billion chickens are slaughtered and processed each year in the United States. The USDA requires facilities that process these meats to use large volumes of clean water to continuously rinse the meats as they are cut and packaged. The derivative large volumes of water contain extremely high levels of protein and fat. These nutrients are removed from the wastewater using conventional but highly efficient wastewater processing methods. This results in a cleaned wastewater and a concentrated sludge, which is called Dissolved Air Flotation ("DAF") sludge. The poultry industry alone generates in excess of 2.5 billion pounds or more than 63,000 tanker loads per year of DAF sludge. The conventional practice in the industry is to transport and dispose DAF sludge through land application.
Mean Green's sister company, GreenShift Industrial Design Corporation ("GIDC"), has a proprietary DAF sludge processing technology that effectively reduces the volume of DAF sludge by 80% while recovering the majority of the animal fats contained in the sludge. This fat can be cost-effectively converted into biodiesel fuel.
GIDC intends to install its DAF processing systems at qualified processing facilities for no up front cost in return for fixed annuities equal to a discount to their current gross disposal costs and GIDC's agreement to purchase the refined fats extracted from the DAF sludge. GIDC will then sell these fats to Mean Green for conversion into biodiesel. GIDC estimates that the benefit of its technology for an average sized meat processing facility will be about $400,000 per year.
