John Rivera Voted Most Impactful Personality 2008
Biofuels Digest Readers vote John Rivera, CEO of Sustainable Power Corp, as the personality who will have the most impact on biofuels in 2008
The Biofuels Digest Most Impactful Personality 2008 balloting closed this week, and Biofuels Digest readers voted John Rivera the personality who will have the most impact on biofuels in 2008, beating a total of 40 vote getters including Dr. Peter Zimmer of Coastal Conservancy, Sean O’Hanlon of the American Biofuels Council, Senator Barack Obama and US President George W Bush. Rivera was named on 43 percent of all ballots; he obtained a lead in early polling and was never seriously threatened as the remainder of voters split between a wide range of personalities and causes.
Dr. Rivera, whose company recently sold a 2.44 percent stake to Borneo Oil, and signed a collaboration agreement to install 20 biocrude reactors in Indonesia and Malaysia by summer 2009, was headed for Guatemala this week for talks with a group headed by Julio González Gamarra, president of the Central American Parliament (Parlacen). Parlacen has offered to contribute up to $4 billion for the rollout of the “Rivera” process to Latin America. Parlacen countries have the capacity to install as many as 800 bioreactors, which would use the Rivera process to produce organic fertilizer, heavy crude oil, light crude oil and synthetic gas from carbon-based feedstocks.
The top ten vote getters in the ballot were:
1. John Rivera, CEO, US Sustainable Energy, 43 percent
2. Dr. Peter Zimmer (CEO, Coastal Conservancy), 7 percent
3. Sean O’Hanlon (Executive Director, American Biofuels Council), 7 percent
4. Islamic Terrorism, 6 percent
5. Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois), 4 percent
6. President George W. Bush, 3 percent
7. Sir Richard Branson (CEO, Virgina Atlantic), 3 percent
7. Vinod Khosla (venture capitalist, Khosla Partners), 3 percent
9. Hon. Al Gore (Former US Vice President, Nobel laureate), 3 percent
10. Jeff Broin (CEO, POET Energy), 3 percent
A total of forty groups and individuals received support in the balloting, which was conducted at biofuelsdigest.com and open to all readers of Biofuels Digest, although voters were restricted to one ballot per person.
