Wait a minute, what about all the news about the mad cow disease in America? Doesn't that open up a whole new arena for GRNO? After all, there was the BS about taking care of the tallow problem in the UK. Here is what was said about that, but keep in mind that this was the old news release of years ago, not something new. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Oasis Environmental, Inc. (GOE)(OTC: GRNO - news) announces the following progress of its agreements overseas. ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY CONSULTING (EEC) is a privately held U.K. company, which has secured the rights to the GOE technology within the United Kingdom. EEC has selected the site of the first 3000 gallon per hour plant currently scheduled to be manufactured in early 2002. GOE engineers have been working with the British engineering group, R. B. Plant Group, on permits, site requirements and the incorporation of design modifications to process tallow (animal fats) into a low sulfur bio-diesel. According to EEC, approximately 200,000 tons of tallow may be available for processing, and with the growing acceptance of ``new environmental technology,'' the UK government has announced special tax benefits for bio-fuels, which could potentially result in several million dollars of profits to EEC annually. Blending waste oil and Tallow gives the GOE processor ``dual fuel'' capability, and will provide GOE additional applications for its technology. The UK plant contract is valued at $ 3.9 million, with Green Oasis being a 10% minority partner in the U.K. operating company, and an expected operation date in June, 2002. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ With several states already pulling beef from their grocery shelves and America's major trading partners stopping imports of our beef, there will be a major supply of tallow right here at home for GRNO to convert to its low sulfur diesel. And if that sounds like BS, then a lesson has been learned. What follows is a continuation of the story I am sure will play out in coming years which will lead to a new supply of natural gas for the country. North America's supply of natural gas from holes drilled into the ground is running out and the price of its energy is climbing compared to coal and oil. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2003-12-26 Gas Hydrates – Will They Be Considered In The Future Global Energy Mix? For the first time, an international research program involving the Department of the Interior’s U.S. Geological Survey has proven that it is technically feasible to produce gas from gas hydrates. Gas hydrates are a naturally occurring “ice-like” combination of natural gas and water that have the potential to be a significant new source of energy from the world’s oceans and polar regions. Today at a symposium in Japan, the successful results of the first modern, fully integrated production testing of gas hydrates are being discussed by an international gathering of research scientists. The international consortium, including the USGS, the Department of Energy, Canada, Japan, India, Germany, and the energy industry conducted test drilling at a site known as Mallik, in the Mackenzie Delta of the Canadian Arctic. This location was chosen because it has one of the highest concentrations of known gas hydrates in the world. The United States is committed to participating in international research programs such as this one to advance the understanding of natural gas hydrates and the development of these resources. Even though gas hydrates are known to occur in numerous marine and Arctic settings, little was known before the Mallik project about the technology necessary to produce gas hydrates. The successful results from this research form the world’s most detailed scientific information about the occurrence and production characteristics of gas hydrates. The estimated amount of natural gas in the gas hydrate accumulations of the world greatly exceeds the volume of all known conventional gas resources. While gas hydrates hold great potential as an “environmentally-friendly” fuel for the 21st Century, the technical challenges of realizing them as a resource are substantial. Additional research is required to understand and develop new techniques to quantify their distribution in nature. Depressurization and thermal heating experiments at the Mallik site were extremely successful. The results demonstrated that gas can be produced from gas hydrates with different concentrations and characteristics, exclusively through pressure stimulation. The data supports the interpretation that the gas hydrates are much more permeable and conducive to flow from pressure stimulation than previously thought. In one test, the gas production rates were substantially enhanced by artificially fracturing the reservoir. The USGS serves the nation by providing reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life. sciencedaily.com
