Commission presents/displays a reactor that would produce biocombustible
- 9/7/2007

JOHN RIVERA FORETELLS CURRENCY SAVING WITH FURNACE USE

John Rivera offers explanations on the operativity of the reactor or producing furnace of biocombustibles.
SANTO DOMINGO. - The National Commission of Energy presented/displayed in operation of test a reactor or furnace of Catalytic Pyrolysis, that used in great scale would allow to replace to the generators of electricity of the necessary fuel for the power production of the Dominican Republic.

The new technology, created by the North American scientist John Rivera, of U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation that works by heating, uses like raw material in the agricultural product elaboration biocombustibles like oily sugar cane and.

The act of presentation of the new technology was presided over by the Secretary of State and President of the National Commission of Energy, Arístides lawyer Fernandez Zucco, who emphasized the importance for the country of the reactor, because he himself augurs a great change for the economy of the world.

It explained that for the Dominican Republic and the underdeveloped countries that are fuel importers, with the use of that technology would initiate the definitive takeoff towards the development. Whereas the inventor and industralist of the technology John Rivera when giving explanations on the reactor, guaranteed that by means of that method of production of biocombustibles the underdeveloped countries will have great currency savings and they will leave its power dependency.

The technology of the North American scientist consists of the transformation of the biomass by means of high temperature and low pressure without combustion to produce biocombustibles gaseous and liquid, equivalent to used primary fossil fuels in the power markets like natural gas, the gasoline and the diesel oil or the biocombustibles more known like the ethanol and biodiesel.

Biomass
The yield by biomass unit or I ooze is much greater, for example while one ton of soya in grain only allows to obtain about fifty to sixty gallons of biodiesel with the technology of traditional esterificación, with the pyrolysis technology, take place more than one hundred fifty gallons of biocombustible liquid.

While to produce ethanol and biodiesel it is required of an industrial plant of investment specifies for each biocombustible, with that technology the same industrial plant is able to produce equivalent to both biocombustibles of diverse biomasses.

The CNE through their management of Alternating Sources and Rational Use of Energy, has investigated on the modern technology of production of biocombustibles, sending in two occasions to Doroteo architect Rodriguez to know the plant industrial that is constructed in Natchez, Mississippi, that projects to produce million two hundred thousand daily gallons of biocombustibles.

The act of presentation of the producing reactor of which biocombustible Industrial was made in the laboratories of the Institute of Innovation and Biotecnología (IIBI), with the attendance of Dominican technicians.

Mesa of honor was presided over by Arístides Fernandez Zucco, the scientist John Creeks, Bernarda Castillo, Executive director of the IIBI, Zoila de Gutiérrez, Environment Natural Undersecretary and Resources, Doroteo Rodriguez, manager of the CNE and Mountain Manuel, on the part of the Dominican Agrarian Institute, and Onil Abréu, ordered of Biocombustible of the CNE.

JOHN RIVERA PRONOSTICA AHORRO DE DIVISAS CON USO DE HORNO

John Rivera ofrece explicaciones sobre la operatividad del reactor u horno productor de biocombustibles.

SANTO DOMINGO.- La Comisión Nacional de Energía presentó en operación de prueba un reactor u horno de Pirólisis Catalítica, que utilizado en grandes escala permitiría suplir a los generadores de electricidad del combustible necesario para la producción energética de la República Dominicana.

La nueva tecnología, creada por el científico norteamericano John Rivera, de U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation que trabaja por calentamiento, utiliza como materia prima en la elaboración de biocombustibles productos agrícolas como caña de azúcar y oleaginosas.

El acto de presentación de la nueva tecnología fue presidido por el secretario de Estado y Presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Energía, licenciado Arístides Fernández Zucco, quien resaltó la importancia para el país del reactor, porque el mismo augura un gran cambio para la economía del mundo.

Explicó que para la República Dominicana y los países subdesarrollados que son importadores de combustibles, con la utilización de esa tecnología iniciarían el despegue definitivo hacia el desarrollo. En tanto que el inventor y empresario de la tecnología John Rivera al dar explicaciones sobre el reactor, garantizó que mediante ese método de producción de biocombustibles los países subdesarrollados tendrán grandes ahorros en divisa y saldrán de su dependencia energética.

La tecnología del científico norteamericano consiste en la transformación de la biomasa mediante alta temperatura y baja presión sin combustión para producir biocombustibles gaseosos y líquidos, equivalentes a los combustibles fósiles primarios utilizados en los mercados energéticos como gas natural, la gasolina y el gasoil o los biocombustibles más conocidos como el etanol y el biodiesel.

Biomasa
El rendimiento por unidad de biomasa o insumo es mucho mayor, por ejemplo mientras una tonelada de soya en grano sólo permite obtener unos cincuenta a sesenta galones de biodiesel con la tecnología de esterificación tradicional, con la tecnología de pirolisis, se producen más de ciento cincuenta galones de biocombustible líquidos.

Mientras para producir etanol y biodiesel se requiere de una planta industrial de inversión especifica para cada biocombustible, con esa tecnología la misma planta industrial es capaz de producir equivalentes a ambos biocombustibles de diversas biomasas.

La CNE a través de su gerencia de Fuentes Alternas y Uso Racional de Energía, ha investigado sobre la moderna tecnología de producción de biocombustibles, enviando en dos ocasiones al arquitecto Doroteo Rodríguez a conocer la planta industrial que se construye en Natchez, Mississippi, que se proyecta para producir un millón doscientos mil galones diarios de biocombustibles.

El acto de presentación del reactor productor de que biocombustible se realizó en los laboratorios del Instituto de Innovación y Biotecnología Industrial (IIBI), con la asistencia de técnicos dominicanos.

La Mesa de honor estuvo presidida por Arístides Fernández Zucco, el científico John Riveras, Bernarda Castillo, directora Ejecutiva del IIBI, Zoila de Gutiérrez, Subsecretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, Doroteo Rodríguez, gerente de la CNE y Manuel Serrano, por parte del Instituto Agrario Dominicano, y Onil Abréu, encargado de Biocombustible de la CNE.

Approval for Methanol Fuel Cells and Cartridges on Airplanes Proposed by US Department of Transportation

PASADENA, Calif., Sept 25, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), a company commercializing fuel cell technologies from NASA announced that the US Department of Transportation has issued proposed rulemaking to allow passengers to carry and use micro fuel cells and methanol fuel cartridges on board airplanes to power their notebook computers and other consumer electronic devices. The proposed rules were published in the Federal Register on September 20, 2007. This rule would make US transport regulations consistent with global regulations adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that went into effect on January 1, 2007. A number of other countries including Canada, China, Japan and the United Kingdom have already incorporated this rule into their national standards.
"This is a major step toward commercialization of micro fuel cells, and will help the entire fuel cell industry move forward. Fuel cells are important part of global alternative energy and green energy strategies," reports VIASPACE CEO Dr. Carl Kukkonen. "Our subsidiary company Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation produces fuel cartridges for micro fuel cells. These disposable methanol fuel cartridges provide the liquid energy source which the fuel cell converts into electricity to power a notebook computer or mobile phone. Fuel cartridges are disposable and represent a recurring revenue stream similar to printer cartridges or razor blades. Fuel cartridges are made of recyclable materials, but are not allowed to be refilled by the consumer for safety reasons under recently adopted international safety regulations."

Kukkonen continued, "Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation and other fuel cell companies and industry groups have been working for several years to develop the fuel cell safety codes which have now been published by the International Electric Technical Commission (IEC), obtain approval for airplane use by the International Civil Aviation Organization, and approval by the US Department of Transportation. I want to thank the US Fuel Cell Council, the Japanese Electric Manufacturers Association (JEMA), Underwriters Laboratories, the Canadian Standards Association, the Methanol Institute and colleagues in the portable electronics and fuel cell industry for years of hard work to get to this point. US approval for airplanes is a critical factor for success of the micro fuel cell industry. We are very energized by this development which should accelerate product introduction."

In a recent press release, Methanol Institute President and CEO, John Lynn stated, "For everyone that boards an airplane, safety is of paramount importance... The action by the US DOT is a clear endorsement that fuel cell systems and methanol fuel cartridges can meet the most rigorous safety standards. By clearing this hurdle, travelers all the world over will soon no longer fear the dreaded 'battery low' warnings on their laptop computers. They will simply pop out an empty methanol cartridge and replace it with a fresh one."

The proposed rulemaking issued by the Department of Transportation would allow passengers to carry micro fuel cells in the passenger cabin along with up to two spare fuel cartridges. Hydrogen stored in metal hydrides and some borohydrides were not permitted as these are still under consideration by international authorities.
