GELV - Green Energy Live Inc.
GELV does have technology that can generate ethanol and methane from the traditional foodstocks that other biofuel companies do. But what sets GELV apart is its patented green energy technology that offers the dual benefit of generating energy from renewable sources and, at the same time, reducing pollution and greenhouse gases.
The opportunity is simple: Generate electricity and other co-products (fertilizer, biofuel) from animal wastes and do it in a manner that makes it much more readily accessible to potential customers. The side benefit is that by processing the animal waste for energy it is removed from the waste stream hence "reducing pollution and greenhouse gases" as the company claims.
Let's talk about their "raw material" first.
GELV quotes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that one of the biggest challenges facing livestock producers is managing manure and process water in a way that protects environmental quality and controls odor.
According to the EPA, in one day, a cow generates 120 pounds of manure. California's dairies alone produce 70 billion pounds of manure each year. (You read it right.....BILLIONS) Finding ways to manage such a staggering amount of waste is challenging, especially considering the high costs of hauling and disposal and limited landfill space. If this waste is not properly managed, it can contaminate water supplies, threaten public health and contribute to climate change. (EPA Waste Management Division, August 2009).
Now, let's talk about their "magic bullet":
GELV has technology that will allow it convert wastes that are currently being landfilled, into ethanol and other valuable co-products using a proprietary, patented gasification and conversion technology (Read patent PR HERE) . Their strategy is to acquire or deploy proprietary technologies that will extract the sugars and starch trapped in these wastes with small footprint, low capital cost and low operating cost technology platforms that can rapidly and economically be deployed to the waste site rather than vice versa.
GELV states that their value proposition is producing ethanol and valuable co-products less expensively than can large agribusinesses' corn-based ethanol processors. Plants will be located closer to the waste sources that are also the ethanol consuming markets.
The company states that its first and most profitable energy technology venture is in the area of leveraging patented technology to develop renewable bio-energy systems to convert animal waste into electricity and valuable co-products (fertilizer and biofuels).
