Some Potentials

The parent company of the KDV science is AlphaKat Technologies, Gmbh, Germany.

Dr. Koch has the capacity of producing, at his factory in Eppendorf, a minimum of 2 units in KDV500 (500 liters per hr) configurations each month. They are inundated with inquiries and potential orders from Europe and Asia.

The new unit in Canada, after its' commissioning process, went online in April. Due to its’ close proximity, it can serve as a showcase project for potential US customers with serious intent to buy. But we want by all means avoid a general 'KDV Tourism' to our partners and plan to establish our own unit in the US as soon as possible.

Energy Visions' Chairman, Hans Judek, attended the inauguration of the newest and first plant in Spain. This company plans to order up to ten more units for the waste management of Madrid.

Why we are so eager to be successful in the alternative diesel fuel market?

Environmental concerns....and its potential.

Diesel Vehicles -

It is estimated That the latest diesel-related technologies like common-rail direct injection, NOx- and soot filters, such as those on HONDA, Daimler-Chrysler, and future hybrid diesels, will lead to a substantial increase of diesel passenger cars imported into the US from 12 to 15% by 2012. This will add to the steady increasing demand for diesel fuel over 2005’s figures of 56 billion gallons or $1.4 trillion dollars. Conversely, it is not possible for the fossil oil industry to increase the supply of diesel fuel accordingly. This is due to the specifics of cracking technology and the gasoline-to-diesel output mix. Biodiesel will only partly be able to fill the gap.

Ethanol and Biodiesel - the feedstock of which is in direct competition with the human consumption food chain, are already hitting a ceiling (sugar and corn prices are currently impacted upward worldwide), which will not only influence the bottom line, but also alter public support for these technologies. KDV technology, however, does not comprise this problem - the 2.8 billion tons per annum of agricultural waste alone - would (in theory) suffice to produce more than 4 years the total diesel demand of the US. Perhaps this could make America an oil exporting nation again, especially considering the huge amount of municipal waste, which would be a constant, enormous source of feedstock for the KDV.

In China - where air quality standards are rather lax, it is actually open-burned, making the Guangzhou corridor from Shanghai to Beijing a perpetual black overcast. This very same refuse could be shipped to the nearest KDV unit for the eventual millions of ‘made-in-USA’ diesel fuel.

Jet Fuel - In contrast to KDV synthetic fuel, neither ethanol nor biodiesel are suitable as critical aviation fuel. Current efforts are going the direction of coal liquefaction. This technology was developed in the 1920s and was only once implemented on an industrial scale out of military urgency by the Nazis in WW II. Unfortunately, the process is expensive and very inefficient in multiple aspects.
Also, it uses yet another fossil fuel, not regrowth material or unwanted waste as the KDV does, which would make aircraft fuel 'carbon neutral'.

This KDV potential would not only economically viable but, as they are under fire for heavy pollution, it would also be an impressive public image accolade for the airline industry. The current jet fuel mix can contain up to 3000 ppm of sulfur, while California just lowered the standard for vehicle diesel to 15 parts per million, where the KDV is at. USA domestic and cargo airlines consume approximately 25 billion gallons of jet fuel a year, or at the average price in 2006 of $1.67, approximately $42 billion dollars. Add in the $5 billion requirement for military applications and you can see a sizable impact of deficit and pollution.

Homeworked

In the early stages, we looked to various government and State agencies to vet and advise us on the viability of this technology, primarily for the State of California.

• We demonstrated it to the Integrated Waste Management Board; personally to the Secretary of Food and Agriculture and his many departments, the San Francisco Environmental Department; the Clean Air Resources Board; NASA/Ames Research; and the California Energy Commission.

• On the local level it was reviewed favorably by the city of Jose’s Environmental Department; San Francisco International Airport; Cheyenne, Wyoming city council; Cities Of Pacifica; Palo Alto; Tulsa; Honolulu; Los Angeles & Orange Counties; NASA;: The USAF; and others.

• Notices were sent to leading State and Congressional Representatives to bring the notion of this alternative, alternative-energy to the political discussion.

• Not one of these recipients has rejected or dismissed the concept. On the contrary, each has grasped the environmental, social, and economic, potential of this unique technology and heartily encouraged its’ inception.

• These progressions have offered Energy Visions, Inc. challenging opportunities and have come to the attention of the financial industry, putting us in advanced negotiations with several entities in America, the UK and Japan for financial participation in the company.

• Due to the present state of system and business development by AlphaKat, and the market potentials, this would allow us to install KDV 500 units in western states, and increase magnitude to 3 huge KDV 2000 units for processing mega-municipal waste.

• Negotiations with the NASA/AMES Research Park, the city of San Jose, and many additional, ongoing consultations, extends our potential out over a long and prosperous future.

• This has allowed us to win the confidence of Dr Koch and acquire the representation rights for Alpha Kat technologies here in the United States and its’ territories. 

• In regard to these rights, Energy Visions does not intend to impede expansion of the technology within one corporate sphere. Indeed, there is such incredible, over whelming amounts of trash and fuel requirements that it will take hundreds of Energy Visions style companies across America to handle these tribulations.
