About Raven Biofuels |
|
   
Raven Biofuels International (OTCBB: RVBF) ("Raven""RVBF")
and its technology partners have been leading the charge to develop technologies
and processes that will transform cellulosic waste biomass into renewable
fuels. To date Raven has achieved the following milestones:
- $24,000,000 invested in R&D.
- 9 US patents in three principle areas;
process patents for separating sugars to make ethanol and high value chemicals,
fuel additives and diesel fuel mixtures.
- 17 International Patents Granted including
Europe, Japan, China, India.
- Extensive independent testing of technology
since 1997 with conclusively positive results.
- The technology that Raven has chosen
to commercialize is based on Acid Hydrolysis and further proprietary technology
which can produce high value specialty chemicals from agriculture waste
products, hence reducing the production cost of ethanol below $1.00 per
gallon.
Raven's technology is based on a two stage dilutive acid hydrolysis process.
It essentially works by breaking down bio matter, such as wood chips, corn
stover, and sugarcane bagasse into primary sugar streams that are then
converted into a suite of chemicals including ethanol. Raven management
believes this technology is superior to other cellulosic production methods
in use today.
Raven Biofuels may well be at the forefront
of this emerging multi-billion dollar industry. As this industry evolves,
several billion dollar companies will likely emerge from this space. The
successful participant need only capture a tiny fraction of the addressable
market in the U.S.

The Renewable Energy Market |

Management at RVBF is also confident that Raven is one of
a few companies globally that is ready go into commercial scale production
of cellulosic biofuels (ethanol) and Raven’s addressable market in the
U.S. exceeds $100 billion annually. Raven only needs to own a fraction
of 1% of its addressable market in the U.S. to become a mid-cap stock.
RVBF's technology is deployable globally and Raven currently trades between
2x and 10x under its comparable companies. This makes RVBF an undervalued,
recession-proof opportunity. |
The 'Renewable Energy' market is diverse. Windfarms in texas,
private equity firms like Altira pumping monies into micro and small-cap
stocks, Public Utilities partnering with companies of every size and sectors
of the general energy industry turning green like Specialty Chemicals and
Diversified Utilities companies like CMS ENERGY (NYSE: CMS). Even in the
fund market: two years ago, Kleiner Perkins announced the creation of its
first green-tech investment fund.
|
The energy market is $6 trillion
To underscore how little is being done at the
federal level, the government funding in U.S. research and development
on renewable energy was less than $1 billion last year, while oil giant
Exxon makes $1.1 billion in revenue a day.
There are however 'issues' within
the renewable
energy sector that have been coming
to the forefront:
What's the best way to go? Corn
for the people or corn for the pump?

RAVEN BIOFUELS TECHNOLOGY
Cellulosic Ethanol
While many companies have attempted to produce ethanol from cellulosic
(non-corn) waste feedstocks during the past 10 years, Raven has a proven
technology that can successfully produce fuel-grade ethanol in commercial
quantities. The process is known as “two-stage dilute acid hydrolysis.”
Raven’s proprietary process works by breaking down biomass (agricultural
waste products such as wood chips, corn stover and sugarcane bagasse) into
three primary streams that are then converted into a suite of derivative
chemicals, ethanol, and energy producing lignin. The chart below illustrates
this process:

to Build Biorefinery to Produce Cellulosic Ethanol
From Wood
Waste in Washington State
PARAMUS,
NEW JERSEY--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 10, 2008 -- Raven Biofuels International
Corporation (OTC BB:RVBF.OB - News) plans
to build a cellulosic ethanol Biorefinery in Washington State, using a
two stage diluted acid hydrolysis. The plant will convert 500 tons per

and is planned to have a production capacity of almost 11 million gallon
per year of ethanol and specialty chemicals (furfural and its derivatives).
The
proprietary technology has been developed during the past 10 years and
has its origins with the Tennessee Valley Authority, who have been extensively
