Bio Lipidos to Receive Biomass Pilot Plant

It is a great pleasure to announce that the UPR Chancellor (La Rectora de la Universidad de Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras), Dra. Ana Guadalupe and the Dean of the Natural Sciences College Dr. Brad Weiner have signed the purchase contract for the Biomass Pilot Plant Equipment with the University and state of Georgia today. Prof. Ryan Adolphson at UGA has received the notification of the purchase. PREPA has indicated that they will provide warehousing at their Palo Seco, Toa Baja facilities until Bio-Lipids is ready for on-site installation.

Thanks to all who made this a reality and particularly to the generosity of the UGA Engineering Faculty and the Engineering Outreach Program that initially motivated Bio-Lipids with their offer to transfer this very valuable equipment in order to accelerate the development of bio-fuels in Puerto Rico.

Replenish Energy: The Video

The Growing Pains of a Puerto Rican Innovation Company

Background:  Key Concepts

Micro-algae are the World's most efficient renewable energy source. This bio-fuel can deliver 48,000 Megawatts of electricity per million dollars capital invested; compare to 470 for solar panels or 1,300 for wind turbines. Micro-algae also outperform all other land-based biomass with fourteen times greater fuel yield per acre than sugarcane ethanol, and two hundred times greater than soybean oil.

The local Power Authority imports 31 million barrels of oil annually, a $1.7 Billion market opportunity. We will provide a renewable, carbon-negative fuel to either substitute or blend with fuel oil or diesel at well below current petroleum prices.

 

Here are some highlights of our simple, yet innovative model:

• Micro-algae oil production is a carbon sink, consuming more CO2 than is released by burning.
• In a symbiotic advantage, parallel to the micro-algae ponds are other ponds of fish and shrimp. Nutrients are recycled. Our system actually produces renewable energy PLUS Certified Organic seafood!
• This energy model can be "packaged" and replicated throughout the world.

Replenish Energy is a reality today, with the help of government
and private funding, it will lead the way as one of the 
Twenty-first Century's sustainable and replenished energy sources.
