Why is GCE's f3 Clean Fuel technology Superior ?
Because: GCE can produce Alga feedstock for its f3 Clean Fuel without the use of Sunlight and without Open Alga Growth Ponds , at an Industrial Scale and at a competitvely advantageous Economy of Scale . No other Alga Production Process has mastered this Production Cycle. The Final Stage of Cracking the Alga Molecules into f3 Clean Transportation Fuels is a proven Patent of GCE and its BCE Engineering Team . .
In One 3 Staged Step , GCE's f3 Clean Fuel will stop the co2 Atmospheric Polluion from Industrial Waste Streams , and provide the existing internal combustion engines and transpotration fuel distribution infrastructure with a Clean Fuel that also produces no noxious co2, no, no2 , and no sulphur .
The American Green Cross.net and its BEC- Engineers hold the KEY to any future Industrial Scale production of ALGAE Based Diesel , Jet-A and Gasoline Fuel , through our Innovative Mechanical and Biological Process ,
which ELIMINATES SUN LIGHT and Open Growth Ponds/Chambers, and accomplishes all this on a Small Footprint .
It is safe to say that the emerging Algae BioFuels industry can not achieve Industrial Scale production , without this technology .
ALGAENTIS does not need either the Sun Light , nor the Open growth Ponds ,, and within a very small footprint , in Alaska or Arizona , irregardless of out door climate, night time ...
No one else has this technology .
This Mechanical and Biological Manufacturing Process is the KEY to any Industrial Scale Production of Alga based Bio-fuels.
Industrial Scale Production of Alga for the Drop-In Biofuels for the U.S. Military and public consumption can not develop without this Technology .
Six Years ago , our engineers , perfected Bio-Diesel production from Lipids, and the cleaning of the waste fats from rendered fats and waste grease in 2005 , after 14 years of R & D , in collaboration with a University in Germany .
In the last 6 years, we have since moved onto Alga Production for Alga Based BioFuels ,
because of the unlimited supply of feedstock that Algae affords us , vs animal fats , and the price of animal fats tripled in EU in 2008 , making the process uneconomical to sustain .
We also realize the need to create new Industry for Job Growth . Our Proposal is that solution .
Our Engineers have engineered the most advanced process for Alga Feedstock production .

Prime Objective : This Drop-In Fuel Process moves the current Alga Growth Production out of the laboratory scale , and into Industrial Scale .
Companies have produced Alga based Fuels in the Laboratory scale , for the U.S. Navy and Air Force for successful testing , but can not produce enough to make a dent in current Fossil Fuel Consumption , because they too are still relying on direct sun light.
Business purpose and goal :
ALGAENTIS' main goal is the mass production of F³-Clean-Fuel (Clean Diesel, Clean Gasoline, Clean JetFuel) in a completely automated small footprint industrial algae production plant in refinerysize allowing Countries to replace import oil with Clean-Fuel .
In connection with a cost effective stunning newly developed patented Cracking Unit , the algal fat-ty acids are converted into F³-Clean-Fuel. In contrast , Crude oil can only convert 57% to fuels compared to ourlipid cracking units converting up to 95%. The fatty acids can be compared to crude oil at a priceof $55- $65. per barrel and lower , considering the converting level of crude oil.
F3 Clean Diesel has been tested for years in Stationary Electrical Generating Engines in Europe.
f3 Clean Diesel tests have proved its quality is superior to Fossil Crude Oil Diesel without any sulfur and a cold plugging point of minus 2.2°F , without additives.
Tests from this field use of f3 have shown that these internal combustion engines last 3 times as long with less maitainance, , the f3 Clean Fuel produces 5% increased energy , the cold plugging point is lower than fossil based diesel fuel , and the f3 Clean diesel is carbon nuetral , emitting no sulphur , and no nitrous oxcide .

The name F³ was chosen because algae can produce the three F’s, Food, Feed and Fuel.
Various algal classes produce amino acids, starch, protein, pigments, fatty acids and more.
Since two years we work intensively with “algae process engineering” and we are now capable of
carrying out an industrial size indoor semi-sterile algae harvest system with a small footprint.
Inside this closed circuit production building the whole semi-sterile process is automated and, af-
ter extraction of the fatty acids the patented cracking unit transforms the fatty acids into F³-
Clean-Fuel. The remaining algal residue is send to a ‘high load’ industrial biogas system to produce
methane and from that electrical power and heat. Because of the use of mixotrophic algae glu-
cose is used to minimize the use of electrical power for the alga production system. The light usedis state of the art and trimmed to be the right frequency and intensity and extremely low powerusage, hence giving the plant an image of a considerable net energy producer. Quantum leap Production output We reach a 1000-times higher yield per area, in relation to worldwide existing algae plants. Tomake our point, we show below the internationally common yields per acre per year. Micro alga international plants: < 1 818 gal/acre [based on existing systems, particularly in the USA]
Micro alga plant in Germany: ˜7 485 gal/acre (IGV) [today the largest indoor system in the world (10 ha)]
Micro alga concept F³-Clean-Fuel >260 000 US barrel/acre [24/7 F³-System] The main reason for the enormous step is simple, if you are not depended on the sun or the
weather process engineering takes over and new horizons appear.
A biologist only needs to concentrate on one production Unit ( proprietary) and its conditions. A 2.5
acre production system takes 2,223,200 production f3 Alga growth containers , where all remain still and immobilized
during the whole production cycle. For the success of this system the importance of technology
shifts dramatically from biology to process engineering. We engineered an automatically con-
stantly slow moving system without stirring or disturbance in the f3 Alga containers in a semi-sterile environ-
ment , running on a 24/7/365 , uninterrupted, continuous closed loop cycle . .
Because of the high quantity produced on a very small footprint , the cost of the GCE Alga Feedstock product is
low.
What it takes
?Algae need CO2,
nutrients, light and glucose and the
appropriate temperature to grow
?Roughly 75% of the imported 3.6 billion barrels of imported crude oil in the US in 2008 was used for Fuel related products
?This represents roughly 2.7 billion barrels
Utilizing the GCE's f3 Clean Fuel production process, there is sufficient co2 emitted from the Coal Fired Power Plants within the U.S.A. to replace all the U.S. daily comsumption of diesel, jet-a , and gasoline .

(production stream also produces high value pigments , animal feed proteins, Omega-3s and human nutritional supplements ) all of which are end products of Algae Production from FFA Free Fatty Acids, derived from co2 capture and its liquefaction .
We concentrate on the FUEL part , the other products naturally flow from side stream
In One , 3 Staged process , we can remove 90% of the co2 from any Coal Fired Power plant and produce an Emissions Free Clean Transportation Fuel ., at volumes sufficient to replace most all Diesel , Jet-A and Gasoline consumed daily in the US, and all in compliance with ASTM Standards , worldwide, at about $1.65. per US Gallon . .

This allows Alga production at 1/ 1000 of the Footprint required for Open Ponds and Sun Light.
Climate , outside temperature and Geography are no longer a consideration.
Using the currently deployed technology , A relatively small coal fired power plant emitting only 7m tons of co2 per year , requires 110,000 acres of open ponds , in order to utilize 90% of its co2.
This is not realistic .
Our Process works in North Dakota , just as well as Arizona, and requires very little water or footprint .
Our process has a net positive energy balance producing 60% of our own energy needs, from waste bio-gas.
Stage #3 is proven from 14 years of development with a university in Germany and is a Patent owned by our engineers.
Stage # 3 : Cracking of the Alga Feedstock's Free Fatty Acids/ Lipid Molecules into a f3 Clean Diesel, Jet-A and Gasoline Replacement for Fossil Fuels, within our Patented Refinery , at an economy of Scale equal to $55./bbl pricing for Crude Oil / or about $1.60 per US Gallon . .
Where we started >
Pictured below is the earlier Cracking Unit we Started with , in 2003 , to produce clean Lipids for Cracking their FFA Molecules into Diesel Fuels. This Process has been eclipsed with shift to Alga Production for Feedstock , and is no longer utilized.
The cracking unit is based upon the triglyceride cracking system system . This stage was
originally designed to crack contaminated fat, swimming on top of waste water inside waste water
plants. The FFA / Free Fatty Acids were frst cracked into triglycerides. Lipid molecule cracking was later designed and made ready for cracking triglyceride into Clean-Fuel. The Lipid Cracking Process is now contracted to us for changing the algal based lipids into F3 Clean Fuel. The interesting
part
of
this
technology
is
the
low
cost
of
the
cracking
process and the low energy usage.
F³-Clean-Diesel-Fuel has been tested for 3 years , and has been proven to run perfectly in
high
rpm Diesel engines, with less exhaust and a better environmental balance ,and with a lower cold plugging point , than Fossil Diesel , in cold periods of
the year. It is not necessary to blend the Clean-Fuel with other
Fuel additives , to run in the standard , current Gasoline, Diesel or Jet fuel engines.

Biogas System We
have
10
years
of
experience
with
biogas
systems
and
have
chosen
a
system
ideal
for
our industrial type waste. Industrial type waste
is a stream of waste always the
same in sub-
stance and quantity. The system has originally
been developed by the Florida State University
and has been improved and adjusted to except
a
higher
dry
substance
content
by
our
con-
tracted biological engineer in Florida.
The high load system is a combination ofcture 1
sludge bed in the bottom cone (see picture 1) and fixed bed in the top part of the digester (seefixed bed material prepared for vertical installation inside the tank - picture 2). There are no mov-ing parts in the digester. The clever combination allows for a minimum cycle time and a maximumyield with top methane levels. The reference project with the latest technology changes is operat-ing since 2007 and shows remarkable positive results. This high load biogas system is ideal for the con-centrated algal residue. After entering the bio-gas facility the concentrated residue is pumpedinto an autoclave for 15 minutes in which theresidue is cracked and insures a much higheryield unless, of course, when an autoclaveprocess for the algal mass took already place.After cooling the residue down to the requireddigesting temperature it is now called feedstockfor the biogas digester. Within 4 to 5 days 80%
Picture 2
of the feedstock has been changed into CH4
(methane). After cleaning and drying the pressureless methane gas is stored in a gas bladder.
Deutsch, MAN or Jenbacher
Gas motors from 1 to 5 MW will be used with ORC technology to
reach 60 to 65% efficiency in electrical power output. If selling the gas after cleaning as natural
gas is more feasible of course gas motors would not be necessary.
Wastewater TreatmentFor this water cleaning process we will use an existing patented system, designed for specific use
with
industrial
waste
water.
In
our
case
this
means
a
steady
stream
of
waste
water
always
containing the same material which is a condition for the use of this system.
The water left over after the extraction of the algae has to be cleaned before sending it back to
the algal filling station and together with the residue from the biogas plant it will be pumped into
the wastewater cleaning system.
