The Global Warming Threat

The looming global warming crisis is the single most serious issue facing our planet today. Accelerating climate changes are responsible for the alteration of the earth's landmass and rising ocean temperatures, destroying ecosystems and threatening the survival of numerous plant and animal species. The scientific community has acknowledged that global warming, primarily caused by manmade greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, will soon pass the point of no return to a healthy atmosphere unless halted and reversed.

In addition to the destructive impact of greenhouse gases, the high price of fossil fuels and the political issues regarding the availability and accessibility of the supply are driving the market demand for alternative fuels.

Within its Industrial Division, Valcent is utilizing its revolutionary technology to develop a photosynthetic bioreactor which is being employed to grow massive quantities of fast-growing vegetable oil producing algae as feedstock for refineries that produce biodiesel, the world's fastest growing bio fuel. The Vertigro process also absorbs and sequesters carbon dioxide, potentially garnering saleable carbon credits. In joint venture with Global Green Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GGRN), four one-quarter acre greenhouses have been constructed and stocked with Vertigro bioreactors in El Paso, Texas. This pilot project is intended to demonstrate commercial scale production and substantiate projected vegetable oil yields of 180,000 gallons per acre per year, and confirm estimated production costs of $25 per barrel. Vertigro is scalable and multi suited for a wide variety of environments and climates. It has potential for global impact as it provides a desperately required, profitable source of vegetable oil feedstock for biodiesel and does not negatively impacting the cost of food crops, such as corn and soy.

In conjunction with the commissioning of the commercial production facility, the Company is nearing completion of a world class laboratory at the test site. This laboratory enables the Company's scientific team to type and characterize algae species in three to four weeks for many purposes, such as optimization with respect to oil production, optimization of growth patterns, determination of climatic and nutrient requirements, selection of suitable native species, and many other vital characteristics. Also, the lab is capable of conducting tests on multiple species simultaneously. If Valcent had to depend on traditional testing methods, that same research would take nine to twelve months to achieve results for a single species.
