Raven Biofuels International Corp. OTC PK: RVBF

By: Publisher 12-27-09

  Raven was formed to address the unprecedented global demand for clean and renewable energy. The principle focus is production and distribution of high quality fuel-grade cellulosic ethanol. Raven's management has strong financial and operational backgrounds, long-standing relationships specific to the renewable energy sector and are transaction-driven executives capable of structuring and undertaking institutional financings. Raven represents a significant opportunity for investors.

   The company is positioned for growth in the more evolved and, potentially, more profitable second wave of biofuel companies (cellulosic), or what experts are calling “Biofuels 2.0”.


The Company Mission

  Raven's mission is to be a world leader in creating environmentally responsible energy and superior returns for its shareholders.

  The company intends to achieve this through the licensing and acquisition of leading edge technologies that transform waste into energy.


Raven Biofuels Technology

  Raven 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 we have 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.
* 21 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.

  The 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 Partners

   Raven Biofuels has established relationships with companies worldwide to bring our vision of producing cellulosic ethanol to reality. From technology providers, joint venture partners and financial institutions to world-renowned engineering firms we have the partners to successfully construct and operate cellulosic ethanol plants.


Eco-Energy
Eco-Energy, a Franklin, TN based business, operates on a foundation to ensure the efficient availability of affordable, renewable and environmentally friendly energy. The company began primarily as an alternative fuel trader and now provides full marketing and logistical support for renewable fuel producers like Raven. Eco currently has over 1 billion gallons per year under contract in North America.



Pure Energy Corporation is a privately held biofuels company based in New Jersey. Pure was established a decade ago and has developed a patented, proprietary technology that employs chemical processes to produce commercial quantities of chemicals and cellulosic ethanol from waste biomass feedstock. Raven has secured a long-term technology licensing arrangement from Pure and currently aims to deploy Pure’s technology within its planned refineries.



Price BIOstock Services, a division of Arkansas-headquartered The Price Companies, Inc. (“Price Companies”) offers over 40 years of operating history with 19 Bio-Mass (Wood Pulp Chip) state-of-the-art facilities that produce 14.6 million tons of pulp chips and 2.5 million tons of hog fuel annually. The BIOstock division offers an expanded set of services for managing biomass feedstock materials including consulting, procurement, systems design/engineering, and facilities management.


Larson Engineering
Larson Engineering is an internationally recognized, full-service engineering firm with clients and projects spanning the globe. The company has offices across the nation and provides engineering services on billions of dollars of construction each year including over 50 ethanol and biofuels facilities throughout the country. Their designs involve all types of construction methods and materials and their ability to offer solutions for sustainable development is the focus of what they do. As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, they are especially proud of their work on biofuels, wind technology, and LEED-certified structures.


Raven Projects

   Raven will build, own and operate all of its own plants and will seek equity partners worldwide. Our technology has been tested for commercial operation and allows us to convert cellulosic waste streams (like wood and agriculture waste) into high value ethanol and derivative furfural chemicals.

  Raven expects to build several bio-refineries over the next five years. Each biorefinery is being designed to produce an initial capacity of more than 10 million gallons per year (10 MPGY) of ethanol and high value furfural chemicals. We intend to significantly increase the initial capacity of our early biorefineries in future expansions. Our planned project is Mississippi would use local wood waste as feedstock. Our second project to be located in British Columbia, Canada is proposed as utilizing pine beetle infested wood for feedstock. This feedstock is readily available and unusable for other applications.

  All of our production will come from cellulosic waste streams rather than expensive corn or sugar. Making renewable fuels from cellulosic materials can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by over 80%.

Numerous other projects in North America and around the world are under development.


John Sams - President & Chief Operating Officer

  John Sams is a 30-year veteran in the energy, power, environmental and process sectors with specific experience in renewable fuels. Mr. Sams has over 20 years experience in senior management. He has held positions as President/CEO of a public company, a private Swedish company, President/COO of a startup clean energy company and a private process heating company. Three of these companies were turnarounds and one a startup. John has succeeded as a "hands on" manager with many large projects including own/operate facilities. He has B.S. in engineering and an MBA.
