KiOR, KIOR, Profile, Summary
KiOR | KIOR | Profile | Summary
KiOR is a next-generation renewable fuels company that has developed a proprietary technology platform to convert biomass into renewable crude oil that is processed into gasoline, diesel and fuel oil blendstocks. The company built the first commercial scale cellulosic fuel facility in Columbus, MS, which started production in 2012. KiOR strives to help ease dependence on foreign oil, reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and create high-quality jobs and economic benefit across rural communities.
Key differentiating factors about KiOR include:
-
Breakthrough technology that leverages proven process
-
Ability to use of abundant non-food feedstocks
-
Access to a vast global market and large base of customers
-
Experienced management team that can deliver accelerated growth.
Technology
KiOR has developed a proprietary technology platform to convert sustainable, low-
|
cost, non-food biomass into a hydrocarbon-based renewable crude oil. Using standard refining equipment, the company processes its renewable crude into gasoline and diesel blendstocks that can utilize the existing transportation fuel infrastructure for use in vehicles on the road today.
In essence, KiOR’s technology simply reduces the time it takes to produce oil from millions of years to a matter of seconds. The company’s technology platform combines its proprietary catalyst systems with a process based on existing Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) technology, a standard process used for over 60 years in oil refining. The efficiency of KiOR’s process, called Biomass Fluid Catalytic Cracking (BFCC), and the proven nature of catalytic cracking technologies allow for significant cost advantages, including lower capital and operating costs, versus traditional biofuels producers.
KiOR processes its renewable crude oil in a conventional hydrotreater, which is a standard process unit used in oil refineries, into gasoline and diesel blendstocks that can be combined with existing fossil-based fuels and used in vehicles on the road today.
Products
KiOR produces renewable gasoline and diesel blendstocks that are comparable to their fossil-fuel based counterparts and can easily be dropped-in to the existing fuel supply, offering a more environmentally friendly fuel option to consumers at the pump. According to a full lifecycle emissions analysis of KiOR data, based on the Argonne National Laboratory's Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy Use in Transportation, or GREET model, using KiOR'sdata, KiOR’s gasoline and diesel blendstocks are projected to reduce direct lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80% compared to fossil-based gasoline and diesel.
Given the infrastructure compatibility of its renewable fuels, KiOR expects to access the $2 trillion global transportation fuels market while also benefiting from government programs, such as the US Renewable Fuel Standard.
KiOR’s renewable blendstocks can be combined with conventional gasoline and diesel fuels by refiners and oil companies and sold to distributors of finished products, or end users of fuel products. To date, KiOR has signed fuel offtake agreements with Hunt Refining, Catchlight Energy, and FedEx Corporate Services, thus demonstrating its ability to fulfill the needs of a variety of customers.
Greenhouse Gas Reductions
While KiOR’s blendstocks are comparable to their fossil fuel-based counterparts, because they are made from renewable biomass, they can contribute to significant reductions in carbon emissions. In fact, on a full lifecycle basis, KiOR’s gasoline and diesel blendstocks are projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 80% compared to the fossil-based fuels they displace, according to an analysis of KiOR data by TIAX LLC.

The Alkaline Water Company, WTER, Profile
The Alkaline Water Company | WTER | Profile
The Alkaline Water Company employs a state-of-the-art Electrochemically Activated Water (ECA) system to create 8.8 pH drinking water without the use of any chemicals. The ECA process uses specialized electronic cells coated with a variety of rare earth minerals to produce scientifically engineered water.The Company further incorporate 84 trace Himalayan minerals considered to be the best in the world.
Waternomics
-
A typical American drinks about 10 cases of bottled water a year.
-
In 2011, total bottled water sales in the U.S. hit 9.1 billion gallons — 29.2 gallons of bottled water per person, according to sales figures from Beverage Marketing Corp.
-
The 2011 numbers are the highest total volume of bottled water ever sold in the U.S., and also the highest per-person volume.
-
Bottled water sales aren’t just growing —they’re booming. Volume increased by 4.1 percent in 2011 —five times as fast as the 0.9 percent growth in the sales of beverages overall, according to Beverage Marketing. Bottled water sales, in fact, are growing twice as fast as the economy itself.
-
The U.S Market is predicted to double in in the next two years.
Water is the new front:
Old Rivals Pepsi & Coke fighting for market share
-
The three global giants in the industry Coca Cola and Pepsi and Nestle
-
Pepsi’s Aquafina, introduced in 1997, is now the number one branded non-carbonated bottled water in the US.
-
Coke’s Dasani, launched a few months later, is second in the category. Both are likely to lead the market in the future.
-
Market analysts look for major consolidation among the plethora of brands in the next few years.
-
It is anticipated that large national marketers will buy local brands around the country and shut them down. Why? To reduce competition and, in some cases, to acquire other supply sources for spring water.
-
The battle between Coke and Pepsi and the larger European brands is the “high profile war that will be waged,” predicts at least one industry insider, who adds that branding will remain a deciding factor for discerning consumers. “Quality and trust are going to be critical, so brands will be important.”
The Opportunity
Virtually no competitive products sized larger than 1.5 L in the market.
-
Consumer acceptance for Alkaline water continues to grow significantly due to its many perceived health benefits, making it the water of choice.
-
Bulk Alkaline water can be marketed at a consumer price point significantly less, per ounce, than existing brands.
-
There is a high demand amongst major retailers for bulk alkaline waters.
-
New bulk size option well received by existing consumers of alkaline water.
