SkunK Update

Just checked Pacer, SEC - nothing new.  We headed to northern HQ about the first of April.  Now we head West till we get East.  Hope to see a baseball game.  Just letting you know since I will be off the net for a few and stuff normally happens when I do.

These guys should bail on green energy and focus on the other green business. AKA 420.

Consumers think ethanol is a scam that ruins engines.
Investors think it's a money losing sham. It isn't growing, electric cars taking over.

Companies big and small trying to unload biofuel assets but there's no buyers. Attis can't even get funded for $.25 a gallon.

Go where the growth is, investors will follow, stockholders rewarded.

GERS Licensee Flint Hills Producing 30% More Corn Oil...

Flint Hills Resources is the fifth largest ethanol producer in the United States. Its Biofuels and Ingredients business operates seven ethanol plants in three states with a combined annual capacity of 850 million gallons.

Distillers Corn Oil
Focused on producing the most value possible from each kernel, we process about 20 million gallons of distillers corn oil each year to help make biodiesel and ingredients for livestock feed.

High Protein System Allows Flint Hills To Extract 30% More Corn Oil

Quote:

“This makes MSC protein the second highest-value coproduct a plant can produce, with corn oil the main value driver on a per-pound basis,”

The technology also allows plants to produce more corn oil. “We typically see, in FQPT’s MSC system, about a 30 percent or greater increase in oil yield,” Jakel says. “That becomes another revenue stream.” The system also improves fermentation and distillation. All those factors combine to reduce the cost of production, he says.
Flint Hills Resources has used the MSC technology at its Fairmont, Nebraska, plant for about six months, and sells the protein product as NexPro. Mark Murphy, general manager of ingredients at Flint Hills Resources, says the plant is producing additional corn oil and has maintained DDG quality.

“We’re happy with the results,” Murphy says. “We’re able to make another valuable protein product for the market without affecting ethanol production.” Flint Hills plans to add the technology to its Shell Rock, Iowa, plant.

GreenShifting The Industry Into High Value Co-product Biorefineries...

GERS Licensee GPRE To Produce 30% More Corn Oil...

GPRE is installing the same high protein system as Flint Hills. This will boost oil extraction by 30%. The plan is to add a portfolio of new technology to all of their plants.

Remember when GERS talked about "GreenShifting" the industry awhile back? Kevin recently mentioned this in the letter he posted. Sounds like GPRE is on the same page, ie transforming into more of a biorefinery.

Interesting comments by GPRE's CEO starting at the 8:35 mark. To summarize, GPRE is positioning itself for the coming transformation around coproducts.


Quote:

"We have these refineries that we think are going to be turned into much more of a biorefinery, kind of like we talked about 10-11 years ago."
"Ultimately, these are going to be producing much more than ethanol. We're finally starting to see that because of the advancements of technology"
"High value protein is really just the beginning of the transformation."
"New technologies are available and there's more coming."
"Ethanol could end up being the byproduct."
"We're adding a portfolio of technologies across our platform."

GreenShifting The Industry Into Biorefineries...
GPRE's comments sound a lot like Mr. Kreisler's comments on GreenShift's mission of transforming the industry into high value co-product producing biorefineries.

Quote:

Some of you might recall the vision we outlined for GreenShift’s integrated biorefinery plans before the crash. We outlined a series of iterative technology upgrades designed to collectively shift the efficiency and profitability of corn ethanol dramatically forward by extracting and refining co-products into an array of value-added renewable alternatives ... We spoke of greenshifting the industry.

That vision is alive and well today, more so than ever. Attis’ plans are complimentary to everything we’ve ever done. They have been amassing a broad portfolio of biorefining technologies, and they’re working on some extremely exciting things, some of which build on and add to our technologies.

Kansas Takes a Step Toward Hemp Production...
April 17, 2019 AT 7:20 AM

Quote:

By Associated Press
Kansas will be taking steps toward allowing farmers to grow hemp for industrial use under a measure Gov. Laura Kelly signed into law Monday.
The new law taking effect later this month replaces a state program only for researching hemp and its potential uses with a program for commercial production. Lawmakers authorized the research program last year after federal farm legislation allowed commercial hemp production.
The new law requires the Kansas Department of Agriculture to submit a plan to the federal government for regulating commercial hemp production. The department is required to confer with the governor’s and attorney general’s offices before submitting the plan.

Bill To Legalize Industrial Hemp In Nebraska Advances...

https://www.1011now.com/content/news/Bill-to-legalize-industrial-hemp-production-in-NE-passes-first-debate-508671671.html


Quote:

This bill aims to legalize the growth and production of industrial hemp and its by-products. Hemp, a part of the cannabis species, is usually grown for its by-products like CBD oil, fiber or even wood. Senator Justin Wayne, who introduced the bill, said Nebraska could be missing out on millions of dollars in revenue. Sen. Wayne said, he thinks the supply will create the demand for processing plants in Nebraska.

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is also supporting this bill. They said farmers have been wanting to grow hemp for a while now.

"It's about production for me," said Sen. Wayne. "Three investors and companies are looking at this area and looking at the quality of hemp that could be grown here. And it's not just Omaha. It's Imperial and Gering, Nebraska."

Georgia Bill To Legalize Hemp, CBD Demand Soaring!

https://flagpole.com/news/news-features/2019/04/17/georgia-is-high-on-hemp-and-uga-is-ready-to-help

Quote:

With the rocketing popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) oil derived from hemp, the state legislature has sent House Bill 213, the Georgia Hemp Farming Act, to Gov. Brian Kemp. HB 213 would once again will allow hemp’s cultivation in Georgia. If he signs it, the University of Georgia is poised to be at the forefront of research into best practices for growing the newly legal crop.

Demand for CBD oil, derived from a non-psychoactive compound in hemp, is soaring, thanks to its widespread acceptance as a treatment for many conditions and illnesses.

Has not and will not mean anything to the share price of GERS... Nuff said...

I hope GERS shorted their ATIS stock. Coseman has lost credibility. What a disappointment.

I have said all along, watch this Attis hype!

The jest of their [problem is likened to cancer... They found cancer in the body and it is very difficult to treat. What cancer, here it is:

"The delay in the Company’s filings is a result of efforts to continue to assess the accounting related to certain historical transactions that took place in 2017 and the first half of 2018 and the Company believes it is important that the aforementioned transactions are presented accurately to our shareholders. The Company has benefited from these transactions through the acquisition of valuable intellectual property and licenses related to ethanol coproduct technology and absorbing an engineering team with extensive process and civil engineering experience in the green technology market; however, the process of quantifying certain fair values within these transactions has proven extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming."

The toxicity surrounding Kevin and his shell game won't pass the muster to a trained eye.

Hemp Is The Solution For Our Plastic Pollution Crisis...

https://www.greenentrepreneur.com/article/332685

Bioplastics made from hemp are a viable alternative to petroleum-based plastics that have become the scourge of the ocean.

Plastic is a significant source of pollution.
It's with harmful additives, made from oil and takes hundreds of years (or longer) to degrade. A patch of plastic and sludge the size of Texas is floating in the Pacific Ocean right now, killing ocean life in untold numbers. By 2050, the United Nations estimates there will be more plastic, by weight, than fish in the ocean.
Our planet is choking on plastic and people are desperately looking for an alternative that won’t pollute the Earth. Hemp just might be the solution to our plastic problem.

Hemp plastic is biodegradable.
One of the biggest selling points for hemp plastic is that it is biodegradable. While your run-of-the-mill plastic bag will take several centuries to degrade, it only takes hemp plastic three to six months to degrade. Naturally, this means that hemp plastic may not always be a perfect fit for every plastic application. But when it comes to single-use products, like plastic straws, hemp would make an ideal replacement.
Making hemp plastic is better for the environment.

Another benefit of using hemp plastic over regular plastic is that its manufacturing process does far less damage to our environment. According to Forbes, most plastics today are made with fossil fuels extracted through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking is a process where deep rock formations containing petroleum and natural gases are fractured with high-pressure liquids.

Hemp is a great raw material for plastic.
Aside from the fact that hemp plastic is better for the environment, hemp is simply an excellent source of plastic. One of the critical components of plastic is a material called cellulose. When looking for an ideal source for plastic, you generally want to use a material that has high concentrations of cellulose. In addition to hemp, two of the leading sources of cellulose are cotton and wood.

On average wood contains approximately 40 percent cellulose and cotton has cellulose concentrations of around 90 percent. Hemp contains roughly 65 percent to 75 percent cellulose. Although hemp has lower concentrations of cellulose, cotton requires 50 percent more water to cultivate and four times as much water to process. While cotton might make a “better” source for plastic than hemp, when you take into consideration the environmental impact, hemp wins out.

Combating pollution and climate change is never easy. Over the last several decades, humans have become set in their ways and often don’t want to give up many of the amazing inventions that have been discovered, like plastic. But luckily, thanks to hemp plastics, they may not have to.

Good Luck To All!$!$
