BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

In North America, about 1.2 million acres of Sugarbeets are currently grown for sugar production. These beets supply over 50% of the US total sugar supply. Growing regions of North America could be expanded to include almost every state in the U.S. Beets can be grown as a winter crop in most southern regions. The use of beets for purposes beyond sugar for human consumption, is virtually untapped.

Energy Beets are an excellent source of simply sugars for the production of ethanol and many advanced biofuel products. Beets will typically produce 2x the ethanol per acre compared with corn, according to project developers. Beets have the ability to become a major industrial crop for all types of industrial sugars. In addition, Energy Beets can also be used as high energy, high nutrition livestock feed.

Achieving the 2007 federal mandate (Energy Independence Security Act) to produce 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels each year by 2022, will depend largely on crops like Energy Beets. Being a simple sugar plant, it can easily be utilized to produce industrial sugars without the use of enzymes and the need to convert starches to sugars.

1st Generation feedstocks (corn and grains) for ethanol currently produce about 14 billion gallon of ethanol each year. To achieve the 36 billion gallon mandate we will need about 21 billion gallon produced from 2nd generation advanced biofuel feedstocks. Energy beets are an advanced biofuel feedstock, and may well qualify as a cellulosic feedstock.

We have recently conducted Energy Beet trials with good success. If you are interested in finding out more about our involvement with this crop, please contactSteve Libsack.
