CABN Outlines Strategy

CABN Outlines Strategy


http://www.marketwatch.com/story/carbon-sciences-discloses-plan-for-success-2011-07-11?reflink=MW_news_stmp


#1 thing I love from this PR is




"Working with major strategic partners who will undertake manufacturing and marketing. These partners will bear the majority of the costs associated with optimization, process design and final commercialization."


Reading Popular Science, which has an article on the end of easy oil: A few Notes


  • CABN believes themselves cost competitive w/ oil at 80/barrel (not in article, just FYI)
  • We have about 3 trillion barrels worth of shale in the US - w/ costs around $90/ barrel to produce
    • large environemental impact
  • Talks about turning coal into liquid fuels, but states process is too energy intensive and expensive - this is where CABN has made a breakthrough - their catalyst is very robust and lowers the energy required for conversion
  • U.S has vast reserves of heavy oil, shale and coal..... but the environmental impacts of reaching this kind of car juice are high
  • Non-easy oil (like shale) requires a lot of fresh water to extract (steam), a commodity which is becoming more and more precious
  • I would like to ask Byron what the EROEI on his process is - the ratio of energy in to out - easy oil can yield 20:1.... shale and deep oil can yield as low as 3:1
  • Article states natural gas as a more suitable replacement for the energy sector (over coal) as opposed to using it in transportation
  • One pound of radioactive thorium has as much energy as 3.5 million lbs of coal
  • Reading about a Fusion reactor prototype.... way too wordy to offer notes, but pic up a copy of the magazine and check it out..... soo cool
  • CABN's solution def seems more immediatly relevent than beaming solar energy from space or a fusion reactor planned for 2060.....

    Byron writes an article

    http://energy.aol.com/2011/06/29/making-gasoline-from-natural-gas-an-interim-solution-to-the-o/

    Byron wrote this about his company - nothing revealed, but good to hear what the company is about from the mouth of the man in charge.

    CABN announces successful testing!

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Carbon-Sciences-Announces-iw-4106002256.html?x=0&.v=1

    Hell yes! Testing finished up about 2 weeks before I anticipated. The story goes, after 600 hours of testing, the catalyst worked just as well at the end testing as it did at the beginning... consistently performing at laboratory levels, which were already approaching the theoretical limits of conversion efficiency.

    This company still only has a market cap of 15 million dollars.... they now have a proven technology for dry reforming methane into liquid fuels, "cost competitive with oil @ $80 a barrel"....

    I put in my buy order, limit .08 for tomorrow..... No one can really value this development - speculation could take this stock anywhere, but im confident the direction will be up. The stock is currently at .065, so with my limit of .08 I am very confident I will get shares in the inevitable spike tomorrow morning. 15 million market cap... still cant really get over it - whats the idea worth now? 20 million? 100 million? We have to wait for the market to decide tomorrow.... so excited.

    CABN Uplisting

    http://www.carbonsciences.com/01/view_news.php?id=90

    Old news, but important.... CABN is trying to move from the OTC to a formal exchange such as the NASDAQ.... quite ambitious for a 15 million dollar company without a proven product.... I like it!

    1:40 reverse split too! CABN has a lot going for them, which could pull them out of penny land. If their idea works....... this one is swinging for the fences. I might try and pick up some shares after the KBLB turbulence is over.

    Carbon Sciences

    Welcome to another YearoftheBull production. The depth and detail of my due diligence is unrivaled.


    Carbon Sciences is a really cool company pioneering a robust bio-catalyst and "smart lattice" for converting greenhouse gases (CO2 & Methane) into more complex liquid fuels. Jet fuel, gasoline, diesel, you name it, and their lab tests say its possible.

    I don't have much time to go into detail now, but I wanted my readers to start looking at this one.

    CABN tech cost competitive w/ oil @ 80/barrel
    Carbon Sciences is currently testing their tech in the real world and expect results by the end of June. I would seriously consider a buying opportunity between now and the end of the month. The stock hasn't ever gone much lower than its at now (doesnt mean it cant), but if they announce test results proving their tech to be scalable, this stock could go on a running riot.






    Some points to ponder:

    • Testing done by end of June, I just wrote CEO Byron Elton for more details/ updates
    • Market cap of 15 mil.... if this works, its a multi-billion dollar idea -easy.
    • CABN considers itself cost competitive with oil @ 80 a barrel... doubt oil will be headed below this level for quite some time.... if not ever again.
    • Their inputs could not only be free, but maybe they will get paid to take them. Using greenhouse gasses as the feedstock for their reaction, CABN may be able to collect and resell carbon credits.
    • Their proprietary catalyst has proven incredibly robust in lab conditions. This is incredibly unique and may hold huge value in itself. Most catalyst break down after a few reactions and are very costly to replace. CABN's catalyst can supposedly last and react for much, much longer.
    • CEO Byron Elton seems very savvy for today's modern business climate.... face-time on CNN, great website, social media, playing it very cool.... but is he also fit for his other responsibilities? Good management is #1 for penny stock survival.
