About Raven Biofuels International Corporation

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”.



Their 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 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.

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.



Cellulosic Ethanol

While many companies have attempted to produce ethanol from cellulosic (non-corn) waste feedstocks during the past 10 years, Raven has a proven technology that can successfully produce fuel-grade ethanol in commercial quantities. The process is known as “two-stage dilute acid hydrolysis.” Raven’s proprietary process works by breaking down biomass (agricultural waste products such as wood chips, corn stover and sugarcane bagasse) into three primary streams that are then converted into a suite of derivative chemicals, ethanol, and energy producing lignin. The chart below illustrates this process:

Major Benefits of Cellulosic Ethanol

• Air Pollution Reduction- there is a significant decrease in the amount of CO2 that is release when cellulosic ethanol is produced

• Green House Gas Reduction- total decrease in the amount of total green house gas emissions

• Increased Conversion Potential- fewer steps used to break down waste means more cellulosic ethanol energy return

• Produced from Agricultural Waste- cellulosic ethanol is produced from waste and therefore does not negatively impact our natural food resources.

Life-cycle analysis at Argonne National Laboratory shows CO2 emissions from cellulosic ethanol to be 85% lower than those from gasoline. See the brochure Ethanol: The Complete Energy Lifecycle Picture (PDF)
