Government Subsides

• Government pays between 20c-50c for every Kilowatt for renewable energy
• 250 kWh x 24 hrs x 365= 2,190,000 kWh
• Gov. paying average 35 cents = $766,500
• Government pays $20 tonne for Carbon reduction
• 46,500 divided by 9.54 litres, which requires 4 kg of carbon
• Saving from the atmosphere 19.5 tonnes= $390
• Total $767.000
• ROI on prototype with Gov. sub is 3.8 %;
• 0.766 x 100 divided by 20 M= 3.8 %
• Gross turnover is 766,500 + 65,250= 831,750
• 0.832 x 100 divided by 20 M= 4.2 subsides

Solar Photovoltaic operation equates to, 10 MW/ hour in a 11 hour day, with a landscape plateau footprint as shown below;

{{M2 footprint} = {90 Watt/hr}
{8.2MW/ hours in 11 hours}
{90 Watts/hr per M2} = {9.11 hectares or 0.09kM2}
{9.11 hectares or 0.09M2} x 2 for spacing
= {18.22 hectares or 0.18kM2} {45 acres}

Solar Photovoltaic power plant will produce the equivalent 1,509Tonne or 1.9 Million Litres per annum SOLANOL with 3,842Tonne per annum Enviro-oxygen facilities, equates to;

Cost of construction per Watt = {US$3.0 per Watt/ hour}.

8.2-10 MW / hour in an 11 hour day, x US$3.0 per Watt = {US$24.6Million}.

Solar Photovoltaic power and Hydroxy Electrolysis System carbon neutral Refinery will produce the equivalent SOLANOL of 1,509Tonne or 1.9 Million Litres per annum or 5,206 Litres per day with 3,842 Tonne per annum Enviro-oxygen or 10.5 Tonne per day;

Construction Costs

Solar Photovoltaic Electric plant construction costs = {US$24.6 Million}
Hydroxy Electrolysis System construction costs = {US$3.8 Million}
Hydroxy gas separation = {US$1 Million}
SOLANOL carbon neutral Refinery = {US$1 Million}
Storage and pipeline = {US$1 Million}

Transport Trucks Freight SOLANOL & cost Enviro-oxygen
= {US$1 Million}
Solar Photovoltaic land {0.18kM2} = {US$2 Million}.

Total construction cost ={US$34.4 Million}

Solanol wholesale profits after 2.5 years

{SOLANOL 1.9 Million Litre per annum/0.502 Million Gallons}
x {US$1.2 per Litre/ US$4.54 per Gallon, estimated gate cost in 2.5 years} ={US$2.28 Million per annum}.

{Enviro-oxygen 3,842 Tonne/ 4,235 Ton per annum} x
{US$250Tonne, estimated in 2.5 years}
= {US0.96 Million per annum}.

SOLANOL Carbon credits concessions
= {US$0.03Million per annum}.

Total SOLANOL + Enviro-oxygen profit + Carbon credits
= {US$3.27Million per annum}.

Estimated Ethanol excise Tax rate per Litre from 2008 to 2015;
{1.9 Million Litres per annum x US$0.114 per litre}
=   — {US$0.2 Million per annum}.

Maintenance costs = — {US$0.3 Million per annum}.
Labor running costs etc = — {US$0.5 Million per annum}.

Total overheads = — {US$1 Million per annum}.
{US$3.27 Million per annum} — {US$1 Million per annum} —
= {US$2.27 Million per annum}.

Therefore the yield per annum after running costs equates to {US$2.27illion}, which represents
{100 x US$2.27 Million} {US$34.4 Million} = {7-9% ROI}.

5000 MW Electric Power

Producing SOLANOL with Enviro-oxygen.

Synthetic Renewable SOLANOL Fuels market potential

The projected consumption rate by 2010 of crude oil is estimated to peak at 110 million barrels per day, this equates to 21 Billion Litres/ 5.5 Billion Gallons of liquid fossil hydrocarbons per day.

The average size Synthetic Renewable SOLANOL carbon neutral Refinery will produce 3.2 Million Litres / 0.84 Million Gallons per day of SOLANOL, which makes use of Renewable Electricity + water + carbon dioxide (CO2 extracted from the atmosphere), generating ROI of 10%, which is calculated to be US$1.89 Billion per annum profit.

The estimated global SOLANOL Refinerys necessary to produce 21 Billion Litres per day of SOLANOL, is calculated at 6,600 Plants, producing global profits of approximately $12.5 Trillion per annum.

The necessary footprint (area) to extract necessary energy from the sun, to manufacture 21 SOLANOL Billion Litre per day, is 860km x 860km
= 740,000 km2 or 286,000 Miles2 globally, which is insignificant considering the amount of available global desert regions.

The SOLANOL program is a world’s first and is the solution to the growing energy and environmental needs of the planet. The above global profits justify a new era in global energy economics
