Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB)

Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:18 pm

Stratos Renewables Corp. is a low cost sugarcane ethanol producer focused on becoming a leader in Latin America’s emerging sugarcane ethanol industry. The sugarcane ethanol market is a growing segment of the renewable fuel industry and the Company is uniquely positioned to grow at a rapid pace.

The Company is currently expanding its production capacity of ethanol to 4MMgy and its sugar capacity to 1,000 tcd. Stratos’ multi-phase growth strategy has been strategically developed and aims to reach an ethanol production capacity of 154 MMgy, which is to be completely supplied by the Company’s own sugarcane plantations.

The process of producing ethanol from sugar is more simple and efficient than converting corn into ethanol. While sugar only requires yeast fermentation and removal of water, corn requires additional cooking and the application of enzymes. The ethanol produced from sugar has a high purity of 95%, matching the purity of ethanol produced from corn.

Stratos Renewables was founded by a group of leading biofuels and agricultural executives. The Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Antonio Salas, has served as a senior executive in both the agribusiness and agricultural development fields and was instrumental in directing technical, commercial, and financial evaluations of more than 100 medium to large size companies.

The Peruvian Government is a Strategic Location for the Future Growth of Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB)

Stratos Renewables is a low cost sugarcane ethanol producer that believes it will be able to produce the highest yields of sugarcane in the world on the northern coast of Peru. The large production will give it the advantage of being among the lowest cost producers on a global basis.

Peru ranks with the world’s largest producers of silver, copper, zinc, tin, gold and lead. In the recent years the Peruvian government has encouraged agriculture and tourism through legislative action. Peru’s economy is well managed as revenues are increasing while expenditures keep pace.

The country’s economy is one of the most explosive in Latin America, particularly in the last five years. Gross domestic product (GDP) has been growing steadily and gaining momentum. GDP grew by 5.2% in 2002, by 3.9% in 2003, by 5.2% in 2004, by 6.4% in 2005 and by 8% in 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the stock of foreign direct investment totaled around $15.4 billion. Canadian rating agency DBRS recently assigned an investment grade rating to Peru’s foreign debt and it is expected that U.S. rating agencies will follow in next year.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - How Ethanol is Produced

Technologically, the process of producing ethanol from sugar is simpler than converting corn into ethanol and uses about half the energy. While converting corn into ethanol requires additional cooking and the application of enzymes, sugar requires only a yeast fermentation process and the removal of water.

The process begins with cultivating and harvesting sugarcane at a cane field. Further processing is done at the sugar mill where the cane stalks are shredded and then crushed to extract the cane juice. The byproducts of this process are cane molasses, used in the production of alcoholic beverages, fuel alcohol and for direct human consumption and bagasse, which can be used to produce steam and generate electricity within the plant; excess electricity can be sold to utility grids.

The sugarcane juice is then transformed into alcohol at a distillery plant, usually adjoined to the mill, through a 4 to 12 hour fermentation process using yeasts and generates a significant amount of CO2 and heat. Much of the CO2 that is generated during the fermentation process can be captured and converted into marketable products, such as dry ice, liquid CO2 for soft drinks, fire-fighting foams, filtration products and various industrial uses.

After fermentation, the ethanol is distilled from other byproducts, resulting in an approximate 95% pure liquid called hydrous ethanol. Hydrous ethanol can be commercially used, but cannot be blended with gasoline because it contains 5% water. An additional reactant, such as cyclohexane, is then used to dehydrate the ethanol, by forming a tertiary azeotropic mixture with water and alcohol. Anhydrous ethanol is nearly 100% pure and can be blended with gasoline.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Sugar-based Ethanol Sounds Like a Sweet Deal

Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that is produced from renewable resources – in the case of Stratos Renewables, from sugarcane that can be grown and harvested in Peru year-round. Sugarcane, containing the highest starch content of any plant stock, enables nearly three times the ethanol yields when compared to U.S. corn, helping to drive down costs and balance supply and demand. Sugar-based ethanol produces 80 percent less net greenhouse gases than gasoline, and boasts an estimated higher “energy balance” of just over 8:1. Also, because sugarcane is a renewable resource, ethanol fuel produced from it satisfies short-term needs and long-term requirements as well.

Brazil is the world’s leader in ethanol consumption using nearly two-thirds of the production. Although some oil is still in use, Brazil has achieved two major goals of a comprehensive biofuels program commencing in the mid 1970’s in response to rising gasoline prices and the energy crisis.

In 2005, ethanol accounted for 41 percent of all non-diesel motor vehicle fuel sold, and so-called “flex fuel” vehicles (automobiles that run on gasoline, ethanol, or any blend of the two) reached a 70-percent share of the non-diesel vehicle market. Using ethanol has provided citizens with a cheaper alternative fuel to gasoline on a per-unit basis and reduces CO2 emissions to 20 percent of what it had previously been. This is especially promising since many countries regularly cite reducing harmful emissions as one of their greatest environmental challenges.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Going Green Using Sugar to Produce Ethanol

With the recent surge in demand to go green, much emphasis has been put on Ethanol production. Simply because it is Clean, Safe, and Renewable. Ethanol can be produce from a number of different plant materials. Sugar and Corn are the two main crops used in production. Corn however requires a great deal more energy to convert to ethanol making Sugar the more efficient choice. In fact Sugar is twice as efficient as Corn and only requires yeast and the removal of the water along with additives to purify the finished fuel.

Ethanol production with Sugarcane begins with the farming and reaping of the Sugarcane fields. The cane is then processed extracting the cane juice leaving usable byproducts such as sugar molasses and bagasse. Sugar Molasses is used to produce alcoholic beverages, and Fuel Alcohol. Steam energy can be produced from the Bagasse and sold to electric companies. This leaves nothing wasted in the Ethanol production process.

To turn the Sugar Juice into Ethanol, yeast is used as a Catalyst to begin the fermentation process. This process can take up to 12 hours and generate a large amount of heat and CO2 all of which can be used for energy production and other sellable products. Cooling is then applied to finish the process. It is then distilled using byproducts to a purity of 95%. The ethanol can then be purified to 100% making it safe for Gasoline mixing with cyclohexane. The only downside of Sugar is that it must be produce on site due to high transport costs but most fields have a production plant onsite.

Since Gasoline has hit highs of $100 a barrel and higher, the demand for alternative fuels has risen greatly. Many gas stations are already mixing ethanol with gas, and as gas continues to rise, Ethanol continues to become more viable as an alternative energy source. Using Sugar in the production continues to be one of the best ways to produce Ethanol Fuel.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Cane is Able

Some 30 odd years ago Brazil made a bold decision. They decided that the best route they could take towards energy independence and a move away from importing oil was to use their vast acreages of sugar beets and sugar canes to distill fuel. As international oil prices continue to soar, that bet has put Brazil’s decades old gamble at the forefront of a “biofuels” movement in which many countries view sugar cane, corn, soybeans, beets, cornstalks and native grasses as cleaner, money-saving substitutes for oil. This is especially true of oil produced in politically unstable countries where just the mention of using oil as an economic weapon can make the price jump by ten dollars a barrel or more.

Ethanol is higher in power-producing octane than most gasoline and can reduce tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide and harmful particulates. Although Ethanol can be made from a wide variety of plant products, by its very nature of being an alcohol, it tends to get the purest, most efficient results from refining of Sugar from Sugar Cane, and South America happens to enjoy a tremendous crop of the fast growing plant.

In Brazil, all gasoline has to have a minimum of 26% Ethanol, but consumers using a “flex fuel” vehicle that is designed to burn the higher percentage Ethanol blends can run on pure Ethanol, known as E100, or the slightly diluted version called E85 which is indeed 85% pure. Along with more power and much cleaner exhaust, there is another benefit. The purer the blend, the cheaper the price. So, Brazil has now become a leading exporter of the fuel to other countries, such as the US, the European nations, China, and a host of others.

In the US, the Government has made it clear that they’d like to cut down on both global warming, tailpipe particulates and of course the importation of so much oil. With hostile Governments in the Mid East willing to use oil as a weapon, the call went out for a true substitute and Ethanol got the nod. However, in the US, most of the Ethanol produced so far has come from Corn, not Sugar and that’s a problem in several areas. First off it takes much more refining and much more energy to produce Ethanol from a given amount of Corn, versus a similar amount of Sugar cane. Secondly, it simply takes a tremendous amount more Corn to produce a gallon of Ethanol, than would be produced by Sugar. To offset this discrepancy, US producers of Ethanol have been granted a tax subsidy of over 51 cents per gallon, and still tariffs were imposed on Imports to help keep domestic producers profitable.

Most people view the US as a world leader, but when it comes to Ethanol, South America has a huge head start. By most estimates, South American Sugar Cane Ethanol of extremely high purity can be produced for approximately half of what the US refiners can turn out with Corn based distilling. Not only is the cane more rich in energy, the refineries themselves are almost self sufficient. The part of the outer hull of the sugar cane that isn’t processed is burned to create steam, which they run their electrical generators on. All in all, it’s a very efficient use of the land, the crop, and the fuel itself.

With oil now fetching upwards of 100 dollars a barrel, a fuel that can replace some of the demand for oil is a very important economic matter. Entire economies are known to slow, even to the point of recession during an “oil shock” where the price rises substantially, or quickly. South American Sugar Cane Ethanol has now proven itself to be a worthy replacement. The fact is that compared to Corn, even the production of the plant itself is less expensive. This is because sugar cane requires fewer chemicals than any crop except raw pasture to cultivate. Corn on the other hand requires costly fertilizers, to produce hearty harvests.

Alternative fuels are here to stay, and Sugar Cane based Ethanol is one of the best choices we’ll have. Existing cars can be adapted to run even the higher blends, at a very modest price, just by adding a fuel sensor, and corrosion resistant hoses. GM, Ford, Volkswagen and several European manufacturers are more than willing to produce flex type vehicles that will bring showroom new vehicles right to an Ethanol pump. The verdict is in, and Sugar Cane is willing and able to do the job.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Peru Sweetens on Sugar Cane

For years Brazil was stealing the headlines concerning Ethanol production, but all the while a quite buzz was developing in the background concerning Peru. Now, it’s Peru that may very well emerge as not only the preeminent producer of Quality Ethanol, but the most profitable also. This quiet development now has investors all around the globe watching this situation closely.

Ethanol is an alcohol based fuel known for containing more octane than most gasolines, while burning cleaner and producing much less tailpipe emissions and green house gasses. It’s generally created by the refining and distilling of a sugar from one of several plant sources such as Corn, Saw grass, beets, etc. But its sugar cane that produces the highest yield of high quality Ethanol.

Speaking at the Latin American Investment Summit, Guillermo Ferreyros said, “Economically, Peru is going to obtain a much more profitable ethanol than Brazil,” then he added “Ethanol in Peru will become its flagship product.” As you can imagine this got a lot of eyebrows raised, but it shouldn’t have come as any true surprise. Having watched Brazil prove that Ethanol could be produced and consumed economically, investors and industrialists soon concluded that Peru has several advantages over Brazil in the logistics of producing vast quantities of the fuel.

First off there is the climate. Sugar cane needs long growing periods, with lots of sun and virtually no chance of a freeze. Not many people are aware that Peru has large portions of an almost desert like environment, which is virtually perfect for transforming into Sugar cane acreage. There are very few areas of the world where Cane harvesting can be carried out year round, and Peru is one of those few. The crop yield per acre of sugar cane planted is the highest of any nation, meaning that the return on the investment of planting is maximized. With no “down season” the crop can be rotated continually all year.

But growing conditions are simply one of many advantages Peru has over most other Ethanol producing Countries. Next up is the fact that the lion’s share of this prime growing region is in close proximity to the coastline, making economical transportation of the produced fuel an exercise in simplicity. Peru has several world class ports situated on the Pacific coast, each with a clear shot to the United States, Canada, Mexico, and across the sea to energy starved China and all of lower Asia. As China’s economy has boomed, their energy demands have almost doubled, and they are desperate for a fuel that will offer them good value, with the benefit of a much cleaner air quality. Shipping world class Ethanol to the most energy hungry nations puts Peru in the epicenter of world trade.

If the perfect climate, along with perfect growing conditions, coupled with the simplest of transportation logistics weren’t enough to sway you toward imagining Peru as a dominant force, then finally consider this; The rating agency DBRS has recently assigned investment-grade credit ratings to Peru’s long-term foreign and local currency debt. Their economic growth and expansion which is clearly illustrated by the exponential growth in foreign direct investment and GDP growth, places Peru firmly atop the Latin American Countries deemed “investment grade” now.

Peru has everything aligned to become the dominant player in the Ethanol and alternative fuel space, led by the processing of Sugar Cane for fuel. Intelligent investors with a finger on the pulse of this societal change to a greener fuel need to monitor this country closely. As they say; Peru is looking “sweet.”

Growing demand for Bio-Fuels puts Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) in Attractive Position

With gas hitting $100 a barrel and higher. Demand continues to soar for alternative energy sources. Since Bio-Fuels can already be mixed with gasoline or used solo, they are seeing the largest demand. Bio-Fuels are also readily available and renewable. In fact many countries require gas be a percentage of Ethanol already. The countries are also using subsidies to increase consumption such as tax benefits to consumers. Countries like Brazil are already using a large amount of Bio-Fuel and seeing great success with their Bio-Fuel programs.

There are many advantages to using Bio-Fuels in place of Gasoline. Unlike Gasoline, Bio-Fuels are renewable energy sources because they are produced with plant materials. Bio-Fuels are completely Biodegradable and non-toxic to the environment. Harmful emissions from Bio-Fuels are far less than that of Diesel. Hydrocarbon emission, the Ozone destroying gas, is 50% less with Bio-Diesel and Carbon Monoxide emissions is on average 48% less than that of Diesel. Research has shown that Bio-Diesel also contains far less particulate matter and nitrous oxides. Since Bio-Diesel has a much higher flash point than Diesel, it is actually classified as a non-flammable liquid by the occupational safety and health administration. One of the biggest advantages as an alternative energy source is the ability to run them in Diesel engines with little to no modification.

As Diesel engines continue to become more technologically advanced producing less emissions, less noise, less vibrations, and better fuel economy, it becomes more advantages to use Bio-Diesel. Because of the engine advances, past problems with Bio-Diesel is becoming a thing of the past. Bio-Fuels also perform just as good as regular diesel with the added benefit of longer engine life. This makes bio-diesel clean and affordable especially for trucks, buses, farm equipment, along with other forms of heavy transportation.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Ethanol Production in Peru has Potential to Grow Exponentially

Gov. Cesar Trellas of the Peruvian region, also known as Piura, stated in an interview that northwest Peru would someday produce 400 million gallons of ethanol a year. This is huge as it represents 7% of all the ethanol Americans purchased last year.

Part of President Bush’s plan to reduce dependence on imported oil is increasing the use of alternative fuels such as ethanol. Peru could be the perfect source of the alternative fuel ethanol as it continues to grow favorable conditions and trade preferences with the United States.

The President of Maple Cos. stated, “Peru is one of the best places in the world to grow sugar cane in terms of how many tons you can produce per acre per year.” This fits in perfectly with Stratos Renewables’ strategy as the Company is committed to becoming a leader in Latin America’s rapidly emerging sugarcane ethanol industry.

The demand for ethanol is expected to rise as oil prices remain relatively high and consumer attitudes continue to stay green. Of all of the U.S. auto fuel sales, Ethanol accounted for 3%. In Brazil, the most advanced country in the use of green fuels, 50% of auto fuel sales were Ethanol.

Peru’s growing conditions, its low labor costs, and duty-free status of ethanol - as terms of the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act – are anticipated to give Stratos exceptional advantages to ethanol companies located in other countries.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - Ethanol Demand Drives Energy Firms to Peru

Bio-Fuel Demand has grown rapidly up 30% in the US over the past year as Consumers demand cleaner fuels and independence from Middle East oil. Thanks to this booming demand for Ethanol, which can be produced from sugar, Peru is seeing large energy firms buying up unwanted land in the Peruvian Desert to farm, process, and export the finished Ethanol. In fact Peru seeks to be an Ethanol Hub for the US supplying 7% of current US Ethanol demand. Peru also has excellent trade terms with the US and is currently in the process of implementing a free trade agreement.

A number of factors are pushing up demand for Ethanol. With crude oil reaching $100 a barrel it is becoming cost efficient for consumers to seek alternative fuel sources. Gasoline is harmful to the environment and is seen as one of the leading causes of global warming. Because of this, green movements have pushed for cleaner burning fuels. Demand has also come from changing laws in the US as it begins to require refineries to substitute Ethanol in gasoline in place of harmful substitutes currently used.

Peru is seen as one of the best places to grow sugarcane in terms of tons produced per acre. This larger production possibility gives Peruvian sugarcane farms large cost advantages because of economies of scale. Because of these reasons, High Yields firms like Stratos Renewable Energy say they will be able to produce Ethanol at the lowest global prices. They are beginning to implement a multi-phase growth strategy to be Peru’s leading Ethanol producer producing 154 million gallons of Ethanol a year.

The free Trade agreement signed by the U.S. and Peru in 2005, eliminating tariffs and trade barriers to goods and services traded between the two nations, is expected to expand trade between the two countries and allow Peru’s economy to grow creating more jobs through trade. This agreement has also made US investment within Peru easier and safer due to implementation of a predictable legal framework.

Stratos Renewable Energy is taking advantage of these favorable conditions within Peru to become Latin America’s leader in sugarcane ethanol production. Peru’s economic growth and favorable trade conditions with the US make this a very attractive place to grow, process, and distribute Sugarcane Ethanol. Gov. Cesar Trelles of Northwestern Peru has predicted that Northwestern Peru will become an ethanol hub producing 400 million gallons of sugarcane Ethanol a year.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) - $2 Billion to be Invested in Peru’s Ethanol Production?

According to the President of the Peruvian Association of Sugar and Biofuel Producers, Mr. Pablo Bustamate, $2 billion dollars could be invested in the production of ethanol in Peru next year.

He stated, “The sugar industry will meet the country’s demand by next year and therefore, thanks to ethanol, it is expected to double, triple or increase five times the size of this powerful industry, especially in the northern provinces in terms of social impact.”

He also said that there is strong demand for the advantageous alternative energy in the international market. In an effort to encourage production, Mr. Bustamate has requested to include ethanol in the Agrarian Promotion Law which will give it the same advantages as sugar production.

Mr. Bustamate believes that the ethanol industry can help promote new agrarian exports totaling up to $1 billion per year. The monetary support of $2 billion would be extremely beneficial to companies such as Stratos Renewables.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) Proves Sugar is More than Sweet to the Taste

A trip to the gas pump gets a little more painful each time. With analysts projecting more than $4 per gallon by this summer, there is even more pressure to find the alternative fuel that not only spares the ozone, but eases the burden at the pump as well. Though crude prices continue to rise, it still seems that environmental concerns trump political and economical concerns. Stratos Renewables believes it has the solution for everyone, no matter what their concern.

The company’s answer is bioethanol, ethanol created from excess plant material, corn or sugar to be used as fuel. Stratos Renewables is banking on sugar-based ethanol for quite a few reasons. First off, sugar-based ethanol is cheaper to produce than corn based, and retails for cheaper than crude oil, which contributes to 57% of the cost of a gallon of gas.

It also burns cleaner than most alternative fuels, emitting 80% less net greenhouse gases than gasoline, though it produces more energy per equivalent unit; and according to the company, the production efficiency of sugar-based ethanol has nearly tripled since the 1970s – no more fear of shortage. Sugarcane is the primary source of Stratos Renewables’ ethanol fuel; its geographical origins protect production from seasonal restraints.

With gas prices more than $3 per gallon and rising, and those favoring green energy on the march, the time to produce a cleaner and cheaper fuel has already passed us by. Stratos Renewables is taking steps to produce a pocketbook friendly, cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) Breaks Down the Ethanol Process, Produces Green Fuel

Though the idea of a cleaner, cheaper fuel is enticing to just about everyone, the various processes, techniques and lingo can be daunting to most of us trying to figure out which really is the best. Stratos Renewables Corp. is focused on the production, processing and distribution of sugarcane-based ethanol in Peru.

Though sugarcane ethanol has many advantages over, say corn or biomass-based ethanol, the simplified process to produce sugar-based ethanol is a heavy weight. Put in layman’s terms, the process seems simple and a sure-shot to cheaper, cleaner fuel.

Sugarcane ethanol production requires about half the energy requirement than that of corn - a yeast fermentation process and the removal of water is all it takes to produce sugar-based ethanol. When converting corn, additional cooking and the application of enzymes are required.

First, the sugarcane is cultivated and harvested, then processed at a sugar mill. At the mill, cane stalks are shredded and crushed, resulting in sugarcane juice which can also be used in molasses (for alcoholic beverages and such relatives) and bagasses (generating steam to generate electricity in the plant).

From the mill the sugarcane juice is converted into alcohol through the aforementioned fermentation process. This takes between four and 12 hours, generating quite a bit of CO2 and heat. So from here, the fermented wine mixture is cooled, allowing for the capture of the CO2 which can be used for soft drinks, fire-fighting foams, filtration products and more.

After the fermentation process, ethanol is distilled from other byproducts. This 95% purity mixture is called “hydrous ethanol,” containing 5% water. Hydrous ethanol can have commercial uses but cannot be blended with gasoline unless it is dehydrated, forming anhydrous ethanol which is 100% pure.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) Advantageously Uses Sugar Cane to Produce Energy at More Competitive Prices than Gasoline or U.S. Corn Based Ethanol

According to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis, sugar-cane based ethanol is the single form of ethanol that is usually cheaper to produce than gasoline. The IMF anticipates that the global economy will increase 4.8% next year, even with the housing-sector problems and credit crunch in Europe and the United States.

In a report issued by IMF, costs and environmental benefits of various ways of producing ethanol and biodiesel were compared. Sugar-cane ethanol produced by Brazil was at least 15% cheaper to produce than gasoline. The sugarcane based ethanol is even more competitive than U.S. corn based ethanol as the corn based ethanol is 18% more expensive than gasoline. In addition, Sugar-cane ethanol also had a smaller quantity of greenhouse emissions than corn ethanol.

The senior IMF economist, Valerie Mercer-Blackman, noted that sugar-cane ethanol was able to be produced cheaper than corn ethanol for the reason that it requires fewer production steps. Stratos Renewables is in a very strategic position as it is focused on producing sugar-cane ethanol in Peru and has a solid, experienced leadership team working towards its further success.
