Thank you, Mr. Anderson.
Our process involves essentially what's happening in everybody's stomachs in this room now: digestion. We combine that with patent-pending algae technology to take care of—like your own digestion, there are byproducts—the byproducts we have, which can be further enhanced with algae, one of the most ancient organisms on the planet. We're harnessing natural, highly-evolved processes and bacteria to create energy from waste. It ends up being combined with some other technologies to produce a liquid biofuel that's zero, or negative, in its carbon impacts. Believe it or not, this is counterintuitive, which is the nature of research and renewables. We're producing essentially the carbon capture and sequestration answer via liquid biofuels.
As you're taking advantage of what's out there in the natural world, you end up leaving the planet a better place. Dr. Steven Chu, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, is rumoured to be stamping from foot to foot wanting to do the sod-turning on that big plant that I described in Kansas. Our owners are staunch Republicans, so they weren't going to have any of that kind of ceremony, but it does speak to the immense interest that we are now raising at utility-class scales.
We're not talking about doing little stuff. We're doing things on a global basis that are getting attention at the highest levels. Your support through Western Economic Diversification for a not-for-profit that we started to help our brother and sister companies in waste and in algae technology under BECii.ca will further enhance the processes that you're asking about as we bring little companies together and integrate their offerings.
