Products & Services
Biorefinery Construction
In 2006, Green Star started plans to construct biorefineries that produce ethanol from low cost agricultural waste products (wood chips, switch-grass, rice stalks, municipal waste, etc.) from biomass based on our proprietary process patents and production of biodiesel integrating our commercially proven proprietary continuous flow waterless biodiesel process in conjunction with local farmers to supply long-term feedstock - a very sustainable biofuels production model.
Green Star plans include large production of biofuels, a joint venture with Pure Energy Corporation, and a commitment to build several plants.
Progress on the debate about biofuels is tipping towards supporting the next generation of biofuel industries: algae production, cellulosic ethanol, waste biomass utilization and fully-integrated biorefineries.
Recently, Green Star and its Consortium partners have applied for multiple government assistance in alternative energy programs. The industry has long waited for the U.S. Government to pass a meaningful energy programs. Selection criteria for the clean energy projects will focus on the avoidance of green house gas emissions and other air pollutants; the speed at which technologies can be commercialized; the cost-saving potential for consumers; the prospect of loan repayment; and the potential for long-lasting success of these technologies in the marketplace.
GSPI's consortium programs include cellulosic ethanol, algae to biofuels, advanced biodiesel processes engineering and other waste to energy and greenhouse gas reduction technologies.
Biodiesel Technology
In 2006, after announcing that Green Star would be building its own biodiesel plants the company unveiled its proprietary continuous flow biodiesel reactors, which were actually a third generation technology since the company started to build concept reactors in 2001. These biodiesel reactors -- the first ones of their kind in the world -- demonstrate how large quantities of biodiesel can be produced in smaller plants by renouncing traditional batch processes. This holds especially true since biodiesel conversion is reduced to just a few minutes with high quality fuel results.
Almost one year after the novel reactor design unveiling, Green Star showcases its improved design concepts for the reactor including new proprietary flow control mechanisms and other back and front-end biodiesel plant improvements.
Green Star's associated companies like American Biofuels, LLC, have successfully demonstrated the commercial production of biodiesel using GSPI reactors.
Now, Green Star is striving to achieve more sustainable business models by integrating the newest high-tech biodiesel plant technology with an oilseed crusher plant and farm cooperative feedstock contracts for a biodiesel facility in Odessa, Washington. The biodiesel portion of the plant was completed in April 2008.
Algae Technology
As a bonus in Green Star's research to commercialize biofuels from algae the company discovered a breakthrough formula to increase the algae growth rates of certain strains of microalgae called Montana Micronutrient Booster (MMB).
Green Star has been making this MMB formula available to researchers on the world's five continents. Samples are being sent to research facilities that agree to share their growth research data concerning the growth booster. This data will be available via Green Star’s website.
Green Star also has announced the Agri-2000 and Agri-3000 growth boosters for terrestrial plants.
In January and May 2008, the company publicly stated two important algae research and development technologies: the wet algae stripping technology (important for both cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel production) and the algae production HAPS demonstration report. The 9-month long HAPS algae system report demonstrates the feasibility of the HAPS system for commercially farming of microalgae.
After releasing in late 2007 the research facility video, Green Star is ready to improve and expand its algae research facilities. Lab operations have been slowing down to prepare to transfer installations, equipment, personnel and algae cultures to their new facility in Utah. Green Star welcomes the opportunity to work in Utah to achieve full algae commercialization projects.
Algae Farm Construction
Green Star is currently working to set into motion some of the first high-production algae production facilities in the United States. Reliant on pending 2007 contracts, the company has advanced many plans and preparations for construction of algae production systems. The company is also enthusiastic about the development of algae feed as a food supplement for livestock.
Energy Saving & Wear Protection Lubricant Additives
In late 2005, Green Star started a joint venture with NRG Resources, Inc. Green Star and NRG manufacture TVT 24-7 Lubricant Products, while NRG has the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for the TVT line of products. Green Star receives 25% net profits on sales and owns 1,375,000 shares of NRG stock (approximately 2% of NRG stock).
TVT 24-7 GSPI recently completed an order for fifteen 40-foot ocean shipping container loads (equivalent to over 1,000 barrels) of its advanced lubricant products to Asia. The order was coordinated with NRG Resources, Inc.
Other Environmentally Friendly Technologies
Green Star has almost two decades of Research and Development in alternative energy sources and energy saving technologies that have become even more critical to commercialize due to current world and domestic turn of events.
