Hey guys.  A new piece of news recently released from Raven kind of outlying their plans for the first quarter of the year.  It actually came out a few days ago but I got a little busy and didn't have a chance to forward this on to you guys.  There's also a phone number at the bottom in case you wanted to call in and speak to someone live about questions you may have about RVBF.  Trade with caution, since we already caught a nice run on Raven.  Nevertheless, there's definitely a possibility the run could continue and you'd be a little foolish to not at least have RVBF on your radar right now.

 

 

Here it is:

 

Raven Biofuels International Announces Corporate Outlook and Milestones for Q1-2010

2010-01-06 07:00 ET - News Release

ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/06/10

Raven Biofuels International Corporation (PINKSHEETS: RVBF) ("Raven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the company's objectives for Q1-2010.

Raven has two key projects in development today. Both projects are commercial scale (11 MGY output) designed to be scalable for future expansion. The first proposed project is in conjunction with Raven Biofuels Ltd (RBL) in BC, Canada. The proposed biorefinery location is in Kamloops, BC through a Joint Venture (JV) with the Kamloops Indian Band (KIB) called the Tk'emlups Biorefinery Project.

Goals for this project in Q1 are:

--  Complete preliminary engineering study

--  Conclude feedstock study

--  Hire key personnel

--  Finalize site agreements

--  Initiate permitting

--  Initial feedstock testing

--  Initial feedstock supply agreements

--  Sign initial off-take agreements for biorefinery products

--  Secure additional public and private funding sources

   

The second proposed project is in Mississippi. Goals for the project in Q1 are:

--  Conduct feedstock study

--  Initial feedstock testing

--  Initial feedstock supply agreements

--  Finalise site agreement

--  Identify additional public and private funding sources

   Management believes that there are efficiencies in pursuing both projects simultaneously via shared information that can significantly reduce engineering and testing costs. Further benefits may be realized on purchasing of key components.

2010 is poised to be a defining year for the biofuels industry where ethanol is estimated to grow to 8.9% of the motor fuel supply. It is anticipated that the EPA will move the "blend wall" and grant a partial E15 waiver for 2001 cars and newer by mid-year that could affect over 50,000,000 vehicles. The EPA has stated, "Our engineering assessment to date indicates that the fuel, engine, and emission control systems on newer vehicles (2001 and newer model years) will likely be able to accommodate higher ethanol blends such as E15.." It will be difficult for the EPA to gracefully backpedal from a statement like that. It is further expected that later in 2010 the EPA will issue an "all automobile" waiver. Many believe that these are key turning points for investment to flow into the industry again. Companies that have managed their way through the last few years and have improved their business models and technology will be positioned to receive this next wave of capital.

With automobiles becoming more fuel efficient and renewable fuels being developed, America is solidly on a path to energy independence. For the first time in history, America is lessening its dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil. Energy independence is a matter of National Security and now is officially a matter of public health and welfare. "GHGs are the primary driver of climate change, which can lead to hotter, longer heat waves that threaten the health of the sick, poor or elderly; increases in ground-level ozone pollution linked to asthma and other respiratory illnesses; as well as other threats to the health and welfare of Americans," according to the EPA press statement.
