We have invested a lot in engineering integrated "wet columns" for both H2S treatment (bio trapping) and "water lines" for CO2 scrubbing (greenhouses and algal cultivation) in ordre to generate additionnal revenues which will compensate the low financial costs and few running costs of these treatment equipments. A pilot plant is under-way and we shall thereby verify (or not) that the positive perspectives of our economic model are more than virtual.<br>Let me just say that considering the dramatic increase in demands of biopesticids and specific fast growing energetic or feedstock biomass there is a ground to develop such technologies. Some practical answers in the forthcoming months, regarding biogas treatment thus opening more ways to biomethane uses and transportation.<br>Cheers<br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p><pre>Jean-Luc Sallustro, Managing Partner<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>e.venture Group<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Bénarès, Rivière des Anguilles<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Ile Maurice<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Tel (230) 54 44 40 00<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>LD (230) 54 44 40 01 Mob (230) 57 29 16 26 Fax (230) 626 23 54<o:p></o:p></pre><p class=MsoNormal>Le 10/06/2014 10:06, Alexander Eaton a écrit :<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p>I agree with Kyle.
