Company VIASPACE Green Energy Inc.

VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. grows Giant King Grass, a renewable, non-food, low carbon, and high-yielding perennial crop, and uses it for producing clean energy and other green products. Giant King Grass is also a feedstock for producing liquid biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol, to replace gasoline for transportation vehicles, and a feedstock for anaerobic bio-digesters to produce bio-methane or natural gas. Giant King Grass also replaces petroleum in the manufacturing of biochemicals, biomaterials, and bio-plastics. It has about 100 hectares under cultivation in Guangdong Province, China. This acreage serves as a nursery to provide seedlings to plant more than 10,000 acres of new crops per year to support large biomass projects, including manufacturing biomass pellets for replacing coal in electricity-generating power plants, producing biofuels and biogas, and producing other green-energy products.
