For industrialists, Recycled Energy Development (RED) can reduce energy costs, increase power reliability, and help obtain emission credits.

RED will acquire your industrial utility plant, monetizing your non-core assets, and then reduce energy costs by recycling waste energy and applying best practices to the production of energy services. More specifically, we purchase utility plants, enhance their performance, reduce energy costs, and gain emission credits. We then will return to you half of the savings we create. Such savings are tracked monthly relative to the costs of conventional energy services. RED’S contract structure puts the capital and operating risk on RED and thus removes all of your balance sheet liability for the capital in your energy island.

RED will recycle waste energy streams and produce useful electricity and thermal energy. If you require additional electricity and thermal energy, RED will construct a new on-site cogeneration plant sized for your site’s specific needs. This combined heat and power plant will ensure that your operating costs will always be cheaper than the energy you otherwise would have to purchase.

RED will obtain useful energy derived from:

• Exhaust heat from any industrial process or from electric generation;
• Industrial tail gas that would otherwise by flared, incinerated, or vented;
• Recoverable heat from the process that is discharged though cooling water systems;
• Pressure drop in any gas.

RED’s business strategy

RED’s goal is to profitably reduce the burning of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will purchase utility plants or energy islands from select North American industrial facilities for depreciated book value in exchange for long-term energy supply contracts and rights to the host’s waste energy streams. RED seeks these arrangements with host facilities that:

• Operate at or near 24/7;
• Have high energy use intensity;
• Have high energy spending;
• Have a relatively constant flow of useful waste energy; and/or
• Have a relatively constant need for thermal energy; and finally

Benefits RED provides to host facility

RED’s contract structure enables you to focus on your core businesses, to free up your cash, and to realize process efficiency gains through reductions in energy purchases. Since you have a large amount of capital tied up in your on-site energy facilities, RED can provide your business with the benefits of outsourcing without compromising the critical needs of these facilities for electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy. Specifically:

• You will monetize your non-core energy assets with no offsetting balance sheet liability, freeing your capital for core investments.
• You will pay less for energy service and reduce your vulnerability to energy price volatility.
• You will enjoy a reduced environmental footprint by eliminating waste energy.
• You will obtain added profits from RED’S efforts in selling excess recycled energy to your neighbors, selling emission credits, etc.
