Green Companies with Potential to turn to Gold

http://www.lemminginvestor.com

Elric Lloyd-Langton
1 January 2007
No matter if you're a technical trader, bear, bull or fundamentalist, we all dream of the multi bagger returns
when we are on the lookout for the next sexy company, sector. Oil & Gas, Leisure and Gaming stocks and
related companies have all played their part and produced multi bagger returns. At www.lemminginvestor.com
our members have been blessed with many outstanding growth companies in little over three years and will
be well aware of our move towards new innovative green energy companies featured last year, not because
they offer instant returns for the impatient investor, but long term returns for the patient investor, where
buy and hold actually works. We have identified several companies because we believe they offer high
growth, management excellence, innovative solutions to today's energy demands, while offering protection
we are all facing as our climate changes.

The investment environment is changing for companies in a diverse energy sector, some of which should
yield high growth for years to come, in areas we believe are rapidly changing - New exciting areas like
Emissions Trading, BioFuels, Solar Power, Fuel Cell and Ethanol fuel. This report will focus on both
greener energy markets, and companies within those markets which are already benefiting, and those we
expect to do so in the future. Those companies already featured will have hyper URL`s to inaugural reports.
Before I go any further, I should add there are many risks associated with new energy companies; not least
little is known historically about these companies. Their technology maybe at an early stage of development,
R&D spend may prove a strain on financial resources or political risks associated with the origin of the
company. All new innovative companies come with high risks ahead of commercialisation and in some cases,
no proven products and or no proven market for their products.

Greener Future a must
Energy, or the means by we generate it has always been a hot topic, never more so than right now and not
just because of high oil prices and worries, political instability in the Middle East. New innovative companies
with real commercially viable ideas across a wide range of energy fields that actually work make for real
exciting times ahead - Pace is picking up and the sector hotting up. The aim of this report, is to identify
potential high growth candidates for the patient investor some you will note some have already sprung the
starting blocks.

Energy sustainability and other issues of environmental importance are a national and international priority,
with the potential global environmental problems facing mankind in the next 10-50 years. Concerns
regarding environmental pollution and climatic change have raised the general publics concerns regarding
the environment to an all-time high.

The issue of stopping the growth (and preferably lowering) of atmospheric CO2 levels and other greenhouse
gases, is one of great importance, and possibly the one key factor in reducing the ever increasing threat of
global warming and its associated threats to the earths weather systems, ecosystems, and the overall
quality of life. Realistically emissions need to be reduced by about 60% to stop growth, however, that target
at present appears to be unattainable. Thus, our aspirations need to be modified as to one of minimising the
rate of change.

Reducing CO2 emissions is a priority globally, as well as here in the UK, where innovative companies are
seizing opportunities within the UK industry to leverage its traditional strengths and take a worldwide lead in
clean energy. There is co-ordinated and comprehensive support and funding including the recent
announcement of 40 million for carbon abatement technologies and 15 million for hydrogen and fuel cell
demonstration projects. This enables expertise in the marine, oil and gas industries for example to be
transferred across to develop renewable energies and greener ways of burning fossil fuels.
Greener Methods
Ethanol
As previously mentioned in our ethanol boom article, the U.S of all places, is waking up to the need to be
greener, and now it looks as though the U.S has finally recognised that energy dependence is America's
economic, environmental and security Achilles' heel, and is about to take a giant step to free itself.
Ethanol is an alcohol fuel made from distilling sugars in crops, primarily corn in the U.S. In some states, a
gasoline blend with 10% ethanol - E10 or E85 - a blend that contains 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol; all of
which widely used to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.

Five-million-plus ethanol-ready cars and trucks are already on the road at $200 extra cost for each, without
Detroit ever feeling the need to tell the public. Auto makers have quietly added the flex-fuel feature to get a
break from fuel-economy standards.

An unlikely alliance of venture capitalists, Wall Street investors, auto makers, environmentalists, farmers and
politicians are putting real money into bio-refineries, car engines that switch effortlessly between gasoline
and biofuels, and R&D to churn out ethanol more cheaply.

About one out of every 40 cars and trucks in the United States can now run on a commercial mix of gasoline
and ethanol, which is mostly made from corn.

Ethanol enthusiasts, such as corn growers and the politicians who represent them, would like that number to
rise. The federal government is helping with subsidies for ethanol. We think the future for ethanol, or the
greener method used to produce it, will be via high cellulose plants, not corn. Although cellulose ethanol is
still an experimental process in which ethanol can be made from almost any type of plant, this still expands
the source material for biofuels. And by using trees, grass or crop wastes, energy input into the process may
be reduced.


Photovoltaics (PV) - or solar cells as they are often called, are semiconductor devices that convert
sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Groups of PV cells are electrically configured into modules and
arrays, which can be used to charge batteries, operate motors, and to power any number of electrical loads.
With the appropriate power conversion equipment, PV systems can produce alternating current (AC)
compatible with any conventional appliances, and can operate in parallel with, and interconnected to, the
utility grid.

Is geography ever a problem? You can't really expect solar to do well in Scotland
You do want sunshine, but there are some subtleties in the technology. For example, thin film can generate
more power with less sunshine versus conventional technology. But in general, the more sunshine there is
the more electricity youre going to be able to generate. You're always going to produce more in Australia,
Southern Europe, for example, than say, Scotland.

can't afford any more!!

'can't afford any more!!'

You lost me Moneyplus!

moneyplus - 06 Feb 2007 21:24 - 4 of 5

Sola, Seo,Sit, Cch, Eiib, Sar, Vds and more besides! I like the look of Rom but I'd rather get back into Bprg as soon as I can scrape a bit together. Cle I bought last year and sold for a tiny profit---how stupid was that? no interest at all when I held them and I couldn't see them making a profit for years. holding tight to sola though. I'd like a small amount of all the companies you've covered they all seem undiscovered gems!

moneyplus - 06 Feb 2007 21:30 - 5 of 5

Got my fingers burnt with BFC and DOO last year so I've stayed away from biofuels for the time although RPL tempts me.
