Description of the Tree

"We have witnessed three economic transformations in the past century. First came the Industrial Revolution, then the Technology Revolution, then our modern era of Globalization. We stand at the threshold of another great change: the age of green economics."

The basis for Anagenesis Trees Corporation’s intellectual property encompasses over 30 years of research and development in the fields of forestry, farming, business and agricultural investment.

Through over 17 years of painstaking and intense research into one of the most robust and fast-growing species, Anagenesis has developed the unique, scientifically bred Anagenesis Trifolia tree; of Asian origin but faster-growing and stronger than traditional species. Thus, old adages such as “American Origin, Japanese and Asian Ingenuity,” are reversed and give way to the notion of “Asian origin, American Ingenuity.”

In short, we plan to grow the Anagenesis Trifolia trees in highly monitored forest farms and begin harvesting one year from planting as needed to produce the cellulosic Trifolia ethanol and electricity. By comparison, Anagenesis Trifolia trees grow larger in one year than the average pine tree does in 15-years, reaching a height of 7 meters and yielding 4 times more cellulosic ethanol due to their extremely high cellulose (natural sugar) content of 68%–69%. Anagenesis Trifolia can also be harvested at the end of the sixth year for timber, which typically is not possible until the 14th year in other plantations.

Although harvested one year from planting, each tree is eligible to receive significant carbon credits by virtue of being an extremely fast-growing tree, which scrubs a substantial amount of harmful CO2 gases and dust from the air. In so doing, each tree also releases large amounts of oxygen into the air per annum. Each tree can also absorb several US gallons of wastewater without any harm to the tree itself.

Anagenesis Trifolia is exclusively owned by Anagenesis Trees Corporation and provides a significant competitive advantage. Anagenesis Trifolia trees are more environmentally friendly than other plantations’ trees because they regrow from their own stumps and do not leave the soil leached of nutrients. The composition of the three leaves per row (as opposed to two) allows each Anagenesis tree to clean 50% more pollution (50% more intake of Carbon Dioxide), and through photosynthesis to grow at least 50% faster.

Year-round harvesting due to fast regrowth from the stumps

The Trifolia tree regrows, reaching heights of 21–24 feet per annum in the years following the first harvest, thus rapidly restoring attractive forestation and yielding more cellulosic feedstock at future harvests.

Anagenesis trees are transforming over-cleared land and distressed grounds into habitats for birds, insects and other wildlife. They assist in regulating water tables, adding nutrients to barren grounds, absorbing air and water pollutants and helping to overcome the dangerous greenhouse effect, as well as providing quality timber, cellulosic ethanol, green clean electricity and a variety of other valuable by-products.

The current eco-conscious business climate ensures a healthy demand for Anagenesis’ main end products (either ethanol for motor fuel or electricity) thus bringing long-term significant benefits to the local communities with the creation of long-term, highly paid jobs, substantial income through long-term leases and abundant spillover effects. In other words, a win-win situation.

A FIRST ENCOUNTER

  • The original species of Trifolia has been widely used in the Orient for fine furniture, musical instruments, carvings and decorative finishes for over 1000 years.
  • Trifolia is the 7th version of the tree.
  • A robust, deciduous hardwood that has the ability to regenerate from its own stump after harvest, again and again (no need for replanting for several years unlike cotton or tobacco). It is an extremely fast-growing species.
  • The tree prefers well-drained sandy loam type soils, not low wet land or areas that have a tendency to hold water or flood.
  • Trifolia is insect and disease resistant.
  • Trifolia is fire retardant. It does not contain flammable oils like other trees and is therefore less vulnerable to forest fires.
  • Anagenesis Trifolia is the quintessential feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production and closed loop, zero emissions power generation.
  • Anagenesis’ business model encompasses the interaction of three intellectual property assets, creating a revolutionary and topical use of forest farming for the generation of clean fuel and/or electricity.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION & CHARACTERISTICS

  • The Anagenesis tree has a taproot that will grow as deep as 7 to 8 meters and an extensive lateral root system 500 to 600mm below the surface that will extend out 3 to 4 meters from the tree trunk.
  • The Anagenesis tree is not subject to any known insect predators and pesticides are therefore not normally used at all.
  • Anagenesis Trifolia trees are micropropagated in a USDA Certified Laboratory from tissue culture. The tiny rooted seedlings are guaranteed to be pathogen and disease free. The specially formulated medium that the tiny rooted plants are in is classified sterile, thus allowing export of the plants worldwide without the need for quarantine at the destination.
  • Wherever possible, organic fertilizers (chicken litter, hog manure, etc) should be used. If sufficient quantities of organic material are not available, however, traditional slow-release granular 10- 10-10 is used at the rate of 1.5KG per tree per year. The soil pH should be maintained at 6 to 7.
  • Anagenesis Trifolia will not reproduce in open fields from seed, it is non-invasive.
  • Trifolia’s leaves, bark and wood are neither toxic nor poisonous and pose no risk to wildlife, animals or humans.
  • Trifolia will be grown in highly monitored forest farms geared to producing cellulosic Trifolia ethanol and electricity.
  • Anagenesis intends to start harvesting the trees ONE year from planting; all year round (one piece of the forest farm per week, to ensure that there is always a forest in place).
  • The trees will be harvested mechanically and fed into an onsite grinder. 100% of the tree (leaves, limbs, trunk) will be ground up and hauled to a processing plant.
  • Any delay in harvesting is unproblematic since the trees do not wilt and decay like corn; they will simply grow larger and yield more ethanol.
  • Aside from their considerable socio-economic contributions, the proposed Anagenesis forest farms will transform over-cleared land and distressed grounds into environmentally friendly forests.
  • Anagenesis Trifolia trees will assist in regulating water tables, add nutrients to barren soil, absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen into the atmosphere and counteract the Greenhouse Effect.

ANAGENESIS TRIFOLIA ETHANOL APPLICATIONS

ATC is able to combine the production of its cellulosic ethanol with a specially converted electricity generator to produce, zero emissions electricity via a Closed Loop System.

OR

ATC’s cellulosic ethanol can be mixed with fossil fuel (normal oil) to produce e.g. E85 or E15, which can be sold to distributors/gas stations.
