Neptune Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: NPDI), a
next generation aquaculture technology company, headquartered here, said
today its waste-to-energy technology was featured Wednesday, May 7, on the
11:00PM NBC Local News 6 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The segment can be
viewed at http://www.nbc6.net/goinggreen/16194147/detail.html.
The news segment, features research sponsored by the State of Florida's
Farm-to-Fuel Grant program, and shows how the Company integrates its
Aqua-Sphere(TM) closed containment, fish-rearing equipment with a floating
algae production system that uses the waste from the fish as fertilizer
for the algae. As a result, fish can be farmed without polluting the water
and the surrounding marine environment, while commercial quantities of
Algae can be produced for Florida's alternative energy program.
According to Ernest Papadoyianis, Neptune's President, "The need for
bio-fuels that are both economically viable and environmentally friendly is
tremendous. As the public has come to better understand the problems we
face with corn ethanol, algae production has rapidly emerged as one of the
top oil sources for bio-fuel."
He said, "The State of Florida has been very proactive in supporting the
Farm-to-Fuel program, and our local Dade County is committed to run all its
county vehicles on bio-fuel. We intend to create a commercial model for a
floating algae production system that can be used in any water environment.
The use of water acres will significantly reduce the burden on our valuable
farm acres."
About Neptune Industries
Neptune Industries is a technology company which from inception has been
committed to achieving sustainable, eco-friendly aquaculture by innovating
and pioneering a "total and comprehensive integrated systems solution"
approach to the mission critical challenges facing the Aquaculture Industry
today. Dwindling supplies of wild caught stocks used for fishmeal, and the
continued environmental damage, escapism, and disease caused by
self-polluting net pen systems, have severely restricted Industry growth on
a global basis.
Our mission is to utilize our expanding production operations base of
all-natural, sustainable farm raised seafood products, as the working
platform for the development of innovative, next-generation technologies to
dissolve current industry bottlenecks. Further, our commitment is one of
systems integration that targets "zero waste." Fish, organic produce, and
waste-to-energy systems synergize to form a production model with
multi-revenue streams.
Thus far, the Company has applied for patents and has made significant
progress in the development of three technology platforms, one of which its
calls "Ento-Protein"; the second of which it calls "Aqua-Sphere," and the
third of which is known it calls its "Aquaponics." Taken together as
components of a whole -- this total integrated system solution approach
addresses what the company believes to be THE three critical problems
stymieing the growth of the Aquaculture industry which will invariably
cause it to fall increasingly short of growing world wide demand.
Aqua-Sphere(TM) is a state-of-the-art scalable, modular, floating closed
containment system that is capable of concentrating and removing solid
waste, eliminating predation and escapement, utilizing alternative energy
for remote applications, and isolating crop from the environment.
Ento-Protein(TM) is a truly revolutionary development pioneered by Neptune
to be a high quality, sustainable protein derived from insects which is
intended to be a replacement for the rapidly depleting fishmeal made from
wild caught feedstock species, and is currently a $7 billion market.
Aquaponics is the existing practice of integrating fish and plant
production through soil-less culture (hydroponics) using the waste effluent
as fertilizer. Neptune has advanced the methodology through the use of the
Aqua-Sphere(TM). The hydroponic system provides a revenue stream off of the
waste component of the fish production through very high quality organic
herbs and vegetables. In addition, as another part of the water treatment
and Aquaponics system a derivative product of algae is grown in floating
socks, which is 30x more productive than corn on a per acre basis, for the
production of bio-diesel.
Finally to validate and test Neptune's solutions and technologies, the
Company operates a sustainable fish farming facility in Florida City,
Florida called Blue Heron Aqua Farms, Inc. Blue Heron Aqua Farms currently
is one of the leading producers of hybrid striped bass, which it markets
nationally and internationally as Everglades Striped Bass(TM). For further
