  Envirepel President Anthony Arand believes the Governor's mandate is within reach."This week we demonstrated sustained operations of our prototype hybrid gasification unit and verified raw combustion gas emissions levels," he said."This is a major milestone in our development efforts.Basically, it's our equipment, in our town, with our guys and our air district rules, which happen to be the toughest in the world."
  
  The emissions numbers are monitored on Envirepel's test unit, which takes biomass (green waste) through a "gasification" process.Later this year they will use the technology to produce electricity for their own operations and SDG&E.According to Arand, the technology isn't anything new, but his team has developed automated computer control software and emissions scrubbing systems to be used on larger combustion systems that emit cleaner air than what typically would enter the building.
  
  "Now that we've demonstrated that the ‘combustion unit' works," continued Arand, "we are off to the next part of our effort, which is to prove that the design can be used for commercial electrical generation, which is our 2MW project Kittyhawk."2MW of electricity is enough power for 1,200 to 1,500 homes.
  
  What could that mean for homeowners in the future around an Envirepel renewable energy plant?Cleaner air, less landfills, lower electricity cost, less traffic, more reliable electricity and less brown- or black-outs.
  
  Arand's renewable energy solutions are not going unnoticed, especially within the power generation community, as evidenced by his invitation to be a featured speaker at a Washington, DC, Biomass Energy convention earlier this year.Envirepel Energy has also had a steady stream of visitors from around the world inquiring of their efforts and touring the facility.
  
  Arand gives a lot of credit not only to his team of engineers but also to the City of Vista and the Vista Planning Group, who have given their full support from the beginning.This was a welcome change for the innovators who tried initially to build the plant in the unincorporated portion of San Diego County and were "thwarted," according to Arand, slowing them down by two years and costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars in delays.
  
  In stark contrast to the county, the December 2006 Vista Planning Group meeting gave unanimous approval to Envirepel to construct their manufacturing and test facility in Vista, clearing the way for their research and development.
  
  Vista Planning Group Director Richardson said, "I'm all for this… I think it would be a positive thing to have here… I think this is an asset."
  
  Added Director Martin, "Frankly, I think that Mr. Arand is the type of person we should encourage to locate in our business district - somebody developing these new environmentally friendly technologies.
  ...
  "We will start working on the use of combustion gases and CO2 recovery scrubbers to start our efforts in reformulating greenhouse gases back into hydrocarbon-based liquid fuels," said Arand.

  It has done so, said Anthony Arand, Envirepel's chief executive officer.
  
  "The environmental evaluation, the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) evaluation, of this facility showed that it had less impact as a power plant in a manufacturing facility than the guys who were in here before us," Arand said.
  
  "The regulatory change in our state since the last major round of power plant construction has basically taken the ability to pollute away from the power plants," Arand said."So if you're going to build new ones, you have to do it so they don't pollute."
  
  If the 240-megawatt bid is accepted, Envirepel's total commitment to deliver biomass-generated electricity to SDG&E, including existing contracts, would reach 264.5 megawatts, Arand said.

  "The entire purpose of this system is to produce energy with practically zero emissions," said Anthony Arand, CEO of Envirepel."If it doesn't operate at zero pollution emission, it shuts down."
  
  Arand said the Vista project, which he named "Kittyhawk," after the first in flight Wright Brothers, will be one of the first facilities to use emissions scrubbing equipment for the reduction of Global Warming greenhouse gases.
  
  The project is housed in a building in the Vista Business Park.
  
  Green waste from private waste disposal companies instead of being dumped in a landfill, would be hauled to the site.Same goes for slash from clean up from forest fires from the Cleveland National Forest provided by the National Conservation Service.
  
  The green waste will be ground and fed into a ceramic lined steel oven.The bricks will heat up and create methane gas.The gas would then be burned to heat a boiler that Arand calls "The tea kettle," and the steam from the boiler would drive a turbine to produce about 2,000 watts of electricity per day.Two-thousand watts of electricity is enough to power about 2,000 homes for an entire day, Arand said.
  
  Some of the energy produced by Kittyhawk would used to power the plant and the rest would be sold to San Diego Gas & Electric.In the very near future, Arand proposes setting up additional bio energy plants at landfills to handle on-site green waste, turn it into energy and almost as important, keeping it out of landfills.

  Tony Arand, CEO of Envirepel Energy, says while it may not very apparent, strategic maneuvers, offers and relationships with government agencies run rife when it comes to these projects.
  ...
  Envirepel Energy stepped up to the plate and offered to buy out the investors, which, according to Arand, would alleviate the chance of an actual landfill being placed in the canyon.
  ...
  As such, Arand is actively pursuing Envirepel Energy's biggest goal of creating a renewable energy plant, to be called Fallbrook Renewable Energy Facility.The plant will create energy by processing green waste.Arand confirmed Envirepel has an agreement to sell the energy to San Diego Gas and Electric.According to the company's Web site, "The residue from the incineration of green waste can be made into a fine grade organic fertilizer."
  
  Arand has enlisted the help of the nearby Pala tribe, who has purchased 10 percent of the company's stock and holds a seat on the Board of Directors.Besides these two entities sharing a business plan, they share a similar view, believes Arand.
  ...
  Harry Christiansen, vice president of the Fallbrook Community Planning Group (FCPG), said, "The only think I see with [Arand] is that he's a dreamer."
  ...
  Arand has speculated that Horn's decisions are guided by his campaign contributors.
  
  "I'm disgusted with what I've learned goes on in politics in North County," vented Arand.
  ...
  If all of the developments occurred, "our analysis showed, the Pala Mesa Valley would become a small version of the Los Angeles air basin with nightmarish traffic problems," guaranteed Arand.
