Deployment Project Carbon Sequestration Earthship Brighton the first
Deployment Project
Carbon Sequestration Earthship Brighton, the first building in the world made with Eco-Cement which sets by absorbing CO 2
Globally Important Technology In the public interest to develop Ø Ø Ø Tec. Eco have an economic solution to global warming, water and waste problems. Tec. Eco Technology is the most important on the planet right now given the threats to civilisation we face. The Tec. Eco deployment project is in accord with the Tasmanian Government’s longer term economic strategy for Tasmania to be “The Intelligent Island”. Tec. Eco’s Problem - Inability to supply due to lack of resources. A problem we must do something about or get swamped!
Tec. Eco Ø A new technology and sustainability based Tasmanian business • Value adding through allied scientific and engineering consulting work • Employment of scientists, engineers and support staff • A potentially significant flow of funds from federal and global sources to Tasmania
Team Tec. Eco John Harrison BSc BEc FCPA Managing Director Tec. Eco Pty. Ltd. • Successful economist, scientist, accountant and businessman • Research and development of cement technology for over 25 years. • Established Tec. Eco Pty Ltd in 1999 with the financial backing of a number of prominent Tasmanian business operators to pursue the commercial potential of his inventions. • Has achieved international recognition as a materials scientist, earth systems scientist and sustainability expert. • 75, 000 k a month to web site and huge demand for cement technology. Ø Ø John White (major Shareholder) Graham Rogers, Greg Longman, Dr. Vin Lyne and others. Qualifications and roles detailed on web site
Tec. Eco Cements Ø Are a superior system of blending reactive magnesia, a hydraulic cement and optionally a pozzolan • Case studies on web site confirm predictions. • Exciting but limited data on web site. Ø Reactive magnesia • Could be made from Tasmanian magnesite. • Production suits intermittent power such as from the wind Ø Benefits include • Tec and Enviro-Cements n n Improvements in strength and rheology and reduced shrinkage (crack free concrete is possible) Wastes can be used as aggregates • Low p. H. • Polar bonding. • Eco-Cements potentially can provide very significant sequestration.
Deployment Strategy for Large Players Ø Tec. Eco’s main objective is to attract major players in the industry who • Do not innovate. • Are risk adverse, but • Have the means for rapid deployment. Ø Tec. Eco We plan to construct exemplars • With major players (e. g. Boral who have signed a CA) for implementation, and that will • Undertake testing in their labs even if at our expense • Also in niche markets (see next slide) to provide positive feedback in the industry.
Deployment Strategy for Niche Markets Ø Tec. Eco will also at the same time initiate deployment in niche markets to demonstrate to all potential customers: • The technical superiority, and • cost effectiveness of the technology Ø Particularly in areas where: • • The technology excels. Mistakes can be tolerated. High short run costs are not so important. It is easier to build networks and alliances.
Deployment Methods Ø Ø Ø Our product is a formulation methodology and not in a bag or box Our market is mostly overseas so we cannot actually observe aggregates etc. We therefore have to operate by remote control Using software is our only option to do so without unacceptable risk Applying our methodology on a scientific basis will also allow much more rapid deployment by bringing together cause and affect. The use of software will allow collection and collation of characterisation data important for sales to technical umpires in our marketplaces.
The Project Ø Programming Support • • • Ø Prepare Tec. Batch software for Use Oversee data collection and distribution Sell Tec. Batch and other sustainability related technical software from third parties to large web audience and academic networks already established Tec. Eco Engineering support • Numerous opportunities requiring implementation Engineer • Characterisation through testing • Collate data essential for further market deployment Ø Growing networks to sales Programmer

Project Budget Ø Is about help for John Harrison so Tec. Eco can make more of the opportunities on offer. Consultants 32400 Admin Support 12600 Airfares 9000 Meals and Accommodation 9000 Testing 13500 Engineer salary 72000 Programmer salary 72000 Total Project Costs 220500 TIP Funding 147000 Tec. Eco Contribution 73500
Project Costs Ø Ø Ø Consultants fees payable to programmers, engineers, scientists and our MD for project management. Salary costs for employment of a suitably qualified engineer and programmer to complete and deploy Tec. Batch software, coordinate project partner activities and provide on site technical supervision. Administrative Support. Travel costs involved in fares and accommodation for mainland site trials. Project Term – 18 months.
Tech. Batch Software Ø Ø Ø Unique expert guiding tool for implementation. Algorithms complete, but must be packaged for sale and use Based on science as much as results feedback. Will collate results for required characterization. Allow rapid implementation with low overheads and less mistakes. Can be sold with a raft of other technical software developed with the help of subcontractors through our very popular company website. Will take the invention out John Harrison’s head!
Programmer Functions Ø Ø Complete and manage sales of Tec. Batch through the companies very popular web portal Liase with other Tasmanian developers and our engineer to sell other technical software on the same portal. Liase implementation with universities and concrete supply companies. Manage computerised data collation and characterisation
Engineer Functions Ø Ø Ø Supervision of trials with network partners and implementers. Provision of technical on site advice. Project promotion and invitation to participate for additional project partners. Collaboration with programmer. Collation and dissemination of engineering data using Tec. Batch. Review of trial outcomes.
Mortars and Renders The project will allow us to prove to our technical umpires that nobody does it better!
Masonry Grouts Sprayed Concrete Foamed Concretes The project will allow us to prove to our technical umpires we have better properties
Porous Cement
Toxic and Hazardous Wastes The project will allow us to demonstrate the superiority of Tec. Eco binder technologies for toxic and hazardous waste
Topping Coats The project will allow us to demonstrate and quantify zero shrinkage on difficult topping coats!
Marine Works The project will allow us to demonstrate crack free very durable concrete for marine structures potentially saving the Tasmanian government millions each year.
Project Outcomes Ø Means to capitalise on rapidly growing demand • Implementation of selling tools • Accumulation of necessary engineering data Ø Ø Ø Establishment of technology in major and niche markets. Cementation of Networks with flow on to other markets. Greater rate of sign off on partnering agreements • Likely sign off major global partners Ø Revenue from: • • Sales of Tec. Batch software. Sale of reactive magnesia. Licence fees Consulting.
