Corporate Summary
Vista International Technologies, Inc.,
develops environmentally safe renewable energy infrastructures that
produce electricity, heat, steam and alternative fuels using its
proprietary patented technology, the Thermal Gasifier™ system. The
system converts municipal solid waste, biomass, tires and other solid
hydrocarbon based materials into synthesis gas which can be used to
produce thermal energy, while capturing the pollutants and turning them
into useful products. It does so by extracting chemical energy from
within solid waste converting it into a clean usable energy. The company
is well positioned to assume a leadership role in building renewable
energy infrastructures.
Additionally, the company owns and
operates a waste tire processing facility in Texas. It is the only
licensed site for the storage and processing of waste tires in the
Dallas area. The tires are processed into tire derived fuel (TDF), sold
to cement manufacturers as alternate fuel for cement kilns.
Investment Highlights
High Growth Sector ¨C As
technologies improve along with cost effectiveness, and the price of
fossil fuels continue to increase, renewable investments are projected
to continue to rise. The US produced less than 10% of its electrical
generation from renewable sources in 2006, and if hydroelectric is
excluded, that number drops to less than 3%.
Uniquely Situated - Rather than
increasing landfill sites or using incineration technology, the Thermal
GasifierTM solution utilizes waste as a resource for the
production of clean energy in the forms of electricity, steam or
alternative fuels.
Investor Commitment - Vista
International Inc. owns 50.7 % or 46,017,152 shares of the Company¡¯s
outstanding common shares and has recently committed to making an
additional investment of nearly $2 million.
New Solutions
Thermal Gasifier™
An unwavering commitment to clean energy
was the driving force behind the development of the Thermal Gasifier™
nearly a quarter century ago. Thermal Gasifier™ evolved to extract
chemical energy from materials, commonly treated as waste, and transform
it into valuable, usable energy and by-products. The Thermal Gasifier™
has proven to be the most economical and efficient method of extracting
all available energy from the waste stream. This process accommodates
the use of many different solid wastes without any alteration to the
unique Thermal Gasifier™ design. This means that Vista International
Technologies Inc. can maximize the energy generated from the waste
conversion process while still exceeding the most stringent EPA and
European Union regulations.
The Company plans to expand its target
markets by adding a liquid fuel process to convert the Thermal
Gasifier¡¯s synthesis gas into a high octane liquid fuel. Municipal solid
waste, wood, tires, etc. can be used as a feedstock to produce synthesis
gas. The liquid fuel produced can be used in the local market as a
higher grade fuel additive than Ethanol.
Environmental
Commitment
A commitment to a "clean environment" and
renewable energy was the catalyst that drove the development of the
Thermal Gasifier™ nearly a quarter century ago. Today, Vista
International Technologies, Inc. still believes in responsible
stewardship of the Earth¡¯s natural resources.
For Vista International Technologies,
Inc., ¡°renewable energy¡± involves the productive use of waste and
careful use of the Earth¡¯s natural resources. It is our goal and social
obligation, to eliminate or minimize pollution to levels that remain in
line with or below regulations set forth by the EPA and European Union.
