PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Samoa Fiber HoldingsLow cost and abundant raw material combined with leading edge technology equal an exciting opportunity to reduce dependence on fossil fuels through Sfiber Bio oil.

At present, there are millions and millions of tons of proprietary SamoaFiber available as both wild harvest and through a patented process from future plantations to convert into Bio Oil.

Sfiber Bio Oil results in a lower cost to produce and a much higher energy yield when compared to bio fuels produced from corn, soybeans, or wheat.

Although it has been common knowledge that many fuels derived from bio mass were indeed net users of energy and only remained in production due to government subsidies, it was also known that the more energy efficient cellulose based raw materials were more challenging to process and required special technology.

With the breakthrough technology now available from several different sources (e.g. Fast Pyrolysis), the harnessing of energy from abundant, low cost SamoaFiber is achievable currently.

SamoaFiber is one of the fastest growing plants known. The yield per hectare is four times that of the fastest growing wood and many times more than other bio fuel raw materials. Moreover, the major difference in cellulose ethanol produced from SamoaFiber Bio oil and corn-derived ethanol is that cellulose ethanol has significant greenhouse gas reduction attributes while ethanol from corn has very little.

In addition, SamoaFiber is renewable as it grows from its roots to 10 meters in height annually. Where it grows in the wild, it is treated as a weed and eradicated through burning and the use of herbicides, both highly polluting practices.

The issue which has been faced by the bio fuels industry is the fact that the cost to produce and the energy yielded from bio fuels has not made economic or environmental sense because raw materials are expensive and energy intensive to convert.

SamoaFiber provides the low cost and abundant raw material that yields significantly more energy than is consumed in the conversion process
