Food Energy Water and Sanitation (FEWS) Communities Solution for Economic and Community Empowerment
Who is Green Phoenix Energy?
Green Phoenix Energy (GPE) provides more than just environmentally sustainable power to on/or off the grid communities. GPE provides a means of scalable, focused economic development. Our primary markets include developing countries and rural and exurban areas of developed countries.
Sustainable Food, Energy, Water and Sanitation (FEWS)
FEWS Community is not an energy technology, it is instead a methodology that allows for community development from the ground up. The technologies chosen for its implementation are done so from an agnostic point of view. In other words FEWS is a dynamic concept that is always looking for better technologies to implement the vision of community empowerment and sustainability.
FEWS Concept Model

Green Renewable Biomass
Biomass is abundant in nature and a renewable source of energy:
1. Source of energy is very cheap2. Large amount of land is required to grow enough biomass to produce
energy /Bio-Fuels3. The growth and collection of fuel on such massive level is also very tough
and costly
Energy Crop Production
1. Availability and access to crop
2. Biomass produce per acre
3. Effect of Fossil fuel on price of crop
4. Control of Crop yield and cost Factors (Rain, Insects, Disease)
5. Total Cost of Crop Growth (Land, Fertilizer, Fuel/Power, Labor)
6. Total Cost of Crop Harvest (Transportation, Labor)
7. Total Cost of harvest preprocessing (Fuel/Energy, Labor)
An energy crop is a plant grown as a low cost and low maintenance harvest used to make bio-fuels, digested or combusted for its energy content to generate electricity or heat.
Profitability Criteria
Optimal Sized Biomass Plant
Assuming a typical biomass supply for a Biomass power plant site, 25 megawatts is an optimal-sized project with respect to capital costs and fuel supply costs. Smaller projects will be more expensive to build (per KW) and larger projects will require a larger fuel-aggregation radius, which leadsto unsustainability due to transportation costs. Therefore, in order to make biomass energy systems cost effective beyond the 25 MW size, we determined that there is a better fuel source.
Duckweed as a Energy Crop
Duckweed species are small floating aquatic plant found worldwide and often seen growing in thick blanket-like mats:
1. Doubles its biomass in 16 to 24 hours2. More yield per acre than any other system of energy crop production3. Hydroponic growth System creates consistent crop access and yield
control4. Cost of crop growth is very low, controllable and predictable
5. Fossil fuel cost has no effect on final crop cost6. Not consumed by people

Biomass Production
(Fuel)
A distributed base level power system for economic growth is needed, so we created a cost effective fuel growth process and connected with a standard biomass to energy system
Food is needed, so we utilized the well established principles of aquaponic’s to both feed and empower a community
Water and sewage processing is needed, so we used atmospheric water generators and the natural ability of duckweed to efficiently process waste water

Plasmafication Information
Targeted Power Generation For Economic Development
Current Power Generation Methodology and Challenges
95+ percent of all homes and business use diesel generators as there primary means of power generation Diesel fuel cost are high and getting higher
High pollution emissions cause health issues
Pollution effects efficiency of clean solar systems
High fuel cost, price and supply volatility create insurmountable risk barriers for new industrial development
Traditional Power Generation Process
1. Power generated at power plant
2. Step-up substation increases voltage to 69,000-765,000 (depends on distance and amount desired)
3. Electricity enters transmission system
4. Step-down transformer reduces voltage
5. Power is distributed by power lines
6. Homes and business use power, creating revenues for the power network stakeholders
Challenges with Traditional Process
Constant network failures disrupt the revenue pipeline for network stakeholders
Creates a “chicken or the egg” stakeholder capital investment problem (which requires government to fill the gap)
Without stable stakeholder revenues, maintenance and development are affected
Takes an undetermined amount of time and capital to develop a stable reliable end to end network
Economic and community growth is hindered
FEWS RE-Plant Power Generation
The FEWS model of power generation develops (50-100 MW) biomass, natural gas energy and Municipal Waste
Green power and other RE-Plant byproducts (water steam, etc.) are sent directly to a industrial park to directly stimulate economic growth
Simplifies power generation, transmission, and distribution problem Reduces/Simplifies Network Development , Maintenance and Cost Simplified generation and delivery model translates into Stable 24/7
power delivery at a lower, stable price per/kw Fixes “Chicken and the Egg” development problem which enables
economic and community development Ability to use Municipal waste and natural gas as a secondary fuel
source allows for continued industrial park growth beyond the 50MW capacity of FEWS biomass energy system.
Catalyst for the development of a national natural gas network to distribute and monetize natural gas resources.

Client Requirements
Community Empowerment Through the Utilization of
Micro-Entrepreneurs
Economic Development Principles
1. A fast growing community can only be empowered through targeted Micro-Entrepreneurial programs that benefit the common man and woman
2. Education is the key, development and utilization of efficient/cost effective methods of curriculum delivery are mandatory.
3. Educational system must enable Functional literacy not basic Literacy
4. Full utilization of the potential workforce irrespective of gender is mandatory Trickle down government prosperity solutions do not work Developing economies must have a free option for supplying basic potable water
and sanitation to its most vulnerable citizens -- profit can not be the driving force A community that spends the majority of its day finding food and potable water
will never grow to its full potential Vibrant stable communities must have access to reliable affordable energy to
thrive Reliable/cost effective communication networks must be available in order to
develop a modern economy Efficient Waste Management Systems must be developed in conjunction with
other economic infrastructure
FEWS eLearning Environment (FeLE)“Education is the key”, Sustained economic prosperity is only achieved through the creation and utilization of Efficient/cost effective methods of curriculum delivery Control infrastructure cost by utilizing the high speed community wide data
network created by the FEWS RE-Plant Control cost by using pen technology to create paperless teaching
environment Control cost through Remote management of environment by utilizing
Desktop Virtualization (Dumb terminals) and Cloud Storage technologies Enable the Government, Universities, Businesses and Local/International
Charity teaching organizations to deliver course curriculum to students Empower students to learn at their own pace rather than pace of the class State of the art hardware infrastructure and curriculum delivery systems
attracts International aid money for student scholarships Enable efficient utilization of specially skilled teaching resources (e.g. calculus
teacher could stay home and teach students from several areas at once)
Act as a national focal point for equipment purchases and management of distance learning

Zero Energy/Waste Smart Grid Communities
What is a Zero Energy/Waste Community?
A Zero Energy/Waste Smart Grid Community, is a community that, by design, seeks a net zero demand equilibrium for home utilities. This is achieved by:
• The clean generation and smart distribution of an excess resource in one part of the community to fill a demand in another part of the community. (Water, Gas, Power)
• The use of energy efficient construction techniques and technologies• Waste products (Water, Sewage, trash, etc.) are recycled and reused in a smart,
integrated and sustainable manner. • Sustainable living training for home occupants (reduces monthly expenses)
Most importantly, the technologies and techniques used to meet this Zero Energy/Waste goal are well established and widely available
Household Monthly Cost ComparisonAssumptions
• Home size 93 square meters• Average household size is 5 persons• Each person uses 150 KWh/month• Each person uses 378 Liters of water/Day
Category Cost New Cost
Description of how the new cost was calculated
Electric $195 $45 Cheaper price/kwh, more efficient home construction reduces cooling needs, additional savings from hot water production (tankless water heater)
Gas $20 $10 Gas supplied by the onsite Waste Recycling System (WRS)
Water $30 $18 WRS recycles waste water onsite reducing cost/liter
Trash $20 $12 Trash output reduced by 40% due to recycling

Home Water Production Cycle Home Power Production Cycle
Home occupant is incentivized to live sustainably and conserve resources through a water and power “net” metering program. The program credits their bill at a predetermined price for the excess.
Solar System
Economic Sustainability of Model• Home is leased not sold• Monthly Lease Cost $700• Home Utilities Monthly Charge $450
(includes home community/maintenance and equipment upgrades)
• Total Cost of Home $150,000• Capital Invested per Home $30,000• Monthly Debt service $600• Our Cost for Monthly Utilities $210
Revenue per home = $1,150 – $810 or $340/month
Using the parameters above an investor ROI of less than 8 years. Additionally if we add a $700 monthly lease payment to the traditional home monthly cost (see previous slide) see that the cost of living in the Zero Energy/Waste home is 19% cheaper.
Notes:• The above model is based on a family of 5 living in a 93 square meter home. The home size and
family size can be scaled up or down to fit different scenarios.• The most important hidden success factors of this project are the use of best of breed
technologies and inclusion of a robust maintenance program to ensure the ongoing efficiency that makes this model possible. The neglect of these factors in past projects has been the number one reason for failure

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
