Mantra Venture Group Announces Exclusive Negotiations with Northwind Ethanol Regarding a Cellulosic Ethanol Joint Venture
Mantra Venture Group Announces Exclusive Negotiations with Northwind Ethanol Regarding a Cellulosic Ethanol Joint Venture
OTCBB: MVTG FRANKFURT: 5MV
SEATTLE, WA, July 23 2008 -FirstCall/ - Mantra Venture Group Ltd. ("Mantra" - OTCBB: MVTG - FSE: 5MV) is pleased to announce that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Northwind Ethanol Ltd. ("Northwind") in regards to a joint venture to produce cellulosic ethanol using their proprietary technology. The vehicle for the joint venture will be Mantra NextGen Power Inc. ("NextGen"), a Nevada company and a Mantra subsidiary.
For some months Mantra has been looking for a way to make a difference in the transportation sector with a technology capable of reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. The ongoing work being done on hydrogen fuel cells and batteries to power vehicles of all kinds seems, after review, to be aimed more at the future. In the immediate term, Mantra has decided that a renewable fuel like ethanol would be highly desirable (and attractive in the marketplace) if it were not based on corn as its feedstock. Corn-based ethanol is now seen in North America as undesirable both economically and politically.
The answer lay in Mantra's introduction to cellulosic ethanol: ethanol derived from wood and agricultural wastes, an inexpensive and readily available feedstock. The problem is that, although various companies are working to meet the need, no technology is available today that met Mantra's exacting standards. Our search for a cellulosic ethanol technology resulted in our discovery of Northwind and our undertaking due diligence. The NextGen technology promises to be much more economic than ethanol from corn, practical in operation, clean (closed loop - there are no waste streams), and able to power itself by using material superfluous to the core process. The technology meets Mantra's test.
One of the aims in creating NextGen was to change the economics of ethanol manufacturing, to produce ethanol at well below $1 per liter. NextGen management believes that this can be accomplished.
Fred Enga, Northwind's C.E.O., commented, "Our two companies are close to achieving the agreement that will commence this joint venture in NextGen. Shortly after we finalize the agreement, we will begin to negotiate our first plant. Additional sites are also in negotiation and once we start, I expect the expansion process to move forward quite quickly."
Brian Currie, Northwind's C.F.O. added, "NextGen is the right business model to develop our technology combining the financial strength of Mantra with the technical expertise and market knowledge of Northwind."
About Mantra:
Mantra, through its group of sustainable energy, carbon reduction and consumer product subsidiaries, is active in the green technology marketplace with an innovative, multi-faceted approach focused on profitability through sustainability. By aggressively seeking out new technologies and innovating solutions for a cleaner earth for everyone, Mantra intends to provide a highly profitable, socially and environmentally responsible investment for its shareholders.

Well-known financial columnist Michael Brush continues his renewable energy audio series for Renewableenergystocks.com with a recent interview with the head of BP’s Alternative Energy Division, Vivian Cox.
When BP chief Tony Hayward commented earlier this year that he’s trying to figure out how BP shareholders can get more credit for the company’s alternative energy efforts, speculation arose that the company was planning to sell its green businesses. In this interview, the head of BP’s Alternative Energy Division, Vivian Cox, clarifies the company’s commitment to green energy development.
Vivian Cox comments. “We are investing a lot more money than our competitors in renewable energy. The real value of what we are doing is the equity value we are creating by growing these businesses.”

Excerpt:
Catch the Wind
Wind is looking like one the great opportunities for this year. If you follow Jim Cramer at all you may have heard him declare this to be the year of wind. And just this past week that well-known oilman T. Boone Pickens, who is building an enormous 4,000 Megawatt wind farm in Pampa Texas, declared a major PR campaign for wind. The “Pickens Plan” (www.pickensplan.com) calls for rapid ramping up of wind power and advocates the use of natural gas vehicles. Pickens views wind as part of a solution to our rapidly increasing expenditure on foreign oil. Currently $700 Billion is going offshore each year to pay for imported oil.

Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - Reports a 6-month Fiscal Period Revenue Increase of 61% for Manufact
Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - Reports a 6-month Fiscal Period Revenue Increase of 61% for Manufacturing Operations
BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 24, 2008 - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (OTCBB: ESIV; FRANKFURT: E6S) a United States-based Geoexchange Company, is pleased to report that it has seen a dramatic increase in positive revenue growth from its wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiary when compared to the same 6-month period from the last fiscal year.
"As it relates specifically to the sales revenues for our manufacturing subsidiary, Essential Innovations Corp. ("EIC"), we're very happy to report revenue growth of 61% for the 6 months ended April 30, 2008. In particular, this is representative of the strongest second quarter in our firms' history with our manufacturing business recording $200,867 USD in direct sales of our proprietary Geoexchange equipment during the period. As we look ahead to results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, given that EIC presently has some $500,000 CAD (+/-) worth of equipment in production or as backlog, we anticipate that EIC can achieve a quarterly growth rate on par with, or even greater than this current rate, when the EIC sales figures for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, are formally reported later this year," said Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO, ESIV.
Essential Innovations Technology Corp. provides cutting-edge Geoexchange solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications as both a manufacturer of proprietary geothermal heat pump technology and as a Geoexchange energy service company. The Company was incorporated in April 2001, and it has four wholly owned subsidiaries located in British Columbia, Canada and in Hong Kong, SAR, China.
Geoexchange technology harnesses the earth's clean, renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for purposes of heating, cooling, domestic hot water and/or dehumidification. A Geoexchange system is used to "exchange" the earth's natural heating and cooling properties between a building and the ground. This non-combustion transfer of energy is the source of performance and environmental superiority, as Geoexchange systems need only a small amount of electrical energy to then capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the earth.

increasing his price target to $335 from $280.
Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J. Peter Lynch, commented, “Solar stocks are beginning to come back from their recent correction. About half of the stocks I follow have broken above their 50- day moving averages. If the tax credits get extended the whole sector will run up, but it will require a close eye and the ability to exit quickly if the extension fails.”
According to Adam Krop, Vice President-Equity Research at Ardour Capital Investments, LLC,
“In addition to Lehman upgrade, solar stocks are moving higher on chatter that Japan may be on the verge of reinstating solar subsidies to make up for lost market share in the past two and a half years.”
The Ardour Solar Energy Index (Market, News), a compilation of global solar energy stocks
in three primary solar energy sectors: Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal, and Solar Lighting was up $9.20 at the close.
Robert Wilder, Manager of the WilderHill Clean Energy Index (^ECO) noted, “One needn't look very far to see why several solar stocks have seen increasing valuations lately. With oil around unprecedented highs, Saudis unable to calm concerns they cannot make up for growing depletion of existing supply, natural gas demand outstripping supply, and coal costs rising to boot, there's an environment of new attention to alternatives.” Full quote click here: http://www.investorideas.com/Articles/062408.asp
"Solar could make up 10% of U.S. generation by 2025 according to a recent utility solar assessment study by Clean Edge and Co-op America. This kind of projection evidences the growth potential of the Solar Industry to its participants, and we feel privileged to be a part of it," said Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX).

Renewable Energy Stocks Newly Listed Showcase Company, Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB: MVTG-FSE: EDV 5MV;Building a Portfolio of Green Technologies
Renewable Energy Stocks Newly Listed Showcase Company, Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB: MVTG-FSE: EDV 5MV;Building a Portfolio of Green Technologies
Carbon Capture Technology Recently Funded by Mantra Moves to Next Stage of Development
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC -June 19 , 2008 www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents featured showcase Mantra Venture Group Ltd. ( OTCBB: MVTG and FSE: 5MV), a public company that invests in and licenses a growing portfolio of green technologies. The company has licensed two key technologies developed at well respected University research departments.
The current portfolio of green technologies includes ERC (explained below), and “signal smoothing” which increases power efficiencies derived from wind, ocean & geothermal power. Mantra is interested in many other sustainable technologies and is investigating or negotiating some of these. An example is cellulosic ethanol: ethanol produced from wood and agricultural wastes (described below).
Mantra acquired the intellectual property for a process developed at the UBC Clean Energy Research Center (CERC) by Professor Colin Oloman (co-inventor with Dr. Hui Li) that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful products. The process, ERC (electro-reduction of carbon dioxide), takes carbon dioxide and water, combined with electricity, to produce commodity chemicals which can also be used as fuel to power a specially designed fuel cell. Together, ERC and the fuel cell are a clean renewable source of power in which the CO2 can be continuously recycled. It functions like CCS (carbon capture and storage, or sequestration) by taking up human-generated CO2 and ensuring it does not add to the atmospheric overload; it therefore shares the CCS market which is projected at hundreds of billions of US dollars in time.
The company recently announced new funding of $530,000 to fund the development of the ERC technology, the next stage is optimization. The work will be conducted at Mantra's new lab facility in Richmond, BC, and will focus on construction, testing, and optimization of an advanced prototype.
“I was personally excited to see this technology funded and into the next phase of development” commented Investoideas.com owner Dawn Van Zant. “I met Professor Colin Oloman at the UBC Clean Energy Research Department in April 2007, on a tour I set up for an investment group researching investment opportunities in BC in the green space. Colin gave us an in-depth view of the benefits of ERC vs. Sequestration. He is a well respected source in the industry and has developed a promising technology well ahead of the curve. “
Mantra has also acquired an exclusive option to a new technology, signal smoothing, developed at the University of Toronto to control electrical power developed from variable sources (e.g. wind farms, tidal, geothermal, etc.) It converts raw power into “grid standard”. Signal smoothing is a substantial improvement on the existing equipment and has a large potential market.
About Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB: MVTG-FSE: EDV 5MV)
Mantra, through its group of sustainable energy, carbon reduction and consumer product subsidiaries, is active in the green technology marketplace with an innovative, multi-faceted approach focused on profitability through sustainability. By aggressively seeking out new technologies and innovating solutions for a cleaner earth for everyone, Mantra intends to provide a highly profitable and environmentally responsible investment for its shareholders.

DOE Signs Agreement with Wind Energy Industry Leaders, Aims at 20% Electrical Generation
DOE Signs Agreement with Wind Energy Industry Leaders, Aims at 20% Electrical Generation
by 2030June 02, 2008
HOUSTON, TX. — On June 2, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Assistant Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Alexander Karsner, announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DOE and six leading wind industry turbine manufacturers: GE Energy, Siemens Power Generation, Vestas Wind Systems, Clipper Turbine Works, Suzlon Energy, and Gamesa Corporation. This two year collaboration aims to promote wind energy in the United States through advanced technology research and development and siting strategies to advance industrial wind power manufacturing capabilities.
"The MOU between DOE and the six major turbine manufacturers demonstrates the shared commitment of the federal government and the private sector to create the roadmap necessary to achieve 20% wind energy by 2030," Assistant Secretary Karsner said. "To dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance our energy security, clean power generation at the gigawatt-scale will be necessary to expand the domestic wind manufacturing base and streamline the permitting process."
As part of President Bush's 2006 Advanced Energy Initiative, wind energy has the potential to play an important role in our nation's long-term energy strategy. Investments in wind energy will fundamentally change the way U.S. homes and businesses are powered, in an environmentally friendly manner.
The agreement builds on a recently released DOE report, 20% Wind Energy in 2030: Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply. This report examines the technical feasibility of harnessing wind power to provide up to 20% of the nation's total electricity needs by 2030. Most notably, the report finds that by using wind power to meet 20% of our nation's electricity needs, we can eliminate 7.6 cumulative gigatons of CO2 by 2030, then 825 million metric tons in 2030 and every year thereafter.
In 2007, U.S. cumulative wind energy capacity reached 16,818 megawatts (MW)—with more than 5,000 MW of wind installed in 2007. Wind contributed to more than 30% of the new U.S. electricity generation capacity in 2007, making it the second largest source of new power generation in the nation, surpassed only by natural gas. The U.S. wind energy industry invested approximately $9 billion in new generating capacity in 2007, and has experienced a 30% annual growth rate in the last five years.
