Speaking Personally           

>"Invest Here"<

Thanks Jim,

It is an "intriguing" idea however I don't see a direct form of investment so the start-up will have to move further along in the process.  The three key paragraphs for investment are:

Iqbal Quadir, executive director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, is intrigued by Girguis’ fuel cells. Quadir, who started a company that has brought cell phone service to millions of people in Bangladesh, has offered to let Girguis distribute the microbial fuel cells as part of a new power-generation venture Quadir is heading. The venture, Emergence Bioenergy, uses microbe-filled biodigesters to generate methane from cow manure. The methane is then burned to generate electricity.

“I like his technology, it’s a paradigm shift,” Quadir said. “He could put his technology inside our biodigesters and produce extra watts.”

A number of steps remain before that can happen, however. Though Girguis has developed several different fuel cells, he has not yet begun producing them. The Lindbergh grant will finance continued research on the cells, to see the difference in output from different soils and sediments, and on what happens when the soil is enriched with organic matter.

C 1 Of holy orders in the Church of England

3. According to the ancient law and usage of this Church and Realm of
England, the inferior clergy who have received authority to minister in
any diocese owe canonical obedience in all things lawful and honest to
the bishop of the same, and the bishop of each diocese owes due
allegiance to the archbishop of the province as his metropolitan.
