Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Peru Sweetens on Sugar Cane

For years Brazil was stealing the headlines concerning Ethanol production, but all the while a quite buzz was developing in the background concerning Peru. Now, it's Peru that may very well emerge as not only the preeminent producer of Quality Ethanol, but the most profitable also. This quiet development now has investors all around the globe watching this situation closely. Ethanol is an alcohol based fuel known for containing more octane than most gasolines, while burning cleaner and producing much less tailpipe emissions and green house gasses. It's generally created by the refining and distilling of a sugar from one…

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Cane is Able

Some 30 odd years ago Brazil made a bold decision. They decided that the best route they could take towards energy independence and a move away from importing oil was to use their vast acreages of sugar beets and sugar canes to distill fuel. As international oil prices continue to soar, that bet has put Brazil's decades old gamble at the forefront of a "biofuels" movement in which many countries view sugar cane, corn, soybeans, beets, cornstalks and native grasses as cleaner, money-saving substitutes for oil. This is especially true of oil produced in politically unstable countries where just the…

With the recent surge in demand to go green, much emphasis has been put on Ethanol production. Simply because it is Clean, Safe, and Renewable.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Sugar-based Ethanol Sounds Like a Sweet Deal

Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that is produced from renewable resources – in the case of Stratos Renewables, from sugarcane that can be grown and harvested in Peru year-round. Sugarcane, containing the highest starch content of any plant stock, enables nearly three times the ethanol yields when compared to U.S. corn, helping to drive down costs and balance supply and demand. Sugar-based ethanol produces 80 percent less net greenhouse gases than gasoline, and boasts an estimated higher “energy balance” of just over 8:1. Also, because sugarcane is a renewable resource, ethanol fuel produced from it satisfies short-term needs and…

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – How Ethanol is Produced

Technologically, the process of producing ethanol from sugar is simpler than converting corn into ethanol and uses about half the energy. While converting corn into ethanol requires additional cooking and the application of enzymes, sugar requires only a yeast fermentation process and the removal of water. The process begins with cultivating and harvesting sugarcane at a cane field. Further processing is done at the sugar mill where the cane stalks are shredded and then crushed to extract the cane juice. The byproducts of this process are cane molasses, used in the production of alcoholic beverages, fuel alcohol and for direct…
