Title: Deployment Project
1TecEco Pty. Ltd.
2Carbon Sequestration
Earthship Brighton, the first building in the
world made with Eco-Cement which sets by
absorbing CO2
3Globally Important TechnologyIn the public
interest to develop
- TecEco have an economic solution to global
warming, water and waste problems. - TecEco Technology is the most important on the
planet right now given the threats to
civilisation we face. - The TecEco deployment project is in accord with
the Tasmanian Governments longer term economic
strategy for Tasmania to be The Intelligent
Island.
TecEcos Problem - Inability to supply due to
lack of resources. A problem we must do something
about or get swamped!
4TecEco
- A new technology and sustainability based
Tasmanian business - Value adding through allied scientific and
engineering consulting work - Employment of scientists, engineers and support
staff - A potentially significant flow of funds from
federal and global sources to Tasmania
5Team TecEco
- John Harrison BSc BEc FCPA
- Managing Director TecEco Pty. Ltd.
- Successful economist, scientist, accountant and
businessman - Research and development of cement technology for
over 25 years. - Established TecEco Pty Ltd in 1999 with the
financial backing of a number of prominent
Tasmanian business operators to pursue the
commercial potential of his inventions. - Has achieved international recognition as a
materials scientist, earth systems scientist and
sustainability expert. - 75,000k a month to web site and huge demand for
cement technology. - John White (major Shareholder)
- Graham Rogers, Greg Longman, Dr. Vin Lyne and
others. Qualifications and roles detailed on web
site
6TecEco Cements
- Are a superior system of blending reactive
magnesia, a hydraulic cement and optionally a
pozzolan - Case studies on web site confirm predictions.
- Exciting but limited data on web site.
- Reactive magnesia
- Could be made from Tasmanian magnesite.
- Production suits intermittent power such as from
the wind - Benefits include
- Tec and Enviro-Cements
- Improvements in strength and rheology and reduced
shrinkage (crack free concrete is possible) - Wastes can be used as aggregates
- Low pH.
- Polar bonding.
- Eco-Cements potentially can provide very
significant sequestration.
7Deployment Strategyfor Large Players
- TecEcos main objective is to attract major
players in the industry who - Do not innovate.
- Are risk adverse, but
- Have the means for rapid deployment.
- We plan to construct exemplars
- With major players (e.g. Boral who have signed a
CA) for implementation, and that will - Undertake testing in their labs even if at our
expense - Also in niche markets (see next slide) to provide
positive feedback in the industry.
TecEco
8Deployment Strategy for Niche Markets
- TecEco will also at the same time initiate
deployment in niche markets to demonstrate to all
potential customers - The technical superiority, and
- cost effectiveness of the technology
- Particularly in areas where
- The technology excels.
- Mistakes can be tolerated.
- High short run costs are not so important.
- It is easier to build networks and alliances.
9Deployment Methods
- Our product is a formulation methodology and not
in a bag or box - Our market is mostly overseas so we cannot
actually observe aggregates etc. - We therefore have to operate by remote control
- Using software is our only option to do so with
without unacceptable risk - Applying our methodology on a scientific basis
will also allow much more rapid deployment by
bringing together cause and affect. - The use of software will allow collection and
collation of characterisation data important for
sales to technical umpires in our marketplaces.
10The Project
- Programming Support
- Prepare TecBatch software for Use
- Oversee data collection and distribution
- Sell TecBatch and other sustainability related
technical software from third parties to large
web audience and academic networks already
established - Engineering support
- Numerous opportunities requiring implementation
- Characterisation through testing
- Collate data essential for further market
deployment - Growing networks to sales
11Existing Networks
12Project Budget
- Is about help for John Harrison so TecEco can
make more of the opportunities on offer.
13Project Costs
- Consultants fees payable to programmers,
engineers, scientists and our MD for project
management. - Salary costs for employment of a suitably
qualified engineer and programmer to complete and
deploy TecBatch software, coordinate project
partner activities and provide on site technical
supervision. - Administrative Support.
- Travel costs involved in fares and accommodation
for mainland site trials. - Project Term 18 months.
14TechBatch Software
- Unique expert guiding tool for implementation.
- Algorithms complete, but must be packaged for
sale and use - Based on science as much as results feedback.
- Will collate results for required
characterization. - Allow rapid implementation with low overheads and
less mistakes. - Can be sold with a raft of other technical
software developed with the help of
sub-contractors through our very popular company
website.
Will take the invention out John Harrisons head!
15Programmer Functions
- Complete and manage sales of TecBatch through the
companies very popular web portal - Liase with other Tasmanian developers and our
engineer to sell other technical software on the
same portal. - Liase implementation with universities and
concrete supply companies. - Manage computerised data collation and
characterisation
16Engineer Functions
- Supervision of trials with network partners and
implementers. - Provision of technical on site advice.
- Project promotion and invitation to participate
for additional project partners. - Collaboration with programmer.
- Collation and dissemination of engineering data
using TecBatch. - Review of trial outcomes.
17Mortars and Renders
The project will allow us to prove to our
technical umpires that nobody does it better!
18Masonry Grouts
Sprayed Concrete
The project will allow us to prove to our
technical umpires we have better properties
Foamed Concretes
19Porous Cement
20Toxic and Hazardous Wastes
The project will allow us to demonstrate the
superiority of TecEco binder technologies for
toxic and hazardous waste
21Topping Coats
The project will allow us to demonstrate and
quantify zero shrinkage on difficult topping
coats!
22Marine Works
The project will allow us to demonstrate crack
free very durable concrete for marine structures
potentially saving the Tasmanian government
millions each year.
23Project Outcomes
- Means to capitalise on rapidly growing demand
- Implementation of selling tools
- Accumulation of necessary engineering data
- Establishment of technology in major and niche
markets. - Cementation of Networks with flow on to other
markets. - Greater rate of sign off on partnering agreements
- Likely sign off major global partners
- Revenue from
- Sales of TecBatch software.
- Sale of reactive magnesia.
- Licence fees
- Consulting.
