CUSTOM DESIGNED TREES FOR UNIQUE APPLICATIONS

Alcoa Green Technologies

Environmental Mission

Alcoa believes a business designed around natural processes, provides a model that can be successful, both economically and be environmentally friendly:

The system we model is Photosynthesis:

Soils need to be Designed & Managed

We Model Fertilizers, Hummates, Folic Acids, Biologicals, into a balanced growth system which is optimal for trees.

Aerobic Activity needs to be Achieved

Microbial Activityis paramount to healthy soils and successful tree growth.

Soils with Aerobic activities allow for better nutrient up take and eventually more rapid rates of growth.Adding Hummates, Acids, Organic fertilizers offer better bio-uptake to the trees.

Soil Remediation through Forests

Growth Rate over two years

Alcoa Tree Program Benefits:

CO2 Sequestration – 1 ton of CO2 removed per tree/year or 300 tons per acre per year of CO2.

Oxygen – 300 lbs/tree/year (45 Tons/acre/yr)Low water use – less than 1 acre foot/acre/yrTrees reduce ground temperatureDust AbatementFly ManagementWindbreaksSoil Remediation of toxic elements50 foot tap roots for ground water use

Alcoa Proprietary Benefits in GMO Modifications

Tree is non evasive and will not propagate.Tree biomass is an 8500 BTU pulp with less than

12% moisture content.It is a hardwood yet half the weight if pine. (great

for pallet applications/window blinds.)When cut for biomass the will be harvested

beginning in year three or wood products at year six.

Trees are great for cattle feed, pest management or wind or dust management.

Tree re-grows into its Stump

End Use For Wood Products
