ZEONs as Business of the Year - ZEONs is a world leader in developing the biofuels from various energy sources like corn, soybeans, Algae and Green Power Plants. ZEONs is also exploring the opportunities to use various food products as an alternative energy sources. ZEONs is committed to promote the renewable energy sources from Green Power Plants. On May 1, 2009, with Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani and Texas Governor Rick Perry, Zeon Energy received the Business of the Year award.
May 1,
2009 with Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani and Texas Governor Rick Perry
looking on, Zeon Energy received the Business of the Year award. Over the last
two years Zeons chairman Naved Jafry has grown the company to 110 employees and
annual revenues of $65,000,000 USD.
Zeons is a world leader in the development of alternative fuel sources and
their distribution to the marketplace, especially biofuels. Zeons shows its
commitment to an “increased adoption and promotion of renewable energy sources”
by investing in green power plants and in the production and distribution of
fuels such as B20 biodiesel (source: www.zeons.ext.com).
The world’s growing demand for energy continues to cause the price of energy to
increase, especially for petroleum-based fuels. These so-called “fossil fuels”
remain the prime source of energy for most of the world’s power plants,
machinery, and transportation. As the supply of fossil fuels, a non-renewable
resource, continues to dwindle, a continued rise in prices is to be expected.
The burning of fossil fuels may also be responsible for the changes being
observed in the world’s climate. When fossil fuels like the petrol used in
automobiles are burned they give off carbon dioxide and other carbon-based
emissions, gases which have been identified as so-called “greenhouse gases”
responsible for the earth’s warming. Zeons sees an incredible business
opportunity in the development of renewable energy sources that can not only
continue to make energy affordable for everyone, but can also reduce the amount
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by power plants and
automobiles. The future, according to Zeons chairmen Jafry, is biofuels.
Biofuels are by definition any fuel producing energy when burned that is made
or refined from a biological source. These biological sources may be vegetable
oils, animal fats, or even waste. The chief source of biomass for today’s
biofuel is corn, soybeans and cottonseed. The most readily available biofuel
already on the market, and which Zeon Fuel, Inc. itself distributes, is B20
Diesel. This fuel is a mixture of biofuel and petroleum based diesel, and can
be used by any diesel engine even without conversion.
Producing biofuel from corn, soybeans and other food products is, however, less
than ideal. Corn and soybeans are a significant part of the diet of humans in
some parts of the world. When these vegetables began being used for biofuel as
well as for food, their prices increased dramatically. This caused food prices
in some parts of the world to shoot upward, and even caused food shortages in
some places.
Zeons understands that if biofuel is ever to become a true alternative to
fossil fuels, some other non-food biomass must be found. Zeons is exploring the
exciting possibility of using algae as biofuel foodstock. Algae can be grown in
warm climates around the world, acre per acre yield over a hundred times the
quantity of biomass of soybeans, and can even benefit the environment while
being grown.
Algae consume carbon dioxide in their growth, and some forms of algae also
consume human waste and graywater. An algae farm, then, has the dual
environmental benefit of consuming waste and removing quantities of a
significant greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Because of their ability to use
waste as a source of food, algae farms may derive additional income from cities
and industries that “sell” some portion of their waste to them for treatment.
Algae farms can be started anywhere with the appropriate climate and area for
ponds. Taking advantage of this fact, Mr. Jafry and Zeons are developing ways
to link the world's more economically developed countries need for fuel with the
ability of even the poorest countries to produce the foodstock necessary to
produce it. Zeons is encourage the start up of algae farms in countries such as
India.
Overall, Zeons strategy to “promote and support the sale of environmentally
preferred fuel sources and blends” has put the firm at the cutting of age of
the development of an economy based on renewable, environmentally-sustainable
fuel sources (source: www.zeons.ext.com).
