Questions And Answers

The following Q&As are based on 2023 presentations to PhD students at Edinburgh University and potential customers.

1.1 Why will there be a demand for accelerated growth technology?
Globally demand for food and energy cannot be satisfied by conventional processes, especially if fossil fuels are phased out. The demand for more food and energy using bioscience to accelerate processes as a base is likely to increase exponentially as it is the obvious viable available alternative.
1.2 Why has it taken 18 years to reach this point?
Thousands of scientists with billions of dollars and substantial resources have failed to solve this over 40 years. It has taken our group 18 years to reach the point where we are sure every process element can be built. For example, we have made crops grow faster and experimented with light, sound, and electrolysis. Thousands of other scientists have worked unknowingly on tiny elements that comprise the process. However, we are only now ready to build commercial scale stacks of troughs in the right kind of inflatable or other insulated fast construction building with all of the various solutions applied to creating food, fuel, hydrogen, and electricity.

1.3 Why has your team achieved what others still need to?
We have systematically identified and answered every problem that stopped local affordable food and energy production. We looked at the research of thousands of scientists who had partial solutions. Only by stitching together hundreds of fragments created by brilliant minds can we create viable, sustainable solutions to food and energy production.

1.4 Do you have anything original or patentable?
99.9% of new ideas are built on previous work, whether successful or not. Dyson did not invent the vacuum cleaner or the space where a bag would have been. Much of the process is derivative in our case, but the combination of elements is unique and can be protected. However, mass disseminating products with powerful partners are better than any patent.

1.5 What protection do you currently have?
We registered a general patent with the UK patent office to claim prior art. We will enhance this in partnership with our investors. We also have a policy of deliberately leaving some small but vital information from publication until we are sure of market penetration. Later we will look at black-box IT systems for proprietary software and genetic markers in any original genetic advances. We will also upgrade; however, our most prominent protection will be to have 7 franchisees launch globally and quickly.

1.6 Why are you proposing to use franchising which is undoubtedly more suitable for McDonald’s?
We need potent partners with geopolitical reach who can service a significant or essential region and simultaneously launch the products on a large scale. Franchise structures give slightly better control, communication and brand messaging levels than licensing.

1.7 Investment into new factories and servicing is less attractive to potential franchisees and will slow the launch dramatically.
The process assumes that a hierarchy of external third-party suppliers makes the components. This list has multiple layers to cope with excessive demand or problems, but jobs and profits are attractive motivations. Franchisees work with their local equivalent of Amazon or DHL, who receive all the components for a unit and assemble these in containers that are sent to the customer. The franchisee’s job is to sell (unless they are retailing energy direct) and to service. GGT’s job is to create upgrades to keep us ahead of the competition. Therefore a franchisee buys a region (or countries like India and Japan) but does not have to spend a vast sum on capital items for a business that can start quickly and potentially earn billions from helping the world.

1.8 Have you chosen or negotiated with potential franchisees yet?
We should not repeat early attempts to have an unbalanced negotiation before we have a strong negotiating position based on absolute proof of commercial scale viability. However, we have looked at who has the power or infrastructure to deliver and who would be better as a partner than a competitor. So obvious choices are Toyota, who believes in e-fuel and Hydrogen, and Tata, who knows about algae and builds cars and Oil majors.

1.9 Why would you think about the oil and gas industry as partners for a sustainable business?
The world is trying to eliminate the use of its cheapest energy source, so oil and gas companies should want to manage any transition while retaining profitability. Even with advances such as sodium-ion batteries, EVs powered by solar and wind will not dominate. By adopting and owning the production of the only viable alternative to conventional fuels, the Oil majors could benefit from the declining coal, oil and gas industry while creating new profits from bio-coal, e-biofuel, Hydrogen and green electricity. They can also utilise existing wholesale and retail structures to sell energy directly.

1.10 Surely none of these partners will be able to distribute food?
The food units are there because accelerated vertical hydroponics for food is how this all started. Evidence shows that up to a billion people’s crops could fail if climate disasters continue to expand. Some countries also want more food security, and this solves that, as well as refugee and disaster food production. Energy focussed franchisees would have to appoint food partners, but having a profitable subsidiary with globally positive PR implications should be acceptable for intelligent management.

1.11 Vertical farming and hydroponics are not new. Why is yours better?
The key issues were the cost, power usage, water, and limitations on crops that could be grown. We reduced costs by sourcing affordable and durable inflatable buildings, speeding up growth to increase profits, sourcing low-cost components and creating manual alternatives for the lowest-cost version. We also identified high-value crops that could offset costs if structured as a loan/lease. Energy costs were eliminated by making the unit self-powered.

1.12 Biofuel has not replaced gasoline and diesel. Why will yours?
Environmentalists have rightly said that biofuel grown on farmland removes essential food production. That has affected biofuel as a solution because high-tech indoor biofuel has been too expensive. Now under the umbrella of e-fuels, there is a realisation that this is part of a matrix of solutions that includes EVs and hydrogen vehicles. Our system of growing fuel locally in self-powered accelerated growth indoor vertical farms cuts costs to an acceptable level when CAPEX, lower transport costs and variable labour costs are considered. By utilising the food technology low-cost infrastructure and adding multiple clever adaptations of proven science, we not only cut production costs but can answer environmental concerns while delivering sustainable fuel where it is used. Regional bans on combustion engines mainly apply to those using fossil fuels, but there is a growing campaign to allow genuinely sustainable e-biofuel everywhere, especially in hybrids.

1.13 What breakthroughs or past science lowers the cost of e-biofuel?
Enhanced ethanol can be extracted from plants rich in sugar. We started with a variant of the fastest-growing starch-rich plant and then applied a proprietary mix of nutrients and catalysts to the water. We manage light spectrums to speed up photosynthesis, especially when combined with catalysts. We use mild electrolysis and sound waves and also control PH and air/water temperature. The use of biological starch extraction and refining/distilling also reduces costs. There are also other trade secrets.

1.14 How do you solve ethanol as a low energy poor substitute for gasoline?
We have a specialist supplier who can enhance ethanol regarding cetane rating and energy content, which remains in the range of regulated fuels. Our medium-term approach will be to get a variant of bio-butanol approved as a regulated fuel.

1.15 Why is Diesel now impossible to rehabilitate as a green fuel?
Fossil diesel was recommended for its better economy but later condemned because of the exhaust particulates and other toxic elements. Modern versions of diesel engines, such as the new Renault unit, already clean up fossil diesel. E-biodiesel has no particulates and emits fewer exhaust fumes because of the economy. The torque values of diesel remain attractive in heavy transport applications, and hundreds of thousands of generators could be made greener with e-biodiesel.

1.16 How are your e-biofuels green?
It takes 1.8kg of CO2 to grow 1 kg of algae. Under 10% of that is used to create e-biodiesel. That biodiesel, when combusted, produces around the same amount of CO2 as its total weight. So more CO2 was absorbed than emitted. However, CO2 used in the manufacture of parts, processing, and even local transport, plus other factors, cuts the advantage of biodiesel back to 40% less CO2 when burnt than was sequestrated by all sources in production. Ethanol starch plants absorb less CO2 when growing. Still, the comparable burn rate of enhanced ethanol effectively extracts 20% more CO2 from all process elements than the internal combustion engine emits. In both cases, the process units must be self-powered with green electricity. EVs would match this greenhouse gas figure after 50,000 miles. The sustainable argument is complex but is simplified with hybrid vehicles. Toyota can now extract 100 miles electric-only range from a self-charging hybrid and, when coupled with e-biofuel, allows for a perfect blend of power, cost, and targeted emissions.

1.17 Why are you not focusing on Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
Lipids from algae can be used for sustainable aviation fuel, and that is an option for the military and eventually civilian airports. At present, this is a safety-orientated debate with many companies involved. It is a relatively small market compared to food, electricity, and other forms of transport, and strategically, we may team up with aviation experts to offer delivery infrastructure, or we may develop our total solution.

1.18 What is bio-coal?
Our earliest target is the 34% of alternative energy which comes from biomass all too often sourced from trees. Some are disguised, but the usual argument is that cutting down a forest of mature trees, replacing them with twigs, and burning them for energy is sustainable. Our version of bio-coal is based on the highest volume of combustible organic material we can grow, which is converted to coal or wood clones, then dried and pelleted. We can also add organic refuse to the volume and site the production unit next to the power station where possible. We could either entirely replace coal or trees or at least co-fire and reduce the damage because we absorb CO2 during the production phase. Enabling the continued use of coal-fired stations, furnaces, and wood-based power plants and kilns is again part of the transition process, as coal works for poorer or developing countries, and shutting off their output can cause power grid deficiencies.

1.19 What are the advantages and demands of GGT electricity?
In 2023, 60% of the world’s electricity will be made with fossil-based processes. The problem is that developed countries want developing countries to not have the advantages they had and to use less electricity. However, people who have newly acquired disposable income want electrically powered items from fridges to phones. At the same time, industrial and data center/AI generation has no genuinely affordable solution to going green. The electricity created at the local level where it is used has the same advantage as cell phone networks which require limited infrastructure. Green electricity is produced if the new electricity is generated by clean e-biodiesel from indoor crop units self-powered by biomass waste-generated electricity. Globally the demand is rising, and that is without EVs and AI. The wind is limited, as is solar, but all are part of the solution if there is a transition to green electricity and heat. Industry can produce its own electricity, but prying control from regulators and their energy producer partners will be a challenge.

1.20 Why will your hydrogen production be viable?
As with everything, the GGT core proposition is local production without massive transport infrastructure. Hydrogen is difficult to handle as it should be compressed, and it is volatile. Production can be straight from the air, which is expensive both in CAPEX and production costs, or it comes from taking Hydrogen from water. Each of our standard units has 600,000 gallons of water in 600 units. There is an efficient hybrid form of electrolysis we can buy into. Still, we are also talking to a team that can extract Hydrogen from water without electrolysis while cleaning the water. As with everything, we will always use the best science available at any one time. The compression units come from a UK team that has cut costs by 40%. Our chairman is part of a 3D fuel cell printing company that can give us access to fuel cells for customers or electricity generation. So local cheaper production, cheaper compression and printed fuel cells if required.

1.21 What main changes make your food production viable?
Vertical farms in laboratory standard brick or steel buildings with automated harvesting are expensive to build and run. Inflatable 90% sealed buildings with manual or semi-automated harvesting cost less. The cost of food reduces by doubling the growth rate of crops when compared to traditional hydroponics. The high cost of external electricity is eliminated by self-powering the unit with any mix of waste biomass, organic refuse, solar, or wind. We scour suppliers for the lowest-cost quality components. Our financial model includes the production of very high-value crops to subsidize the operation and organizing loans to spread CAPEX costs where possible. GGT also deliberately reduces its potential profit margins to help feed the world.

1.22 Your management team is all old Chiefs.
In all cases, we prefer experienced, which saves us much time learning and avoiding mistakes. We must reach phase 1 before we have had to spread personal resources even thinner by employing younger experienced engineers. From phase 1 onwards, we will dramatically lower the average age as the team grows per the financial forecasts.

1.23 Where will you get the key engineers and others?
Ours is a world-changing business with both financial and spiritual rewards on offer. Talking to recruitment companies and trade organizations suggests we will be inundated with skilled applicants eager to contribute, which apply wherever the units and components are built. However, GGT will be focused on the initial build but primarily on enhancing and improving.

1.24 How will you deal with sales to Russia and China?
At present, we do not envisage any sales to Russia. China imports vast amounts of energy and needs energy security. They also have the most significant number of coal-fired power stations. GGT believes China would welcome having all its energy produced within its borders and supplying units to several countries in the region but not Japan, which, for many reasons, will be a franchisee in its own right.

1.25 How are your sales projections created?
Our low sales figures were based on the lowest demand and the absolute slowest component production possible with just one tier of suppliers. The central figures assumed marginal market penetration and good performance from two layers of suppliers, which is the level we have used for the projections. The high tier assumes under one per cent penetration of our markets as an average and moderate performance by four sets of suppliers. In all three cases, profit from the requested funding shows significant returns.

1.26 How is it possible to have such large profits and low overheads?
GGT is structured as a research company creating products assembled from third-party components and sold via franchisees. We do not require massive bureaucracy or middle management, and our second phase of research is focused on improvements and enhancements to existing products. The medium or high growth figures produce fixed revenue returns per unit sold. Still, as sales increase, the overhead of GGT barely rises, which creates a widening gap between central overhead and external income. Over time this will plateau, and it is expected that there will be negotiations with franchisees as they take on increased responsibilities.

1.27 What is the current share structure?
There is only one class of share. Dividends are guaranteed at least 50% of net profits but could be voted as more. The founders


2.1 AGVH FARM
2.1.1 According to Savills, an average traditional crop-land farm uses around 55% of the land; where did the 10% come from?
Our figure includes the grossly inefficient farms in poorer countries, allowance for damaged land and small farm holdings. The 55% figure applies to grains and large-area crops on big farms. Considering the small farms and inefficiencies/damage, this figure per farm is nearer to 10%.

2.1.2 AGVH Mini Power Station - Second Generation – Where is 1st and what happened to continuous improvement?
The first-generation design was developed in 2010 and had inherent faults as it did not deal with exhaust gases and other issues. GGT believes the latest iteration has solved early problems.

2.1.3 Food Unit = 100 Acres. How many crops? Harvesting Frequency? What is the expected average water use?
The number of crops depends on local customer requirements. Theoretically, you could have 600 different crops with one in each trough. However, the actual number will be based on local need/demand and the requirement to part-fund costs with high-value crops. Harvesting frequency depends on the crop, but whatever that is, it will be a shorter harvesting time as growing is accelerated, sheltered, and 24/7. Water usage will be a maximum of 10% of that required for land farming.

2.1.4 Ethanol = 4,000,000 Gallons. How many crops? Harvesting Frequency? Biomass Produced?
There could be a simple single crop for ethanol production or the more complex algae version with both ethanol and a Biodiesel/SAF. The single crop Ethanol plant is harvested every day after reaching maturity. 63% of the ethanol plant is waste biomass which can be used for other products or to produce electricity.

2.1.5 Biodiesel = 4,500,000 Gallons. How many crops? Harvesting Frequency? Biomass Produced?
Algae produce biodiesel, and other crops can be added to subsidize costs. 50% of the algae is harvested 4 times a day. 94% of the algae biomass will be available for a second fuel crop and electricity production via pyrolysis.

2.1.6 Mini Power Station = 11 KW – How many crops? Harvesting Frequency? How much Biomass is used to Produce biogas?
A biodiesel plant with generators, so the figures above apply. This would have 4 outputs: biodiesel which then generates electricity, residual biomass that produces a distillate fuel or other crops, and electricity to power the whole plant. The generators can also produce any extra electricity needed.

2.1.7 Hydrogen = 60-100 000 Kg per day – How is this produced parallel with the above or different crops?
The primary hydrogen production is via a hybrid electrolyser based on the troughs. Power for the process is created via biomass and biodiesel production in 60 of the troughs.

2.1.8 A building with 75 x 34 X 12 Meters – What is the water, electricity, and sanitary requirements?
Power and water for production have been discussed earlier. Water, electricity and sanitary requirements for other purposes will be adequate for the size of the building and the number of staff on each shift.

2.1.9 A military floor is what exactly? There are various statements online, including temporary matting and epoxy coatings.
Because of the weight requirements, we prefer interlocking military standard floor units designed to handle military equipment or a pile supported floor.

2.1.10 Does the building require a foundation?
It depends on where it is. If it is on an old industrial site with a concrete base, then possibly no. If it is on the sand in a desert environment, it will need a flattened, rolled/compacted base and a reinforced concrete foundation.

2.1.11 Can the building be a different colour to meet planning permission?
Green is widely accepted, but a customer can order any colour, but it will have our branding. Whether we use inflatable, ICF, or a repurposed building, the key is insulation and interlocked doors.

2.1.12 What are the requirements to re-purpose a building? Height, Heat, Light, Water, and Electricity?
The building will need to contain 600 tanks and ancillary equipment and have a clear roof height of 9 meters. The same service requirements will be needed as for our standard inflatable building.

2.1.13 Metal Framed building, what are the cost/time/location differences to the inflatable building, including depreciation?
Generally, a metal-framed building will cost twice as much as an inflatable one because of the insulation requirements, require a foundation, and take 10 times as long to construct but will last longer and depreciate slower.

2.1.14 Inflatable building, are there details specifications of the tensile strength of the material, fixture points, weather exposure, required pressure, heating, cooling, damage, and fire protection?
Full details will come with the building when ordered, but in general terms: There are 2 inflatable buildings interlocked over each other to create insulation and extra stability. The lifespan of the building is 20 years but with a review at 10 years. The fixture is strapped over the building every 3 meters and held down with auger screw fixings, plus ancillary guy lines are also fixed with augers. The material is non-biodegradable and weatherproof other than typhoons. There is no pressure to keep the building erect other than in the inflated ribs, inflated with blowers and a small generator and fuel. The material meets fire standards for inflatable buildings. Malicious damage to ribs or the material is a hazard that can only be offset with local boundary security. The use of concrete formwork has similar advantages in terms of speed of building and insulation but unless the foam form blocks are made on-site, they require expensive transport in some cases.

2.1.15 If the troughs are 2w x 6l x 0.3d, 3 sets of pairs 4mw – 12 Meters? The building is 25 meters wide. Is there a set spacing for the troughs?
Yes, the documentation has a layout plan, but rows have troughs end to end and 10 high with fixed gaps. Space around the rows is evenly distributed to allow access, processing and harvesting, plus room for ancillary equipment. 36% of the floor space is available for purposes other than troughs.

2.1.16 If the troughs are 2w x 6l x 0.3d, 10 Rows = 60 meters, how are they spaced, assuming 1 meter apart = 70 Meters leaving 5 meters for storage rooms, Reception, and Toilets all in 2.5 meters x 12 each end?
See the 2.1.15 above and the layout plan provided. Allowing access and space for all equipment and staff needs.

2.1.17 How can resupply of the inflatable building be achieved, assuming a need to maintain the temperature inside the growing area?
The ribs are maintained with the blowers provided. The building is sealed with a double access interlocked door at one end only to maintain the ambient temperature.

2.1.18 What is the anticipated lifespan of the inflatable building?
The inflatable building is expected to last approximately 20 years, with a review after 10 years to assess condition and performance.
