3. N-Viro International Corp.* (OTC BB:NVIC.OB) $2.81, +241%. N-Viro International Corporation develops and licenses its technology to both municipalities and private companies. The N-Viro's patented processes use lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products, including a biomass fuel called N-Viro Fuel. The newly developed and patented biomass fuel has physical and chemical characteristics similar to coal and is created from municipal biosolids.

At a recently conducted test at Michigan State University's power plant, which was designed to gauge and measure the performance of N-Viro Fuel, when blended with Eastern Bituminous Coal in a Circulating Fluidized Bed ("CFB"), University officials noted that, "burning the biomass and coal mixture yielded a similar energy output as burning coal." The experiment was so successful that the plant's director, Robert Ellerhorst, stated he hopes the university will be able to permanently use the alternative fuel to power its 5,200-acre campus. MSU burns 1 million pounds of coal per day to power its 5,200 acre campus. An additional advantage of the waste biomass-derived fuel, is the ammonia which is released from the waste during in ignite process. This ammonia is available to be used for NOx removal, which converts nitrogen oxide to nitrogen and water. .
