Social Entrepreneurship ATC – South Africa – March 2008
March 2008
Trees for Livelihood
A Humanitarian Application of Cutting Edge,
Sustainable Energy Production Technology
2
nspired by the personal beliefs of its Founders and major shareholders,
Anagenesis Trees Corporation (ATC) is embarking on a course of Strategic
Philanthropy by initiating its first Corporate Social Responsibility Program in
close cooperation with certain, select charitable organisations. Via the “Trees for
Livelihood Program” ATC intends to demonstrate Social Entrepreneurship by
drawing on its commercial professionalism and cutting edge technology-based
model green enterprise and superb market position to create positive systemic
change via focused local intervention in the social, economical, medical and
educational (skills development) circumstances of a group of contracted employees,
their immediate families and the circle of people they may care for.
hile ATC’s booming expansion is taking shape via eleven scheduled
“Anagenesis Projects” worldwide, the creation of a new, humanitarian
version of the corporation’s commercial formula, based on “Social
Entrepreneurial Principles”, will form the local platforms necessary to –jointly-
implement the program.
ith the availability of adequate sources of capital forming the main
constraint of social entrepreneurs trying to initiate or scale up projects,
the “Trees for Livelihood Program” is characterized by the short, medium
and long term financial earning capacity of the underlying commercial Anagenesis
Project. In that respect, strategic cooperation with multilateral agencies and (local)
government to enhance the program’s effectiveness is unlikely to be burdened by a
heavy budgetary dependency of the program.

nagenesis Trees Corporation (ATC) was formed to bridge the current
technology gap in large scale Celluloid Ethanol production, namely huge
global demand and the absence of a credible, sustainable supply. The
Company possesses the tools with which to redress this balance and, in so doing,
spur a wave of commercially viable and environmentally friendly
investment.
ATC possesses two unique intellectual property assets. The first
of these is an extremely fast growing, pollution clearing tree, that
re-growths from its stump after cutting. The second is a
revolutionary celluloid ethanol production method.
ANAGENESIS – the Greek word for renewal, renovation and total rebirth –
lends its name to the company and the Anagenesis Trifolia Tree.
he basis for ATC’s intellectual property encompasses
over 30 years research and development in the fields
of forestry, farming, business and agricultural
investments. Through over 16 years of painstaking and intense
research and combination of the more robust and fastest grow
species, Anagenesis has developed the unique, scientifically
selected Anagenesis Trifolia Tree that grows more rapidly and
is stronger than traditional Asian species.
he selected tree is native to the Orient and has a long
history. The original species is known for its
extremely fast growth, clusters of showy and fragrant
lavender flowers, large, elephant-ear-sized leaves, and
extraordinary cash value for timber. It should be noted that the
Anagenesis Trifolia Tree grows larger in one year than 15-year
old pine trees and yields 3 to 4 times more celluloid ethanol due
to its extremely high celluloid content. ATC intends to start
harvesting the trees at the end of the first year after planting;
they can be harvested all year round (by roster, one piece of the
forest farm per week, to ensure that there is always a forest in
place). Any delay in harvesting is unproblematic since the trees
do not wilt and decay like corn; they will simply grow larger
and yield more ethanol.

FOREST FARMING RE-DEF INED
Forest Farming investments (usually specialized in timber) are very long-term and usually
cater to institutions, pension funds and High Net Worth individuals. Investors don’t see
revenues until trees are harvested which can be 15 to 40 years from planting, depending on
the species. Yet, forest farming/timber investments provide steady, consistent returns that
are competitive compared to stock, bond, commodity, direct and alternative investments. Due
to their rate of return predictability and portfolio management optimization, they smooth out
the volatility in traditional investment cycles. Anagenesis has added a new dimension to this.

CELLULOID ETHANOL APPLICATIONS:
ATC’s celluloid ethanol can be mixed with fossil
fuel (normal oil) in a special tank to produce
e.g. E85 or E15, which can be sold to
distributors/gas stations.
ATC is able to combine the production of
celluloid ethanol with a specially converted
electricity generator to produce clean, zero
emissions electricity via a Closed Loop System.
nce the trees are harvested, Celluloid Ethanol
can be produced using our unique and
exclusively patented distillery. We use a
combination of fermentation, hydrolysis and a mixture
of acids combined with the latest IT technology that
renders Anagenesis’ Celluloid Ethanol system a very
efficient and inexpensive system to operate as compared
to enzymatic processes. The requisite constituents in
our process are: 1. Trees (trunks, leaves, branches etc),
2. A mixture of acids and 3. A plentiful supply of water.
Nothing goes to waste; the water can be reused again
and again while the residue can be sold and used for
agricultural purposes. As mentioned, the system is inexpensive to run which makes
it financially viable even without subsidies.
ur celluloid ethanol can be mixed with fossil fuel (normal oil) in a special
tank to produce E85 and which can be sold directly to distributors/petrol
stations. Carbon dioxide emissions through the use of E85 are reduced up
to a massive 91%. Alternatively, we are able to combine the production of celluloid
ethanol with a specially converted electricity generator. In this scenario ethanol is
converted in an environmentally friendly manner to produce steam which in turn

or
IN PERSPECTIVE
Albeit promising, existing ethanol production techniques suffer from various problems. The
overwhelming majority of ethanol in the United States and European Union is derived from corn.
To satisfy the targets set by both the United States Federal Government and the European
Union, production must increase substantially on the already vast increase of the last years. This
will lead to even greater price increases on sensitive foodstuffs destined for human consumption.
While this is a major disadvantage in itself, the biggest disadvantage of corn is that for every unit
of fossil fuel energy required as input to produce ethanol, the output is only 1.3 units, a return of
only 30%* (National Geographic, October 2007) and a drop in carbon dioxide emissions of
22%** (substantial but not adequate). Corn-based ethanol can be harvested only once a year,
requires huge storage facilities for both the corn and the ethanol. The answer is the large-scale
production of celluloid ethanol, which exists neither in the United States nor Europe at present.
The only available celluloid ethanol technology is financially non-viable without subsidies or
grants. Thus, there is no production of clean, zero emissions electricity derived from ethanol.
*) By comparison: the Anagenesis Tree yields 1100-1200% more energy than the input
required.
**) By comparison: the Anagenesis Trifolia Tree based ethanol reduces CO2 emissions by
91-100%

powers the generator. Apart from the initial use of electricity to start the ethanol
distillery and generator (a single occurrence), the system is 100% self sustained since
we will be using part of the electricity produced to power the distillery and we will
be using celluloid ethanol to produce electricity. This is defined as a CLOSED
LOOP SYSTEM, which is 100% clean and generates 100% renewable energy with
zero emissions. The ultimate environmentally friendly power generation system, in
other words. Anagenesis Trees Corporation’s system of plantation management,
celluloid ethanol and clean electricity production is aimed at reducing environmental
damage and benefit the Earth while demonstrating that repairing the environment
can be profitable in more ways than one.
nagenesis Trees Corporation aspires to change the landscape with a forest
investment offering revenues as early as one year from planting, an annual
IRR ranging from 30% to over 150% depending on the location of the
forest, and the potential for dividends to investors as early as the second year from
planting. It is a forest investment that will be harvested all year round and produces
large quantities of celluloid ethanol, i.e. 11 to 12 times (1100% to 1200%) more
energy than the input required, drops carbon dioxide emissions by a staggering 91%
to 100% without detriment to the agricultural market and without affecting
sensitive food prices. Extremely important, also, is the fact that our unique,
exclusive breakthrough technology is financially viable even if the oil prices drop
below $40 a barrel without a single cent in subsidies.
hile the secondary income streams – ethanol, agroforestry, carbon
credits and renewable energy credits (RECs) – are compelling in their
own right, electricity is slated to be our main source of revenue.
Electricity will be bought by local Electricity Authorities (public or private) or
directly by the State, Country or neighbouring Countries depending on the project’s
location. Since we can produce celluloid ethanol at will we can adjust the generation
of electricity to peak hours and thereby achieve improved financial performance if
this is an objective of our local partner. Also, storage spaces are kept to a minimum
because harvesting occurs all year round. Unlike corn or other crops, the trees do
not go bad if they are not harvested – they simply continue to increase in size, which
in turn translates to more ethanol and more electricity. We need approximately
18,500,000 trees to be able to produce 100,000,000 American gallons of Ethanol on
an annual basis and power a 520MW generator (24/7) all year round, providing
electricity to –by average- a minimum of 960,000 middle-income South African
households (or a much higher number of low-income households).

-A Humanitarian Application of Cutting Edge, Sustainable Energy Production Technology-
Trees for Livelihood
Anagenesis Trees Corporation (ATC) is a new corporation using cutting edge technology to contribute innovatively – both directly and indirectly - to ongoing efforts to
curb the greenhouse effect. Its patent pending fast growing tree not only represents the ultimate “environmental filter”, it also re-grows from its own stump when cut. The
Anagenesis Tree’s extremely high cellulose content forms excellent feedstock for ATC’s other cutting edge innovation, an inexpensive technique to produce “Cellulose
Ethanol” with high octane levels for multiple applications. The short, medium and long term earning potential of this unmatched and exclusively patented method is
enormous, demonstrating that profit-oriented interests and environmental restoration are compatible and, in fact, logically symbiotic.
In addition to three European and eight scheduled US-based projects – all driven by normal commercial entrepreneurial principles and forming the sound basis of any
company - the members of ATC’s management also intend to realize their personal convictions by assisting in launching a new, humanitarian version of ATC’s corporate
formula, based on “Social Entrepreneurial Principles”. The main objective of said project is to benefit a substantial plantation workforce and their families and the circle of
those for whom they may care, with a special attention to the most vulnerable people of all, children!
