Cost Analysis

● Thermal Process at ambient pressure and 370 - 420 (Degrees Celsius)

● NSR Fuel Energy input = 15-20 kWh US$ 1.65 - 2.20 (excluding overhead)

● Energy output = 60 - 65 kWh US$ 6.60 – 7.15

● 2.90-3.00 Kg of Plastics = 3.8 liters = 1 gallon in Lab Scale (Commercial scale would be less than US$ 0.70 per gallon)

Present Price:

● Gasoline = US$ 2.50-3.00 per gallon, Energy output: 35-40 kWh

● Diesel: US$ 3.00-3.50 per gallon

● Aviation Fuel: US$ 6.00 - 8.00 per gallon


Waste Plastics in USA

● 30 M Metric Tons of Waste Plastics is produced per year (Source: www.bostonpost.com)

● 1 Metric Ton = 8-9 Barrels of NSR Fuel

● 1 Barrel = 42 gallons in USA

● 30 Million x 9 barrels = 270 Million of barrels of NSR fuel

● 270 Million x 42 gallon = 11,3400 M = 11.3 Billion gallons of NSR fuel

● NSR Fuel will reduce 3-6 % of USA foreign oil dependency.

● 30 M Metric Ton of Plastic = 163 Million barrels of Crude Oil needed to produce

NSR Finance

Already Spent 7 M US$ from 2003-2008 (Private Source)

Required Fund 7-8 M US$ for on going R & D and set up a Proto-type Plant including Securing International Patent (use the fund for 2 yrs)

Pay Back: In 2 yrs by Selling Products or Licensing / Franchise the Technology in USA and Around the World

NSR first Franchise Technology deal with Californian Company for 5 M US$

(Deal already signed on 13th August 2009)

California Produced 3.8 M tons of Waste Plastics in each Year


USA and International Market Values of NSR Technology

1. 50 States in USA (if NSR Franchise the technology in each state US$ 5 M), 50 x 5 = 250 M and as well as royalty

2. 10 Provinces in Canada (if NSR Franchise the technology in each province US$ 3 M), 10 x 3 = 30 M and as well as royalty

3. 168 Counties in the World (if NSR Franchise the technology in each country US$ 3 M), 168 x 3 = 504 M US$ and as well as royalty

4. Cost of Pilot or Proto-type Plant = 1.00-2.00 M US$ (35 - 45 gallons per day including manpower)

5. Cost of Commercialization Plant Set up = 2.00 – 20.00 Million US$ (depend on waste plastics out sources or feeding)


Waste Plastics (Shopping Bag) to Fuel(Save Shopping Bag Industries)

1(One) Plastic Bag = 10 ml of NSR Fuel

100 Plastics Bags = 1000 ml of NSR Fuel

Using this fuel, one car can drive 7-10 miles or produce 13-15 kwh electricity

The electricity produced can light 130 -150 bulbs for 1 hour (1 light = 100 watts)


Specification for test vehicle:

1984 Oldsmobile (V-8, 5.0 liters powered engine) and 4 doors Sedan

Experimental Conditions

Driver: Eugene Sheveron (180 lbs)Along with 3 other Researchers (Weight = 550 lbs)5 Gallon Fuel Container (35 lbs) Spare Tire (50 lbs) Total Load : 815 lbs

Mileage Obtained from 1 Gallon of Fuel:

NSR 1st Collection = 18 Miles Gasoline (87) = 15 Miles

The test has been done in the city route

Creating Jobs in USA

In USA (Source: US Census Bureau)

● 25,000 Town / Municipalities

● 1200 Cities (Population of more than 100,000)

● 50 States

► If each of the 1200 cities creates 50 jobs, 60,000 jobs will be created in the USA alone
