The company's potential and vision is portrayed below, representing the many directions the technology can be taken in the future. Tire processing is first, having been proven, tested, matured, and with a 50% by weight of chemical solvent creation - all positive economics for a profitable business.
The "economic determinant" here is based on seeking target waste streams yielding largest amount of chemical by weight of processed material. Tires are very high and profitable now; coal, shale, tar sands, and municipal waste may be next.

Energy innovation is becoming defined by waste to energy conversion, and extended energy extraction from existing natural and organic resource streams. Natural Resource Recovery is taking the lead. Some early testing has been performed on many applications, such as tar sands, municipal waste, and oil shale. But, these have not been fully developed, require more R&D, and likely represent the basis for completely separate businesses and innovative market opportunities.
Natural Resource Recovery is targeting Research and Development opportunities to further the "Carbonator" technology's application and commercialization to high value potential areas.
