Energy: we own the worldwide patents and exclusive rights to a state-of-the-art chemical additive and its total of 11 formula variants; each additive improves the combustion process that takes place in boilers – ranging from large-scale industrial boilers to small-scale household boilers – burning fuel – including oil, coal, gas, and biomass – across applications – such as power plants, steel refineries, cement manufacturers, pulverized coal injectors, oil and gas turbines, diesel generators, and oil production facilities – making up a growing addressable market of more than $8 billion per year with significant barriers to entry. It is our current mission to re-capitalize, re- brand, and re-focus our technology with a qualified strategic partner to effectively and efficiently capture the untapped market potential of the additives. Our additive business is cash flow positive and generates an annual additive sales volume of roughly $1.5 million with a sales mix of approximately 70% in South Korea and 30% out of South Korea.

Note: KR Green Technology is not a development stage entity — in 2010 they achieved profitability from their principal business. As such they did not meet ABS application criteria.
