NuEarth Corporation (Pink Sheets: NUEC) (“NuEarth”), a
manufacturer and marketer of "Clean & Green" products and
technology, today announced that the company’s Laboratory and
Research Division “TerraSolv SA” has complied with a request to
released a white paper on the use of the company’s NuSoil and
AquaSolv Technology to the United Nations; Chinese Academy of
Geological Science and the China University of Geoscience. The
paper focuses on the use of NuSoil and AquaSolv products in
reducing the effects of Dust and Desertification on a Local and
Global market using these technologies. The market exposure for
these types of product usage is estimated in excess of $230 Billion
USD over the next 10 years, according to the United Nations
Institute for Natural Resources.
“In the early Spring of each year, large dust storms sweep
across Central Asia, bringing millions of tons of dust and sand
from the Gobi desert and depositing this in China, Korean and
Japan. A Global effect of climate change known as desertification
is advancing the Gobi and currently threatens more than 400 million
people in several Chinese provinces. The financial toll to the
Chinese economy is estimated at over $6.5 billion per year and
growing,” stated Dr. Yoseph Bar-Cohen – Head Research Fellow,
TerraSolv SA.
But desertification is not limited to China and it is fast
becoming a major global problem in Africa and South America as
well. In Africa, demand for water has shrunk several major Lakes by
95 percent since the 1980s, leaving only sand and scrub brush. In
Kazakhstan, desertification is responsible for nearly 50 percent of
the Country’s cropland being abandoned since 1980. The Sahara is
advancing at the rate in excess of 3,510 square kilometers per year
into Ghana and Nigeria. Rapid population growth has put enormous
pressure on agricultural systems that have been pushed beyond
sustainable farming practices in order to handle the demands. As a
result, a huge amount of marginal land has been converted to
pasture or farmland, overgrazed or over farmed, and now rural
populations are forced to watch their topsoil blow away.
According to the United Nations Institute for Natural Resources
in Africa, by 2025 Africa may only be able to feed 25 percent of
its population, and many countries in the Mediterranean basin could
face a future of significant food and water shortages as climate
change increases and desertification advances. Across the world,
continued climate change will increase problems where poor land use
and population pressure is already putting a strain on fragile
eco-systems.
NuSoil and AquaSolv are non-polluting organic fertilizer and
soil treatment technologies that are having an extraordinary effect
on the development and reclamation of marginal to poor quality
soils. This paper identifies NuSoil and AquaSolv technologies for
soil reclamation that could contribute to successfully slowing the
advancement of desertification. Proposed for use in the scheduled
launch of the Chinese governments “Gobi Forest Belt” projects.
NuSoil and AquaSolv would help stabilize soil conditions and help
create a proposed forest belt stretching 2,800 miles (4,500
kilometers) to block the advancing sands of the Gobi desert and
diminish the effect of the sandstorms. The collective “Gobi Forest
Belt” projects are estimated at $5.1 Billion with NuSoil and
AquaSolv usage representing less than 2.36% of the overall costs of
the proposed projects.
The African Union is seeking support and funding for a similar
"Green Wall" to hold back the Sahara in Algeria. Officials hope
that the inauguration of the 250,000 hectare Taghit National Park
will slow the advance of the sands and promote the redevelopment of
marginal soils into productive and sustainable eco-systems. The
paper presents evidence that by using NuSoil and AquaSolv
technologies in the soil reclamation process, an average carbon
sequestration value of approximately 300 tonnes per hectare, and a
CO2 sequestration value of approximately 1100 tonnes per hectare
can be produced. This represents approximately a $1,500 per hectare
carbon credit benefit to the project development Countries. The
cost of using NuSoil and AquaSolv Technology is estimated at less
than $350-400 USD per hectare, giving the Project Development
Countries a net $1,100 USD carbon credit benefit per hectare.
