Chinook Sciences, LLC
Chinook Sciences was formed in 1998 as a research group supporting the nuclear, metal and industrial gasses industries. Soon thereafter the Company shifted its focus to become a technology and equipment provider to the metal, industrial gasses and environmental industries, generating revenue through capital equipment sales. In 2005 Chinook changed its business model to become a project sponsor and plant operator. Metal Reclamation was the original industry served by the Rodecs technology. The first Rodecs Industrial system became operational in the Year 2000 in a secondary Metal recycling Foundry. Uniquely, the Rodecs system has been identified by the industry as the world`s only system that is truly Universal in decoating (remove organic components) and drying any type of Metal scrap (irrelevant of shape or alloy type) from any type of organic material (irrelevant of coating weight or material).

Mission Statement
Chinook Energy is dedicated to developing and implementing solutions to address the world's need for clean, sustainable energy.
To do this Chinook Energy rely on five basic principles:
Leverage proprietary technology - we will build off of Chinook Sciences' leadership position, patented 'disruptive' technology and unparalleled ten-year proven industrial operating history in gasification and waste management.
Focus on profitability - for a renewable energy project to be viable in the long term and to attract the necessary capital, it needs to be profitable. Chinook's unique technology enables us to achieve profitability where others have failed.
Continue to innovate - we will continue to develop and evolve our technologies to improve upon what we already do well and to address new challenges. We tend to be attracted to business challenges that others avoid by coming at the problem from a new direction and developing a capability that others do not have.
Cultivate partnerships - particularly in a new and strategically essential area such as renewable energy, it will be necessary to engage a wide range of partners across the public and private sectors and to work with those partners in an open and transparent way. We will only succeed in achieving our goals if our partners succeed in achieving their goals.
Adhere to a strict code of corporate responsibility - to succeed we need to treat our partners, customers, employees and the environment with integrity, openness and a sense of shared mutual interests.
