Rafael Ben

Chariman & CEO

World Power Production Energy Corporation (WPP), which owns and controls several important advanced energy technology patents, is led by President Mr. Rafael Ben with 30+ years experience in the sector and is an established guest speaker and lecturer at international Green Energy Summits.

Mr. Ben heads a team leadership engineers and experts in the waste to energy power generation with the latest modern technologies, well recognized on a global scale, having an extensive technical and business experience conducting business ventures across the globe.

In 1972 WPP President, Mr. Rafael Ben became concerned about the energy and fuel futures of the U.S. and began working on researching alternate fuel technology. He was the first person to use alcohol blends during this period and when he wrote “Methanol – A Clean Fuel for the 21st century”.

In 1986 WPP President, Mr. Ben worked various aspects of developmental technology for biomass and gasification.

In 1990 WPP President Mr. Ben, traveled to India for FAO in 1990 and evaluated conversion of agricultural wastes to fuels. In 1992 Mr. Ben traveled to China for the Rockefeller Foundation to evaluate two new gasifiers built there.

In 1996 WPP President Mr. Ben, travelled around the world, visiting various gasification sites, gathering information for the book “Survey of Biomass Gasification”.

In 1997 WPP President Mr. Ben, and his engineering team started the first prototype of a 1 Mega Watt per hour Biomass Plant in Chandpur near New Delhi the testing of the smallest unit that produces a 24MW power generation per day that could power a small village with great success.

In 1998 WPP President Mr. Ben’s team in conjunction with partner CPG, deployed the first power plant in a remote village in Ghana, West Africa, which was installed successfully and commissioned using Biomass. A new power source to 24,000 homes, avoiding the cost of underground cables with great success.

In 1999 WPP President Mr. Ben started the first testing device that converts water into Hydrogen via a small unit with Mr. Ben’s proprietary science developed in Belarus. The first model to extract water into Hydrogen and Oxygen with membrane electrodes by electrical pulse in a small chamber that generates fire at 2500 degree to heat boilers in a small scale, with the vision to convert large thermal power plants to reduce operating costs by 75% while increasing efficiency by 35% while running the entire power station at zero pollution, removing the chimney while saving huge amounts on oil and gas costs.

Since 2000 WPP President Mr. Ben and his team of engineers conducted ongoing research and development, partnering with world leaders in power generation sectors focussing on the world’s most advanced technology to reach the highest possible capacity of power production, and at the same time to reducing the cost of operations with the vision to run only clean energy sources to address the global warming issue and to bring to power producers around the world a viable solution to produce power in an environmentally friendly way, resulting in clean air for the benefit of generations to come.

In 2004 WPP President Mr. Ben became one of the world’s VIP speakers in green summits, speaking about the need to convert and upgrade power generation throughout the world to advance the use of new technologies as an alternative to the oil and gas sectors starting at Sydney Australia, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Macedonia, Crete, Greece, Saint Petersburg, and others.

From 2006-2008 WPP President Mr. Ben had power plants in Managua, Nicaragua for upgrading into Biomass plants. The conversion was to adopt new advanced Pyrolysis, combining Plasma Gasification with the Pyrolysis using tires and biomass combination to increase the amount of BTU’s converting the plants to run on a clean energy, with much higher profits on the sale of the Carbon Black, and Stainless Steel by products using the Kremsmuler exhaust system that eliminate the gases and fumes used as a second cycle, increasing power production by 18%.

2009 World Power Production Energy Corporation was formally formed (WPP Energy) to solve Municipal Solid Waste problems around the world using the advanced zero pollution technology, converting waste into power.
