GS CleanTech Executes Pact with Northeast Biofuels to Extract Corn Oil
Monday October 22, 2:03 pm ET
Northeast Biofuels' Volney, New York Ethanol Plant First Ethanol Facility in Northeastern U.S.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GS CleanTech Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSCT) today announced its execution of an agreement with Northeast Biofuels, LP (“NEB”) (www.permolex.com), to extract about 10 million gallons per year of crude corn oil from the distillers grain co-product from NEB’s new 114 million gallon per year dry mill ethanol plant scheduled to commence operations later this year.
NEB is building its ethanol facility on the site of a former brewery at the 420-acre Riverview Business Park in Volney, NY, about 25 miles north of Syracuse. When the plant opens, it will annually produce 114 million gallons of corn ethanol and become the first large scale operating ethanol plant in New York State and the Northeast.

NEB and its on-site project participants, BOC Gases, and now GS CleanTech, will directly and indirectly employ approximately 100 workers, with an estimated 1,500-plus “spin-off jobs” created in agriculture, transportation and other sectors of the Upstate New York economy. Because of its strategic Upstate New York location, NEB will have low cost access to markets representing more than 2.3 billion gallons of potential ethanol demand in the Northeast US and Eastern Canada.

GS CleanTech’s patent-pending Corn Oil Extraction Systems™ have been engineered to help ethanol producers increase cash flows through the introduction of a third and novel revenue stream – corn oil. GS CleanTech provides turn-key extraction systems to participating ethanol producers at no cost to the ethanol producers in return for the long-term right to purchase the extracted corn oil at a per pound premium to its value when trapped in the distiller’s grains. GS CleanTech’s extraction technology also reduces overall plant emissions and utility costs by upwards of $1 million per year for a 100 million gallon per year ethanol plant that dries 100% of its distiller’s grains.

David Winsness, GS CleanTech’s President and Chief Executive Officer said that “This is a very strategic project for us and we are thrilled to bring our technology to what is on target to be the first major bio-refinery in the Northeastern U.S. NEB’s leadership is proactive and they clearly recognize the need to use technology today to defray risk. The best way to do this is to implement “plug and play” technologies that enhance the yields and operating efficiencies of the traditional ethanol production process. Our corn oil extraction technology is the first of several technologies that meet that goal that we are bringing to market to meet that objective.”

GS CleanTech has commenced work on the NEB extraction systems and is targeting an early 2008 commissioning.

Doug MacKenzie, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Permolex International, L.P., added: “We completed extensive technical due diligence on GS CleanTech’s technology and we are convinced that it is a very reliable way to increase ethanol producer revenues. We are excited to work with GS CleanTech and look forward to being the first ethanol producers in the country to use their full extraction package.”

GS CleanTech’s affiliated fuel production company, GS AgriFuels Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSGF), previously announced its intention to finance, build and operate a 10 million gallon per year biodiesel facility adjacent to the NEB facility. This facility will be designed to convert corn oil into biodiesel, which GS AgriFuels intends to sell locally in New York. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) previously awarded a $250,000 grant to support the construction of this biodiesel production facility.

GS CleanTech and GS AgriFuels have partnered in the full scale commercialization of their technologies. GS CleanTech provides technology-centric services in return for process engineering and plant construction sales, ongoing technology royalties and selected feedstock sales. GS AgriFuels provides all of the capital for the construction of the extraction and biodiesel production facilities and generates revenues through its ownership of the biodiesel production assets.

Focus on Ethanol Production

GS CleanTech is focused on delivering technologies and process innovations to the ethanol production industry with a view towards maximizing the yield of corn-based ethanol production. GS CleanTech's currently available offerings in its ethanol program include its:

Corn oil extraction systems;
Small-scale modular biodiesel production systems; and,
Biomass gasification for combined heat and power solutions.
GS CleanTech is also developing new technologies, such as its carbon dioxide algal bioreactor technology, for application at ethanol facilities.

Traditional ethanol processing converts each bushel of corn, which weighs about 54 pounds, into about 18 pounds of ethanol, 18 pounds of carbon dioxide, and 18 pounds of distillers dried grains, which contain about 2 pounds of fat. This corresponds to about 2.8 gallons of fuel production per bushel of corn. GS CleanTech's ambition is to increase this efficiency as much as possible by converting as co-products such as DDG and carbon dioxide into additional renewable fuels.

GS AgriFuels Executes Agreement to Develop Biodiesel Plant
Tuesday January 16, 8:00 am ET
NextGen Biodiesel System to be Used by Fulton, New York-Based Biodiesel Company
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GS AgriFuels Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSGF - News) has executed an agreement with a subsidiary of Homeland Energy Biofuels, LLC ("Homeland Energy") to form GS Fulton Biodiesel LLC ("GS Fulton Biodiesel"). The partnership will construct a ten million gallon per year biodiesel plant - New York State's first commercial-scale facility - at the former Miller Brewing Company plant in Fulton, NY.

Homeland Energy, the lead developer in the project, has managed the feedstock, offtake and other technical and business aspects of the project over the past year and had selected NextGen Fuel Inc.'s proprietary biodiesel production equipment as the production technology for the project.

The biodiesel plant will be immediately adjacent to a 110-million gallon per year ethanol facility being constructed by Northeast Biofuels at the Riverview Business Park. GS Fulton Biodiesel plans to re-utilize a significant amount of existing brewery site infrastructure, including a building, roads, utilities and some of the existing storage tanks. John Fox of Homeland Energy stated, "Our partnership with GS AgriFuels to complete the first commercial-scale biodiesel plant in New York State is timely and beneficial. Besides backing the project with capital, GS AgriFuels' team's experience and knowledge of biofuels project development is indispensable."

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") awarded NextGen Fuel, Inc. a $250,000 contract in 2005 to design and build a biodiesel production facility in Fulton, NY (which is in Oswego County) using the patent-pending process intensification technology developed by NextGen. Fabrication of the NextGen biodiesel system has already begun by Warnecke Design, Inc., an equipment manufacturer that specializes in biofuels equipment and infrastructure support.

GS AgriFuels President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Scozzafava, stated, "We are pleased to have been able to partner with Homeland Energy and participate in this, our first majority-owned biofuels production facility. I'm proud to be involved with a project that will re-utilize an existing industrial facility to produce clean fuels that will benefit both the central New York economy and its environment, and we appreciate all of the support the project has received from NYSERDA, Senator Wright, Assemblyman Barclay, and Michael Treadwell of the Oswego County IDA. We hope to begin hiring shortly and commence biodiesel production by mid-2007." As part of the transaction, Mr. Scozzafava and Patrick Thornton will be placed on GS Fulton Biodiesel's board of managers.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel manufactured from domestic sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils. Typically blended with conventional diesel, biodiesel burns cleaner and releases significantly fewer pollutants than petroleum diesel.
