Esperanza Energy Evaluating Southern California Offshore LNG Receiving Terminal
Tuesday April 4, 6:00 am ET
Assembles Best-In-Class Team of Industry and Environmental Experts to Aid Design and Siting Evaluation Process
LONG BEACH, Calif., April 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Esperanza Energy LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TIDE - News), announced today that the company is evaluating the feasibility of developing an offshore, deep-water Southern California liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal. Although a specific site off the Southern California coast has not been determined at present, the company is focusing its evaluation on several potential sites up to 12 miles offshore of the greater Long Beach area.
"Our goal is to develop a LNG import terminal that can play an important role in meeting California's growing energy needs by providing competitively priced natural gas to supplement that which is currently transported into the state by long-distance pipelines," stated Esperanza Energy President, Michael Ward. Mr. Ward further stated, "Esperanza will only pursue this project if it can be sited, designed and operated in the safest, most environmentally responsible and economically viable manner possible. Our goal is not to just meet the environmental, public health and safety requirements, but to exceed them."
Esperanza Energy is initiating a project feasibility study with the assistance of best-in-class LNG, environmental, pipeline and legal experts that include:
* David Maul, former manager of the California Energy Commission's Natural
Gas Office;
* ENTRIX, Inc., a professional environmental consulting company
specializing in environmental permitting and compliance for major
offshore oil and gas projects in California and the United States
(www.entrix.com);
* Project Consulting Services, Inc., a leader in engineering,
construction, management and inspection of onshore and offshore
pipelines (www.projectconsulting.com);
* Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, LLP, an interdisciplinary law firm with
leading practices in environmental, land use and energy legal advice and
in project development and finance (www.pillsburylaw.com).
"As the former head of the California Energy Commission's Natural Gas Office, I'm intimately familiar with every LNG project on the West Coast," stated David Maul, President of Maul Energy Advisors. "I chose to work with Esperanza Energy because of the company's strong commitment to design and build a LNG project that is responsive to California's unique environmental and regulatory sensitivities."
"Our preliminary analysis suggests that a site offshore of the Long Beach area would offer considerable benefits to California residents with the greatest respect for environmental and safety issues," added Mr. Maul. "Before selecting a specific site for developmental consideration, we will confer with key local, regional and state stakeholders."

Veridium Receives Order to Increase Ethanol Production Efficiencies
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2006--Veridium Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDM) today announced its receipt of an order from a Wisconsin based ethanol producer for the second stage of Veridium's patent-pending Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM).
Veridium's proprietary new Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM) extract high grade corn oil from an ethanol by-product called distillers dried grain ("DDG").
One Kernel, Two Fuels
Currently, the majority of ethanol production is based on a dry milling technique that utilizes more than 1 billion bushels of corn to produce 3 billion gallons per year of ethanol. The dry mill process converts the starch from the kernel of corn into sugar and then the sugar into ethanol. The balance of the corn (non-starch components) then goes through a dewatering and dehydration process where the byproduct is sold as a commercial feed ingredient called DDG. DDG contains the majority of the corn oil that was present in the kernel. Today, the 1 billion bushels of corn currently used in the dry mill ethanol process contain roughly 300 million gallons of corn oil that is currently sold for about $0.03 per pound as commercial feed. The new Veridium technology presents another option - cost effective conversion of the oil in the ethanol by-product into biodiesel.
Veridium's technology has the capability of removing up to 75% of the corn oil from within the DDG in two stages. The first stage extracts 1.2 to 1.5 million gallons per year and corresponds to about 30% of the corn oil in the DDG for a 50 million gallon per year facility. Each of Veridium's previously announced orders for its Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM) are for deployments of the first stage.
The second stage of the Veridium technology recovers another 30% to 45% of the corn oil in the DDG, corresponding to another 1.2 to 2.2 million gallons of corn oil per year out of a 50 million gallon per year ethanol facility. The Wisconsin facility has ordered both stages and is expected to produce about 2.4 to 3.7 million gallons of corn oil per year when both stages are deployed later this year.
David Winsness, chief executive officer of Veridium's industrial design division, stated that "3 million gallons per year of high grade corn oil converts to 3 million gallons per year of biodiesel. This equates to a 6% increase in fuel production out of a 50 million gallon per year ethanol facility, and a significant increase in plant productivity out of the plant's existing infrastructure."
Veridium provides turn-key Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM) for no up-front cost in return for long-term corn oil purchase agreements based on a fixed discount to prevailing market prices.
Increased Demand for Ethanol
Kevin Kreisler, chairman and chief executive officer of GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF), Veridium's majority shareholder, said that "the Veridium technology is very timely. We expect that demand for ethanol is going to increase markedly in the immediate future as the fuel additive MTBE is phased out and replaced with ethanol. Our belief is that this is going to result in increased demand for technologies that enhance ethanol production efficiencies and Veridium holds the rights to a number of technologies that we believe achieve this."
MTBE, or methyl tertiary butyl ether, is blended with gasoline to enhance its oxygen content and it accounts for about 10 percent of the volume of every gallon of gasoline with which it is blended. This is equal to about 1.4 percent of the nationwide supply. Many gasoline marketers are planning to eliminate their use of MTBE once the oxygenate requirement lapses on May 5 due to the fact that the Energy Policy Act of 2005 didn't protect MTBE producers from past or future groundwater contamination lawsuits. Additionally, the new Renewable Fuel Standard holds refiners to a baseline use of renewable fuels such as ethanol of 4 billion gallons in 2006 and increasing to 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. The Energy Department estimates that 130,000 barrels per day of extra ethanol will be needed beginning May 5, an amount equal to almost 50 percent of current output.
Winsness concluded: "According to the Renewable Fuels Association, the ethanol industry has been planning for this transition for some time and producers have taken the necessary steps to respond to the increased demand. We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to provide our ethanol clients with additional options to meet the increased demand in cost-effective and rapid ways."
About Veridium's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM)
Veridium's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM) offers the following compelling benefits for ethanol producers:
-- Low Operating Costs - the system requires less than $0.05 per gallon of corn oil produced;
-- High Recovery Rates - the technology is capable of recovering up to 75% of the corn oil within the DDG;
-- Increased Revenue - the corn oil extracted with Veridium's technology is readily amenable to refining into biodiesel fuel which creates a new revenue stream for participating ethanol facilities;
-- Reduces Current Operating Costs and Emissions - Veridium's technology improves the drying efficiency of the DDG which in turn reduces overall plant operating costs and emissions; and,
-- Low Capital Cost - Veridium's oil extraction methods have a capital cost of less than 15% of traditional corn oil extraction methods.
Pictures and video of the new Veridium technology are available online at www.meangreenbiofuels.com - this system is the first stage of the technology and it is in use today recovering corn oil from concentrated thin stillage.
