DALLAS, Feb. 26, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Biofuels, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:EBOF) (the "Company") today announced that former U.S. Department of
Agriculture Acting Under Secretary of Rural Development, Mr. Douglas L.
Faulkner, has joined the Company's Advisory Board.

Douglas L. Faulkner has served five United States Presidents, from Jimmy Carter
to George W. Bush. In his nearly thirty year Executive Branch career, Mr.
Faulkner held an array of posts, from the Central Intelligence Agency to the
Departments of Energy and Agriculture and on issues from foreign policy to trade
to technology and economic development. His first job in Washington, D.C., was
as an aide to the late Edward Madigan, a former Illinois Congressman and
Secretary of Agriculture. He later was a senior policy adviser to two
Secretaries of Energy.

Mr. Faulkner is co-Founder and President of Chrysalis Energy Partners
("Chrysalis") which is based in Washington, D.C. Earth Biofuels will utilize
Chrysalis, and the experience of Mr. Faulkner, to help develop the Company's
tactics and strategy, assist with working relationships with the various federal
agencies, chiefly the Departments of Agriculture and Energy as well as the
Environmental Protection Agency, and assist with effectively seeking funding and
regulatory/policy assistance.

Mr. Faulkner served the Bush Administration from 2001-08 in a number of
high-level positions at both the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy,
including Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development and the Acting Assistant
Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Mr. Faulkner has been at the center of the federal government's efforts to
expand global markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency. While at USDA,
he played a key role in the passage and implementation of the landmark energy
title in the 2008 Farm Bill, which contained significant new funding and
legislative authorities for the Department. He played a key leadership role in
the Global BioEnergy Partnership and the U.S.-Brazil biofuels initiative. Mr.
Faulkner also oversaw other significant rural programs, including business and
cooperative development, housing and broadband.

Mr. Faulkner and his counterpart at the U.S. Department of Energy, Mr. John
Mizroch, steered the development of the 2008 "National Biofuels Action Plan".
This plan was created to accelerate the development of a sustainable biofuels
industry in the United States, and focused on sustainability, feedstock
production, feedstock logistics, conversion science and technology, distribution
infrastructure, blending, and environment-health-safety.

At the Department of Energy, Mr. Faulkner proposed a bold and responsible budget
for fiscal year 2007, launching seminal initiatives in bioenergy and solar
power. He oversaw an annual budget of over a billion dollars for green energy
research and development. Under his direction, management reforms replaced an
outdated organization with a smaller, more streamlined workforce, saving
millions of dollars and increasing productivity.
