Green Star Algae Biodiesel Interest Expands Globally
(CSRwire) SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2007--Green Star Products, Inc. (OTC:
GSPI) (OTC: GSPI.PK), announced today that it has received serious
interest in producing biodiesel from algae globally.
Over the past few weeks, companies from over 20 countries on five
continents have expressed their interest in GSPI's biodiesel and
microalgae technology.
These countries include: South Africa, India, China, Brazil,
Australia, Canada, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica,
Sweden, Czech Republic, Zimbabwe, Spain, Italy, Nicaragua, Mexico, Russia,
Kazakhstan, etc.
Numerous inquiries have also been received across the U.S.A.
This surge in "microalgae-oil-to-biodiesel" interest is accredited to
two media events.
As of May 1, 2007, Continental Airlines has been showing a two-minute
documentary-type news video on all of its flights over three hours around
the world. The video is packed with cutting edge technological information
that has sparked worldwide interest.
Also aired during May 2007 was a 15-minute interview with Joseph
LaStella. This interview is not a promotional interview as it outlines the
time scope of the future of biodiesel production from algae.
Both media events explain the present and future status of biodiesel
as an alternative fuel, which is based on feedstock oils from food sources
such as corn oil and soy oil versus non-food microalgae oil.
These media reports also explain the mounting competition between
biodiesel feedstock oil crops versus food crops to utilize the same
existing farmland and fresh water resources. Whereas microalga
production does not compete with food crops because all it requires is
un-usable desert land, saltwater, CO2 and sunshine. This type of land is
in great abundance in the Southwestern United States and in many foreign
countries.
The worldwide response to these two media events has been very good
and GSPI has signed NDAs with several of these prospects.
Some of the inquiries come from utility companies who are interested
in providing their CO2 stack emissions to feed microalgae, and thus reduce
global warming gases.
Algae consume (eat) CO2 and emit only oxygen to the atmosphere.
Therefore, algae reduce global warming gases while producing feedstock
oils for fuel and other uses.
Algae can produce 50 to 100 times more oil per acre than food oils
crops.
GSPI urges everyone who is interested in Global Warming and the Peak
Oil Crisis to view the two-minute video (http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?)
