De Beers Fuel Limited Increases Orders for Green Star Biodiesel Reactors

Submitted by Green Star Products, Inc

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2007--Green Star Products,
Inc. (GSPI) today announced that De Beers Fuel Limited (DBFL) of South Africa increased their orders for Green Star Reactors (see press release dated Nov. 13, 2006) to include GSPI Process Control Modules (PCM).

The value of the contract orders totals $10.8-million. The delivery schedule of the Reactor and PCM's will be over the next 18-months.

GSPI and DBFL signed a contract in November 2006 to build 90-Reactors for South African franchisees. The first Reactor was built and air freighted to South Africa in November 2006. De Beers engineered the GSPI Reactor into their existing biodiesel plant in December 2006. After installation, DBFL began a series of process test runs in early 2007.
Mr. Frik de Beer, President of DBFL, who visited the U.S. last week stated, "The GSPI Reactor has operated wonderfully and exceeds its design production capacity of 10-million gallons per year."

During his visit, Mr. de Beer and guest toured the GSPI Showcase Facility (see press release dated Feb. 5, 2007) located in Chula Vista, California, which also included GSPI's Process Control Module (PCM) (see pictures on GSPI's Website:www.GreenStarUSA.com).

Based on Mr. de Beer's tour and explanation of the qualities of the "Combo" Reactor/PCM by President Joseph P. LaStella, P.E., he expanded the existing reactor order to include 90-PCM Combo Units, which increases the value of the contract to $10.8-million. In addition, each Combo Unit will generate a monthly royalty to GSPI for the life of the Unit, estimated at 10-years.

GSPI does not directly sell any of its proprietary technology, biodiesel processing plants or equipment technology. This is to ensure the security of its trade secrets and intellectual properties.

DBFL's franchise business strategy further ensures the protection of GSPI's intellectual property.

In order to save shipping costs to South Africa, GSPI designed their Reactors and PCM Units to be stacked one upon the other so that four complete Reactor-PCM Units can be shipped in one 40-foot container.

The next four Reactor-PCM Combo Units are presently being fabricated at GSPI's Glenns Ferry facility in Idaho.
