Green Star Algae Biodiesel Interest Expands Globally

Green Star Algae Biodiesel Interest Expands Globally

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.
