PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/09/07 -- PetroSun, Incorporated (PINKSHEETS: PSUD)
announced today that the Board of Directors of Algae BioFuels, a wholly
owned subsidiary of PetroSun, have issued the exclusive algae to biofuel
production technology license to PetroSun BioFuels for the Australasian
market. PetroSun BioFuels is a wholly owned subsidiary of PetroSun and was
formed to cultivate algae and refine the algal oil into biodiesel for
distribution under the PetroSun brand throughout Australasia.
PetroSun BioFuels has commenced the search for an appropriate location to
establish the initial Australia-based production plant that will cultivate
algae in open and closed systems. The facility will include a biofuel
refinery designed to produce up to 20 million gallons of biodiesel per
year. The production and refining capacity will be increased based on
market demand for biodiesel within the licensed territory. The current U.S.
wholesale price of biodiesel exceeds $2.00 per gallon.
Independent studies have demonstrated that algae are capable of producing
oil yields in excess of 55,000 kilograms per hectare annually. The oil
yield per hectare annually from conventional crops such as palm oil
(5,000), peanuts (890), rapeseed and sunflower (675), soybean (450) and
corn oil and cottonseed (225) are far less than algae. As the worldwide
cost of diesel has increased dramatically the past few years as a result of
higher crude oil prices and refining cost increases, biodiesel produced
from algae offers an alternative that is not subject to commodity risks as
is crude oil, corn and soybeans and is capable of supplying a sustainable
feedstock.
The Company will also be producing high protein animal feed from the algae
biomass, ethanol and potential excess electricity as additional revenue
streams from plant operations. The production process will also have a
beneficial affect to the environment as algae consume carbon dioxide in the
presence of sunlight. The source of the carbon dioxide can come from power
plant emissions that would create CO2 credits.
PetroSun BioFuels will establish offices in Brisbane and Perth for sales
and marketing.
