Former U.S. Central Intelligence Official, Herbert E. Meyer, Appointed to Earth Biofuels, Inc. Board of Directors
15 June, 2006

DALLAS--Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB:EBOF) today announced that former Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence during the Reagan administration, Herbert E. Meyer, has been appointed to the Company\'s Board of Directors.
"We have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. Meyer\'s many years of service to his country," said Earth Biofuels Chairman and CEO Dennis McLaughlin. "And to the degree that United States energy policy becomes an issue of national security, we could not be more pleased to have someone with Mr. Meyer\'s experience and expertise serving on the Board."

"It is with a great sense of purpose that I accept this seat on the Earth Biofuels Board of Directors," stated Mr. Meyer. "I am of the opinion that agriculture-based fuels, such as biodiesel and ethanol, hold tremendous promise for reducing America\'s dependence on foreign oil, specifically from those regions which are unfriendly and/or hostile to U.S. interests at home and abroad."

Herbert E. Meyer is founder of Real-World Intelligence Inc., a company that designed intelligence systems for corporations throughout the world. He is also President of Storm King Press, a publishing company whose books and DVDs are sold worldwide.

In addition, Mr. Meyer is host and producer of The Siege of Western Civilization, a DVD outlining the threats to our security, our economy, and our culture.

During the Reagan Administration, Mr. Meyer served as Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and Vice Chairman of the CIA\'s National Intelligence Council. In these positions, he managed production of the U.S. National Intelligence Estimates and other top-secret projections for the President and his national security advisers. Mr. Meyer is widely credited with being the first senior U.S. Government official to forecast the collapse of the Soviet Union -- a forecast for which he later was awarded the U.S. National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, the Intelligence Community\'s highest honor.

Formerly an associate editor of Fortune, he has authored several books including The War Against Progress, Real-World Intelligence, and Hard Thinking. Mr. Meyer and his wife, Jill, are co-authors of How to Write, which is among the world\'s most widely used writing handbooks.

Mr. Meyer\'s essays on intelligence and politics have been published in The Wall Street Journal, National Review Online, Policy Review, and The American Thinker.

ABN Amro: Bioethanol – Treibstoff der Zukunft

18.07.2006 - Disclaimer: Der nachfolgende Text ist eine Kolumne der ABN Amro Bank. Der Inhalt der Kolumne wird von 4investors nicht verantwortet und muss daher nicht zwingend mit der Meinung der 4investors-Redaktion übereinstimmen. Jegliche Haftung und Ansprüche werden daher von 4investors ausdrücklich ausgeschlossen!


Der eskalierende Konflikt im Nahen Osten hat den Ölpreis auf neue Rekordhochs getrieben. Dadurch wird die Abhängigkeit der westlichen Industrienationen von den Ölimporten einmal mehr offenkundig. Dazu kommt, dass der Energiebedarf der Welt stetig zunimmt und diese zusätzliche Nachfrage auf ein begrenztes Angebot an Erdöl trifft. Nach Projektionen der Deutschen Bank werden alleine die Ölimporte Chinas bis zum Jahr 2020 um 20 Prozent pro Jahr zunehmen. Der Preis für Erdöl dürfte folglich auch in den nächsten Jahren tendenziell weiter steigen.

Es wird zwar schon lange nach Möglichkeiten gesucht, das Erdöl als Treibstoff zumindest teilweise zu ersetzen, aber durch den Ölpreisanstieg der letzten Jahre wurden diese Anstrengungen noch intensiviert. Ethanol ist ein solcher Ersatzbrennstoff. Die auch Ethylalkohol genannte Flüssigkeit kann als alleiniger Motorentreibstoff oder auch als Zusatz zum Benzin verwendet werden. In beiden Fällen wird dadurch der Benzinverbrauch gesenkt. Ethanol kann chemisch oder biologisch hergestellt werden. Wenn es aus regenerativer Biomasse hergestellt wird, spricht man von Bioethanol. Als Rohmaterial dienen Agrarrohstoffe, die einen hohen Zuckergehalt aufweisen, wie Zuckerrohr und Zuckerrüben. Auch können Pflanzen, die Stärke enthalten, die in Zucker umgewandelt werden kann, wie Mais, Getreide oder andere Biomasse verwendet werden.

In Deutschland fristete das Thema Bioethanol bislang eher ein Schattendasein, in Brasilien und den USA dagegen kommt Ethanol bereits seit langem in großem Umfang zum Einsatz. Beide Länder besitzen mit jeweils etwa 35 Prozent den Löwenanteil an der Ethanolproduktion. In Brasilien werden bereits 50 Prozent der Zuckerrohrernte zur Produktion von Ethanol verwendet, in den USA immerhin etwa ein Achtel der Maisernte. Deutschland hatte 2005 nur einen Anteil von 0,9 Prozent an der Weltproduktion, liegt damit inzwischen aber auf Rang sieben und ist dabei weiter aufzuholen. Brasilien, das bereits heute 30 Prozent seiner Kraftstoffnachfrage durch Ethanol bedient, wird aber auf lange Zeit unerreicht bleiben.

Dennoch: Das Wachstum ist enorm. Experten gehen davon aus, dass der Markt in den nächsten fünf Jahren um 20 Prozent pro Jahr wächst. Dafür sind nicht zuletzt die USA und die EU verantwortlich, die die gesetzliche Förderung des Ersatzbrennstoffs deutlich intensiviert haben. Das Motiv ist dabei nicht nur, die Abhängigkeit vom Öl zu verringern, auch der Umweltschutz spielt eine Rolle. Durch den Einsatz von Ethanol werden schädliche Emissionen verringert und Ethanol verschmutzt auch das Grundwasser nicht. Die Europäische Kommission hat als Ziel ausgegeben, dass bis 2010 5,75 Prozent des Benzinbedarfs im Transportwesen durch Ethanol gedeckt werden sollen. Das dürfte machbar sein, denn bereits heute kann jeder Benzinmotor mit einer Beimischung von zehn Prozent Ethanol betrieben werden. Der Engpass ist daher gegenwärtig die Produktion ausreichender Mengen von Bioethanol.

Ethanol besitzt allerdings auch Nachteile: So liefert es pro Liter weniger Energie als Benzin. Ein Auto mit Ethanolmotor verbraucht doppelt soviel Treibstoff wie ein Auto mit Benzinmotor. Die Herstellungskosten variieren zudem je nach dem Ausgangsprodukt. So kostet eine Gallone (3,87 Liter) Ethanol, die aus Zuckerrohr hergestellt wird, etwa 1,00 USD. Eine Gallone Ethanol aus Mais kostet dagegen 1,40 USD in der Herstellung. Bei einem Ölpreis über 50 USD je Barrel kann Ethanol allerdings durchaus mit Erdöl konkurrieren.

Die Rohmaterialien machen 60 bis 70 Prozent der Herstellungskosten von Bioethanol aus. Doch auch für die dürfte der Preis steigen, wenn die Nachfrage zunimmt. Schließlich ist die Anbaufläche für die notwendigen Agrarrohstoffe begrenzt und kann nicht beliebig ausgeweitet werden. Es gibt natürliche Grenzen. Mit dem Biofuel Total Return Index Zertifikat lässt sich von einem solchen Preisanstieg profitieren. Das Zertifikat bildet den ABN AMRO Biofuel Total Return Index ab. Ebenso bietet ABN ein Bonuszertifikat auf Archer-Daniels, einen Verarbeiter landwirtschaftlicher Produkte, an. Steigt der Preis des schwarzen Goldes, fördert dies die Verwendung von Treibstoffalternativen wie Ethanol.

Aufgrund der dem Einsatz von Bioethanol gesetzten natürlichen Grenzen wird sich das Wachstum ab dem Jahr 2012 abschwächen. Davon gehen zumindest die Analysten des Bankhauses Julius Bär aus. Bis dahin ist aber mit einem Marktwachstum von 20 Prozent jährlich zu rechnen.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase 9,051,725 shares of common stock at $2.90 per share that expire in July 2011.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the sale for the repayment of its 8 percent senior convertible notes that were previously issued, for its program of building and acquiring interests in biodiesel and ethanol production facilities, and for other general corporate purposes.

The announcement of this placement of senior convertible notes as detailed in this press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. The senior convertible notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws.

09 August, 2006

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF.OB) today announces the availability of BioWillie, Willie Nelson’s brand of biodiesel, at its first Tennessee location at the Mid-Tenn Auto & Truck Plaza in Cookeville. Cookeville, Tenn. is located halfway between Nashville and Knoxville on Highway 70, off Interstate-40.
Because of its location on the heavily-traveled Interstate-40 route between Nashville and Knoxville, Cookeville is the ideal location for Earth Biofuels’ first Tennessee BioWillie location. Mid-Tenn Auto & Truck Plaza offers truckers 24-hour service, a convenience store, showers, a restaurant, lounge, boot and shoe outlet, U.S. Postal drop box, UPS service, tire repair and truck wash and repair.

Mid-Tenn Auto & Truck Plaza is affiliated with the National American Truck Stop Network (NATSN), and Ron Craig, a managing partner in Mid-Tenn Auto & Truck Plaza, is also the current network president. NATSN is the oldest nationwide network of independently owned truck stops, providing truckers with discounts and other incentives.

“There’s been a demand for BioWillie from truckers traveling through Tennessee along I-40, so we couldn’t pass on the opportunity to provide our customers with BioWillie,” said Craig. “Our partnership with Earth Biofuels allows us to easily meet that demand.”

By partnering with Earth Biofuels, Mid-Tenn Auto & Truck Plaza is the first location to offer BioWillie to truckers traveling through Tenn. BioWillie is a premium B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) biodiesel fuel made from vegetable seeds, such as soybeans.

“Truckers who drive between Nashville and Knoxville now will have easy access to biodiesel,” said Willie Nelson. “By using biodiesel, we can reduce dependency on foreign oil and adopt an energy source that’s clean, renewable and helps domestic farmers find new uses for their products.”

Earth Biofuels Now Providing BioWillie Near San Antonio
09 August, 2006

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF.OB) today announces the availability of Earth Biofuels BioWillie, Willie Nelson’s brand of biodiesel, at the reopening of the historic Circle G Truck Stop in Gonzales, Texas.
The Circle G Truck Stop, owned by Dr. Charles Graham, offers BioWillie biodiesel at the intersection of US Highway 183 and State Highway 97, just south of Interstate 10 and east of San Antonio.

Circle G was built in the 1920’s as a residence and store, and then later was converted to a gas station to take advantage of the well-traveled route. Dr. Graham rebuilt the truck stop to better serve the growing community of Gonzales and the passing truckers and visitors.

BioWillie is a premium diesel fuel made from vegetable seeds, such as soybeans. Circle G Truck Stop is the first to meet the demand for biodiesel for truckers passing through Gonzales on their way to Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Corpus Christi.

“We realized the opportunity to partner with Earth Biofuels to revitalize Circle G as a truck stop offering BioWillie,” said Cody Fry, general manager of Circle G Truck Stop. “At the same time we’re able to use the resources of local farmers to help meet the fuel needs of long-haul truckers traveling along I-10.”

Circle G Truck Stop offers a B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel) blend at all three of its truck-accessible pumps. Circle G estimates that they will initially sell 50,000 gallons of BioWillie each month. A grand reopening celebration is planned for August.

Willie Nelson developed the BioWillie brand in June 2005. “Being a Texas native and growing up in central Texas, I am very proud that Circle G is partnering with Earth Biofuels to carry BioWillie,” said Willie Nelson. “I know that many of the truckers who pass through that area will be glad to have biodiesel available. Through biodiesel, we can reduce dependency on foreign oil and adopt an energy source that’s clean, renewable and helps family farmers find new uses for their products.”

"Biokraftstoffe wie Ethanol können zum

Treibstoff des 21. Jahrhunderts

werden! Das prognostiziert niemand Geringeres als die niederländische Investmentbank ABN Amro.



Der Grund: Dauerhaft hohe Ölpreise zwingen alle Länder, alternative Energieträger zu erschließen. Als Benzinzusatz soll Ethanol helfen, den weltgrößten Benzinkonsumenten Amerika auf dem Weg zu einer unabhängigen Energieversorgung voranzubringen und sogar Treibhausgasemissionen zu reduzieren. Der Energy Policy Act der USA aus dem Jahr 2005 legt einen Zeitrahmen fest, der in den Jahren von 2006 bis 2012 eine erhöhte Ethanolabnahme durch Raffinerien um 700 Millionen Gallonen pro Jahr vorschreibt, wonach der Verbrauch 7,5 Milliarden Gallonen pro Jahr erreicht haben wird. Der weltgrößte Zuckerproduzent Brasilien deckt schon heute 30 Prozent seines Treibstoffbeda! rfs durch Ethanol. Rund um den Globus wurden 2005 rund 9,6 Millionen Gallonen Ethanol produziert. Die Agrarexperten von F.O. Licht rechnen bis 2010 mit einem Anstieg auf 15,9 Gallonen. Das zweite große Thema in diesem Zusammenhang ist Biodiesel, das vor allem aus Soja-, Raps- und Palmöl gewonnen wird."

05 September, 2006

DALLAS, TEXAS - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF) announced that, on August 31, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Earth Ethanol, Inc., executed a Contribution and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Earth Ethanol, Inc., HPS Development, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“HPS”), and South Louisiana Ethanol, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“SLE”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire a 50 percent membership interest in SLE, which owns a former ethanol production facility in Plaquemines Parish, located approximately nine miles southeast of New Orleans on the Mississippi River and within the Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone).
“Following scheduled reconstruction, we believe that this state-of-the-art facility will be capable of producing significant quantities of corn-based ethanol that can be directly blended with gasoline and thereby extend our nation’s fuel supply with a resource that is cleaner-burning, renewable, and domestically produced,” said Dennis McLaughlin, chairman and chief executive officer of Earth Biofuels, Inc. “The strategic advantages of this facility include a nearby grain storage silo, which will help in controlling costs by allowing real-time purchasing, and direct access to both rail and water for superior logistics.”

Interim funding for necessary renovations has been provided by Earth Biofuels, Inc., although the Company plans for the majority of the reconstruction funding to be provided through a financing spearheaded by Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. The reconstruction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007, and the facility’s production capacity is projected to be at least 65 million gallons per year.

“We believe that this transaction brings considerable value to Earth Biofuels,” McLaughlin continued, “by adding significant production capacity for fuel ethanol and by furthering our goal of reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil. We are also proud to be doing business in the State of Louisiana and providing an economic stimulus in a region of the U.S. that needs it most.”

06 September, 2006

Dallas, Texas - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF.OB) announces the availability of BioWillie, an Earth Biofuels premium biodiesel brand, at its first two Louisiana locations, the J & S Citgo and Airport Citgo, both located in Shreveport. BioWillie is Willie Nelson’s brand of biodiesel and is distributed exclusively by Earth Biofuels.
Because of the heavily-traveled Interstate-20 route popular with many truckers, Shreveport is an ideal location to launch Earth Biofuels’ first Louisiana BioWillie pumps.

“Because of these stations’ partnerships with Earth Biofuels, truckers traveling on I-20 through Louisiana will now have easy access to BioWillie.” said Willie Nelson. “By using biodiesel, we can help reduce dependency on foreign oil and adopt an energy source that’s clean, renewable and helps domestic farmers find new uses for their products.”

Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, Bob Odom, also sees the benefits of offering BioWillie at Louisiana’s local pumps. “Anytime we have renewable fuel that helps local farmers, I am for it,” said Odom.

J & S Citgo, conveniently located off I-20 at Exit 8, is owned and operated by J & S Fuel Services, Inc. The location offers truckers and motorists 24-hour service, showers, a deli, fax services and a Western Union.

Airport Citgo, operated by Smith Oil Co., is on I-20 at the Monkhouse Road Exit near Shreveport’s downtown airport and provides 24-hour service, a convenience store and video poker.

“We know the truckers are looking for biodiesel more and more as it increases in popularity, so I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.” said Jayan “Jay” Matthews, president of J&S Fuel Services. Our partnership with Earth Biofuels allows us to easily meet a demand for our customers.

By partnering with Earth Biofuels, Shreveport’s two Citgo locations are the first to offer BioWillie to truckers traveling through Louisiana. The BioWillie blend is a premium B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) biodiesel fuel made from vegetable seeds, such as soybeans.

“There’s been a demand for biodiesel from truckers traveling through Louisiana along I-20, especially BioWillie because of the Willie Nelson brand recognition,” said Michael Millen, president of Smith Oil Company. “BioWillie will help us to sell more fuel. If it’s good enough for Willie, it’s good enough for me.”

Earth Biofuels Invests in Illinois Biodiesel Production Facility
21 September, 2006

DALLAS, TEXAS - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF) today announced that it invested $5 million for an equity interest in a newly-formed company named Biodiesel Investment Group. This Memphis-based investment group is teaming up with one of the nation’s leading agribusiness firms, Bunge North America, Inc., to build Illinois’ largest biodiesel production plant in Danville, Illinois. Bunge North America is the North American operating arm of Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG).
Strategically located adjacent to Bunge’s soy crushing and corn milling plants, the new facility will provide a key link between local agriculture, Bunge’s oilseed origination and processing capabilities, and a strong Biodiesel market that the Company believes is currently underserved. The plant is expected to have a production capacity of 45 million gallons per year and to be in production in the first quarter 2008.

The Biodiesel Investment Group consists of individual investors and Earth Biofuels, Inc. “We are pleased and excited to be an investor in the Biodiesel Investment Group and by the Group’s partnership with Bunge North America. We believe that this new facility will provide us an opportunity to broaden our geographic presence and supply Biodiesel under our brand name, BioWillie, to new markets and customers,” said Dennis McLaughlin, chairman and chief executive officer of Earth Biofuels, Inc.

“We have been evaluating Biodiesel opportunities and sites for about a year,” said Mark Burke, the Group’s president. “The Danville site was attractive because of its ready availability of feedstock, the proximity of transportation capabilities, and the commitment to alternative fuels that the State of Illinois has demonstrated. We were pleased with the positive support we have received from The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development, the Illinois Finance Authority, the City of Danville, and Vermillion Advantage.”

Earth Biofuels recently began offering BioWillie at two Citgo fueling stations, J&S Citgo and Airport Citgo, both in Shreveport. Due to the demand for the BioWillie B20 blend along this thoroughfare, pump owner and Smith Oil Co. president, Michael Millen saw an opportunity to increase availability with a third BioWillie pump at Smith Oil Co.’s corporate fueling location adjacent to its office in Shreveport.

“There’s been a request for biodiesel from truckers traveling through Louisiana along I-20, especially BioWillie because of the Willie Nelson brand recognition,” said Millen. “Partnering with Earth Biofuels to offer BioWillie not only helps us sell more fuel, it also allows us to best meet the needs of our customers.”

The Smith Oil Co. fuel pump is located three miles south of Loop 220 on LA Highway 1 at 1604 N. Market Street. The pumps are under the card-lock system, which allows any CFN (Commercial Fueling Network) Card holder access to pay at the pump. Commercial drivers interested in becoming a member of the CFN can set up an account at this location as well.

“I am very proud that the Smith Oil Co. fueling station is partnering with Earth Biofuels to carry BioWillie,” said Willie Nelson. “I know that many of the truckers who pass through that area will be glad to have biodiesel available. Through biodiesel, we can reduce dependency on foreign oil and adopt an energy source that’s clean, renewable and helps family farmers find new uses for their products.”

By partnering with Earth Biofuels, Shreveport’s three locations are the first to offer BioWillie to truckers traveling through Louisiana. BioWillie is a premium B20 blend (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) biodiesel fuel made from vegetable seeds, such as soybeans.

03 October, 2006

DALLAS, TEXAS - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF) announces that it plans to begin acquiring and operating retail service stations through its majority-owned subsidiary, American Earth Fuels Company (AEFC). Newly formed for the purpose of creating the principal distribution channel for Earth Biofuels and its related companies, AEFC plans to sell biodiesel and ethanol fuel products, as well as traditional petroleum fuel products, to consumers around the nation. Earth Biofuels, the exclusive distributor for BioWillie biodiesel fuel, will distribute BioWillie and ethanol fuel to AEFC’s retail stations as required in order to meet the demands of AEFC’s customers.

The initial officers of AEFC will be Thomas M. Davidson, Chairman of the Board, Joseph Wallace, Chief Executive Officer, and Elizabeth Carroll, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. Additionally, NASCAR-driver Rusty Wallace has agreed to provide consulting services and industry marketing guidance to the new entity as it develops partnerships and affiliations within the auto racing industry.

“Tom, Joe and I see this as a great opportunity to be a distribution channel for Earth Biofuels, and we will work closely with Rusty Wallace, our Advisory Board member and consultant to AEFC, in bringing cleaner and more efficient fuel sources to all drivers,” said Beth Carroll, Senior Vice President and co-owner of AEFC. “Earth Biofuels is becoming a leader in this industry, and we look forward to a strong partnership with the Earth Biofuels team.”

Pacific Biodiesel Texas, LP to Release Its First Load of ASTM-Certified Biodiesel From Own Local Refinery
05 October, 2006

Carl’s Corner, Texas – Beginning today Pacific Biodiesel (PB) Texas, LP will release its first tanker load of ASTM-certified biodiesel, produced from local cottonseed oil, out the gates of its local biodiesel refinery. The refinery, built by Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. and conceived by Willie Nelson, is located immediately adjacent to what was once Carl’s Corner Truck Stop. Earth Biofuels, the exclusive distributor of BioWillie premium brand biodiesel, will pick up three loads per week of biodiesel processed at the facility for delivery at a number of area truck stops. The truck stop at Carl’s Corner is currently undergoing major renovations and will reopen early next year as Willie’s Place.
Daily deliveries of cottonseed oil from at least five Texas mills are received at the Pacific Biodiesel Texas biodiesel plant and turned into the cleaner, safer renewable fuel at the rate of 8,000 gallons per day. The fuel is being sold in outlying areas, but the plant will eventually be the major supplier of biodiesel to Earth Biofuels at the neighboring truck stop when Willie’s Place is completed. Pacific Biodiesel Texas is the second biodiesel production partnership for Willie Nelson and Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. Nelson and his wife Annie are also invested in Sequential-Pacific Biodiesel in Salem, Oregon.

“This is indeed an historic moment,” Nelson commented. “We’re able to produce biodiesel grown by local farmers and sold to outlets all over the state of Texas because of this partnership between Pacific Biodiesel and Earth Biofuels. This is the first of many truckloads to come!”
The Pacific Biodiesel Texas refinery can process over 2.5 million gallons per year and is designed to utilize many different feedstocks other than cottonseed oil, including used cooking oil, animal fats and oils and other virgin vegetable oils such as soybean and canola oil. The Texas plant is the ninth biodiesel plant built by Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. and it started up without a hitch, with its first 25,000 gallons meeting the required ASTM D6751 U.S. specification for biodiesel.

Bob King, President of Pacific Biodiesel Inc. and Managing Partner of Pacific Biodiesel Texas, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing biodiesel production to the community. “It’s the ideal energy solution, when you can utilize local feedstock, pay the farmers a good price for their product, and use zero energy delivering fuel to the consumer,” he said, referring to the day when Willie’s Place will sell the bulk of the fuel from the plant.

“As the exclusive distributor of BioWillie, Earth Biofuels is able to work with producers such as Pacific Biodiesel Texas to ensure that premium biodiesel is available to truckers traveling throughout Texas,” said Dennis McLaughlin, CEO of Earth Biofuels. “We are committed to providing premium biodiesel that will not only help the environment by lowering engine emissions, but also help reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and create work for local farmers.”

The Pacific Biodiesel Texas plant uses a single stage process to convert used vegetable oil and animal fats into fuel usable in any diesel engine. Among the many benefits of biodiesel fuel are lower toxic emissions, safer handling requirements and 100% biodegradability. The Salem plant also processes used cooking oil into biodiesel, adding recycling to the list of positive aspects of its renewable fuel production.
