BlueFire Announces Plan for Rapid Deployment of Multiple Facilities


2006-07-19 09:00 ET - News Release

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06


BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFRE) announced today it is forming Joint Venture Development Partnerships with qualified and experienced regional developers throughout the United States and Canada. These partnerships will enable BlueFire to rapidly deploy their cellulose conversion technology in North America while targeting specific geographic areas with the highest demand for ethanol fuels and available feedstock supply. BlueFire will be project lead and equity owner in projects utilizing their technology.

BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. was established to deploy the commercially ready, patented, and proven Arkenol Technology Process for the profitable conversion of cellulosic ("Green Waste") waste materials to ethanol, a proven and highly desirable alternative to gasoline. BlueFire's use of the Arkenol Process Technology positions it as the only cellulose-to-ethanol company worldwide with demonstrated production of ethanol from urban trash (post-sorted MSW), rice and wheat straws, wood waste and other agricultural residues. Our goal is to develop and operate high-value carbohydrate-based transportation fuel production facilities worldwide. These "biorefineries" will convert widely available, inexpensive, organic materials such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose from MSW into ethanol.

BlueFire is committed to the concepts of integrity, profitability and increasing shareholder value. Therefore as part of a multifaceted effort, BlueFire plans to, concurrent with the development of its own facilities, form associations with a select group of companies for deployment of the technology. BlueFire proposes to do this through strategic Partnerships, with candidates who have demonstrated experience and exhibit a qualified business model into which the BlueFire technology will form a key business component. A pivotal element for Partnership qualification is the ability to show the potential for key elements essential to the BlueFire process. These include, but are not limited to,

-- Access to a reliable source of input raw material including by
example,
-- Landfill locations
-- Long term landfill diversion facilities
-- Sources for wood and other cellulose input streams
-- An ethanol sales plan
-- Potential for co-location with cogeneration facilities (new or
existing), or
-- A business plan that tightly links to a waste segregation plan or
system
-- Expansion or replication potential (a pipeline of potential projects)
-- Regional diversity
-- Existing transportation infrastructure
-- Applicant experience, credibility in the market, and credit worthiness
are essential

BlueFire has categorized its expansion plans and desires to enter into a portfolio of strategic Partnerships. This plan of using synergistic relationships is believed by BlueFire as the most effective and prudent manner to maximize its operation and expand its market presence. BlueFire has targeted regions where it believes the maximum potential exist. Included in these regions are large urban areas where waste disposal is a problem and landfill disposal alternatives are important, additionally agricultural areas where agricultural residues disposal present challenges are targeted. Further included are areas abutting National Forests where there is a pressing (and long-term) need to dispose of dead or diseased vegetation.

CEO Arnold Klann, in discussing these expansion plans stated: "Since BlueFire technology has been in actual production for over four years in NEDO's pilot plant in Japan, we are well beyond the research and development stage of our business plan. In the last few months, we entered into joint venture discussions with several leading industrial companies, which we believe will result in the execution of definitive agreements to begin construction of biorefineries within the next few months. The average construction time for such biorefineries will last approximately 14 months, with commercial production and realization of sizeable revenues being generated for the Company by the end of the third quarter of 2007. Our first biorefinery under negotiation is capable of producing about ten million gallons of ethanol per year resulting in gross profits in excess of 40% of gross revenues. Subsequent facilities will be sized at 55 million gallons per year. Since our expansion plans are primarily designed around joint venture relationships, the Company can undertake the simultaneous construction of more than one biorefinery at a time. Our projections call for a minimum of 20 biorefineries to be in commercial production within the next 7 years in North America. As these joint ventures are finalized, we will announce them to our shareholders and the market."

BlueFire encourages interested parties to contact it for consideration.

International EPC, JGC Corporation Signs Principal Agreement With Arkenol on Behalf of BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. for Design and Development of First North American Biomass-to-Ethanol Plant


2006-07-13 09:00 ET - News Release

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/13/06


BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFRE) announces that Arkenol on its behalf has finalized a Principle Agreement for the process design development and further collaboration with JGC Corporation for the first cellulosic bio-ethanol production project located in North America. JGC will provide the design analysis and engineering, while BlueFire will provide the technology, development and marketing expertise.

In a recent JGC Corporation press release (June 20, 2006) they state, "Biomass-ethanol as an alternative fuel for automobiles is now attracting considerable interest in the United States. This follows a sudden steep rise in the price of crude oil and the Government's policy of reducing the nation's dependence on imported energy resources. Furthermore, the utilization of biomass-ethanol as a resource responds to the strong public demand to cut CO2 emissions in the U.S. Since the early 1990s, close attention has been given to production technologies for the conversion to fuel of woody residue biomass resources obtained from agricultural wastes (cores, stalks, etc.) and waste lumber." During this period, JGC entered into a technology licensing agreement with Arkenol (the licensor of BlueFire's technology) as a licensee of the world-wide-patented cellulosic ethanol production technology. Subsequently, JGC continued to conduct research and testing directed at implementing BlueFire's licensed technology and enhancing its performance with the integration of JGC-developed fermentation and distillation technology.

For the past four years JGC has utilized the BlueFire licensed technology to convert cellulose-based waste into ethanol at their plant in Izumi, Japan. JGC states, "In 2002, [we were] awarded a contract by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) of the Japanese Government for the implementation and commercialization of cellulosic ethanol production technology, including installation, operation and testing, of a pilot bio-ethanol production plant at NEDO's alcohol production research site (in the city of Izumi, Kagoshima Prefecture) based on Arkenol's technology." Arnold R. Klann, CEO of BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. states, "The Izumi facility enabled us to verify Arkenol's technology as being commercially viable via an unrelated third party, which now sets the stage for our rollout of this technology in the United States, as we plan to do as either company owned facilities, or as joint ventures with strategic partners."

JGC issued a statement saying, "The present cellulosic bio-ethanol-based project calls for processing woody wastes and agricultural wastes (cellulosic biomass) to be the feedstock for bio-ethanol production in the United States, to supplement foodstuff biomass materials such as corn and sugar cane used as the feedstock for conventional bio-ethanol production. With the realization of the project, JGC together with BlueFire Ethanol will be optimally positioned in the global, burgeoning renewable fuels market for the commercialization of cellulosic biomass-based ethanol production technologies. Currently, JGC is developing bio-ethanol production projects in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. The company is committed to pursuing business opportunities leading to technological advancement and project investment in biomass energy to meet societal and environmental needs."

BlueFire Ethanol, Inc., the Global Technology Leader in MSW Cellulose-to-Ethanol Conversion, Completes Entry Into the Public Market


2006-07-11 09:00 ET - News Release

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/11/06


BlueFire Ethanol Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFRE) ("BlueFire") was established to deploy the proven Arkenol Technology Process ("Technology") for the profitable conversion of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) cellulosic materials to ethanol. BlueFire's use of the Arkenol Technology positions it as the only cellulose-to-ethanol company worldwide with demonstrated production of ethanol from urban trash (post-sorted MSW), rice and wheat straws, wood waste and other agricultural residues. BlueFire is the exclusive, perpetual, North America Licensee of the Technology for use in the production of ethanol for the transportation fuel market. BlueFire's goal is to develop and operate high-value carbohydrate-based transportation fuel production facilities worldwide. These "biorefineries" will convert widely available, inexpensive, organic materials such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose in municipal solid wastes into ethanol. As part of the process of going public, several Biorefinery project development and engineering assets have been contributed to BlueFire valued at over $16,000,000.

BlueFire's technology is extremely versatile, both in its ability to utilize a wide variety of feedstocks and in the end-products that it can produce. This versatility enables BlueFire to consider a wide variety of feedstocks and locations in which to develop facilities to become the lowest cost producer of ethanol.

With the research and development work completed, patent protections in place, the product markets researched, a proven demonstration plant and several full-scale biorefinery projects currently in various stages of development, BlueFire is uniquely positioned to become the world leader in the development, ownership and operation of these biorefineries. BlueFire has completed the arrangement of the major commitments necessary to proceed with final development of the First Commercial North American Waste to Ethanol Production Facility for construction expected by early 2007.

BlueFire will use several strategic "assets" to enter selected markets and sustain its position in those markets when faced with the inevitable competitive response. These strategic assets include:

-- Utility -- the usefulness of BlueFire's technology to process
cellulose waste to ethanol;
-- Pricing -- the competitive price of its products;
-- Flexibility -- the flexibility to use a wide variety of raw materials
for feedstocks;
-- Geographic Diversity -- the opportunity for the geographic
distribution of production facilities, i.e., the ability to locate
facilities close to their customer base;
-- Political Value -- the technology's attractiveness for sustainable
economic development and resource independence; and
-- Experience -- the BlueFire teams' experience in applying the
technology and developing similar types of facilities.

Using these strategic assets, BlueFire intends to build a multinational company that leads the world in producing biobased transportation fuels. Its business will encompass development activities leading to the construction and long-term operation of production facilities while maintaining technological advantage of the process technology and all its improvements. In doing so, BlueFire expects to grow the company's revenues to over $10 billion per year domestically.

Ethanol is utilized in a 5 to 10% blend in the U.S. and currently enjoys a modest market of over 4 billion gallons per year and is mandated to grow to over 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. California presently has a one billion gallon per year demand with no significant production in the State. Ethanol blended with gasoline at 85%, provide additional market demand for supply for existing E85 vehicles. In the longer-term, as new hydrogen technologies evolve commercially ethanol is a safe, clean, and inexpensive way to deliver hydrogen to hybrid vehicle fuel cells.

Use of abundant and low cost waste materials provide competitive advantages over existing methods of ethanol production. Use of BlueFire Technology shifts the paradigm for the ethanol market by decoupling production costs from feedstock costs creating a business model with greater predictability on a long-term basis.

Ethanol will be produced from biorefinery facilities opportunistically constructed on or near landfills, waste collection and waste separation sites. Each facility will deploy the proprietary technology, which uses all cellulosic waste materials traditionally disposed of in landfills as feedstock. Ethanol will be marketed to local refiners for blending into the transportation fuel market as an additive to gasoline to provide octane, dilute toxics and extend fuel supplies.

The biorefineries will produce other marketable products, including lignin, gypsum and animal feed. Lignin will be sold or used as fuel to provide the steam and electricity needs of the biorefineries. Gypsum will be sold as a soil amendment or raw material for the building industry. A small amount of waste yeast will be sold as animal feed.

For the last four years, the Technology has been successfully used by an unrelated, independent, and internationally recognized corporation to produce ethanol for the Japanese transportation fuel market. Over the last 10 years, the initial testing on a vast array of potential feedstock has been completed both in the U.S. and at various locations throughout the world. The core technology and other related processes are protected under patents issued and pending by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. www.BlueFireEthanol.com

Ethanol is utilized in a 5 to 10% blend in the U.S. and currently enjoys a modest market of over 4 billion gallons per year and is mandated to grow to over 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. California presently has a one billion gallon per year demand with no significant production in the State. Ethanol blended with gasoline at 85%, provide additional market demand for supply for existing E85 vehicles. In the longer-term, as new hydrogen technologies evolve commercially ethanol is a safe, clean, and inexpensive way to deliver hydrogen to hybrid vehicle fuel cells.

Use of abundant and low cost waste materials provide competitive advantages over existing methods of ethanol production. Use of BlueFire Technology shifts the paradigm for the ethanol market by decoupling production costs from feedstock costs creating a business model with greater predictability on a long-term basis.

Ethanol will be produced from biorefinery facilities opportunistically constructed on or near landfills, waste collection and waste separation sites. Each facility will deploy the proprietary technology, which uses all cellulosic waste materials traditionally disposed of in landfills as feedstock. Ethanol will be marketed to local refiners for blending into the transportation fuel market as an additive to gasoline to provide octane, dilute toxics and extend fuel supplies.

The biorefineries will produce other marketable products, including lignin, gypsum and animal feed. Lignin will be sold or used as fuel to provide the steam and electricity needs of the biorefineries. Gypsum will be sold as a soil amendment or raw material for the building industry. A small amount of waste yeast will be sold as animal feed.

For the last four years, the Technology has been successfully used by an unrelated, independent, and internationally recognized corporation to produce ethanol for the Japanese transportation fuel market. Over the last 10 years, the initial testing on a vast array of potential feedstock has been completed both in the U.S. and at various locations throughout the world. The core technology and other related processes are protected under patents issued and pending by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. www.BlueFireEthanol.com

BlueFire Ethanol Identifies Southern California Landfill as Initial Location in the U.S. for Commercialization of Cellulose Ethanol Technology


2006-08-22 10:12 ET - News Release

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/22/06


BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFRE) has identified the initial location in the United States for the commercialization of its cellulose ethanol technology and in cooperation with a publicly traded company, providing comprehensive waste and environmental services in North America, submitted a response to the U.S. Department of Energy's request for applications to design, construct, build and operate an integrated biorefinery using cellulosic feedstock for the production of ethanol. The BlueFire biorefinery is proposed to be located at an existing landfill site in Southern California.

BlueFire's Southern California Biorefinery will process 700 tons of green waste and other cellulosic waste material per day into 24 million gallons of fuel grade ethanol per year with projected revenues of about $55 million and operating income of approximately $25 million per year. The proposed landfill location has been in existence since 1986 accepting approximately 10,000 tons per day of waste from Southern California Counties. Blue Fire's Biorefinery is consistent with BlueFire's 6-year deployment plan, where the Company is estimated to produce1.5 billion gallons of ethanol and approximately $2.7 billion in gross revenues by 2012 with earnings in excess of $1.6 billion.

BlueFire plans to locate their cellulose conversion facilities on landfills throughout North America, initially focusing on the California fuel market. CEO Arnold R Klann states, "The proposed landfill site in California is the perfect location and provides a model that can easily be replicated across multiple regions of the United States to bring ethanol to the fuel markets. Our partner in this transaction alone has control of over 200 landfills in North America where BlueFire's technology can be deployed. The Southern California Biorefinery and facilities like it will enable us to be located directly in the markets with the highest demand for ethanol while extending the life of the landfills upon which they sit." BlueFire biorefineries provide a path towards meeting President Bush's Executive Order that sets a national goal of replacing more than 75% of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025 and California's goal to produce a minimum of 20 percent of its biofuels within California by 2010, and 40 percent by 2020.

BlueFire Ethanol Secures LOI for Long Term Ethanol Purchase Agreement With Petro-Diamond, Inc., a Mitsubishi Subsidiary


2006-08-29 09:44 ET - News Release

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/29/06


BlueFire Ethanol, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFRE) signed an LOI with Petro-Diamond, Inc. (PDI) to purchase the ethanol produced from BlueFire's first North American Biomass-to-Ethanol conversion facility located at a Southern California landfill as announced last week.

Petro-Diamond, Inc. is a significant blender of denatured ethanol into motor fuel in Southern California. Ethanol is currently blended year-round at PDI's terminal facility located in Long Beach, California. On average, they purchase over 50,000 gallons of ethanol per day.

"In striving to eliminate the commodity risks that have always plagued the traditional ethanol producers we have focused on two key elements of our development plan. BlueFire, by using waste as a feedstock, has eliminated the risk that traditional producers encounter while supplying their process with a commodity such as corn or sugarcane as a feedstock. The other key element to our plan is to decrease the volatility of our end product sales by striving to 'lock-up' the price variances an ethanol producer would typically encounter. The agreement with PDI enables us to do what we do best, profitably convert green waste and other cellulosic waste into ethanol."

"We're excited about working with BlueFire Ethanol in the future," stated Michael Dougherty, General Manager of Petro-Diamond. "BlueFire's waste to ethanol manufacturing process provides us with a cost advantage that will help keep PDI competitive in this dynamic industry."

U.S. oil consumption has climbed to a record high of 7.6 billion barrels per year, with 38% of all imported oil originating from the Middle East. "Maximizing energy efficiency and renewable energy is the domestic epicenter in the war on terror, and it is imperative that we maximize the partnerships between the public and private sectors in new and creative ways with a sense of seriousness, national purpose, and the urgency the situation merits," commented U.S. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary Alexander Karsner at the recent Power-Gen Renewable Energy and Fuels Conference.

The renewable multi-year agreement between BlueFire and PDI provides for floor and ceiling pricing for the ethanol based on a reasonable discount from the previous months Los Angeles average rack price and subject to escalation.

Megaschlaue Börsenbriefe kommen immer mehr mit small caps in US, die Ethanol produzieren. Experten (?) gehen davon aus, dass der Ami-Öl-Markt schon in einigen Jahren einen deutlichen Umschwung zu Ethanol bringen wird, Öl ist ja nicht mehr viel (meine Kinder werdens noch erleben, dass es alle ist).
Ein guter Bekannter produziert Großanlagen, und mittlerweile mit dem Schwerpunkt Ethanol-Prod. in den östl. Bundesländern und Polen. Bei Ethanol wird sich noch eine Menge tun, aber das Öl ist derzeit noch zu billig, damit mehr Druck in die Tüte kommt.
