Green Star Products Issues Full Report on Algae Demonstration Facility in MontanaDate Posted: May 14, 2008 San Diego, CAGreen Star Products, Inc., (OTC: GSPI) announced May 9 that it has publicly released the entire chronological technical report on its 2007-2008 algae (40,000 liter) demonstration facility. The Green Star algae facility (located in Montana) is one of the world’s largest demonstration facilities and has served as a scientific and engineering milestone towards the commercial production of algae for energy and food. The algae industry is in such an embryonic state that very few people even understand the real algae production problems, much less, claim solutions for the production of algae. The report clearly delineates the real problems and engineering solutions provided by the demo project without revealing the patent pending intellectual property provided by the program. Today, more experts agree that a new algae production industry offers a real solution to simultaneously solve three major world problems: energy crisis, global warming and food production crisis. It’s important to review the factors that make algae so competitive with other agricultural products: Algae produce 100 times more oil per acre than traditional food oilseed crops such as soy, etc. (Note: Algae produces 4,000 gallons of oil per acre per year versus 50 gallons per acre for soy.) Algae eat CO2, the major Global Warming Gas, and produce oxygen. Algae require only sunshine and non-drinkable (salt or brackish) water. Algae do not compete with food crops for either agricultural land or fresh water. Algae can reproduce themselves and their oil every 6 hours, while it takes Mother Nature millions of years to produce crude oil in the ground. Algae oil byproduct is a highly nutritious protein-rich food (30-50%), which will someday help feed the world Algae can produce high protein food at the rate of over 50 times (5,000%) faster than traditional food crops such as corn, soybeans and wheat. Green Star’s business plan includes commercial production in the 2008-2009 timeframe. For more information, call 619-864-4010. See Related Websites/Articles: Advanced Biofuels
