- Green Star Products, Inc. (OTC:GSPI) today announced that EcoAlgae USA, LLC, has received a signed resolution from Saline County Missouri commissioners to construct a commercial Algae Production Facility in conjunction with an Integrated Biorefinery Complex.

EcoAlgae USA will contract with Green Star's Associated Consortium of Companies to construct the Algae-to-Biodiesel and Next Generation Waste-to-Energy Complex.

EcoAlgae USA

received from the Saline County commissioners the approval of issuance of $141 million of the county's industrial development revenue bonds to finance this project. The project will be organized and constructed in conjunction with United Biorefineries Corp. (UBC), a technology management company, as the main Consortium Company with other integrated licenses.

The EcoAlgae USA, LLC, project will involve algae production as the heart of this Biorefinery Complex because its high production biomass feedstock only requires sunlight, CO2 and brackish or saltwater. Note these important facts about algae: -0- 1. 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.) 2. Algae eat CO2, the major Global Warming Gas, and produce oxygen. 3. Algae require only sunshine and non-drinkable (salt or brackish) water. 4. Algae do not compete with food crops for either agricultural land or fresh water. 5. 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. 6. Algae oil byproduct is a highly nutritious protein-rich food (30- 50%), which will someday help feed the world.

Green Star Products has been a major facilitator in all aspects of this UBC Integrated Biorefinery Manufacturing Complex model for several years.

The Biorefinery will be the first of its kind and will incorporate all the technologies to produce oil, cattle feed, electricity, biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol and steam.

Besides algae feedstock, other feedstocks to produce these valuable products come from non-food sources and are comprised of waste wood products, organic municipal waste, switchgrass, and other waste agricultural products such as corncobs.

The four main technologies required for this facility are: -0- 1. Algae Production, Processing and Refining by Green Star Products 2. Cellulosic Ethanol Production by Pure Energy Corporation 3. Biogas Production by MKW Biogas 4. Algae Research & Engineering by Biotech Research (BTR) and Green Star Products

UBC and the above companies have strategic alliances with other major corporations and international engineering firms.

United Biorefineries Corp. represents the above Consortium of Companies through licensing arrangements and is the technology provider and will be responsible for the construction of the entire Biorefinery Complex for EcoAlgae USA, LLC. UBC will distribute profits from this project to its participating Consortium Companies.

EcoAlgae USA and all the participants, who have been working on this Missouri project for over one year, would like to congratulate Saline County and its commissioners for having the insight to provide the opportunity to build the most advanced Eco-friendly Biorefinery of the future.
