Dr. Robert G. Bergman and Dr. Jonathon A. Ellman will serve as advisors to the partnership. This continued alliance underscores both organizations' common goal of working to develop sustainable chemistries that not only benefit the environment, but also play a commercially positive role in chemical design by streamlining production methods and reducing the amount of energy required.

The Magellan([R]) benchtop system which utilizes Kreido Biofuels' STT([R]) (Spinning Tube-in-Tube) technology is capable of sustaining moderate temperatures and pressures within a relatively small working volume. The Magellan([R]) benchtop system is specifically designed for early stage research and development due to its need for only small amounts of chemicals to explore chemical reactions. The Company believes that the system is ideal for applications where the reactants are expensive or hazardous, such as in pharmaceutical and biofuels development. The Company further believes that experiments can be performed in a minimal amount of time and require simple support equipment. Incorporating STT([R]) technology, the Company believes that the Magellan([R]) unit can in many instances improve yields, selectivity, and reaction rates, while reducing energy consumption. In addition, most chemical recipes that are developed in the Magellan([R]) system are intended to be scaled to full commercial production, thereby accelerating a new chemical product's time to market.

"Our CRADA has already identified some very promising chemical processes, and by supplying the Magellan([R]) system, and adding Dr. Bergman and Dr. Ellman to the research team - we will be able to take a more active role in developing these opportunities."

Dr. Robert G. Bergman (Gerald E.K. Branch Distinguished Professor of Chemistry) and Dr. Jonathon A. Ellman (Professor of Chemistry), at the University of California, Berkley, will join as advisors to the EPA/Kreido Biofuels collaboration. The Company believes that their joint expertise in organic chemistry and specifically chemical reactions and the applications to treat disease and in catalytic C-H activation reactions will assist efforts in pharmaceutical processing, and that their research in other areas of organic chemistry will support continued advancement of efficient biofuel bi·o·fuel

About the Company

Kreido Biofuels is providing the world renewable energy Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation.  through its proprietary process intensification technology - the STT([R]) system. Our manufacturing methods significantly improve the efficiency, quality, and process control of biodiesel production. To build a sustainable future, our goal is to provide the industry cutting edge technology that improves the manufacturing of biofuels. The Company's senior management has over 50 years of experience in the energy sector including the design, construction, operation, and management of petroleum refining, natural gas distribution, and chemical processing facilities. Kreido Biofuels has also established collaborations with university and government laboratories, such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), to gain a leading position in the development of advanced chemical processes. Kreido Biofuels is based in Camarillo, California. For more information about Kreido Biofuels, visit www.kreido.com.
