PetroAlgae Announces Strategic Partnership With Foster Wheeler to Create End-to-End Biomass-to-Fuel
Solutions
MELBOURNE, Fla., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
PetroAlgae Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PALG) announced today that it has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with Foster Wheeler AG's (Nasdaq: FWLT) Global Engineering and Construction Group for
engineering services to be performed in conjunction with PetroAlgae's micro-crop technology, which allows for the
production of dry biomass at an unprecedented scale.
PetroAlgae intends to work with Foster Wheeler to develop commercial solutions that will allow existing oil
refineries to convert micro-crop biomass into fuels that are functionally compatible with petroleum-based
fuels in the current market. For refineries, the solutions are expected to provide strong economics from the large-
scale processing of PetroAlgae's micro-crop biomass into green fuels. The two firms will create end-to-end
market solutions for the large-scale production of green gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and specialty chemicals.
"Foster Wheeler's engineering and refining expertise coupled with our commercial scale biomass technology will
provide an opportunity to create end-to-end market solutions for optimizing the conversion of large quantities
of biomass into large quantities of green fuels," said Dr. John Scott, chairman of PetroAlgae. "Through this
partnership, we expect to further optimize our fuel and petroleum replacement output, more rapidly integrate
with current refinery systems and realize the benefit of Foster Wheeler's ability to bring innovation to the process.
These solutions offer the promise of transforming sunlight into fuels, thereby providing countries around the
world with yet another option on the path to sustainable and clean energy independence."
"Our company has long been a global leader in engineering solutions to some of the world's major energy
problems," said Umberto della Sala, president and chief operating officer of Foster Wheeler AG. "We believe we
can play a significant role in helping refineries realize the potential of processing biomass into green fuels. We are
excited about the opportunity to work with a dynamic organization like PetroAlgae and having the opportunity
to develop biomass conversion solutions that will help the refinery industry realize the potential of green fuels."
