DALLAS--(Business Wire)--Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF) today announced that its
subsidiary, Applied LNG Technologies, Inc. ("ALT"), has begun
receiving regular deliveries of the output of renewable liquefied
natural gas ("LNG") produced from a landfill site in Orange County,
California.
Per the terms of a prior agreement, ALT has the first right to
purchase one hundred percent of the nameplate capacity (5,000 gallons
per day) production of the LNG facility which is owned by a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prometheus Energy Company at the Frank R.
Bowerman Landfill. ALT markets the LNG to the Orange County
Transportation Authority.
ALT's Vice President of Operations, Kevin Markey, said, "We are
excited to incorporate renewable LNG from landfill gas into our
growing California market. The demand for clean, transportation-grade
LNG in California has never been higher."
Prometheus' Chief Operating Officer, Earl Franklin, added, "We are
proud to have the first LNG production facility of its kind in
operation and look forward to growing our relationship with ALT."
Solid waste landfills produce a 50% methane gas as a result of the
decomposition of organic materials within the landfill. The Bowerman
production facility is the first of its kind in the U.S. to
commercially produce renewable vehicle-grade LNG from landfill gas.
Transportation grade LNG helps companies meet strict emission
standards in the state of California. Vehicles fueled by the
transportation grade LNG produce approximately one-sixth of the
nitrous oxides (NOx) and up to 15 percent less greenhouse gases than
comparable petroleum diesel fueled vehicles.
