Both are considered renewable fuel facilities. The terms of the lease call for a 20 year lease with 10 successive renewable options totaling an additional 50 years if exercised. The lease also provides for an initial three-month feasibility period and an additional three-month extension, allowing HBSE to conduct further due diligence on the suitability of the site for HBSE’s intended purpose to build a 100 million gallon ethanol and a 50 million gallon bio-diesel facility on the leased property. The growing demand for renewable fuel and the current limited supply combine to drive market needs for similar operations. It is believed that bio-diesel is also especially well suited to help diminish the carbon footprint that is a major contributor to the process of global warming. Both projects will take advantage of HBS BioEnergy’s recent joint venture and affiliation with Agri-Mass Enviro of Visalia, California to supply the facilities with thermal and electrical energy costs that management believes will be 50%-80% below typical facilities that are fueled by natural gas. HBSE also plans to employ a value added process platform that is designed to provide greater financial risk mitigation compared to standard facilities, by producing value added salable end products in addition to ethanol and bio-diesel fuels. The President of HBSE, Claude Luster III, said 'The location and logistical attributes of the 90-acre Port of Morrow site will help give HBSE an advantage in most cost effectively producing these fuels and delivering them to consumers especially on the west coast of the United States. Governmental support for the establishment of this type of novel approach should help reduce our demand for oil-based fuels, which are generally produced in regions of the world with unstable political profiles.' Mr. Luster further went on to state, 'In combination with the Port of Morrow site, our cost-mitigating approach and vertically integrated technology are perfectly adapted for the production of these bio-fuels and should allow HBSE to compete effectively in this rapidly growing industrial market.' HBS BioEnergy is in the business of bio-fuel production, with a team focused on locating, constructing and operating bio-fuel facilities using cutting-edge technologies. The Company has offices in Fresno, California.
