('EBE') to produce renewable electrical energy from waste biomass such as cow manure. EBE now announces the signing of a term sheet for a commitment to provide financing of $66 million USD for a California-based biomass renewable energy generation project that will convert cow manure into 20 (net) megawatts of electricity, as well as steam, hot water and organic fertilizer. Mr. Len Chapman, CEO of EBE stated that 'the total capitalized cost for the project is estimated to be 72 million USD. Funding is dependent on satisfying the conditions of the term sheet which includes EBE obtaining all necessary permits and land to be ready for construction.' Mr. Chapman went on to state that 'This project is being developed under the project name 'EBE South Lake Energy Park, LLC'. It will utilize a thermal gasification conversion process. It is anticipated that the plant will be highly profitable with long-term revenue derived from the sale of power to regional utility companies and the sale of the organic fertilizer byproduct. The energy park addresses two critical demands. It eliminates the dairy farmer’s most challenging growth constraint by safely processing the waste manure. It produces clean, renewable power which is in high demand due to California’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards that require 20% of all power produced by 2010 to be from renewable sources. This goal is unlikely to be met in the near term and thus strategically positions EBE as a key provider.' Mr. Chapman concluded by saying that 'The energy park is in the central dairy corridor in close proximity to 200,000 dairy animals. The facility is strategically located to take advantage of the extensive dairy industry in central California. It will also provide a clean, reliable solution to the increasingly pressing issue of waste manure management in a state with an enormous dairy-based agribusiness.' According to EBE, California’s 1.5 million dairy cows produce over 48 million tons of waste in a year. Cow manure contains nitrogenous compounds that overwhelm waterways and precipitate algal blooms. In addition, manure can pollute groundwater and wells thus compromising safe human water consumption. Dairies are the single largest source of water pollution in several large California counties. EBE’s unique approach will provide a solution to these difficult problems. The EBE management team is led by CEO Mr. Len Chapman. He has been a Senior Executive with numerous Fortune 500 companies and has extensive contacts with the dairy industry in California. His team also includes other agribusiness leaders in the state.
