i'm looking at LLBO. i think this might be the same jim holmes.

Up a penny, no news but decent volume......

Anyone find andy news to go with this increase?

A move up today of .02

By the end of this year there should be some news from one of the 3 companies.

Does anyone know the relation between Calusa, Alpine, and Pan Gen Global?

Yes - very interesting - thank you for the information.

Alpine has my interest too - because, I think cellulosic ethanol will eventually replace corn ethanol in the intermediate and long terms.

And, there are very few cellulosic ethanol firms around - at least in my research so far.


I hope those doing due diligence on Alpine will post their findings here - especially revealing will be Alpine's technology - and, how efficient it is in comparison to some of the other stocks in cellulosic ethanol.



Best Regards and, as always, - Good Fortune,
Tommy

ALPN, (.0325) 156,000 shares traded today, someone keeps quietly buying this one. Name Symbol Change 4/30 from CLME to ALPN.

What I found interesting was CLME spun off everything in the CLME shell into a private company. Then Jose Delemos bought shell and turned it into Alpine Management Systems. The old longs all got a dividend in the new company in March. Then they all sold their shares in the shell after the divvy.

Recs: 0 Re: Pan Gen Global


Biomass-to-energy is a concept that has been around from time immemorial. The use of biomass for transportation purposes really began in earnest when the railroads first opened the West, with trains burning wood as their primary fuel. Soon this was replaced with a fossil hydrocarbon (coal) that was much easier to mine and transport. Coal was then replaced by other hydrocarbons, gasoline and diesel. Another phase of displacement, with bio-fuels supplementing the combustion of fossil hydrocarbons, is well on its way to becoming a fact of life. Ethanol will be the “oxygenator” for unleaded gasoline creating much cleaner burning combustion and fewer tailpipe emissions. Today Brazil leads the world’s industrialized nations in production of ethanol fuel.

Pan Gen Global is a British Corporation with a regional office in California. Our first facilities will be located in the heart of the Sacramento Valley’s rice producing area and Arkansas. California produces about 18% of the rice grown in the United States; about 550,000 acres annually. Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and Missouri also produce large quantities of rice. In California an acre yields approximately 8000 pounds of rice, 5000 pounds of waste rice straw and 1000 pounds of waste rice hulls.



Pan Gen Global will produce ethanol, silica/sodium oxide and lignin from waste rice straw, waste rice hulls and other cellulosics. Our facility will consume approximately 130,000 tons of waste biomass annually, producing 12.5 million gallons of ethanol and 16,800 tons of silica/sodium oxide.

Ethanol sells as a commodity priced (as of June '06) at $3.36 per gallon. California imports approximately 950,000,000 gallons annually. Silica/sodium oxide is a widely used ingredient with applications in the paper industry, by detergent and soap producers and for the production of gels , catalysts and zeolytes.

The Pan Gen Global processing facility will be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2008.

I could not begin to tell you what to do with your shares.

I do not want to play big shot here, as I did start life after VN unloading boxcars, then climbing iron, a carpenter, then a contractor and manufacturer, and on to things that worked for me. I was a workaholic, saved my money, fixed things that were discarded and broken in the early years and thought of it as "new to me". Life worked super well for me by now, through hard work, patience and enjoying the process. I do trade stocks regularly, but very slight of my net worth is in the market. Currently I hold FTEK (I think might have legs yet), GERN and some other stem cells, HK, CHK (I think gas may be about topped out now, gas cycles, learn it!), NG, a green stock or two and alternative energy issues. I do some other things as a group type thing, but will keep that long story to myself. Science is easy for me, go to your strong suit.

Just depends on your personal stage of life and goals, if you should sell or not. One thing for certain, I have been wrong a few times when I would have known for sure I was right. SO I need not give specific instructions. My guess is, this one goes to zero. But I am holding more shares of it than you mention, losing on it will not hurt me. Sorry if that sounds big. I will weld my own shovel handle back together to save 15 bucks, but then talk bold on a stock.

Learn how to be your own advisor, is what I tell me. I do not always do it either. I read at a board of a group of marvelous traders, full timers, like I have done myself a few years. Yes I did well, and posted k's of posts, many of those calling out scams, reporting to the SEC and such. Now I rarely post. Just read and get great research off friends I have learned over the years. I have numerous things going in life, only wish to spend about 1 and 1/2 hrs a day now on trading and reading. Weekends I spend more. If you are new to trading, I can tell you that in my beginning years I read or worked at learning the market biz 10 and 12 hours a day, many times 7 days a week...was an obcession/fun. a got to succeed. Lucky winnings will soon be more than lost.

I commonly talk to CEO's, even when they pretend not to talk to investors. In biotechs I have helped folks get in trials and then learned first hand how all that monkey business works. No, I did not trade those issues at all. I have gone to great lengths to learn how public companies, which I genrally feel are one sort of scam or another -- how they work. I can many times read a PR and in a few lines see where the lie is, or read SEC reports and tell what they are hiding, when they are about to do a dilution of shares, or tell who the paid promoters are on a chat board. It is my view that not many are successfull at this stock trading thing. ANd I have had huge runs up and down, but more were just work a day ups or downs.

If I have offended you with something here, I am sorry, this happens often in print, not in my real life. I am dislexic, write odd, and many paid promoters make fun of dislexics writing on these boards. But I think I see a good share of us who trade pretty good. My favorite trader and great person I know on the net, is a dislexic.

I have grandly overkilled your question. If my answer does not apply to you then maybe it helps someone new to this.

If I had very little money, and I have sure had to pick up the sofa cushions to look for loose change, I would sell this and buy a few shares of a FTEK or someting pretty solid and depressed. Hold it how ever long it takes until there is enough money and I enough experience to diversify over several investments...all being only a small portion (I like about 1 or 2%, but that might be too tight for others) of my net worth.

Have great life.

So if these are free shares for me do you think I should sell them or just hold them. I only have 50,000 shares.

For my own reasons the pps failing like it did had to do with Tom appearing very tiny small. He had tossed out information about how the plant would have already been started, then would start soon, then wammo -- the truth, they are doing a feasibilty study. To now we are told restructuring will have to be done IF 40 to 50 mil dollars can be found to build a plant. That to me says, 'you boys and girls holding shares, ready your yikes'. What goofball would get to this point not having the patent process proven...just how did he get that patent without the proving? Why has Tom not tried to build a size and manner of plant he can afford, for hooting sakes?

Then Tom went on the mum, either not in the office, at a bar rubbing his hair out, or will not come to the phone. I just imagine someone has wispered in his ear in regaurds to lying associated with hyping, that would be beyond allowable best lights protection...even for a pink, which we do know are generally hoots.

Since you have been following along, knowing the past of Tom. And everyone who has posted here as to the words Tom has said could not all be untruthfull or misunderstood. With this in mind, if you had say 60 million dollars, would you trust Tom with 40 or 50 of it? I sure would not. I would trust him only with exact change on anything.

I have a number of shares, back in pretty cheap. But looks like a mistake to have gotten in anywhere. Though we are having that market fun. This is not real investing, I do real investing, but this is for some misterious mixed up corner of my weaker brain zone.

I have been in this company since late 2006. I sold at .15 earlier with half my shares and now looking at the price wish I would've sold the other half at .3. Can anybody give me a solid rational of why the company's stock price has dropped so much?

Colusa Biomass Confirming its Cellulosic-Ethanol Technology

Colusa Biomass Energy Corp. Tuesday announced that the company's primary objective is to complete, as soon as possible, independent testing and validation of its biomass to ethanol technology. Results of the technology testing and validation, together with the independent feasibility study, are expected to be completed early this year. In order to support the validation, feasibility, plant engineering and design, as well the cost of the construction of the biorefinery, management has been seeking financial resources. Preliminary estimates suggest these costs and expenses could be in the $45-million to $55-million range. In discussions and initial negotiations with prospective funding sources, restructuring and possibly reorganizing the Company may, and most probably, will be required. The company's proprietary process is designed to convert waste biomass to fuel ethanol. Colusa Biomass is located in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. rice producing region.

Not news we like, but certainly has some details about the warm and fuzzy news for -- them. I did not go look to see if GM also PR'ed this event? Might be a good idea, putting on or taking off some of the hype value.

http://www.coskata.com/news.html

Well I must admit that I am a little surprised that with such a steep drop in the stock price that we havent had any updates from Tom. Even a bi-monthly update on the website would be nice with so little news coming out people are unloading shares. I guess the next few weeks will be very telling if the silence continues I think were headed even lower. imho

What do the colors mean in the Level II/Depth data area?

In the first two columns of the Level 2 data area, the eight colors are simply used to separate the data . (based on price) In the third - Time & Sales - column (ie. the very right hand side of this area), green, signifies up red signifies down and white signifies no change.

The up and down arrows that appear in the Price columns of the Bid & Ask offer areas of our Level 2 data area are drawn based on the Bid/Ask delta value meaning that the specific Market Maker dropped or lowered their bid/ask value for that specific offer.

The "Exchange" identifier symbols are the Market Maker IDs for the various exchanges placing the bid & ask offers. Most can be clicked to view the details of the Market Maker.

What would really help,with respect to qualifying the value of CLME's cellulosic processing patent...
Would be to determine whether these patents are Platforms, meaning numerous products that will eventually be able to be spun off the platform,or is it only a ''Process'' patent, which has much less value, or is it an individual processing patent,specific to rice straw which arguably would have greater value than a process patent but still significantly less than a platform patent.

CLME also holds a Patent on the process...
I may be naive,but I believe a patent often,not always, holds intrinsic value.
Something for the cut and paste google crowd to ponder.

CLME only for rice straw - Understood.

Thanks that clarifies that the CLME technology is not competative for all cellulosics - for switchgrass etc. rather CLME is aiming specifically at the high silica e.g. rice straw niche. Relative to all cellulosics that reduces the competative segment a lot.

With all due respect, the PNAS article is on switchgrass, not rice straw. Two entirely different feedstocks, requiring different technologies. Rice straw has more silica than switchgrass and requires a different process. The PNAS report is therefore totally irrelevant to CLME.

Yet, I sure wish CLME would give us some concrete news. Starting with what happened to the fall harvest. Did it happen at all?

Reduced CO2 from straw ethanol

A recent report in PNAS suggests that use of straw ethanol may reduce overall CO2 emissions.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7175397.stm

Unfortunately CLME is not in any position to take advantage of this fair wind. Without any evidence of even bench top functioning of the technology. No report back on the fermentation enzymes - see earlier this year and no report on harvesting.

There are plenty of technologies that are 'good to go' on switchgrass - read the article.

CLMEs competitors are able to make speed with this kind of news, while CLMEs sails are flogging. Without some clear news on the viability of very small scale experiments (1 device), some hard data on its output, there is nothing to go on here.

Large plant facility? - build it and they will come?

Looking at Delta-T Corp and knowing other small engineering shops could surely do the same, it appears on the surface -- to me, that designing or design building a plant could not take so long to get off the loafing fixture.

Something is not right here. Obviously enough investors are seeing that to bring down the accepted value by PPS.

I cannot imagine anything so difficult with this project, where if one is reasonably qualified, one could not land funding and permits and be underway enough to be spitting out nice progress reports. This just seemed too easy. I thought surely anyone could put a still together, and answer simple/common questions without hedge.

More on rice straw to ethanol...

http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy05osti/37581.pdf

This is old but I hadn't seen it before. Looks like Gridley Ca. shipped some rice straw to a bio-ethanol plant in Mississipi, as part of a pilot project.

Thanks for the vote of appreciation guys

Japan Plans to Export Production Process for Rice Straw Cellulosic Bioethanol

7 January 2008
The Nikkei reports that the Japanese government plans to develop a low-cost production process for cellulosic bioethanol derived from rice straw, and as early as fiscal 2009 to offer the know-how to other Asian rice-producing countries.

Japan is hoping to secure stable energy sources by supporting other Asian nations in the production of rice straw ethanol, according to the report. Rice straw is not consumed as food and is often discarded.

Sorry, I'm having trouble copying this article. Just click the link to see the rest.

Colusa Biomass signs agreement with BBI Biofuels to design and develop 12.5m gallon biorefinery
Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation, a biomass-to-energy company focusing on biofuels for transportation, announced today that an agreement has been reached with BBI Biofuels International of Denver, Colorado which designates the latter as the designer and developer of a proprietary state-of-the-art biorefinery. The facility will produce biofuels from cellulosic biomass.

Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation is located in the heart of the Sacramento Valley's rice producing area, where it finds its initial feedstock. The company will produce ethanol, silica/sodium oxide and lignin from waste rice straw, waste rice hulls and other cellulosics. The biorefinery will consume approximately 130,000 tons of waste biomass annually, producing 12.5 million gallons (47.3 million liters) of ethanol and 16,800 tons of silica/sodium oxide, commercial carbon dioxide, and a high energy lignin fuel that will be used internally in the plant to reduce the cost of natural gas.

This proprietary design will incorporate the most current developments in systems for the refining of ethanol from agricultural harvest residues such as straw and agricultural wastes. By using harvest waste, nothing is taken from the food supply. When this production model is implemented in the United States, agricultural residues and wastes will be available for refining ethanol to meet the needs of worldwide transportation. - Tom Bowers, Colusa Biomass CEO
BBI International is a company committed to providing the most thorough feasibility studies in the business. Its team of engineers and market specialists has an intimate understanding of bioenergy and agricultural processing research and analysis, through decades of hands on experience. Ethanol and biodiesel projects are at the core of its workload and expertise. BBI International clients include future producers, existing producers, state and federal agencies, and independent research groups:
energy :: sustainability :: biomass :: bioenergy :: biofuels :: ethanol :: ligno-cellulose :: green chemistry :: biorefinery ::

The company has a US patent on a bioconversion technique that can use cellulose to produce ethanol; the starting materials for its process are rice straw and rice hulls, and in the future corn stover and cobs, wheat straw and husks, wood chips from forest slashing, and sawdust from saw mills.

Using 2003 farm data from the US Department of Agriculture and taking into consideration the availability of these cellulose based materials, it has been conservatively estimated that over 1.0 trillion gallons of ethanol could be produced per year from U.S. biomass. This would reduce the importation of the country's oil by an estimated 75%.

Colusa's membrane technology differs from traditional spiral wound membrane systems. A spiral wound membrane, both RO and UF, increases the surface area of the membrane winding a membrane/separator system into the shape of a star. Due to the membrane/separator proximities spiral wound membranes are 'plugged' by particulate matter in the feed liquid.

The Colusa system instead places the membrane directly in contact with the feed liquid and pumping this feed liquid at a high flow rate. This flow rate acts to 'sweep' the membrane and prevents 'plugging'. The niche that Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation's system can fill is its ability to filter thixotropic (viscous) Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. For example, its ulrafiltration system can take tomato juice (Newtonian liquid) and by removing the water, produce tomato paste (non-Newtonian liquid.)

The ultrafiltration can be cast to do a total rejection of 5,000 to 20,000 molecular weight molecules. Large molecules like lignin, enzymes, bacteria, lactose, colloidal matter, fine suspended particulate matter, and proteins will not pass through the membrane.

BBI International is a renewable energy service firm that offers engineering, project development and project feasibility studies to clients worldwide. BBI also publishes Ethanol Producer Magazine, Biodiesel Magazine, and Biomass Magazine, as well as renewable energy publications in Canada and Australia. Each year, a BBI event planning team organizes some of the larger biofuels and biomass conferences:

I appreciate Mthead's posts too
It does not appear that the CLME management are willing to provide public information on the investor issues that have been raised on this board.
Private information by telephone to individuals - subsequently posted - has no value whatsoever. Only public announcements have any credibility and accountability.
Contributors to this board have repeatedly tried to communicate their concerns and the information they would like from CLME management.
CLME management has also posted news of potential activities, that have not been followed up.
CLME news has all but dried up and it looks like this technology has missed the (cellulosic ethanol) boat.
I don't see any evidence that there is a viable technology here.
Anyone want to buy 5 bales of rice straw? Oops - we don't know what the harvest was this year yet.

Mthead, I enjoy your posts and voicing of your concerns. Please keep them coming when you've got them.

I, guessing, think grain is about to go up sharply. China now using grain out of their gov stock piles, feeding a rueling economy and inflation. US dollar with its own implications in that. If grain goes up? It is good for some things and bad for others as we each can surmise.

Bad for grain based ethanol. SO CLME is not food source ethanol. But distribution is rooted in ALL ethanol. Therefore this can be bad for us too.

Governments, big Sam particularly, need to make better commitments to ethanol for investments therein to be less risky. A bit of waiting on a front or two, bill and lobby, and a known election might(?) reward in benefits.

Also, though I am likely ignorant here, the ethanol field seems to be developing its tech rapidly, while protection through patents seem weak...each ideasman with one to few patents for protection. Mostly I see this still/plant making a use of known construction designs by way of cleaver interpretation. I think once one builds one, instantly one sees a better way to do things...upon building the next, right away better and more efficient ways of seeing things, and so it goes.

I once had an idea, which turned out to be of very few and not easily protected patents, for a blooming and novel industry. It was extremely heavy, k's of parts, shipping a nightmare. Everything, I had to firsthand idealize...layout of the plant, its optimum size as well; where or what fields I would draw employees from; types and systems of inside and outside sales; loaded investors had to be found, they were ignorant also!; systems for everything had to be originated, no plan or example existed before us. States and feds had to develope ways of fitting us in their dominance, complete with new certifications and licenses a small few of which I took the exams for the first time anyone took them. Quality control, while being spied by gov's (using some of their own former burger flippers, lol), on a new industry is a cursing word nightmare.

Some competitors sit back to watch. Later they even tried to hire me. They likely gained a great deal by waiting to see how things were generally done. How we set up the plants, did sales, the quiality control "nightmare", the trucking system, crane use, rigging, engineering that could easily be designed "beside". Yes, that compitition gained by watching a moment until the wheel was rolling...did not have to have the pit of ignorant investors we did, who caused so much trouble from the inside. Waiting a bit helped them.

Though, previously I was and remained a successfull commercial bldgs contractor right through the manufacturing years, I did retire at 47 and went to college for my first time....loved it, thanks. Most said I would be back to the work, I was right when I disagreed. Starting a new industry, to whatever degree I did, took a huge toll.

My buying and holding (I do) a pink is not a reflection of good choices, for me, I think. If I am making excuses for them, this reflects bad choices.

Name ID for being first is of no use in some fields.

But I question why this or anything is taken public before an item is made. A taco stand does more business. I found that first talk of going public was but always based in greed and fortune, by people who generally refered to *themselves* as "entrepreneur" or perhaps as "Mister". Mothers love them.

The reality of CLME is that it is a risky stock just like any other pink sheet stock. I do believe that as investor with a large investment in CLME that we are in a much better place than we were 12 months ago. If commercialized cellulosic ethanol biorefineries were so easy to build they would be building them all over the world.

There is a very good reason why the "experts" think that commercialized cellulosic biorefineries are still 4 - 5 years away. The technology is in the final stages of being tweaked to lower the cost and increase the output of these facilities.

I really don't care if people buy or sell this stock but it is important to note that we have made some good progress in recent months. If Tom is able to continue to make these small steps into 2008 I for one will be a very happy investor.

"mthead...my point was what was Publicly stated as in a pr.
"

I think you're splitting hairs. Depends on how you define "Publicly".

My point is I don't like reading posts that infer I'm less than truthful. Especially not from a board moderator.

It seems you're still interested in this company so why don't you give Tom Bowers a call yourself and find out what he's willing to share with an interested investor,instead of yelling at him on this board.

Yes, I am still interested and I've done better than calling Bowers. At my request, two members of my fourum who live near Calusa Ca. have spoken with Bowers. One offered to help guide him through the CA. permit process because Bowers seemed uh...less than knowledgeable in that area.

A good reason NOT to phone Bowers is that he's been "willing to share" information that wasn't accurate with interested investors. Ground breaking is a very good example!

mthead...my point was what was Publicly stated as in a pr.

Nowhere,to my knowledge,has CLME stated in a pr that construction has begun.
Everone is impatient to see the construction of a plant.Myself included,but its a process.

You yourself admitted to having sold your shares.Good for you.Nothing wrong with taking a profit.

It seems you're still interested in this company so why don't you give Tom Bowers a call yourself and find out what he's willing to share with an interested investor,instead of yelling at him on this board.

New Energy Bill: Big Winners Are Biofuel Co's and Major Oil Co's
posted on: December 16, 2007
The United States Senate passed the Energy Bill 86-8 after $13 billion in oil company taxes were dropped from the bill.

Voting on an earlier version of the bill with the tax package still included, the Senate came up one vote short (59-40) of ending a filibuster staged by Senate Republicans in support of the oil companies. The bill will now go to the House where it is expected to pass, and the President is expected to sign the legislation into law before the end of the year.

The Bill mandates that 36 billion gallons of biofuel fuel consumption by 2022, or more than 25 percent of total fuel use based on 2006 consumption.

The big winners here clearly are both the biofuels industry, lead by Archer Daniel's Midland (ADM), Pacific Ethanol (PEIX) and Verasun (VSE) and oil companies like Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) who avoided a large tax increase. Actually, consumers are the winners in the tax break, because if anyone thinks for a minute these taxes would not have been passed onto us, they are void of any reality. That is not to say the oil companies are bad, it's just the reality.

That being said, lets look at the biofuel mandate. Clearly we cannot get 36 billion gallons of ethanol from corn at current production capabilities. Now that we have acknowledged that, do we really think that we will be producing the fuel exactly the same way 15 years from now? When you consider we get almost 30% more yield per bushel that we did 5 years ago, serious progress is being made.

Notice also the mandate is for "biofuels", not just "ethanol". That includes biodiesel in the mix. The largest US biodiesel producer is ADM. Now we have the ability in the US to dramatically expand the biodiesel use, and recent breakthroughs in that arena can give us a clue into what can happen in the ethanol arena.

In Germany, Choren Industries announced recently that it will build a 57 Mgy biodiesel plant in Schwedt. The plant, scheduled to open in late 2010, will use a second-generation process, called biomass-to-liquid, which uses sawdust and wood chips as feedstock among other waste materials. The plant will eventually have five production units and has a total planned capacity of 285 Mgy by 2015. Choren’s first commercial-scale plant, which will produce 4 Mgy of biodiesel from wood waste, opens in spring 2008 in Freiburg.

This is essentially the "cellulose" process that had been so touted as the answer. It is too. We can currently produce ethanol from biomass using similar processes, we are now working on making them economically viable. Costs have fallen dramatically in only the past two years and most in the industry feel it is only a couple years before we begin production this way.

While it may seem a lofty goal, when one sits back and looks at it and notices the advancements done in the area just in the past two years, the goal seems like the current "ethanol mandate", a mandate that the biofuels industry will blow right past when the time comes.

There will be some big winners with cellulosic ethanol soon. Will CLME be among them? We need less talk and more action from Tom Bowers.

Here's the post!

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=18407446
"I talked with CEO Bowers on the phone late Friday. He says that construction has already started on the 10 million gal/year plant. Still on schedule to start up late this year or at beginning of next year at worst."

I don't pump and I don't bash. I do make money. Pumping and bashing are counter productive. Pumpers on public boards cause people to lose thousands.

"Also,contrary to what someone recently posted on this board,nowhere has Colusa publicly stated the commencement of construction on a plant.
The closest they've come to announcing construction has been the following preliminary study."

futrcash, you should read the posts on your own board before politely calling me a liar.....

Like this one: On 2/19 Tom stated that the construction would start in sixty days. If we don't hear anything by the beginning of May I'll be contacting Tom for an update. It would be nice to see a pr in the next few weeks updating investors as to the status of the project. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=18170332

Or this one:
I recently sent an email to Tom Bowers with a few questions about the financing and construction of the biorefinery. I was impressed with his quick and insightful reply. The plan is still on track and the construction will begin in April.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=17229112

In fact, you, yourself, reported construction would begin last April in post #640: "In a conversation with Tom last week,he indicated CLME will be breaking ground on the Colusa Plant sometime in April.

futrcash"

I can't find the post but Bowers did indeed tell someone here that Colusa had "Broken Ground" when they hadn't. I don't try to deceive anyone with my posts.

Agree that while timelines are longer than initially projected...
we need to remember that CLME has already established worthwhile business associations with the Chinese amongst others...
Also,contrary to what someone recently posted on this board,nowhere has Colusa publicly stated the commencement of construction on a plant.
The closest they've come to announcing construction has been the following preliminary study.

Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation (PINKSHEETS: CLME) today announced the closing of a successful negotiation for a sale of equity to Mr. Eoghan Flanagan, a highly successful hedge fund manager. In addition to Mr. Flanagan’s significant equity purchase, he has accepted the invitation of the Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation Board of Directors to join the Board. Mr. Flanagan has a considerable background in international financial markets.

Tom Bowers, CLME President, said, “I am particularly delighted that Mr. Flanagan has joined the Board of CLME. With his international experience and background, CLME can accelerate its examination of the continuing inquiries from abroad into the technologies we have developed for the conversion of biomass to ethanol. Over the past several months CLME has received many inquiries from all over the world. With Eoghan leading the evaluation of these business opportunities, the balance of the management team and I can continue to focus on bringing our California ethanol bio-refinery operations online as planned for 4th quarter 2007. These steps will greatly enhance CLME’s position for international and domestic growth.”

Eoghan Flanagan said, “Cellulosic ethanol has been an area of great interest to me for some time. During my research of this technology, I found Colusa Biomass to be the state-of-the-art leader in this area. I am very excited to make this investment and to be part of CLME’s future.”

About Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation

Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation (PINKSHEETS: CLME) in planning to build a bio-refinery which is engineered to convert waste rice straw residue into ethanol. The plant is based on CLME patented and proprietary technologies that converts waste biomass into ethanol for use in transportation fuels. It is important to note that the CLME technology takes nothing from the food stream but only consumes waste biomass such as straws, wood chips, forest slash and orchards trimmings.

Yes, but if you look across the cellulosic ethanol spectrum, everything is taking longer than anticipated.

"We are thrilled to be working with Colusa Biomass on this exciting project. Our Process Engineering Team is second to none in understanding cellulose-to-ethanol technology and implementing viable solutions in the near term," says Mark Yancey, Vice President of BBI Project Development. "Together with Colusa we will develop a technology package that will be implemented on a global scale to produce clean, renewable bio-ethanol."

This is a "very significant" pr imho. The Harris Group confirmed the science and economics of CLME's biorefinery. Toupai has expressed interest in developing multiple biorefineries in China. Now we have BBI signing on to design and engineer the first biorefinery for CLME. This has all happened in the last 9 months. I wonder what 2008 will bring? Time will tell.
