Press Release Summary = A Belgian and Dutch investors’ consortium, after
acquiring a methanol plant in the Netherlands, is equipped to transform the plant
into the 1st bio-methanol plant in the world.

Press Release Body = A syndicate of Belgian and Dutch investors is said to have
acquired a methanol plant in the Netherlands. The consortium intends to convert it
into the first bio-methanol plant in the world, which will produce one billion
liters of green petrol every year.

The plant in Delfzijl - Northeast of Netherlands from DSM, Dynea, and Akzo Nobel -
has been acquired by the investors namely BioMethanol Chemie Holding. A few months
back this plant was pulled out of production, due to stiff competition from oil
producing countries that make use of their superfluous natural gas for producing
inexpensive fossil methanol.

In the coming months, necessary changes would be made and then the plant would start
exclusive production of bio-methanol. This plant would be the first bio-methanol
plant in the world with substantial capacity, as per the CEO of BioMethanol Chemie
Paul Hamm.

The plant will make use of an innovative and highly efficient process for making
bio-methanol through glycerin, an offshoot of bio-diesel, which is also a sort of
renewable green fuel derived from oil containing plants.

Expressing his views on this subject a research analyst at RNCOS, who has recently
done a report named “Biofuel Market Worldwide (2006)”, said,
“There’s a great demand for production of biofuel. Since, it’s a
better, economical, and no doubt more environment friendly way of adding
bio-components than ethanol’s usage. And, Dutch could poise a big challenge
before other countries by augmenting its biofuel production.”
