Press Release Summary = With oil consumers turning towards using biofuels to help
reduce pollution and govt.’s willingness to subsidize biofuels distributing
companies, crude oil prices are likely to drop to US$ 40 per barrel in near future.

Press Release Body = In New York prices of crude oil are expected to slide to US$ 40
per barrel, with rising supplies of biofuel shaving demand growth of traditional
auto fuel, as per Tetsu Emori – chief commodities strategist with Mitsui
Bussan Futures of Japan.

Oil consumers who want to contribute in reducing pollution are increasingly using
fuels & additives derived from soybean, corn, oilseed, and sugarcane. This switch
might result in money to shift from oil futures on New York Mercantile Exchange to
Chicago’s grain futures market.

Biofuels are expected to make up nearly 7% of worldwide transportation energy by the
year 2030, if International Energy Agency’s policies are implemented by the
government for promoting alternatives to oil.

Emori said that biofuels could mark the beginning of a great revolution, perhaps
ending the vertical increase in crude oil prices that’s been observed over the
past few years. Thereby, attracting pension & commodity fund managers to invest
money into grains. “A US$ 78.40 per barrel record that was set on July 14
could be the zenith of oil over the years until the end of 2010”, further
added Emori.

As per a Research Analyst’s view at RNCOS, who has recently done a report
named “Biofuel Market Worldwide (2006)”, “Growth in demand for
diesel and gasoline may slow down dramatically, if the govt. subsidizes firms
distributing biofuels & further pushes to promote the use of eco-friendly fuel.”
