| SYNTEC HITS A HIGH OF 110 GPT OF FUEL ALCOHOLS
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 30th, 2008 - Syntec Biofuel Inc
(OTC.B.B. 'SYBF'), a company developing biomass to fuel
conversion technologies, announced today they have, over the past
30 days, consistently achieved over 110 gallons of alcohols
(ethanol, methanol, n-butanol and n-propanol) per ton (U.S.) per
ton of biomass.
Dr. George Kosanovich, CEO, 'We believe the improved results
demonstrate that our thermo-chemical catalysts offer a solid
commercial route for the highly efficient and environmentally
sound conversion of waste biomass into alcohols.
'It is important to note that the laboratory work was carried out
to industry accepted standards and the results include an
assumption of only 33% of conversion efficiency in the process
which we expect to constantly improve,' he stated
Michael Jackson, President and Chairman, said, 'The thermo-
chemical processing of gasified waste biomass not only has an
economic future, but can also address many of the current issues
besetting biofuels produced from high-priced food crops.
'Waste biomass, whether it be in the form of corn stover,
sugarcane bagasse, MSW or wood chips, provides an enormous,
global biofuel feedstock resource that is sustainable, economic,
carbon neutral and is, importantly, protective of food
production.'
The Syntec B2A ('biomass to alcohol') technology, initially
developed at the University of British Columbia, is focused on
second-generation cellulosic ethanol production.
ABOUT THE SYNTEC PROCESS
Syntec's innovative technology uses any renewable waste biomass
such as hard or soft wood, sawdust or bark, organic waste,
agricultural waste (including sugar cane bagasse and corn
stover), and switch-grass to produce syngas. This syngas,
comprised of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is then scrubbed and
passed through a fixed bed reactor containing the Syntec
catalysts to produce ethanol, methanol and higher order alcohols.
The Syntec technology can also produce alcohols from biogas
(sourced from anaerobic digestion of manure and effluent),
landfill gas or stranded methane.
