COLUMBIA, Md., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Renewable
fuels provider New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:
NGBF) ("NGBF" or the "Company") today announced they have
filed a patent application on their new glycerin-based
biofuel.
"We are excited to add this technology to our intellectual
property portfolio," said Cary J.
Claiborne, CEO and President of NGBF. "This new
technological development allows us to use glycerin as a primary
feedstock to formulate our highly stable new biofuel which
complements our existing products and will be an additional
offering we have for the markets we serve."
"This new patent pending technology offers another effective
biofuel solution for our customers' environmental and performance
challenges," added Chief Technology Officer Dr. Andrea Festuccia. "It is formulated, as
are our other technologies, to reduce emissions while providing
physical product properties that are desirable for many of our
customers' needs. The low viscosity and temperature
characteristics such as an extremely low pour point should be very
attractive for many of the markets we serve. In addition,
converting from existing liquid fuels to our technology should
require little if any modifications to existing fuel combustion
systems."
"As a biofuel technology company we have a very aggressive and
focused research and development program led by Dr. Festuccia that
addresses a number of important and differentiating areas," stated
Mr. Claiborne. "From our wide array of approved feedstocks
addressing security of supply and cost issues to new patent pending
products such as this new glycerin-based biofuel technology, Andrea
and his team provide technology that creates unique solutions for
our customers. Our R&D programs make a difference."
