Leading Biomass Conversion Authority Joins Raven's Technology Advisory Team

ATLANTA, GA, Dec 21, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Raven Biofuels International Corporation (PINKSHEETS: RVBF) ("Raven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Jacqueline Broder has joined Raven's Technical Advisory Board.
Jacqueline holds an M.S., Agriculture in Agricultural Engineering from Purdue University. She has 25 years of experience specific to biomass conversion and acid hydrolysis during her tenure as a project engineer with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). As a Project Engineer, she was involved in the research and development and economic evaluation of biomass conversion technology. Her experience has included design and management of research, bench-scale, and pilot-scale testing; evaluation and correlation of data resulting from various testing programs; design, equipment specification, start-up, and operation of pilot plant; assessment of feedstocks for availability and composition; and modeling of processes and using models to evaluate economic feasibility of generic and specific process systems. Her work has involved management of numerous contracts, directing the work of TVA employees and outside University and private consultants, interacting with the public, preparing and presenting technical reports and papers, preparing quarterly technical reports, and proposal writing. Jacqueline has served on several USDA and DOE proposal review panels and stage-gate reviews.

John Sams, President of Raven, commented, "Having access to Jacqueline's knowledge and experience with converting biomass to ethanol ('cellulosic ethanol') is an incredibly valuable asset. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with our advisors and are grateful for their involvement."

The Energy Independence and Security Act, signed in December 2007, calls for 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022, of which 11 billion gallons must come from cellulosic, non-food ethanol. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 calls for $90 billion to be invested into clean energy technologies by 2025.

The production of cellulosic ethanol could play a major role in the Unites States energy independence as it has in Brazil. Transportation fuels made from waste and biomass represent a viable clean fuel option that can play a part in reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions that cause global warming while keeping American's money in America. Energy security is a key factor to National security and strong economy.

Major Benefits of Cellulosic Ethanol

Air Pollution Reduction- there is a significant decrease in the amount of CO2 that is release when cellulosic ethanol is produced
Green House Gas Reduction- total decrease in the amount of total green house gas emissions
Increased Conversion Potential- fewer steps used to break down waste means more cellulosic ethanol energy return
Produced from Agricultural Waste- cellulosic ethanol is produced from waste and therefore does not negatively impact our natural food resources.
Life-cycle analysis at Argonne National Laboratory shows CO2 emissions from cellulosic ethanol to be 85% lower than those from gasoline

Raven Biofuels International Announces Canadian Partner


ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/30/09 --

Raven Biofuels International Corporation (PINKSHEETS: RVBF) ("Raven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a Canadian partner to advance its technology and develop Canadian projects


Raven Biofuels Ltd. (RBL) is a Canadian Corporation established to develop technologies for the production of biofuels and renewable chemicals in conjunction with the forestry sector and pursue Canadian opportunities in Bioenergy and Clean Technology. Under its proposed agreement with Raven Biofuels International Corp (RBIC) RBL will pay RBIC a fee to be negotiated for the exclusive rights to RBIC's technology ("the technology") for Canada. RBIC and RBL will jointly develop the technology through to commercialisation. RBIC has also contributed relationships and know-how for fibre supply and a proposed site to build the first commercial scale biorefinery in Kamloops, British Columbia, which will form a Joint Venture (JV) with the Kamploops Indian Band (KIB) to be called the Tk'emlúps Biorefinery. RBIC will further retain certain distribution and marketing rights to the products made from the proposed Canadian refinery, advisory fees and rights to participate in financing and as an equity partner. RBIC has loaned an initial $170,000 to RBL in conjunction with the Tk'emlúps Biorefinery JV to be used for initial studies, engineering and testing


The proposed Tk'emlúps Biorefinery will require a continuous fibre supply of 500 dry tons per day in order to produce its initial output of 11 MGY (million gallons per year) of fuel grade ethanol and green chemicals as well as lignin. It is planned that The Kamloops Indian Band (KIB) will be the primary fibre supplier for the biorefinery. The biorefinery design will be scalable to increase output once capacity is reached. It is anticipated that the biorefinery will create up to 30 direct full-time jobs for the community of Kamloops and a number of other indirect jobs in the forestry and transportation sectors


John Sams, President of RBIC, added that "Having a Canadian Partner will accelerate commercialization of Raven's technology and ensure the success of the Tk'emlúps project. There are many attractive elements to the Canadian project that will be appropriately managed and operated from a local level. Having the right people on the ground is the key to success."


The climate for Bioenergy in British Columbia is very proactive from the municipal level up to the Government. The BC Bioenergy Strategy has established $25 million in funding for a provincial Bioenergy Network for greater investment and innovation in B.C. bioenergy projects and technologies. Bioenergy is absolutely critical to achieving B.C.'s climate goals and economic objectives. It turns the challenges of the mountain pine beetle infestation into new opportunities and looks to future bioenergy technologies. The Provincial Government's aim is for B.C. biofuel production to meet 50 per cent or more of the province's renewable fuel requirements by 2020, which supports the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. The Raven Tk'emlúps Biorefinery JV is one of the projects that could assist in meeting these goals for BC

Raven Projects
Raven will build, own and operate all of its own plants and will seek equity partners worldwide. Our technology has been tested for commercial operation and allows us to convert cellulosic waste streams (like wood and agriculture waste) into high value ethanol and derivative furfural chemicals.

Raven expects to build several bio-refineries over the next five years. Each biorefinery is being designed to produce an initial capacity of more than 10 million gallons per year (10 MPGY) of ethanol and high value furfural chemicals. We intend to significantly increase the initial capacity of our early biorefineries in future expansions. Our planned project is Mississippi would use local wood waste as feedstock. Our second project to be located in British Columbia, Canada is proposed as utilizing pine beetle infested wood for feedstock. This feedstock is readily available and unusable for other applications.

All of our production will come from cellulosic waste streams rather than expensive corn or sugar. Making renewable fuels from cellulosic materials can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by over 80%.

Numerous other projects in North America and around the world are under development.

Furfural
Furfural is an industrial chemical derived from a variety of agricultural byproducts like sugar cane bagasse and corn cobs using our process. Its chemical formula is C5 H4 O2. In its pure state, it is a colorless oily liquid with the odor of almonds, but upon exposure to air it quickly becomes yellow. Many plant materials contain the hemicellulose, a polymer of sugars containing five carbon atoms each. When heated with sulfuric acid, hemicellulose undergoes hydrolysis to yield these sugars, principally xylose. Under the same conditions of heat and acid, xylose and other five carbon sugars become dehydrated, losing three water molecules to become furfural:


Furfural is used as a solvent in petrochemical refining and is used to create various lubricants. Furfural, as well as its derivative furfuryl alcohol, can be used either by themselves or together with other chemicals to make solid resins. Such resins are used in making fiberglass, some aircraft components, and automotive brakes. There is a worldwide market for this chemical in many industries.

Raven Biofuels Technology:
Raven and its technology partners have been leading the charge to develop technologies and processes that will transform cellulosic waste biomass into renewable fuels. To date we have achieved the following milestones:

$24,000,000 invested in R&D
9 US patents in three principle areas; process patents for separating sugars to make ethanol and high value chemicals, fuel additives and diesel fuel mixtures.
21 International Patents Granted including Europe, Japan, China, India.
Extensive independent testing of technology since 1997 with conclusively positive results.
The technology that Raven has chosen to commercialize is based on Acid Hydrolysis and further proprietary technology which can produce high value specialty chemicals from agriculture waste products, hence reducing the production cost of ethanol below $1.00 per gallon.

The technology is based on a two stage dilutive acid hydrolysis process. It essentially works by breaking down bio matter, such as wood chips, corn stover, and sugarcane bagasse into primary sugar streams that are then converted into a suite of chemicals including ethanol. Raven management believes this technology is superior to other cellulosic production methods in use today.
