BlueFire CEO Arnold Klann will give BlueFire's presentation on Wednesday, February 20, at 9:30 a.m. in the Miranda 7 Room. The presentation, entitled "Progress in Cellulosic Ethanol Production: Case Study of the BlueFire Ethanol Production Process and Projects," will be part of a larger panel discussion, "Ethanol: The Successes, The Challenges, The Solutions," which will be moderated by John Hammond of the U.S. Energy Association.

Additionally, at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 20, Mr. Klann will participate in a panel discussion entitled "Financing to Market: Waste-to-Energy Facilities," which will be held in the Brasilia 7 Room.

Throughout the entire conference, look for BlueFire Ethanol at Booth # 301.

POWER-GEN Renewable Energy & Fuels' three days of information exchange and fast-track networking attracts the biggest names in the renewable energy industry to discuss technical, strategic, regulatory, structural, and economic issues including wind, solar, biomass and alternative fuels, and hydro and geothermal sectors.

BlueFire Ethanol is one of six ethanol companies awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its planned ethanol production facility, which will convert cellulosic wastes diverted from landfills in Southern California into renewable fuel. The DOE facility will produce approximately 17 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year from green waste, wood waste, and other cellulosic urban wastes.

In addition, BlueFire is also in the process of obtaining all necessary permits to commence construction of a smaller facility near Lancaster, California. The Lancaster plant will produce 3.1 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year from the cellulosic fraction of post-sorted municipal solid waste. By locating biorefineries directly in the markets with the highest demand for ethanol, BlueFire Ethanol utilizes its technology to help cities manage landfill waste -- solving two problems for the price of one.

About BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc.:

BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc. was established to deploy the commercially ready, patented, and proven Concentrated Acid Hydrolysis Process for the profitable conversion of cellulosic ("Green Waste") waste materials to ethanol, a viable alternative to gasoline. BlueFire's use of the Process Technology positions it as the only cellulose-to-ethanol company worldwide with demonstrated production of ethanol from urban trash (post-sorted MSW), rice and wheat straws, wood waste and other agricultural residues. Our goal is to develop and operate high-value carbohydrate-based transportation fuel production facilities. These "biorefineries" will convert widely available, inexpensive, organic materials such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose from MSW into ethanol. BlueFire intends to build a multinational company that leads the world in producing biobased transportation fuels. Its business will encompass development activities leading to the construction and long-term operation of production facilities while maintaining technological advantage and ownership of the process technology and all its improvements. Ethanol will be produced from biorefinery facilities opportunistically constructed on or near landfills, waste collection and waste separation sites. Each facility will deploy the proprietary technology, which uses all cellulosic waste materials traditionally disposed of in landfills as feedstock. www.BlueFireEthanol.com
