Algenol Biofuels, developers of DIRECT TO ETHANOL(TM), the most advanced third generation biofuels technology, today announced the official opening of the Company's U.S. headquarters in Naples, Florida. The new headquarters joins established locations in Baltimore, Maryland and Palm Beach county Florida. The office will house the Company's business development and executive teams.

"The opening of our Florida offices is a significant milestone in our company's continued growth," said Paul Woods, co-founder and CEO of Algenol Biofuels. "The establishment of our North American headquarters underscores our commitment to bringing affordable biofuel options to the U.S. as we look to lessen our dependence on foreign fuel sources and reducing CO2 levels."

Algenol's Direct to Ethanol(TM) process links photosynthesis with the natural enzymes to produce ethanol inside each tiny algae cell and does not use food, farmland, or fresh water. The Company currently has the capability of producing ethanol at a rate of over 6,000 gallons per acre per year and will be producing ethanol for commercial sales in 2009.
