Ludlow Energy Ventures Initiates Research Coverage on Earth BioFuels (EBOF)
Last Updated: July 07, 2008 - 2:30pm EST
(NEW YORK)-- New York based
Ludlow Energy Ventures, Inc initiates research coverage on Earth
BioFuels, Inc. (OTC: EBOF), a producer and distributor of biodiesel
fuel through wholesale and retail, with a 'speculative' B rating.
SUMMARY
Earth Biofuels, Inc. recently came out with an announcement today on the
closing of the share exchange with PNG Ventures for the acquisition of Earth
Biofuels subsidiary - Applied LNG Technologies. This acquisition will be
done in exchange for the transfer to EBOF for a majority ownership in PNG
Ventures Inc. This strategic
acquisition will position EBOF to focus on their core cellulosic ethanol and
biodiesel production business. In addition to this, it will allow PNGX to
focus solely on the development of producing and distributing liquefied
natural gas as a potential transportation fuel and allow current
shareholders of EBOF to reap the benefits of the company's growth.
The companies three
main components in which they are focusing on for further development are:
BioWillie
Biodiesel - The company plans
to continue this production and marketing segment via the ongoing and
licensing and distribution of "BioWillie" Biodiesel fuel. Critical to
biodiesel production is control of economical feedstock oils - the company
has heighten focus on this aspect. The company through there wholly owned
subsidiary - Earth Biofuels Distribution Company Inc, will market the
BioWillie B20 brand through its blending facilities and fuel pump locations.
Willie's Place at Carl's Corner - Earth
BioFuel's is also involved in the rebuilding of this one of a kind full
service truck stop and entertainment destination, slated for its grand
opening later in the summer of 2008. This will allow for the further
development of the company's retail distribution and sales objectives.
Cellulosic Ethanol Production - The
company is also continuing to explore the development and potential
production of ethanol for a cellulosic based feedstock. The company's
management team is keen on expanding and focusing on the development of this
key business through enhanced investment in R&D and strategic partnerships
with leaders in industry.
RESEARCH OPINION

biodiesel production operations while adding extreme shareholder value
through there majority stake in PNG Ventures. Thus, Ludlow Energy
Ventures has commenced research coverage on EBOF, with a 'speculative' B
rating.
