Latin American Biofuel Technology Trends: It is Time for R&D to Step Up and Move Biofuels Forward on in the Region

   Frost & Sullivan to Host Quarterly Analyst Briefing on Chemicals,
            Materials and Food on Wednesday, July 30, 2008
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina--(Business Wire)--
Frost & Sullivan will host a live briefing on Wednesday, July 30,
at 1:00 PM EDT to provide industry participants an overview of a
recently published study focused on Biofuels Technologies.

   Research and Development (R&D) has achieved an important relevance
in the biofuels industry, as Latin America is becoming a key player in
the region. New feedstock, lower production costs and enhancing
existing production lines are some of the issues R&D has to solve.
Highlights of the briefing include: biofuel technology trends and,
challenges and opportunities for biofuel R&D in Latin America.

   This briefing is based upon ongoing Industrial analysis and it
will benefit: biofuel producers, feedstock producers, biofuel
technology providers and investors interested in the market. It will
provide a good picture of what is the role R&D plays in the biofuels
industry.

   "Latin America biofuels industry has a unique opportunity to
exploit a global problem. R&D has to drive biofuel companies in the
region to a new level. World wide feedstock problems, "food vs.
biofuel" discussions and the impressive investment in biofuels have
created a great opportunity for Latin America to become a very
important player in the market. In order to do so, R&D plays a crucial
role," concludes Tomas Piccinini, Research Associate, for Frost &
Sullivan's Chemical Materials And Food Group.

   Frost & Sullivan will hold this live briefing at 12 PM CDT / 1:00
PM EDT on Wednesday, July 30, 2008, which will provide industry
participants an outlook on Latin American Biofuel Technologies Trends.
