Conference

PLEASANTON, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Fulcrum BioEnergy, Inc., a leader
in the next generation of domestic renewable biofuels, today announced that
its President and CEO, E. James Macias, will be speaking at the Platts 2nd
Annual Advanced Biofuels Conference. Mr. Macias will participate in a panel
discussion titled "Thermochemical Platforms for Advanced Biofuels - State of
the Industry." The conference will take place at the Marriott Washington in
Washington, DC on June 4 and June 5. Mr. Macias' presentation is scheduled for
11:00 a.m. ET on June 4.

Fulcrum has developed a proven approach for creating advanced biofuels
utilizing new technologies in an innovative, clean, efficient and proven
thermochemical process. The company has a significant pipeline of project
opportunities in 20 states with the capacity to generate more than 1.3 billion
gallons of cellulosic ethanol annually.

The Sierra BioFuels Plant, Fulcrum's first commercial project, is scheduled to
enter construction later this year. Located 20 miles east of Reno, Nevada,
the plant is designed to process post-recycled municipal solid waste - garbage
that would otherwise be landfilled - and produce 10.5 million gallons of
cellulosic ethanol annually. The Sierra BioFuels Plant will be the first of a
fleet of larger plants located across the U.S. creating a low-cost, reliable
source of domestic renewable transportation fuels helping alleviate the
Nation's dependence on foreign oil, significantly reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, relieving pressure on existing landfills and creating thousands of
new, green jobs.
