EPI's
most recent media coverage
| September 14, 2006 - Dallas, TX - Panda Ethanol Inc. was joined
today by officials from across the state to break ground on the company's
100 million gallon-per-year ethanol plant in Hereford, Texas. When
finished, the first-of-its-kind facility will be one of the most energy
efficient ethanol refineries in the nation and the largest biomass fueled
ethanol plant in the United States. |
| September 2006 -
EPI
was selected to provide the ethanol industry's first fluidized bed energy
system that converts cow manure into usable energy. |
| September 2006 -
EPI
was selected to provide the technology for the conversion of an existing
grate boiler to an advanced technology fluidized bed staged gasifier for a
confidential client on the east coast of the US. |
| May 2006 - EPI
was selected to provide an advanced clean-coal fluidized bed system for the
Corn, LP ethanol production facility in Goldfield, Iowa. |

Black & Veatch and Energy Products of Idaho
(EPI)
have announced results of a study examining the technical feasibility and
economic viability of biomass as a supplementary fuel source in existing power
plants.
The study, conducted in conjunction with the
Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), identified a promising green power
alternative that uses biomass gasification. Employing biomass gasification at
existing power plants can improve air quality and provide green power at a
considerably lower cost compared to the development of a new biomass power
plant. Biomass
gasification technology uses any material of biological origin, such as wood
waste, agricultural residues, and yard waste as fuel, converting the energy of
the solid biomass waste into a low-Btu biogas. The study determined that the
substitution of biogas for a percentage of coal can significantly reduce NOx,
SO2, mercury, carbon dioxide and other pollutants, especially when
the biogas is used in a reburn configuration. Another potential advantage is
that renewable biomass fuels can be purchased at low cost, which enhances the
profitability of existing fossil fuel assets.

WESTERN REGIONAL BIOMASS ENERGY PROGRAM FINAL REPORT
|
| December, 2001 - Black & Veatch, Energy Products of Idaho (EPI)
and Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) announced today that they have been
selected by the Western Regional Biomass Energy Program (WRBEP), funded by the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), to perform a feasibility study of an add-on
fluidized bed biomass gasifier at an NPPD coal power plant. |
| May, 2000 - EPI was
selected to provide a fluidized bed energy system to convert paper sludge into
usable energy in Italy. This plant is EPI's third installation in Italy. |

technology was featured in the May 2000 issue of the Spanish magazine "InfoPower" |
Europe's Landfill Alternative
"Waste-to-Energy" - SWT June 1999
| Difficult fuels and stringent emissions requirements influence Europe's
preference to convert waste to energy. A preferred process uses
EPI's clean fluidized bed technology.

| The EPI supplied
combustion system was subject to some of the tightest emission constraints
imposed on a solid fuel fired system of this size, and is operating at a
fraction of the permitted emission levels. |
| Shippenville, PA - Environmental and performance testing of new plant
proves clean stacks with worst case fuels. |
Current Projects
| EPI has six ethanol energy system projects in various stages of
design, manufacture, construction or commissioning. These
energy systems are fueled on biomass or coal. |
