Kreido Biofuels and the US EPA Expand Team Collaboration Working to Advance Green and Sustainable Chemistry

Camarillo, California – February 15, 2007 Kreido Biofuels, Inc. (OTC: KRBF.OB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) announced today an expanded collaboration under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), to develop and commercialize green and sustainable chemistries. Prior research with the EPA has yielded substantial results, creating the need to expand this effort with additional resources to explore and exploit several new opportunities of interest. Through an existing CRADA, Kreido Biofuels intends to provide the US EPA its state of the art Magellan® STT® system for bench scale research and development, as well as augment the research team with two University of California Berkeley scientists. Dr. Robert G. Bergman and Dr. Jonathon A. Ellman will serve as advisors to the partnership. This continued alliance underscores both organizations’ common goal of working to develop sustainable chemistries that not only benefit the environment, but also play a commercially positive role in chemical design by streamlining production methods and reducing the amount of energy required.

“In our broad experience in the areas of chemical reactions and pollution prevention, we have found that the unique mixing pattern of the STT® System can dramatically improve reaction rates and product selectivity under process intensified conditions,” stated Dr. Michael Gonzalez, primary investigator for the Green Chemistry and Engineering for Chemical Synthesis project at the National Risk Management Research Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Magellan® benchtop system which utilizes Kreido Biofuels’ STT® (Spinning Tube-in-Tube) technology is capable of sustaining moderate temperatures and pressures within a relatively small working volume. The Magellan® benchtop system is specifically designed for early stage research and development due to its need for only small amounts of chemicals to explore chemical reactions. The Company believes that the system is ideal for applications where the reactants are expensive or hazardous such as in pharmaceutical and biofuels development. The Company further believes that experiments can be performed in a minimal amount of time and require simple support equipment. Incorporating STT® technology, the Company believes that the Magellan® unit can in many instances improve yields, selectivity, and reaction rates, while reducing energy consumption. In addition, most chemical recipes that are developed in the Magellan® system are intended to be scaled to full commercial production, thereby accelerating a new chemical product’s time to market.

“Our continued collaboration with the US EPA supports Kreido Biofuels’ efforts to lead the development of advanced chemical process technologies,” explains Dr. Joel Balbien, President & CEO. “Our CRADA has already identified some very promising chemical processes, and by supplying the Magellan® system, and adding Dr. Bergman and Dr. Ellman to the research team – we will be able to take a more active role in developing these opportunities.”

Dr. Robert G. Bergman (Gerald E.K. Branch Distinguished Professor of Chemistry) and Dr. Jonathon A. Ellman (Professor of Chemistry), at the University of California, Berkley, will join as advisors to the EPA/Kreido Biofuels collaboration. The Company believes that their joint expertise in organic chemistry and specifically chemical reactions and the applications to treat disease and in catalytic C-H activation reactions will assist efforts in pharmaceutical processing, and that their research in other areas of organic chemistry will support continued advancement of efficient biofuel production.
