Largest Biodiesel Plant in the U.S. Now Being Assembled in Bakersfield, California

CALIFORNIA, BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 28 -/E-Wire/Business Wire/-- Green Star Products, Inc. (OTC: GSPI) announced that the largest biodiesel plant in the US is now being assembled in Bakersfield, California. The production capacity of this plant is expected to be 35 million gallons per year at full production. This is significant when considering that the entire U.S. production of biodiesel in 2002 was only 15 million gallons. GSPI has a 35% ownership position in American Bio-Fuels, LLC (ABF), which is building the plant through a joint venture.

The "Bakersfield Californian" newspaper published an article on Sunday, February 23rd, that covered the role of biodiesel in aiding farm economies, reducing oil dependence and improving Bakersfield's air quality, which is among the worst in the U.S. Mr. LaStella, President of GSPI, who was interviewed for the article, stated that: "The plant will be the only continuous flow production facility in the U.S. Other plants usually incorporate older style inefficient batch processes." The initial plant was to be much smaller (GSPI 11/19/02) but many factors including market conditions and economies of scale dictated that a much larger plant was more financially prudent and desirable. The existing site facilities include three railroad spurs capable of holding 130 railroad cars and 36 acres of property with many other support facilities.

A reprint of excerpts of the article can be read in the last GSPI press release (2-24-03) on the GSPI web site (www.baat.com). The article can be read at www.bakersfield.com.
