FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pure
Biofuels Completes Acquisition of InterPacific Oil S.A.C.'s Biodiesel Operation
- Peru's Only Biodiesel Facility
Expansion
Nearing Completion and Production Targeted for February 2008
LOS
ANGELES & LIMA, Peru (December 5, 2007
)
-- Pure
Biofuels Corp. (OTC BB: PBOF), a leader in the South American biofuels industry,
today announced the completion of the company's acquisition of InterPacific Oil
S.A.C.'s biodiesel production operation, Peru's largest and longest running
biodiesel processor. Pure Biofuels is currently in the process of expanding
the
six year old biodiesel facility in order to achieve production capacity of
10
million gallons per year (MMgy). The expansion is targeted to be completed
by
the end of December 2007.
Pure
will
begin tests and preliminary production in January, and expects to be operating
the facility at full capacity by the
end
of February
2008. The combined output of Pure's new 52.5 MMgy facility in the Port of
Callao, set for completion in the first quarter of 2008, and the InterPacific
Oil biodiesel facility will exceed 60 MMgy, making Pure Biofuels one of Latin
America's largest producers of biodiesel.
About
InterPacific Oil
InterPacific
Oil was Peru's first biodiesel producer, having commenced operations in 2002.
Since then, InterPacific has produced more than 30 million gallons of biodiesel
and sold it into local distribution. Luis Goyzueta, who helped pioneer the
biofuel industry in Peru, opened the InterPacific Oil biodiesel operation and
operated the facility as its General Manager for the last six years. He is
one
of Latin America's most experienced biodiesel executives. In 2006, he left
InterPacific Oil to found Pure Biofuels and shortly thereafter proposed the
acquisition of his former operation.
About
Pure Biofuels Corporation
Pure
Biofuels is committed to becoming a leader in Latin America's rapidly emerging
biofuels industry. Pure Biofuels' flagship project, the Callao Port biodiesel
refinery near Lima, Peru, is scheduled to commence production during the first
quarter of 2008. The Callao Port refinery will process biodiesel from crude
palm
oil feedstock. Pure Biofuels has secured memorandums of understanding with
local
fuel distributors for all of Callao Port's annual biodiesel production. The
company believes Peru's economic growth and expansion, which includes a more
than doubling of foreign direct investment in the country to $3.5 billion in
2006, adds to Peru's promise as an attractive geography for alternative fuel
production and development. For more information about Pure Biofuels, please

About
Biodiesel
Biodiesel
is a clean and renewable energy source derived from vegetable oil that can
be
used in unmodified diesel engines. Biodiesel improves overall engine
performance, is 100% compatible with existing diesel vehicles and
infrastructure, and has proven reliable in over 50 million miles of road
testing. Biodiesel significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions, which
contribute to global warming; is non-toxic at any level; and is the first and
only fuel to have passed the Clean Air Act. The United Nations expects biofuels
to account for a full 25% of world energy needs by 2025.
