renewable energy company, announced today that it has named interim
Chief Executive Officer and Board member G.A. Ben Binninger to the
post of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Binninger was appointed interim
CEO in July 2007 and has served on the Board of the company and its
predecessor, Kreido Laboratories, since 2004.
Betsy Wood Knapp, Kreido's Chair of the Board, stated, "During the
course of Ben's involvement with Kreido, he has provided an
extraordinary range of experience in the fuels and chemicals
industries. His familiarity with Kreido's technology, business and
staff has enabled him to be immediately effective in carrying out the
company's mission. In the last five months, it became clear that Ben's
background and expertise make him uniquely qualified to continue to
lead the company."
Chief Executive Officer Ben Binninger said, "I strongly believe in
the company and its future. For this reason I have committed to serve
as Kreido's Chief Executive and dedicate myself to the goal of
creating a profitable, growing leader in biofuels. Since mid-summer

animal fats, in addition to soy, palm, canola, jatropha and
castor oils, tested earlier.
-- Expanded our Camarillo facilities to manufacture reactors for
at least four plants annually from a single shift operation.
-- Manufactured and are assembling the four reactors required for
our Wilmington plant.
-- Ran the Foothill pilot plant and produced biodiesel that
significantly exceeded the conversions necessary to meet
industry specifications based on pork fat.
-- Substantially completed the first modular plant, which is
being readied for shipment to Wilmington.
-- Laid the ground work for rapid execution of licensing for
commercial plants and international facilities following the
start up of the Wilmington plant."
