Green Energy Resources (NASDAQ: NYIL) will
acquire three (3) biomass power plants in Italy. The plants will generate

Green Energy Resources export sales of woodchips from the United States are
projected at approximately 2 million metric tons for 2005, generating
approximately $100 million dollars in gross sales revenues. New export clients
include buyers in Sweden (200,000 Mts annually), Netherlands ( 120,000 Mts
annually) and the UK (150,000 Mts annually).
Green Energy Resources has contracted TREX LLC partners of Medina, Ohio and
Houston, Texas to supply 1 million tons annually of woodchips from two (2)
Houston area ports. Trex spent nearly $1million in new chipping equipment to
secure the contract from Green Energy Resources. The contract ensures Green
Energy Resources a long term supply at a fixed cost and is expected to have the
first shipment ready for export in November.
Four Florida Hurricanes has made nearly 5 million tons of wood available to
Green Energy Resources throughout the state. Agreements with four Florida ports
for the export of woodchips have been reached. The sites include Tampa, Palm
Beach, Port Canaveral, and Pensacola. The ports, not normally associated with
wood fiber exports, must demonstrate the ability to handle the product and load
ships efficiently, prior receiving product at the port. A meeting is scheduled
with Governor Bush's office to discuss the recycling and export efforts in
Florida.
Oil peaked at $50 per barrel last week, and Russia's announced it would ratify
the Kyoto Protocol. $50 per barrel oil can only be reduced long term through
increased utilization and applications of Renewable Energies. Each ton of
biomass that is supplied produced for energy, translates into direct savings and
reduction to consumers by reducing global demand for oil. Green Energy Resources
is the international fuel chip supplier driving to expand renewable energies
industry.
The Kyoto Protocol will have major impact on US energy policy. It will usher in
a nationally uniform Green certificate (REC) emissions trading policy by January
2005, and will result in an accelerated green house reductions timetable for
utilities to comply with international and the newly implemented Federal EPA air
quality standards issued in July of 2004.Green Energy Resources supplies an
environmentally certified wood fiber fuel that is 100% Kyoto compliant to
receive the Green Certificates.
