Wall Street Reporter Magazine recently broadcasted an exclusive interview with Joseph LaStella, president of Green Star Products Inc. (Pink Sheets:GSPI), detailing how his company is in the right place to wean biodiesel and ethanol producers off their dependence on traditional oilseed agricultural commodities.
"People didn't realize there was going to be a shortage of feedstock both in the biodiesel side of the business and the ethanol side of the business," Mr. LaStella tells Wall Street Reporter. "We're taking food off the table and making fuel out of it, and that has never been an answer."
The interview is now available at http://www.wallstreetreporter.com/page.php?page=featured&tab=2&id=26706 in streaming audio and mp3 format, free of charge.
Highlights include discussion of the following topics of interest:
-- How the recent run-up in corn and soy prices has effectively locked up the emerging biofuels production industry.
-- How the company's canola oil production strategy offers local farmers a short- and long-term sustainable energy independence solution.
-- How Green Star's efforts to develop algae in particular as an alternative biodiesel feedstock are approaching the commercial stage. "We're very close to it," he says, indicating that the infrastructure for algae farming could take six months to a year or more to put in place.
-- How the company's algae-driven biodiesel production process represents a cost-effective advance compared to closed-reactor algae systems or open ponds.
-- The advantages of cellulosic ethanol production, which can generate ethanol out of a wide range of agricultural waste including wood, rice and corn stalks and municipal waste.
"We've been in the biodiesel business for a long time," he tells WSR. "We have the most advanced, cost-effective and fastest biodiesel reactors in the world."
