Gulf Alternative Energy Corporation (Pink Sheets:GAEC) announced today the lab test results on its biomass pre-processing technology. This unique process converts cellulosic biomass into a fine, dry powder for processing into ethanol. Testing was conducted by the highly respected Microbac Laboratories, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado.

Lab results showed that all sugars were produced from Gulf Sorghum in 16 hours compared to 64 hours for unprocessed control samples. This is a 400% increase in processing speed under controlled lab conditions. Microbac concluded that Gulf's industrial grade processing was as efficient as the best lab scale processing used to test biomass. The report concludes that the GAEC process significantly impacted processing time for cellulosic ethanol.

"Independent lab results now confirm what we expected from Gulf's cellulosic feedstock pre-processing technology - it makes a big difference in processing efficiency," noted John Shearer, President of GAEC. "This test lays to rest any questions regarding the validity and value of Gulf's process to development of the cellulosic ethanol industry."

In addition, the company has updated its web-site and invites those interested in the Company to visit www.GulfAlternativeEnergy.com for an update on the Company. Gulf is focused on commercializing its cellulose pre-processing technology and on expanding its green technology portfolio. Transforming cellulose to ethanol efficiently is a technical challenge that will transform the biofuels industry. Gulf Alternative Energy believes it has moved the industry much closer to economic viability with its preprocessing technology that turns non-food plant material (called biomass) into extremely small particles that can more quickly and more cheaply be turned into ethanol.

Gulf Alternative Energy Corporation (PinkSheets:GAEC) announced today that it has completed the process of changing its name from Gulf Ethanol Corp. The change is indicative of the Company's move to advance its biomass processing technology beyond the ethanol industry. As the technology has developed, the company realized that there could be other alternative energy applications that would fit within the parameters of the technology platform.

Gulf Alternative Energy Corp. is developing a system that processes biomass, such as sorghum or switchgrass, into a fine powder. The Company expects this to increase the speed and efficiency of processing biomass into ethanol and other fuels. Only simple sugars can be fermented into ethanol so efficient conversion of the materials is essential to cellulosic ethanol production.

The Company's timeline for the foreseeable future is as follows:
"In December the first commercial processing unit, which has now been completed, will be moved to its permanent location for final testing. Gulf and Meridian will then process multiple feed-stocks using this new technology. The cellulose will then be scientifically tested to verify its efficiency. Gulf expects to enter into agreements in 2008 to retrofit existing corn-based ethanol plants to cellulose to increase their economic efficiency"

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--Gulf Ethanol Corporation (OTC:GFET) announced today an Auburn University study confirming the benefits of its ethanol feedstock processing technology. Gulf Ethanol has acquired the exclusive right to a revolutionary new technology, developed by Meridian Biorefining,Inc., that creates a fungible cellulose that is far more effective as an ethanol feedstock than anything available today. Dr. Y. Y. Lee of Auburn University reports that preliminary tests of this new cellulose feedstock indicate the recovery of at least 10% more ethanol by weight and a 12% reduction in processing time.Traditionally processed feedstocks were compared to the Gulf Ethanol/Meridian product in side-by-side tests. The Company expects further testing and product refinement will confirm even greater performance enhancement from its feedstock processing technology. In addition, Gulf Ethanol's cellulose feedstock can be processed using either a batch method or a continuous flow process. "It is time for the market to know what we have been developing,"noted JT Cloud, President of Gulf Ethanol. "This technology will revolutionize ethanol production in the United States by moving the industry from corn-based production to much cheaper cellulose feedstocks. Ethanol's time has come because it can now be produced with less energy input and at far cheaper prices,"he concluded.

Gulf Ethanol to License Breakthrough Technology

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gulf Ethanol Corporation (OTC:GFET) announced today an agreement to acquire the exclusive rights to a break-through cellulose feed-stock processing technology. Gulf will have the exclusive right to deliver this exciting new technology solution to the ethanol industry.

Gulf Ethanol will obtain exclusive rights to a revolutionary technology developed by Meridian BioRefining, Inc. that processes cellulose feed-stocks so that they can be more efficiently converted into ethanol. The process dramatically improves portability while significantly improving process times and ethanol recovery from cellulose.

"This is the breakthrough that the ethanol industry has been seeking,"stated JT Cloud, Gulf Ethanol's President. "This process will provide ethanol producers with the first cellulosic feed-stock that can be processed quickly and economically. We believe this will revolutionize the ethanol industry by accelerating the conversion of ethanol production in the U.S. from corn to cellulose in just a few years time,"he concluded. The first commercial scale processing unit has been completed by Meridian and is expected to undergo commercial testing prior to deployment in January 2008. Sources of cellulose include wood chips, grasses, sorghum and waste materials like corn stalks and straw. A recent report found that the U.S. is capable of producing a sustainable supply of 1.3 billion tons per year of biomass, and that one billion tons would be sufficient to replace 30 percent or more of America's present petroleum consumption.

Technology
Cellulose must be broken down and converted into sugar which is then transformed chemically into ethanol. Gulf's exclusive license with Meridian Biorefining gives it the right to a technology that converts cellulose feed stocks, such as switchgrass, sorghum, wood chips, and bagasse into an extremely fine cellulose powder. According to the company, Gulf's pre-processing increased the amount of ethanol recovered from the feed stock and significantly reduces the time needed to process cellulose into ethanol. Gulf's process is said to use very low energy input.
