Gulf Announces Contrarian Ethanol Play

Gulf Ethanol Corporation (OTC:GFET): Ethanol stocks have been a bust in recent months as rising corn costs have squeezed the profit margin of traditional ethanol plants. Ethanol continues to gain market share, now nearly 10% of the fuel industry according to VeraSun Energy Corp. (AMEX: VSE). Gulf Ethanol represents the contrarian play to alternative energy investors through its cellulose to ethanol program and its plan to begin retrofitting unprofitable plants to cellulose feed stock in 2008.

The failure of corn-based ethanol stocks spotlights the contrast between Gulf Ethanol and it competitors. With corn at $5.64 per bushel, we can get cellulose at $45 per ton, noted JT Cloud, Gulfs President. Our feedstock costs will be about $0.45 per gallon while existing producers feedstock costs are near $2.00 per gallon. That revolutionizes the economics of ethanol and makes Gulf ethanol a great contrarian play to corn based ethanol stock, he concluded.

Because the development of biofuels is essential to Americas energy security, market leaders including agricultural giants such as ADM (NYSE: ADM), Cargill and soybean processor Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG) will continue to play an active role in the development of alternative fuels.
