IHDR - Internal Hydro's Low Hydro Unit Showings for Euro Partners, Asian Potential, Production Data to be Included On Web Site
Tuesday October 10, 10:00 am ET

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Internal Hydro International, Inc., (OTC BB:IHDR.OB - News) (http://www.internalhydro.com) announced today that the details of the low hydro positive displacement unit, the Energy Commander V (EC V), the alternative to traditional hydro technology, which is being run in Mobile, Alabama for showings to its European partner during a three-day handover production conference, is also being shown for other users of the technology including domestic utilities, industrial and natural flow users. IHDR has recently shown early run video of the unit operating in Mobile; other video of the energy production is to follow with data of the efficiencies created to be displayed after the recent runs, to show electricity production and output statistics. IHDR has hosted conferences for other potential licensees outside of North America and Europe, including Asia. The output of the EC V, has shown to be more efficient at a 50 psi input for the 30 Kw production unit, will continue to be run before turn over to Cm2, the European partner for production, with data sheets to be released for users and then viewing at the company's web site to follow this week and on an ongoing basis.

IHDR will be hosting its European production partner, Cm2 in Mobile for demonstrations and handover of the unit for future large scale production under Cm2 the week of October 16th. With Cm2 taking charge of the production of the EC V, IHDR will concentrate upon the domestic sales and international licensing of the EC V technology, through previously identified entities. The want for the technology has now grown to both domestic and international users from the information provided from Mobile. IHDR will supply a detailed video to replace that shown on the web site in the short term by that same time frame.

The EC V low impact hydro unit is the first to ever utilize positive displacement by cylinders set in a radial engine form, instead of traditional turbines. The uses identified by licensees in Europe and other areas globally will fit tens of thousands of applications and placements. At a superior price per Kilowatt of electricity provided, the unit is more than cost efficient than any other energy production technology on the market.

The Company's plan is for the Energy Commander to be produced by Cm2 in Italy for supply into the U.S. and Europe initially, with contracting, and placement plans to be supplied in data sheets to users from the current runs. The Company expects that with the showing of the unit, the unit will be entered into many additional outlets and sources of contracts to governmental and private entities. IHDR's use of the positive displacement system has now been identified to be used for industrial safety in high rises due to the safe mechanical nature of the unit to provide mechanical power potential for an additional use in elevators without electricity production, which is now the subject of interest for the unit globally.

GS CleanTech Completes Installation of Corn Oil Extraction Technology
Business Wire - October 10, 2006 8:00 AM (EDT)

NEW YORK, Oct 10, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GS CleanTech Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSCT) today announced its installation of the first stage of GS CleanTech's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM) ("COES") at Little Sioux Corn Processors, LLC ("Little Sioux"), a Marcus, Iowa based ethanol producer.

GS CleanTech's patent-pending corn oil extraction technology has been engineered to help ethanol producers enhance production and increase revenues out of their existing crop in cost-effective and rapid ways. GS CleanTech's COES can extract about 3 million gallons of crude corn oil from a typical 50 million gallon ethanol production facility in two 1.5 million gallon per year stages.

Little Sioux is an innovative farmer-owned ethanol production facility that was commissioned in April 2003 and was designed to produce 40 million gallons of ethanol per year. Facility operators have been able to eliminate processing bottlenecks to allow it to consistently produce in excess of 50 million gallons of ethanol annually, and Little Sioux continues to implement new processing technologies.

The first stage of Little Sioux's COES installation was completed this past week and the system is now fully operational extracting corn oil at a rate of about 1.5 million gallons per year from an ethanol co-product called distillers dried grains ("DDG").

David Winsness, GS CleanTech's president and chief operational officer, said that "the Little Sioux installation was one of two early adopter sites that we have been working with to demonstrate the performance of our extraction technology. The leadership of Little Sioux is clearly committed to innovation. We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Little Sioux and we look forward to continued opportunities to doing so in the future."

GS CleanTech's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM)

Currently, the majority of the ethanol produced domestically is based on a dry milling technique that converts corn into ethanol. The corn is milled and then mashed with a combination of heat and enzymes that convert the starch in the corn into fermentable sugars. This mash is then cooled and mixed with yeast to create a fermented mash which is then separated into alcohol and stillage. The alcohol is distilled and dehydrated into 200 proof fuel-grade ethanol. The stillage is sent through series of centrifuges and evaporators and then to a rotary dryer to reduce moisture. The output of the drying stage is a co-product called distillers dried grains ("DDG") which is conventionally sold as a livestock feed.

GS CleanTech's patent-pending corn oil extraction technology intercepts the stillage flow in between the evaporation stage in the drying stage. The stillage has a concentrated syrup-like consistency after evaporation. GS CleanTech heats the concentrated stillage and then uses advanced centrifuge technology to spin crude corn oil out of the heated concentrated stillage. The crude corn oil is then routed to storage for use as a raw material for biodiesel production and the now defatted concentrated stillage is returned to the drying stage of the ethanol production process where it is dried into defatted DDG. GS CleanTech's corn oil extraction technology provides ethanol producers with the following benefits:

-- Increased Revenue - The corn oil extracted is readily amenable to refining into biodiesel fuel which creates a new revenue stream for participating ethanol facilities;

-- Reduced Operating Costs and Emissions - Corn oil removal can improve drying efficiency by more than 10% with reduced natural gas or coal needs and reduced emissions (NOx, SOx, VOC, and CO2);

-- Low Operating Costs - The system requires less than $0.05 per gallon of corn oil produced;

-- High Recovery Rates - The technology is capable of recovering up to 75% of the corn oil within the DDG; and,

-- Increased Inclusion Rates - Corn oil removal can improve defatted DDG marketability and inclusion rates by reducing fat content.

GS CleanTech's pricing model for its corn oil extraction technology is based on GS CleanTech's provision of turn-key extraction systems for no up-front cost in return for long-term agreements to purchase the extracted corn oil based on a fixed discount to prevailing fuel prices. Alternatively, GS CleanTech's clients have the option of purchasing their installation of the corn oil extraction technology provided that GS CleanTech retains the right to purchase the extracted corn oil based on a fixed discount to prevailing fuel prices for the life of the use of the technology.

About GS CleanTech Corporation

GS CleanTech Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSCT) provides applied engineering and technology transfer services based on clean technologies and process innovations that make it cost-effective and easy to recycle and reuse resources.

Additional information on GS CleanTech's Corn Oil Extraction System and GS CleanTech's ethanol efficiency program is available online at http://www.gs-cleantech.com.

GS CleanTech is about 80% owned by GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF), a company devoted to facilitating the efficient use of natural resources.

Global Investing 101: Africa and the Middle East
By Motley Fool Staff
October 9, 2006

As we await the launch of Motley Fool Global Gains, our new international investing service, we are taking a look back at some of our best international stock ideas. This article was originally published on June 12, 2006.

In the pantheon of international investing, if this were a World Cup, Africa and the Middle East would be the "team" that has a few really nice players, but not a roster that would give it a chance at winning the whole enchilada.

Perhaps I should say the "whole pita" or the "whole injera" or something more geographically appropriate. However, as someone who relishes the thought of digging in places other people might want to avoid, I was pretty sure that I would be able to find some real value in Africa and the Middle East. Besides, everyone else here seems to have forgotten that the expanse of Africa and the Middle East contains two ideally situated, rapidly growing, developed economies with robust levels of minority shareholder protection.

Yes, in this region there's Israel and South Africa. There's also Turkey, one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with plenty of connection to Europe. These markets are also somewhat easy to track: Of the 66 countries that make up Africa and the Middle East, those are the only three countries that have companies listed on the three major U.S. exchanges. Israel is a burgeoning financial and technological powerhouse. South Africa is king of the precious-metals and diamond-mining businesses. And Turkey has a cellular company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Africa and the Middle East have more than their fair share of economic basket cases, to be sure. Congo? Disastrous. Somalia? May or may not have a government, and either way, it's at minimum a failed state. Zimbabwe has been run into the ground by policies that are so destructive and random that the country might have been better off if economic policymaking was done using Yahtzee dice and a highly trained chinchilla. These countries have no direct exposure to the major U.S. exchanges.

Unfortunately, neither do a number of smaller countries that have rapid growth rates and burgeoning economies. Botswana, for example, has recently held a higher sovereign debt rating than Japan. Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, and Namibia offer developing economies and burgeoning local stock exchanges. And across the Red Sea, the stock markets in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been among the fastest-rising in the world before a recent swoon. Unfortunately, none of these markets is functionally open to international investors. Lebanon has corruption problems galore, which serve to impair its standing globally. However, Beirut has been a center for commerce and banking in the region for millennia, and the nation's emergence from decades of crippling civil war has created awesome opportunities.

Cracks are opening. Qatar Telecom is available on the London Stock Exchange, and billionaire Saudi Prince al-Waleed's Kingdom Hotels is exploring the ability to list overseas as well.

What Africa and the Middle East has, in a quantity that is unequaled anywhere else in the world, is potential. This is the most mineral-rich region in the world, and plenty of companies do enormous levels of work here, from Royal Dutch Petroleum (NYSE: RDS-A) and its African and Middle Eastern oil production resources to Vaalco Energy (AMEX: EGY) and its oil-exploration rights off the coast of the West African country of Gabon. If you want to speak of potential for growth, in Africa it's nearly limitless.

At the same time, as investors we cannot simply put our money into "potential." With the opening up of Africa to both the South African and (to a smaller degree) Israeli companies, growth in Africa is best tapped using companies that know the ground but are based in countries with sufficient shareholder protections. AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU), a $10 billion South African gold-mining concern, has developed mines and interests throughout sub-Saharan Africa, and paper and pulp giant Sappi (NYSE: SPP) has done the same.

Gold? Paper? Beyond offering a proxy for the great currency debasement arguments circling the developing world, these might not offer the most exciting potential for investors. Look to the north, in Israel, and you'll find the foreign country that has more companies listed in the U.S. than any other. Many of these companies, like Answers (Nasdaq: ANSW), and Checkpoint Software (Nasdaq: CHKP), are high-tech concerns with little exposure to the Israeli economy, while Koor Industries (NYSE: KOR) is a conglomerate with diverse interests in telecommunications, agriculture, and venture capital.

Africa and the Middle East may not be the first regions people think of when they decide to look for overseas exposure. This is admittedly prudent. But between the diverse powerhouse economies of Israel and South Africa, plus the myriad ways of investing in the region through foreign companies operating there, you're going to see that plenty of that raw potential is going to turn into profits in the next decade.

Far East Energy Corporation Achieves Continuous Gas Flow From a Second Horizontal Well; China Operations on Track
Monday October 9, 6:00 am ET
Company Will Host Conference Call to Discuss Operational Developments


HOUSTON, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Far East Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FEEC - News) announced today that it has successfully achieved continuous gas flow in its third horizontal well, the FCC HZ03, in the Shouyang Block of its Shanxi Province Project in China. The Company said additional production data will be needed to project a peak gas production rate. FCC HZ03 is the second well in Shouyang Block to provide continuous gas flow. Similar initial gas flow was announced for the FCC HZ01 well in May 2006.
ADVERTISEMENT


"The ongoing well data from this first set of wells in the Shouyang Block is beyond our expectations," said Michael McElwrath, CEO and President of Far East Energy. "We have seen the high gas content that we anticipated, but the permeability appears to be much higher than expected."

McElwrath added, "As CBM experts know, high permeability is a desirable quality for long-term gas production. Although it requires a longer period of dewatering, high permeability in conjunction with high gas content and sufficient pressure generally results in higher gas production rates sustainable over a longer period of time. Based upon our preliminary data, we believe that wells drilled in this high permeability/high gas area should yield strong results."

Conference Call Details

Michael R. McElwrath, CEO, will host a conference call Tuesday, October 17, 2006 at 11:00 am ET / 10:00 am CT. On this call the Company will further discuss these operational updates. To access the conference call, investors should dial (877) 704-5391 in the United States or (913) 312-1301 for international callers. The passcode for both U.S. and international callers is 5492679.

FCC HZ04

Far East Energy began drilling its fourth horizontal well, FCC HZ04 in the Shouyang Block of its Shanxi Province project in early September 2006. The Company has determined that FCC HZ04 should be drilled to approximately 800 meters in the coal seam, based on experience with the first three horizontal wells. Far East Energy believes that the high permeability (20 to 100 millidarcies) and gas content (450 to 600 standard cubic feet per ton of coal) indicated in the No. 15 coal seam should make significant gas production possible with shorter horizontal laterals. FCC HZ04 is being drilled adjacent to the FCC HZ01 and FCC HZ03 wells in order to speed up dewatering of earlier wells. Far East Energy anticipates this fourth horizontal well may produce gas flow commensurate with the preliminary indications of high gas content and permeability measured in the Company's early wells.

Qinnan Block

Far East Energy has acquired 20 to 25 kilometers of 2D seismic data in the Qinnan Block of the Shanxi Province project. The data is being processed and the Company expects to drill a slim hole with the objective of identifying the optimum location in the Qinnan Block for a future horizontal well in the No. 3 coal seam, which appears to be thicker than other coal seams in the Qinnan Block and has been the target of significant drilling activity to the south by other operators.

Yunnan Project

The Company is finalizing the well plan to contract for the drilling of its first horizontal well in the Yunnan project, which it expects to begin later this year. As previously announced, the Company plans to drill this well, the FCY LC-03, to satisfy the exploration requirements of Phase II of the Enhong-Laochang Production Sharing Contract. That phase requires the drilling of a horizontal well with at least two radials in the well. This well will target the Nos. 7 and 8 coal seams, which in the Yunnan project acreage are thicker than other prospective coal seams.

China Acreage Overview

The Shouyang and Qinnan Blocks are part of the 4,280 square kilometer (1,057,650 acres) coalbed methane (CBM) project in Shanxi Province that Far East holds under farmouts from ConocoPhillips. Including its 1,073 square kilometer project in Yunnan Province, the coalbed methane concessions of Far East Energy contain a land mass slightly larger than the State of Delaware.

About Far East Energy

Based in Houston, Texas, with offices in Beijing, Kunming, and Taiyuan City, China, Far East Energy Corporation is focused on the acquisition of, and exploration for, coalbed methane in China through its agreements with ConocoPhillips and China United Coalbed Methane Company, Ltd. (CUCBM).

Wednesday October 11, 7:00 am ET


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 11, 2006 -- Powder River Basin Gas Corp. (OTC BBRVB.OB - News), a revenue generating producer, acquirer and marketer of crude oil and natural gas properties, today announced it has purchased another property in south Texas, East McFadden Field.
ADVERTISEMENT


This property is located in Victoria County and is over 4,600 acres. Currently, East McFadden Field has three wells that are producing a total of 40 BOPD and 350 mcf natural gas per day. There are also an additional 52 shut-in wells on this project. Powder River intends to re-work all of these wells and install Electronic Submersible Pumps, or ESP units, which are capable of moving an average of 3000 barrels of fluid per well per day. The average oil cut is five percent. This equates to 50 BOPD per 1000 barrels of fluid moved.

The service work and ESP units are being supplied by Weatherford International, who has participated in The Company's research and due diligence on the project.

The property's total proved developed reserves are valued at 2.45 million barrels of oil and 2.5 BCF gas, which equates to $170 million undiscounted or $83.2 million PV 10% net income to the Powder River interest. These numbers, which were obtained from an independent engineering report are based on current oil and gas prices.

Powder River Basin Gas Corp. plans to begin the additional
