SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (February 19, 2008) Jeff Lautt, Executive Vice President of Corporate Operations for POET, will take part in a Cellulosic Ethanol Technology panel at the National Ethanol Conference: Policy & Marketing, Changing the Climate on February 25-28, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. He will discuss the progress POET has made toward the commercialization of cellulosic ethanol and give an update on POET's cellulosic initiative, Project LIBERTY.

Project LIBERTY, the transformation of a 50 MGPY grain-to-ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, Iowa into an integrated corn-to-ethanol and cellulose-to-ethanol biorefinery, is jointly funded by POET and the United States Department of Energy. Once complete, the facility will produce 125 million gallons of ethanol per year, of which 25 million gallons will be from corn fiber and corn cobs. By adding cellulosic production to an existing grain ethanol plant, POET will be able to produce 11 percent more ethanol from a bushel of corn, 27 percent more from an acre of corn, while significantly decreasing fossil fuel consumption.

About POET
POET, the largest ethanol producer in the world according to the Renewable Fuels Association, is an established leader in the biorefining industry through project development, design and construction, research and development, plant management, and marketing. The 20-year old company currently operates 22 production facilities in the United States with five more in construction or under expansion.
