SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - February 25, 2009) - Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTCBB : CABN )
(http://www.carbonsciences.com/), the developer of a breakthrough
technology to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into gasoline and
other fuels, was featured in USAToday's
(http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/environment/2009-02-24-carbon-dioxide-gasoline_N.htm) Money section (Page 3B), which reports, "Carbon Sciences is furthest along in the CO2-to-fuels quest."
The piece "Greenhouse gas villain rehabbed; Companies develop methods to
repurpose carbon dioxide," features industry pioneers who are making
strides to recycle CO2, "public enemy No. 1," and "reduce dependence on
carbon-spewing, petroleum-based products, as well as renewable fuels such
as corn ethanol that compete with food supplies."
The article details the company's revolutionary biocatalytic process,
invented by Dr. Naveed Aslam, the company's chief technology advisor, who
has found a way "to break down CO2 at low temperature and pressure."
Derek McLeish, Carbon Sciences' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, says
his company's process is the "most direct path," and, noted USA Today
reporter Paul Davidson, "ultimately, quicker and cheaper."
Carbon Sciences' President and Chief Operating Office, Byron Elton added,
"USA Today's article is a validation of our proprietary and unique
technology that uses CO2, the very source of the problem to provide a
solution."
