Beacon Equity Research Featured Company: Universal Bioenergy, Inc. (UBRG.PK)

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Universal Bioenergy Inc. is a development stage company engaging in the green technologies revolution. The company has their own unique process for producing biodiesel that requires less time and energy while still producing a high-quality product. The Company has their corporate headquarters in Nettleton, Mississippi.

The company conducts their processes in their state-of-the-art processing plant. It is a compactly designed plant with a smaller footprint than plants of similar capacity. Currently, the plant’s capacity is 10 million gallons per year, but can be expanded as required. They plan to expand potential production capacity to 50 million gallons per year as soon as it is economically prudent for the company.

Universal Bioenergy’s focus is on the production of biodiesel fuel mainly using soybean and other vegetable oil and grease in a refining process that produces this fuel as well as a byproduct of glycerin. They call this process their Dynamic Vibration Fusion Process (DVFP).The Company’s research and development team are working on protocols and processing techniques to improve the quality of biofuels. They are also working on more efficient production of and uses for crude glycerin. Their goal is to convert crude glycerin to other products such as kerosene and maybe even aviation fuels.

In addition, Universal Bioenergy is developing a system to use glycerin as a heat source, which would reduce energy costs to produce biodiesel. The company is further working on a biodiesel process to use feedstock containing high “free fatty acid” content. Feedstock normally needs to contain less than one percent of “free fatty acids”. However, this process will allow the use of a greater variety of lower cost feedstock.

The company also plans to distribute petroleum/biodiesel blended fuel, such as B2 and B20, through wholesale distributors, truck stops, fueling stations, and through other distribution networks.

Universal Bioenergy, Inc. (UBRG.PK) – Lowering Costs to Make Biodiesel for America

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Universal Bioenergy, Inc. is focused on making biodiesel fuels. Biodiesel is a diesel-equivalent processed fuel derived from biological sources such as vegetable oils or fatty animal products. Once processed, it can be used as a replacement fuel in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles. It is clean-burning and is renewable. Exhaust from automobiles that run on biodiesel tends to smell a little like French fries. Biodiesel typically produces up to 78% less net lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions than petroleum-based diesel. So, the fuel is all around good for the environment.

The company announced yesterday that they have negotiated two process technologies that may lower the cost to produce their biodiesel. The first of these technologies will allow the use of lower cost, higher free fatty acid feedstocks while producing other value-added byproducts. These include a furnace oil and a lubricant base oil that can sell for prices 20-25% higher than biodiesel as stated by the technology developers. Another advantage is this process does not produce glycerol which is quickly becoming more difficult to dispose of or sell. The second process will allow the lowering of the reaction temperature by up to 35 degrees F while maintaining output. This chemically modified process can save energy and operating costs.

Since the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, biodiesel use has been increasing in the United States. Fueling stations make biodiesel readily available to consumers across Europe, and increasingly in the USA and Canada. A growing number of transport fleets use it as an additive in their fuel. In September 2005, Minnesota became the first U.S. state to mandate that all diesel fuel sold in the state contain part biodiesel, requiring a content of at least 2% biodiesel. Global biodiesel production reached 3.8 million tons in 2005. Approximately 85% of biodiesel production came from the European Union.
