Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) is pleased to announce that
Resonance(R) energy feedstock provided by Calyx subsidiary Agrisoma Biosciences,
was found to be the most similar to petroleum-derived fuels as compared to other
renewable fuels tested in a recent study conducted by the Coordinating Research
Council (CRC), a non-profit organization that encourages, promotes and studies
various fuels through scientific research.


The study, Advanced Alternative and Renewable Diesel Fuels: Detailed
Characterization of Physical and Chemical Properties, confirmed that
ReadiDiesel(R), made from Agrisoma's Resonance(TM) energy cairnata feedstock,
"looked more like the petroleum-derived fuels than the other renewable fuels..."
The study compared the results of detailed analyses of the physical and chemical
properties of 10 advanced alternative and renewable diesel fuels and four
commercial ultra low sulfur diesels. 


A key objective of the blind study was to identify the similarities and
differences of alternative and renewable fuels as compared to conventional
petroleum derived diesel fuels. Samples were obtained from select manufacturers
who produced diesel on a relatively large scale (from pilot to commercial scale)
and agreed to participate in the study. 


Highlights of the report include:



--  Referring to RD3 (ReadiDiesel): "...looked more like the petroleum-
    derived fuels than the other renewable fuels..." Page xviii, Executive
    Summary. 
    
--  ReadiDiesel was the only fuel tested that had the same level of
    aromatics as petroleum-based diesel fuel, the main reason most
    alternative fuels require blending with petroleum. 



ReadiDiesel, made by Applied Research Associates (ARA) and Chevron Lummus Global
from Agrisoma Resonance(R) energy feedstock, is referred to as "RD3" in the
report the report.


"The CRC report provides a broad view and comprehensive analysis of the slate of
alternative and renewable diesel fuels at or near commercial scale. Our
ReadiDiesel, made from Agrisoma's Resonance energy feedstock, clearly stands
out, meeting D975 specs without blending and having a molecular makeup that is
almost indistinguishable from the ultra low sulfur diesels tested in the
program," said Ed Coppola, ARA Fuels Technical Lead.


"The fact that ReadiDiesel has a density equivalent to petroleum diesels is
significant from an operational perspective as it equates to extra miles per
gallon for a diesel fleet," said Chuck Red, ARA's Vice President, Fuels
Development.


"The CRC study is one more confirmation that Resonance(R) carinata can be used
as a feedstock for fuels that are complete petroleum substitutes, resulting in
substantially reduced carbon and other harmful emissions without compromising
performance," said Hugh Notman, president and CEO of Calyx. "This further
supports our efforts to become a leading non-food source of biofuels that can be
utilized seamlessly in petroleum-fuel powered engines, whether they be in
planes, ground transportation or other applications."

The AVFL-19 Working Group (of the CRC) is comprised of representatives from
energy companies, U.S. national labs, and a Canadian national lab. The time and
testing expenses of the authors were largely funded by their respective
organizations. Members of the U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories
used funding from their budgets provided by U.S. DOE Vehicle Technologies
Program. Members of National Resources Canada and Canmet ENERGY used funding
from their budgets provided by the Government of Canada's interdepartmental
Program of Energy Research and Development, PERD 113 Petroleum Conversion for
Cleaner Air.
