Current directors of NewGen Technologies, Ian Williamson, Cliff Hazel and John King, will sit on the board of the company and provide technical support for all aspects of the venture. The operation will offer performance fuels, biofuels and green energy solutions to governments, businesses, and other industry players in various global markets including Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
AG Global Partners has already identified significant opportunities in various parts of the world for the company to provide green energy solutions for governments, utilities, industry and transportation.
S. Bruce Wunner, Chairman and CEO of NewGen Technologies, stated, "This new joint venture will help NewGen continue its expansion internationally into global green energy and biofuel projects. By teaming with AG Global Partners, we will be able to expand our technologies to new fuel and production opportunities. This transaction is yet another example of leveraging NewGen's capabilities with appropriate strategic partners to speed our market entry at minimal cost."
Alex Greystoke, CEO of NewGen Fuel Technologies, added, "We are delighted to be working with an internationally-focused, vertically-integrated biofuels company that understands the importance of providing global green energy solutions now. We are already working with governments and companies around the world to find solutions to the environmental and economic problems caused by fossil fuel use, and our joint venture with NewGen will allow us to significantly improve and accelerate these efforts. Together we will be able to offer complete solutions, encompassing secure feedstock supply, world-class biofuel plant engineering and design, proprietary and proven fuel technologies, and an unmatched team of individuals in this emerging industry."
