Exclusive Interview with Barry Ellsworth, President of Green Plains Renewable Energy to Discuss Growing Demand for Ethanol

“The real value in our company is that we only have 6 million shares, therefore when we have both plants up and running this will represent around 18.5 gallons of ethanol per share” - Barry Ellsworth, President

Corporate Overview

Green Plains Renewable Energy (NASDAQ: GPRE) is currently building a 50 million gallon name plate ethanol facility in Shenandoah, Iowa. That plant is fully funded and is expected to commence operations in mid-2007. GPRE recently closed a secondary offering of its common stock, which gave the Company approximately $47 million net. Those funds will finance part of the construction and start-up costs of the Company's second 50 million gallon name plate facility to be built near Superior, Iowa. Start-up of the Superior plant is anticipated to be sometime in the later part of 2007. Upon the completion of both plants, the Company anticipates that it will have the capacity to produce at least 110 million gallons of ethanol on an annual basis.
