Stratos Renewables Corp. is an emerging ethanol company with a mission to become one of the lowest cost sugarcane-based ethanol operations in the world. Sugarcane produces up to 700% per land mass more than what corn does and is currently the only biofuel that creates no net carbon dioxide emissions.

With planned first-to-market operations along the northern coast of Peru, Stratos plans to utilize the country’s underdeveloped coastal region to cultivate and harvest its sugarcane. Peru’s coastal region is ideal for modern farming techniques and high-yield, year-round harvest, with low export transportation costs. The land prices in Peru are only a fraction of the prices in developed countries that are producing other feedstock. The country also enjoys tax-free trade to the U.S. compared with Brazil’s $0.54 per gallon tariff.

The company is committed to creating long-term sustainable growth with a business model that could possibly create

Stratos Renewables’ development and agricultural planning manager, Alfonso Altet, has more than a decade of experience in the research and development filed. He served as the manager of the Institute of Research and Development for Highlands of Universidad Nacional Agraria (Agricultural State University) in Mantaro Valley where he was responsible for researching and producing various highland crops. He also worked as Agricultural Development Manager of the National Program of Basin Management (PRONAMACH) in Cusco.

The company’s distillery advisor, Augusto De La Piedra, has four decades of experience in the sugar cane industry. He grew up on a 48,000 hectare plantation owned by his grandfather where they grew 15,000 hectares of sugar cane. De La Piedra is an industrial engineer, as well as a chemist, and is recognized as Peru’s leading expert on distilleries and refineries. He is part of the Board of Directors of

Stratos Renewables Corporation is an emerging South American developmental-stage company with plans to become one of the lowest cost sugarcane-based ethanol operations in the world. The young company has vastly been gaining recognition and is well-positioned to become a leader in the sugarcane ethanol industry based on multiple factors including Peru’s superior climate, strong export location to the United States and its free trade agreement with the US and Canada.

The current market demand is driving the need for more efficient, cleaner and less costly renewable fuel sources. What makes sugarcane so appealing is that it produces up to seven times more energy per land mass than what corn does. Sugarcane-based ethanol is also the only biofuel that creates no net carbon dioxide emissions.

Interest in biofuels has increased due to environmental, geo-political and economic factors, including initiatives by countries to develop

Today shortly after the opening bell, Stratos Renewables announced that Sanjay Pai, its Chief Strategy Officer, presented the company’s strategic business plan at the Rohstoffmesse Equity Capital Conference in Frankfurt, Germany. Mr. Pai is a recognized sugarcane ethanol expert and understands Peru’s potential for becoming a formidable supplier of ethanol.

Mr. Pai stated, “Stratos is emerging as one of Latin America’s most promising renewable fuel companies, and the reception from yesterday’s audience reinforced our contention that there continues to be strong interest in renewable fuels from Latin America and other emerging markets.”

He continued to say, “Based on the demonstrated success in their homeland alternative energy endeavors, Europe offers a sophisticated biofuel and alternative energy investor market that understands the capital needs of emerging players in the space, as well as the benefits of sugarcane ethanol versus other feedstocks. With sugarcane ethanol a unique biofuel that

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW) is a low cost sugarcane ethanol producer focused on becoming a leader in Latin America’s emerging sugarcane ethanol industry. The company engages in the production, processing and distribution of sugarcane ethanol in Peru. Stratos’ interest in sugarcane is fueled by the increasing demand for ethanol, tax incentives and blending mandates sweeping the world.

According to a recent article, Peru’s governor, Cesar Trelles, predicts that northwest Peru will someday produce 400 million gallons of ethanol each year. While this represents only 7 percent of the ethanol sold in America in 2006, the demand for ethanol as an alternative fuel source is rising, growing 30 percent in 2006 and still climbing.

Peru’s favorable weather conditions allow for more ethanol production, and evolving environmental laws are also boosting supply. Many U.S. states require a blend of ethanol and gasoline, and automakers are hinting that more

For quite some time, in the not-too-distant past, it was widely believed that ethanol derived from corn was going to be the new wave in renewable energy. What would be better than turning crops that could be provided by the American farmer into decreased dependency on foreign oil? The problem with corn, when all is said and done, is that it happens to be a terrible candidate for producing ethanol.

Studies have shown that it takes more energy to produce the corn required to make a gallon of ethanol, than that same gallon provides. Dave Pimentel, a professor at Cornell University, has been studying the levels of energy used in corn production since 1970. According to Pimentel, farmers use about 1.3 gallons of gasoline to grow and harvest the corn needed to produce enough ethanol to replace one gallon of gas on the consumer

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB), a company focused on becoming a leader in the sugarcane ethanol industry in Latin America, announced that it has appointed Tom Snyder as its new Chief Executive Officer. Since he has served as Stratos’ President since 2nd quarter 2008, Snyder is already familiar with the company’s environment and growth potential. Co-Founder and outgoing CEO Carlos Antonio Salas will now take on the role of Business Development Office and focus on pursuing expansion opportunities.

“We’re very fortunate to have such depth in our management team at Stratos and to be able to pull from within our ranks to appoint such an experienced executive as our new Chief Executive. Tom’s vast experience executing large industrial projects across the globe lends well to continue Stratos’ growth and we look forward to his stewardship,” stated Steve Magami, Chairman of the Board.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW) is a low cost sugarcane ethanol producer focused on becoming a leader in Latin America’s emerging sugarcane ethanol industry. The sugarcane ethanol market is a growing segment of the renewable fuel industry and the Company is uniquely positioned to grow at a rapid pace.

The Company is currently expanding its production capacity of ethanol to 4MMgy and its sugar capacity to 1,000 tcd. Stratos’ multi-phase growth strategy has been strategically developed and aims to reach an ethanol production capacity of 154 MMgy, which is to be completely supplied by the Company’s own sugarcane plantations.

The process of producing ethanol from sugar is more simple and efficient than converting corn into ethanol. While sugar only requires yeast fermentation and removal of water, corn requires additional cooking and the application of enzymes. The ethanol produced from sugar has a high purity of 95%, matching the purity of ethanol produced from
