Planet Resource Recovery, Inc.'s CEO Interviewed by Calgary Herald Stating PetroLuxus(TM) Is the "Silver Bullet" to Canada's "Dirty Oil"


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - February 23, 2009) - Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PLANET) (PINKSHEETS: PRRY), developer, manufacturer and marketer of the PetroLuxus™ family of green technology products, announced today that the company's CEO, Mr. Kurt Neubauer, was recently interviewed by Shaun Polczer of the Calgary Herald. Mr. Polczer interviewed Mr. Neubauer on the eve of President Barack Obama's first visit to Canada where energy and economic issues were expected to dominate talks. Primary concerns of the US are the environmental impact of extracting oil from oil sands and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental menaces of Canada's "Dirty Oil."

Canada ranks second in terms of global proven crude oil reserves (15 per cent of world reserves), after Saudi Arabia's 173 billion barrels. Oilsands production of more than 1.2 million barrels a day accounts for approximately 42 per cent of Canada's total crude output. Oilsands producers move enough overburden and oilsands every two days to fill Toronto's Rogers Centre or New York's Yankee Stadium. Current extraction process of oil from oilsands is estimated to emit three times the global warming emissions compared to conventional oil extraction & refining, additionally rendering vast tailing ponds of sludge that threaten the environment.

In the Calgary Herald article, Mr. Polczer writes, "But Kurt Neubauer, president and founder of Houston-based Planet Resource Recovery Inc., thinks he has a magic bullet for solving the environmental problems of the oilsands. Using a proprietary chemical catalyst, he claims to be able to recover 99 per cent of the oil from sand without any greenhouse gas emissions."
