Mercuria Acquires German Biofuel Plant

LONDON, November 23 - Mercuria Energy has acquired 3B Biofuels Gmbh & Co. KG, a leading
European bio-diesel refinery with 250,000 MT of fully operational production
capacity. The plant is located in Brunsbuttel, Germany, at the confluence of
the Elbe River and the Kiel canal, approximately eighty kilometers from
Hamburg. This strategic location is close to the main commodity and refinery
ports of Hamburg and the Benelux countries, providing competitive sourcing
and selling opportunities. Following an upgrade which was completed in June
2009, the plant is a state-of-the-art facility.

The Mercuria Energy Group Ltd is an international group of companies
active over a wide spectrum of global energy markets including crude oil and
refined petroleum products, natural gas, power, coal, biodiesel, vegetable
oils and carbon emissions. With its largest trading floor in Geneva,
Switzerland and offices in twenty countries, Mercuria Energy is one of the
world's five largest independent energy traders. The company also owns
storage terminals in Europe and China, and upstream oil investments in the
U.S., Canada and Argentina. For more information see: www.mercuria.com

The acquisition of 3B Biofuels, with its multi-feedstock technology will
help Mercuria to efficiently meet its customers' need for diesel that is
pre-blended to include mandatory bio-fuel components. As regulatory
requirements continue to evolve, the plant will help Mercuria to provide the
correct customized blend on demand for its customers.
