Gushan Resumes Beijing Operations Following Completion of 2008 Olympics

NEW YORK, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gushan Environmental Energy Limited ("Gushan" or the "Company"; NYSE: GU), China's largest producer of biodiesel as measured by annual production capacity, today announced that it had resumed its operations at its Beijing plant yesterday.

Gushan temporarily suspended operations at its Beijing plant from August 1, 2008 to September 20, 2008 due to heightened enforcement of traffic control measures adopted by the Beijing municipal government prior to and during Beijing's hosting of the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic games, which the Company believes had restricted the ability of its suppliers to deliver raw materials and rendered biodiesel production impractical at its Beijing plant.
