Markets

Markets served:

  • Regional biodiesel producers: 1 - 15 million gallon / yr (4K MT - 60K MT/yr)
  • Truck fleet operators that make their own biodiesel 
  • Biodiesel producers & distributors to government agencies; Federal, county and city fleets (mandated by Federal laws to purchase biodiesel when available).
  • Regional marine diesel fuel distributors
  • Municipal waste facilities - convert waste oil that pollutes the landfill to higher value biodiesel fuel. This plant becomes a profit center for the disposal company.
  • Rural areas in US and foreign countries. Both private companies and government agencies benefit where local high yield oil crops provide the very low cost fuel feed stock. Local areas may become energy self-sufficient using biodiesel for both electrical generators and transportation.
  • Farm coops serving regional members
  • University Engineering departments for research and development.
