Exousia biofuel plant close to completion
Fuel provider Exousia Advanced Materials headquartered in New York, US, has nearly completed its new biodiesel production facility, which is expected to begin operations later on in the year.
Maintenance and re-tooling of the plant, which is located in South Carolina, are well underway and will start delivering biodiesel orders in August.
Wayne Rodrigue, chairman and CEO of Exousia, said: ‘Domestic, clean energy production and the restoration of green collar jobs in America has to be a priority for us and for our government, especially in light of the current situation in the Gulf.’
The refinery, which has the capacity to produce 36 million gallons of biodiesel a year, was supposed to have already opened but was postponed. Rodrigue explains: ‘The opening had been delayed awaiting favourable Congressional action on a fuel credit. While we still expect that favourable action, the current demand for biodiesel has created a unique opportunity for the facility to open now. Orders are in place and will begin delivery in August.
