  • Expanded our Camarillo facilities to manufacture reactors for at least four plants annually from a single shift operation.
  • Manufactured and are assembling the four reactors required for our Wilmington plant.
  • Ran the Foothill pilot plant and produced biodiesel that significantly exceeded the conversions necessary to meet industry specifications based on pork fat.
  • Substantially completed the first modular plant, which is being readied for shipment to Wilmington.
  • Laid the ground work for rapid execution of licensing for commercial plants and international facilities following the start up of the Wilmington plant.
