What We Do

The Company buys industrial grade glycerin which is a co-product produced from biodiesel and sells it to boiler plants as an alternative bunker fuel. Bunker Fuel is a type of liquid fuel, which is fractionally distilled from crude oil. In comparison with other petroleum products, bunker fuel is extremely crude and highly polluting. The hydrocarbon chains in bunker fuel are very long, and this fuel is highly vicious as a result. Bunker fuel, is also heavily contaminated with various substances, which cannot be removed, so when it is burned, it pollutes heavily. Crude Glycerin is the primary co-product of the process that produces biodiesel and equals approximately 10% of the quantity of biodiesel produced.
