I’m proud to announce that on October 1st, 2010 we sold our one-millionth gallon of renewable diesel. Despite having launched our business during the greatest recession since the Great Depression, our renewable diesel sales continue to increase and attract new customers. Even with the collapse of our financial system and expiration of a key Federal Alternative Fuel Credit, we were still able to attract private investments to help grow our business. I’m very proud and appreciative to all those who supported us in our mission to keep local fuel prices low, reduce carbon emissions, and make our country more energy independent.
AMENICO’s proprietary manufacturing process produces a renewable diesel that is non-toxic, biodegradable, and carbon neutral. Every gallon used to replace fossil fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 80% and reduces the nation’s dependence on foreign oil. It is also cost competitive with fossil fuel thus helping to keep local fuel prices low.
Tony, congratulations on your first of many million gallon milestones!
