Renewable Fuel Corp Acquires Biodiesel Projects

The facilities are in the early stages of development in Dumai, Indonesia.

When at full production capacity the plants will have the ability to produce 120 million gallons of B100 biodiesel per year.

The plant projects are strategically located adjacent to a primary international shipping route and near to Kota Dumai and the port.

There is also a large of supply of agriculturally produced crude palm oil and jatropha which will be used as feedstocks.

These plants, when combined with RFC’s current facilities in Kuantan, Malaysia will create one of the largest premier biodiesel and biofuels manufacturer and distributor in the industry.

The combined nameplate capacity of all three plant facilities will be over 600,000 MT per year yielding 180 million gallons of B100 biodiesel per year.

"I have a vision of building a company that can truly leverage the worldwide biodiesel opportunity," said William Van Vliet, Chairman of Renewable Fuel Corporation.

"This new acquisition is an important addition in our strategy to build a diverse worldwide green fuel company. As Chairman I intend to pursue a strategy of creating one of the most advanced vertical providers in the biodiesel / biofuel industry. With these new biodiesel facilities we are well positioned to fulfill this strategy."
