New Generation Biofuels Announces First Commercial Scale Plant
Lake Mary FL (SPX) Sep 19, 2008 Renewable fuels provider, New Generation Biofuels Holdings, has announced the signing of a site lease and a terminaling services agreement to locate their first commercial scale biofuel manufacturing plant at the port location of Atlantic Terminaling in Baltimore, Maryland. Based on current projections of sales and timing to complete financing, New Generation Biofuels (NGB) expects to complete construction of the first 25 million gallon per year facility in the first quarter of 2009 and to launch production shortly thereafter. Once completed, NGB expects the facility to have a production capacity of up to 50 million gallons of second-generation biofuel a year to serve potential customers in Maryland and the mid Atlantic region. Site development work will begin in the coming weeks. As recently announced, Chicago-based ECE Design will design the plant. In addition to the production facilities to be constructed by NGB, the company will lease approximately 6 million gallons of storage tank capacity and related terminaling facilities for up to 20 years. Atlantic Terminaling will provide on site logistics services including the receipt of feedstocks and shipping of finished product using rail, barge, and truck loading and unloading facilities. "We are excited to take another step forward in developing our first commercial-scale manufacturing plant in Baltimore," said New Generation Biofuels CEO and President, David A. Gillespie. "The location at the Atlantic Terminaling site well positions us to take advantage of the projected growth in renewable energy demand throughout the eastern US." Established in 2006, New Generation Biofuels produces a renewable energy product that is different from traditional biofuels. Their second-generation biofuel is produced using a simple proprietary blending process that combines water, proprietary additives and vegetable oil or other feedstocks. This process is simpler, cleaner, less expensive and less energy intensive than traditional production methods and results in a biofuel that has superior technical and environmental performance at a lower cost than other first generation biofuels. "With our ideally situated location within the port of Baltimore and our existing storage, rail, truck and barge access infrastructure already in place, this is an ideal fit for both New Generation Biofuels and Atlantic Terminaling," said Alan Bock, President, Atlantic Terminaling. "We are very excited to be working with a company that is re-defining biofuels." Community Email This Article Comment On This Article Share This Article With Planet Earth
