The company has now been qualified to be an importer of record of biodiesel into the US and to itself generate RIN’s (renewable identification numbers) in the US.
Methes Energies president Nicholas Ng said, "We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring our Sombra facility to full current production capacity."
"At current prices these new arrangements can add up to $4 million per month to our biodiesel sales," Nicholas said.
"Also, the fact that we can now sell directly to U.S. buyers will make things much easier for us and enhance our ability to attract additional U.S. Customers."
"This might get us to increase capacity in Sombra sooner rather than later."
