Manufacturers of motor vehicle fuels in the US are stipulated to secure the said registration prior to the commencement of sales.
KiOR’s president and chief executive officer Fred Cannon said that the registration marked an important milestone for the company.
"The receipt of the Part 79 registrations for our cellulosic gasoline and diesel from EPA coincides perfectly with the start-up of our first production facility in Columbus, Mississippi next month."
"With registration for both our cellulosic gasoline and diesel completed, KiOR now has a clear path to market to provide renewable cellulosic fuels for American cars and trucks during the fourth quarter of this year," added Cannon.
