P.E Goes Biogreen

This June 2010 Biogreen Diesel has opened a new refinery in Port Elizabeth. Biogreen Diesel is a successful renewable energy company which uses patented state of the art jet reactor to produce pollution reducing biodiesel from both virgin and waste oil.

“ This is an exciting time for us as a country with the energy and buzz of the world cup, and double exciting for Biogreen as a company as we are opening our second refinery in less than two years” comments Jeff Theodor, Director of Biogreen Diesel.

Biogreen started at the beginning of 2009 and its main clients include Pick n Pay , Spar and Cape Concrete as well as a number of smaller companies who are environmentally conscious about their operations and wish to reduce their carbon emissions.

“Biogreen started off as an idea to produce biodiesel from my garage from the waste oil of my restaurant ,Wasabi . Two years down the line we are a successful business and looking forward to expand not too far in the future” says Roy de Gouveia , Managing Director of Biogreen Diesel.

Some of Biogreen current projects are a project with the Round Table on sustainable Biofuels and WWF International on developing and field testing a certification module for sustainable biofuel feedstock production that prevent displacement of food production, thereby minimizing the risk of indirect impacts.
Biodiesel has a strong solvent property which has the benefit of keeping your engine clean and thus lasting longer. The fact that biodiesel is a stronger solvent means it removes a lot of dirt and grime that has been deposited in your fuel tank and pipes from when the vehicle used mineral diesel. Studies have shown that using biodiesel can in fact extend the life of a diesel engine.

Biogreen Diesel is extremely happy about expanding and that people are becoming more aware of the planet and how we need to look after it. Biogreen plans to open in Johannesburg later this year and hopes to reduce more emissions from the transport sector on a national level.

Oil- Reports record sales

Biogreen oil reports record sales day. This is part of the process to close the loop on feedstock from oil cowboys in South Africa. The issue with waste oil to Biodiesel in South Africa has become of major concern to Biogreen as they uncover more & more industry players that are trading waste oil, wher it in turn falls into the hands of people that bleach it sell it back into poorer areas.

Roy de Gouveia says "we are different to the competition in that we are not competition. Our focus is on securing the waste oil that the hospitality industry produces & turn it into Biodiesel to help the enviroment". Biogreen oil is different why? They are offering the same product that is being sold into the hospitality industry at the moment. The difference is that they are offering it for cheaper and offering a better service to the hospitality industry. With top hotels & resturants on board, Biogreen oil is making great strides in closing the gap on the competition to secure Market share.

Biogreen Oil- Large Restaurant group converting oil

One of the largest restaurant & take away groups in South Africa is changing their current oil provider to Biogreen oil. They firmly believe that the process of Biogreen oil to Biogreen diesel is the route that all establishments should be taking. The general sentiment is that waste oil is being used by the staff because of economics & that they should be educated to understand what happens to the varnish like substance once it has been used.

Roy de Gouveia from Biogreen says "we are proud to the have the group onboard. This is a milestone in the war on waste oil being manipulated by oil cowboys for ill gains. The knock on effect of what happens to the oil in the poorer communities for peoples health, as well as how the hospitality industry is being sold their oil back bleached is of grave concern."

The group who will currently run the Western Cape for June, is excited in helping the enviroment, especially after the recent press of 100 months to irreperable damage to our Biosphere.

Winter is Cold!

In a recent analysis from waste oil, Biogreen has noticed a major decline in Feedstock for Biodiesel. The reason for this is mainly because of traders, that are selling the waste oil to feed, soap & paint industries.

The one major concern that stands out above all others, is unscrupulous companies that are taking the waste oil from the Hospitality industry, bleaching it & selling it back to the industry. They are also bottling it and selling it into the poorer areas in the townships of South Africa.

This oil is high in free fatty acids which in turn enhances HIV, Tuberculosis (TB) and is highly carcinogenic. The public and especially in the poorer areas are unaware of this happening and assume that the oil that they are cooking with is of good quality.

Urgent action needs to be taken to make sure that these companies are taken to task. Comprehensive testing for this industry should me mandatory to make sure that the public is not being Poisoned.
