Sirona Fuels expands its biodiesel operations

4 February 2009

Through its acquisition of Blue Sky Biofuels, Sirona Fuels, an alternative fuels company, plans to expand its biodiesel business.

The California-based refinery allows for the production of 15 million gallons of biodiesel a year and is currently generating ASTM-spec grade from recycled cooking oil.

Sirona hopes to produce the majority of its biodiesel from jatropha but the end of 2009.

Paul Lacrouciere, CEO of Sirona Fuels, said, ‘There is no better way for a company to go green or get ahead of rising oil prices and upcoming low-carbon fuel standards than with a fixed-price, high-quality biodiesel like Sirona offers. Sirona’s biodiesel exceeds ASTM standards and has among the highest quality of any biofuel in America. We plan to grow the company exponentially by acquiring more refineries and aggressively expanding our local and international feedstock supplies.’
