Description:
Future Fuels is a brand new corporation based out of Riverside County in Southern California. The company’s initial focus will be to introduce clean burning E85 Ethanol to city of Hemet, California with the long term goal of spreading throughout Southern California. This presents a great opportunity for the company because of governed mandates placed on automotive industry. Fifty percent of all vehicles built in the US must be designed to burn E85 (flex fuel) by 2012. Chevrolet is already meeting the mandate. Quick drives through the car dealerships one mile from the proposed location shows most vehicles are flex fuel compliant. In addition, it will be the only E85 fuel station within fifteen miles. None currently exist in Hemet.
This is a start-up company owned by partners Robert (Rob) Nelson and Ronald (Ron) Mecum. These two make a perfect business partnership. Rob has fourteen years of experience in fuel related industries and hazardous material handling and Ron has 22 years experience in the petro-chemical industry and has a Master of Business Administration from University of Phoenix. Together, they both have more than 15 years of management experience. Ron will deal with the financial side of the business and Rob will deal with day to day operations.
