Description:
Initially, we used tropical fats/oils (Brazilian) for their bioactive components. An opportunity has arisen, based on Brazlian legislated mandates, for production of biodiesel. Biodiesel (2%, soon 5%) is a mandated addition to all of the diesel sold in Brazil. We will build several medium sized biodiesel plants in the state of Minas Gerais to produce biodiesel from indigenous Brazilian fat/oil sources. We have a small group of Brazilian businessman, one Brazilian scientist and one American scientist in place.
