BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - August 12, 2009) - Rocky Mountain Sustainable Enterprises, LLC
(RMSE), a leading provider of smart, sustainable biofuels, announced today
that it has entered into a biodiesel fuel supply agreement with fuel
distributor Gray Oil Company, Inc., to supply up to 4.5 million gallons per
year of biodiesel fuel for a three-year term.
The agreement has an estimated revenue value of $45 million over the
three-year term, according to RMSE CEO Aaron Perry, adding that the revenue
value could be millions of dollars higher if energy market prices trend
upward.
The biodiesel will be supplied from RMSE's Colorado bioXchange refinery, a
$5 million plant that breaks ground this fall and will be the state's only
producer of premium biodiesel from sustainable resources, producing fuel
that meets federal ASTM standards.
"We are excited to be working with Gray Oil, a premier fuel distributor in
the Rocky Mountain region, and market leader in the adoption and promotion
of biofuels," said Perry. "This agreement helps us close the loop on truly
sustainable biodiesel supplies that are regionally sourced, produced and
used, while delivering highest value to our restaurant and commercial
facility customers."
Gray Oil chose to work with Rocky Mountain Sustainable Enterprises because
RMSE's product delivers much higher value than other biodiesel fuels on the
market.
"The fact that RMSE is deploying state-of-the-art biodiesel production
technology that can produce the fuel from recycled feedstocks such as used
cooking oil while maintaining the highest quality and fuel performance
specifications, allows us to deliver a premium biodiesel fuel product to
our customers at price points much more competitive with petroleum diesel,"
said Tom Gray, CFO of Gray Oil.
Colorado bioXchange™ plant coming on-line
After a three-year due diligence technology period, RMSE selected the
advanced multi-feedstock production technology from a European company for
its Colorado bioXchange™ biodiesel production facility under development
in Fort Morgan, Colorado. At the time of commissioning -- expected to be
in the summer of 2010 -- the Colorado bioXchange ™ production facility
will have an initial annual production capacity of 4.5 million gallons per
year -- the equivalent of 0.5% of the diesel fuel consumed per year in the
Colorado market.
Supplied in significant part by RMSE's vertically integrated recycOil®
commercial cooking oil recycling service and managed through the Cleantech
company's total supply chain, IT and logistics technologies, the Colorado
bioXchange™ will close the loop by converting a significant
waste-resource stream into an environmentally friendly and economically
competitive energy product.
