GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc.
Business Overview

GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based alternative fuel production company. GeoGreen’s business is to recycle and process waste restaurant fryer oil (WVO) into commercial grade 100% purity biodiesel fuel, and to market this fuel to distributors, wholesalers and end-users.

Biodiesel is a clean burning, biodegradable, non toxic alternative to petroleum-based fossil fuels. Until recently, biodiesel made up only a small portion of worldwide diesel production. As the energy industry continues its historic shift toward alternative fuels, biodiesel demand has grown significantly. This shift is primarily due to increasing worldwide demand for oil, the increasing price of oil, peak oil concerns, unrest in the Middle East, and increased environmental awareness. GeoGreen's first biodiesel production facility is located in Vernon, CA, approximately 3 miles from downtown Los Angeles, and is scheduled to be fully operational in January 2010. This first “pilot plant” is uniquely situated within the Los Angeles city limits, in a 19,800 square foot indoor facility, providing GeoGreen with distinct localization advantages in the WVO recycling and biodiesel markets.

The majority of GeoGreen’s competitors use virgin oil as feedstock to produce biodiesel. Virgin oil is subject to fluctuating commodity pricing and supply-side uncertainties caused by global food shortages, ethanol production and other factors. Many industry experts question its long-term viability as a basis for biodiesel production. Unlike these competitors, GeoGreen uses WVO (used fryer oil from restaurants), providing an ongoing, plentiful, local supply of feedstock to produce biodiesel.

The appeal of biodiesel is greater than ever in the current economic and social climate. Governments and citizens all over the world are aware of the environmental impact of fossil fuels. By reducing unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide emissions, sulfur dioxide emissions and particulate matter, biodiesel is already making a positive impact on the environment. Specifically, biodiesel reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 80% compared with petroleum diesel. As reported by The National Biodiesel Board, “In 2007 alone, biodiesel’s contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions was the equivalent of removing 700,000 passenger vehicles from America’s roadways.”

GeoGreen is a rare business that merges social responsibility and progressive “global thinking” with quality products in an established, growing market.
