BioJet, Council of Energy Resource Tribes form strategic partnership for aviation biofuels

In Colorado, the Council of Energy Resource Tribes (CERT) today announced formation of a strategic business relationship with BioJet International. CERT is comprised of 57 sovereign Indian tribes as members. CERT members collectively own and manage more than 30% of the coal west of the Mississippi and 10% of known national oil and gas reserves in the United States. CERT members also manage millions of acres of agricultural lands from which feedstock for biofuels may be grown.

Mitch Hawkins, Chairman and CEO of BioJet, said “We envision the scope of our business relationship broadly with CERT to include at least $1 billion worth of joint projects over a ten year period locating feedstock generation and refining operations to provide biofuels for commercial airlines and ground transportation at key locations throughout the western United States.”BioJet International is a supply chain integrator in renewable biojet fuel and related co- products which include green diesel for the aviation and related commercial transportation sectors.
