Green Star Products to construct 2 Mgy algal biodiesel facility

In Utah, Green Star Products announced it has signed a contract to build a biodiesel facility in conjunction with its West Coast-based Algae-to-Biodiesel project. According to Green Star, the company has commenced construction of 13 modules required for the processing of algae oil and other low cost available oils to produce biodiesel.

The contract states that Green Star will build these modules at cost and will earn Green Star a future equity position and cash flows from the facility. The algae to biodiesel plant will be rated initially at 2 Mgy and may be expanded in the future. The algae bioreactor system associated with this biodiesel plant is still under negotiation.
