Methes Energy wins right to export biodiesel from Canada to US
November 1, 2012

In Nevada, Methes Energies Canada has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a Foreign Renewable Fuel Producer, making the biodiesel produced at its Sombra facility in Ontario, Canada, eligible for export to the United States. Obtaining this approval from the EPA enables Methes Energies to sell its biodiesel into the U.S., and provides its U.S. importer the ability to generate Renewable Identification Numbers (“RIN”). RINs are used in the U.S. by obligated parties to comply with certain obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (“RFS2”).
