PRESS  RELEASE  June  17,  2010    First  Commercial  Biodiesel  Produced  in  Alaska  Alaska  Green  Waste  Solutions  begins  production  in  their  new  biodiesel  plant  designed  and  built  by  Pacific  Biodiesel  Technologies    On  June  9,  2010  the  first  commercial  biodiesel  was  produced  in  the  state  of  Alaska.    Alaska  Green  Waste  Solutions  began  production  in  its  new  Anchorage  biodiesel  plant  and  is  celebrating  with  a  grand  opening  on  Thursday,  June  17.    The  plant  has  a  capacity  of  1,000  gallons  per  day  and  is  the  perfect  solution  for  disposing  of  waste  cooking  oil  and  producing  a  clean,  reusable  fuel  in  any  location.    “This  is  a  great  example  of  the  community-­‐based  model  we  believe  in,”  said  Bob  King,  President  of  Pacific  Biodiesel.    “Here  we  have  a  city  which  has  very  limited  options  for  feedstock  because  of  the  harsh  growing  conditions,  yet  they  can  still  be  producing  their  own  sustainable  fuel.    Use  the  resources  in  your  area  and  it  can  happen.”    Constructed  in  Salem,  Oregon  by  Pacific  Biodiesel  Technologies  &  JVNW,  the  plant  was  dissembled  for  shipment  and  reassembled  in  Anchorage.    Built  in  six  shipping  containers,  the  facility  includes  storage  for  feedstock,  biodiesel  and  glycerin,  utilities  and  the  biodiesel  process  system.    It  can  be  shipped  anywhere,  assembled  on  site  and  ready  for  production  quickly.    Pacific  Biodiesel  Technologies  was  contracted  to  design  and  build  the  plant  for  Alaska  Green  Waste  Solutions,  who  plans  on  using  most  of  the  biodiesel  for  its  fleet  of  refuse  collection  trucks  operated  by  its  sister  company,  Alaska  Waste.  Alaska  Waste  provides  solid  waste  and  recycling  services  to  Alaska  customers  including  homes,  schools,  businesses,  governmental  and  state  facilities.    With  the  largest  refuse  fleet  in  the  state,  using  biodiesel  is  an  important  part  of  Alaska  Waste’s  commitment  to  recycling  and  sustainability.    Biodiesel  is  a  cleaner-­‐burning,  non-­‐toxic  alternative  to  petroleum  diesel.    Even  in  blends,  emissions  of  smoke,  carcinogens,  aromatics  and  other  pollutants  are  reduced.    Made  from  vegetable  and  /  or  animal  fats,  biodiesel  can  be  used  in  any  unmodified  diesel  engine.    Quality  commercial  biodiesel  must  meet  ASTM  standards  

and  can  be  used  successfully  year-­‐round,  even  in  the  coldest  of  climates,  if  blended  with  diesel  when  temperatures  dip  below  freezing.      About  Pacific  Biodiesel  Technologies    Headquartered  in  Salem,  Oregon,  Pacific  Biodiesel  Technologies  provides  engineering,  consulting  and  laboratory  services  needed  for  profitable  community-­‐based  production  of  ASTM  quality  biodiesel  from  multiple  feedstocks.    Over  the  past  ten  years,  PBT  has  continually  refined  and  improved  biodiesel  process  technology.    The  newest,  super-­‐efficient,  robust  process  technology  utilizes  high  FFA  feedstock  and  features  methanol  recovery,  high  quality  glycerin  and  superior  ASTM  fuel  quality.    PBT  has  a  proven  track  record  with  12  facility  installations  to  date,  the  latest  with  their  dedicated  system  fabrication  partner,  JVNW.      About  Pacific  Biodiesel,  Inc.    Since  opening  and  operating  the  very  first  retail  biodiesel  pump  in  America,  Pacific  Biodiesel,  Inc.  has  built  a  sold  reputation  as  a  leading  pioneer  in  the  rapidly  expanding  biodiesel  industry.    With  more  than  a  decade  of  experience  in  all  aspects  of  the  biodiesel  business,  they  have  industry-­‐leading  accomplishments  no  other  U.S.  company  can  claim.    The  company  is  experienced  with  every  aspect  of  the  biodiesel  industry  from  oil  and  grease  trap  pumping,  feedstock  recovery,  biodiesel  production,  process  technology  and  engineering,  fuel  quality  assurance  and  advanced  R  &  D.    Pacific  Biodiesel’s  vision  has  remained  constant:  to  create  truly  sustainable,  community-­‐based  biodiesel  production  facilities  in  order  to  maximize  the  economic  and  environmental  benefits  and  minimize  energy  consumption.    For  more  information  please  visit  www.biodiesel.com
