In South Africa, Biogreen Diesel announced that it has opened a new refinery in Port Elizabeth, using its jet reactor to produce pollution reducing biodiesel from both virgin and waste oil. Biogreen started at the beginning of 2009 and its main clients include Pick n Pay , Spar and Cape Concrete as well as a number of smaller companies who are environmentally conscious about their operations and wish to reduce their carbon emissions.
Some of Biogreen current projects are a project with the Round Table on sustainable Biofuels and WWF International on developing and field testing a certification module for sustainable biofuel feedstock production that prevent displacement of food production, thereby minimizing the risk of indirect impacts. Biogreen plans to open in Johannesburg later this year and hopes to reduce more emissions from the transport sector on a national level.
