April 13, 2008 – Vol.13 No.4 Encore BioRenewables: Waste Cooking Oil from Restaurants to Restaurant Supplier Fuel. The new joint venture of Tellurian Biodiesel and Golden State Foods (GSF) will create a closed-loop system to recycle used cooking oil into high-quality biodiesel. Encore BioRenewables plans to launch its first biodiesel production facility in Southern California in early 2009. The high-quality biodiesel produced by this closed-loop solution will be sold to trucking companies, municipal fleets and to GSF to fuel its distribution fleet, which services its customers in the quick-service restaurant industry. This first plant will begin production at a rate of five million gallons of biodiesel annually. The facility’s output will be expanded as American demand for renewable biodiesel continues to increase with the country’s accelerated transition off of foreign oil. The company plans to open additional processing plants throughout the US as the market develops for their product. These plants will be sited near locations which aggregate used cooking oil from restaurants.
In addition to used cooking oil, Encore BioRenewables will convert other recyclable domestic fats and oils into high-quality biodiesel. The company projects production of at least 100 million gallons annually, once its national network is fully operational. Tellurian, with offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, supplies the food service, manufacturing, entertainment and technology industries with biodiesel and biodiesel education. It has worked with several municipal fleets as they transition to using biodiesel, including those in the cities of Santa Monica, San Francisco, Inglewood and Beverly Hills. Golden State Foods, of Irvine, California, is one of the largest diversified suppliers to the quick service restaurant industry. The $3.3 billion company has nearly 3,000 employees worldwide.
