Biodiesel Plant has formal opening in Vaslui, Romania

ULEROM announced the formal opening of their largest facility in Vaslui, Romania.

ULEROM is
one of Romania's largest agri-business corporations.

The 7 million GPY plant is the first biodiesel production facility to operate in Eastern Europe.

The President of Romania, the honorable Traian Basescu, is invited to formally open the facility. The plant is a key element in the ability of Romania to meet the EU's requirement for 5.75% Biofuels based on the country's extensive agrarian holdings. Officials from the American Embassy in Romania were on hand to emphasize the American origin of the plant built by Greenline Industries of San Rafael, California.

"This biodiesel plant is a tribute to international cooperation, the facility was designed in the United States, built in Germany and Romania, and installed by a team from both the US and Romania," according to Adrian Porumboiu, owner of the Racova Group which encompasses ULEROM. "This facility has more than just a business reason to exist; it represents a big step in the direction of energy independence, a logical and lucrative outlet for our crops and a serious playing card in the worldwide battle against warming and pollution."
