US company Amelot is forming a subsidiary in Barbado, to bring together the assets of Native Sun NRG, which it is about to acquire. The new entity will, says Amelot,  begin production in 60 days, and should ramp up to 6,000 gallons per month very quickly. Amelot has already shipped new equipment to the island, and Native Sun NRG is also upgrading the current plant's facilities in order to increase capacity.

"There are several Parishes located throughout the island," stated Aziz Hirji, President of Amelot. "We plan to introduce yellow oil collection in every Parish. Amelot is dedicated to providing Barbados with the necessary technology in order to convert all the used yellow oil into useful, clean biodiesel fuel. We are realistically looking at having our first production facility set up and ready to produce biodiesel by September."
