The first production trial of Amelot Oil's Barbados refining facility ended in the successful production of approximately 100 gallons of refined biodiesel last week (8th August). Following the trail additional staff have been hired at the facility and  regular production is scheduled to begin in September, 2008.

"We are very pleased to have arrived at this milestone," said Handel Callender, General Manager of Amelot Oil Barbados. "The successful completion and testing of our Barbados refining facility means that in time, the company will be able to increase output of refined biodiesel to a level which will one day satisfy this small island's demand for affordable, clean energy," Mr. Callender continued.

"The successful launch of our Barbados refining and production facilities means that the company can continue with the business of securing feedstock -- in this case, used cooking oil -- and pursuing relationships with potential consumers of Amelot biodiesel," said Aziz Hirji, Chief Executive of Amelot Holdings, Inc.
