KiOR receives fuel registration from EPA for renewable diesel
17 August 2012
KiOR, Inc., a next-generation renewable fuels company, has been Part 79 (Title 40 CFR Part 79) registration for its Renewable Diesel Blendstock 5 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The registration, required by manufacturers of motor vehicle fuels by the EPA, must be completed prior to the sale of the product. In July, KiOR had received Part 79 registration for its Renewable Gasoline Blendstock 5. (Earlier post.)
he receipt of the Part 79 registrations for our cellulosic gasoline and diesel from EPA coincides perfectly with the start-up of our first production facility in Columbus, Mississippi next month.
With registration for both our cellulosic gasoline and diesel completed, KiOR now has a clear path to market to provide renewable cellulosic fuels for American cars and trucks during the fourth quarter of this year.
—Fred Cannon, KiOR's President and CEO
