Biodiesel Las Americas has completed construction of its advanced biodiesel production facility in Doral, Florida.



The plant is scaled to produce 7.5 million gallons of biodiesel per year from used cooking oil (UCO) generated from the region.



Biodiesel Las Americas said it has been granted all the required certificates of use, license, and business tax by both Miami Dade County and the city of Doral, as well as the annual operating permit from the Miami Dade Fire Rescue Department.



“These essential endorsements have effectively paved the way for the initiation of production, storage, and distribution of biodiesel and refined glycerin to the market,” the company stated. “With an estimated annual production capacity of 7.5 million gallons of biodiesel poised to enter the Florida market, tangible steps are being taken toward the establishment of a sustainable and environmentally conscious future within the state.”

Biodiesel Las Americas is currently pursuing BQ-9000 certification, a voluntary program for the accreditation of U.S. and Canadian biodiesel producers, marketers and laboratories.



The company said it is currently the sole biodiesel company in active operation within the state of Florida.



“Presently, all the used cooking oil generated within the region is dispatched to other states and, in some instances, exported overseas,” Biodiesel Las Americas stated. “[Our] presence significantly alters this landscape, as the organization is now prepared to locally consume this oil, thereby catalyzing the development of fuel alternatives, the creation of employment opportunities, and a substantial boost to the local economy.”



Biodiesel Las Americas added that its existence and operation open up access to local fuel alternatives for companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint—an option that was previously challenging to obtain, the company noted.



The company is providing guided tours of the new facility in order to offer community members and interested parties a deeper understanding of its operations.



During these tours, visitors will gain valuable insights into the advantages of the use of biodiesel in engines and a comprehensive overview of Biodiesel Las Americas’ production plans for the upcoming months.
