Since March, the company has been testing various small batches of fuel and it says that it is now confident the plant is running well and will produce ASTM specification fuel on a consistent basis.
The company has begun production on a batch basis and is using cash flow from sales will ramp production up while remaining cash flow positive.
In a written statement it said once it reaches a consistent production rate the company will apply for credit lines that will allow us to move to full production and beyond.
"We are very excited now to be finally here and in the biofuel business," said W2 Energy CEO Michael McLaren.
" Our current plan is to ramp up production with our system to its maximum of 7,500 liters of waste vegetable oil per day. Once we hit those targets we will expand the plant to double that capacity to 15,000 liters per day," McLaren said.
The company said now that production has begun, it will apply for the government biofuel production subsidy.
