(It is my understanding, but I may be mistaken, that World Energy, who
evidently controls around 75% of the US biodiesel market, is owned by Gulf Oil)
World Energy and Dow Chemical Sign Biodiesel Production Agreement
World Energy and Dow Haltermann Custom Processing (DHCP) have joined into a
production agreement that should enhance World Energyâs Biodiesel
production and distribution capabilities and DHCPâs - a Dow business unit
comprised of operations within The Dow Chemical Co. and Johann Haltermann,
Ltd. -· DHCP will produce biodiesel at its Houston location exclusively for
World Energy in North America, sourcing the raw materials and production to
World Energyâs specifications.
ãWe are very enthusiastic about our collaboration with Dow,ä said Gene
Gebolys, founder and president of World Energy. ãDowâs global reputation
for manufacturing excellence coupled with our rigorous attention to
high-quality biodiesel production results in a win for both companies, as
well as for consumers and the environment,ä he said.
ãManufacturing Biodiesel for World Energy is yet another example of how Dow
is using its capabilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve
energy efficiency through a variety of means, including the advancement of
alternative forms of energy, ranging from fuel cell technology to renewable
feedstocks,ä said Simon Upfill-Brown, general manager of Dow Haltermann
Custom Processing. ãWe are, therefore, pleased to leverage the operations
expertise of our custom processing division to provide World Energ with the
world-class production necessary to enable the continued growth of the
