Miamisburg, Ohio-based biodiesel technology provider Jatrodiesel Inc. made a strong showing in the 2013 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing companies, ranking 768 overall and 32 out of the top 100 energy companies.
“RFS2 (the federal renewable fuel standard) coupled with advanced technologies that we offer, plus the breadth of experience we have in the field with more than 15 biodiesel plants all over the world, is helping us grow the company,” Jatrodiesel President and CEO Raj Mosali told Biodiesel Magazine. “We couldn’t be more thankful to a proactive biodiesel board, our customers, vendors and lastly our valued and hardworking employees.”
Mosali said he hopes Jatrodiesel’s patented marquee technology that eliminates use of acid and catalyst, a process that operates at supercritical pressure and temperatures, is going to catapult the company further into a leading position in the market. “We built a commercial version using this technology and it is performing above and beyond our expectations,” Mosali said. “We are excited about it, and we are actively looking for partners who own or have access to feedstock.”
