The company said that the initial discussions on the renewable energy initiative entail using the Eastern Pennsylvania oil terminal facility with five above ground tanks with storage capacity of over 2.5 million gallons as the platform to produce plant and fat based bio-energy product.
El Maniel CEO Jamie Khoo said that specifically, the company is looking at converting flax seeds and animal fats into clean burning bio-diesel and as crude oil prices continue surging above $100 per barrel, clearly it is moving in the right direction and this green energy business is designated to become another profitable income stream for the company.
The company is a full service heating company involved in bio-diesel products and specializes in heating systems including forced-air and hydronic heating for commercial and industrial applications.
