BIOFUEL ADVANCED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC. (BARD) is
a limited liability company incorporated in the state of
Pennsylvania, USA. The Company will be manufacturing Soy
Oil-based Biodiesel (B100). BARD has built an experienced,
capable team and has built solid relationships with industry
leaders to properly position the company for future success.
The production facility will be located on a 37 acre parcel of
land at the Keystone Industrial Port Complex (KIPC) located in
Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. KIPC was formerly the home of
U.S. Steel. Located north of Philadelphia and slightly
southwest of Trenton, New Jersey the location is easily
reached by rail and by water. The area is considered an
industrial growth area by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
as a result BARD will enjoy a ten year real estate tax
abatement. The site has direct access to a deep water port
managed by Kinder Morgan, over 75 miles of rail with two Class
1 Railroads (NS and CSX), access to three independent power
generating stations, is designated a KOIZ (Keystone
Opportunity Improvement Zone). The site is already home to
three other alternative energy companies covering wind, solar
and ethanol.
BARD has placed orders for its Bio-Diesel and Solvent
Extraction technologies from various German companies and
collaborators. BARD has contracted with Eco-Energy to
handle the sale and delivery of all biodiesel production. BARD
has also contracted with FC Stone, the largest
commodity trader in the United States to supply all of the
necessary soy beans to produce biodiesel. BARD has contracted
with Commodity Specialists Company (CSC) to market all
of its residual products (soy meal and soy hull pellets)
created by crushing soy beans.
BARD has contracted with Langan Engineering and
Environmental Services Inc. of Philadelphia for all
required site engineering and permits. BARD has a signed
contract with Tech-Start India and River Consulting
for all plant engineering, storage, and rail design and
construction. Further more, BARD has secured SKB Holdings
of Arkansas, a private investment banker, who will finance all
of the capital cost (hard assets and construction).
BARD is planning to replace the current soy bean oil feedstock
with Algae oil starting in 2010. This will reduce the
feedstock cost dramatically which in turn will increase the
profitability.
BARD currently is testing the process of growing algae in a
Bio-King photo-bioreactor and is extracting oil from algae in
its laboratory in its facility in India. BioKing a
Netherlands-based global manufacturer of biodiesel equipment
is a developer of photo-bioreactors for the production of
biodiesel and other valuable bio-commodities from algae, with
patented technology. BioKing’s technology requires low capital
investment, and has the potential to dramatically improve
biodiesel yields from algae oil.
