US Company Will Export Biodiesel to the UK from the Country
by Candida Acosta (Listin Dario (Google Translation)) The ambassador of the Dominican Republic in Washington, Sonia Guzmán, revealed that the American company Ridge Partners will settle in Jicomé, on the Northwest Line of the country, to produce biodiesel from solid waste and export the fuel to the United Kingdom.
He indicated that the plant is located in Maryland and is only waiting to close a legal permit to start in the country and export biodiesel in two years, because the Hydrocarbons law does not allow sales in the local market.
Exports will be made from Puerto Plata. The plant will be in Jicomé and they will buy solid waste (garbage) in all neighboring communities to process the biodiesel to export it refined.
Guzmán explained that with the purchase of waste, the Maryland private company will leave US $ 0.5 cents to each community to be used for social development programs. READ MORE
