Our mission is new technologies. The RFS levels for operations of the company as well as to help communities, cities, and advanced biofuels production will local community contractors. Our countries become more energy drive the creation of a major new alternate energy solution will literally independent by utilizing locally industry, creating a foundation for enable the creation of thousands of available biomass in the production of future technology development and entrepreneurial biomass collection BioCrude Oil as a replacement for commercial growth. The biofuels businesses that will be spawned in imported fossil crude oil. The industry is moving toward feedstock cities and local communities across BioCrude Oil, to be produced at co- options such as woody types, human our great nation and thus strengthening located oil refineries with diversified and animal wastes streams, jatropha local economies as well as providing BioCrude Oil feeds, is to be refined seeds, palm oil and algae type to name energy and fuels to the local and into “clean and green” high -quality a few.

Also, the oil yield and Biofuels Technologies Enterprises (BTE), was founded for the purpose of transforming abundant renewable biomass and waste stream feedstocks into a high-energy one-to-one replacement for fossil crude oil which is refined into clean, affordable, and renewable transportation fuels to meet tomorrows energy needs.

Algae producing crude oil from various hydro-treating, and refined into higher capture and utilize dissolved nitrogen woody, algae aquatic type, and other value transportation fuels or chemical and phosphorous present in feedstock to be used for replacing compounds. The ability to convert wastewater to support growth. These petroleum based crude oil which is such a wide range of feedstocks under plentiful nutrients would otherwise be further refined into transportation fuels hydrothermal conditions is due to the released into the environment, creating like gasoline, diesel, and jet kerosene, fundamental biological building harmful eutrophic zones as a result of as well as for the production of the blocks that are broken down and prolific algal growth. By converting many chemicals stemming from a reformed during the process. nutrient waste into a resource, we can standard barrel of fossil crude oil.
