Vancouver, BC-–West Coast Reduction Ltd. (“WCRL”), a member of the Biodiesel Association of Canada (“BAC”), announced that they are in the biodiesel distribution business.

“We are excited to provide the British Columbia marketplace with biodiesel at a very competitive price while we consider plans to build a biodiesel plant in Western Canada.” says Ridley Bestwick, WCRL’s CIO.

“We plan to initially distribute B100 (100% biodiesel) meeting ASTM D 6751 specifications to customers on Vancouver Island and in the Greater Vancouver area.”

WCRL is a leader in Canada’s rendering industry, operating technologically advanced rendering plants in Western Canada.

WCRL renders inedible animal by-products from the meat, poultry and fish processing industries and recycles used restaurant grease.

The removal and rendering of inedible animal by-products is an essential service that protects the environment and creates products including protein meals, fats and oils used in the world's feed, oleo-chemical, soap and biodiesel industries.

WCRL has an established 85,000 MT tank farm serviced by rail on the Vancouver Port and is well experienced in distributing fats and oils.

British Columbia showed its commitment to biodiesel in Budget 2004 when they announced preferential treatment for alternative motor fuels (AMF) that included biodiesel when blended with clear diesel fuel.

As a result, the biodiesel portion of the blend of biodiesel and diesel is exempt from tax.

“We commend West Coast Reduction Ltd. for showing its commitment to the biodiesel industry” stated Christine Paquette, the BAC’s Executive Director.

“This move shows Canadians and governments that industry and members of the BAC are committed to helping the biodiesel industry grow coast to coast in Canada.”
