Item 8.01 Other Events.
Dynamic Fuels Operations Update.
The Dynamic Fuels Geismar Plant produced an average of 1.1 million gallons of renewable fuel products per month during the six months of commissioning from November, 2010 to April, 2011. During this time, we demonstrated the plant’s core technology at 120% of design capacity, but we had mechanical issues that reduced overall reliability. In May, the plant produced 3.1 million gallons or approximately 50% of design capacity, demonstrating improved reliability. The plant is currently running at approximately 100% of design rates or 75 million gallons per year and the feedstock supply chain is in place enabling sustained production at this rate.
