What is American Bio Energy?
American Bio Energy (ABE) is a corporation located in central Ohio that will produce an alternative fuels, in particular, biodiesel. In simple terms, ABE will make biodiesel from multiple sources such as soybean oil, canola oil, palm kernel oil, recycled fryer oil and other sources. ABE will blend biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel, and sell to distributors and consumers alike. When complete, ABE’s facility will be one of the first of its kind in the American Mid-West, and one of the largest in North America. Essentially, ABE will build a continuous process, multi-feedstock, biodiesel production, blending and distribution facility.

ABE produced Biodiesel will be good for the environment. It will keep American farmers busy growing and selling crops. It will lessen America’s dependence on foreign sources of oil. And the best part - it will be cheaper than the petroleum-based diesel fuel currently available because of a large-scale production facility.

In addition, ABE will continue to develop the biodiesel product lines and explore new technologies to improve biodiesel production. ABE will also endeavor to bring other alternative energy sources, such as more efficient ethanol fuel and hydrogen-based fuel to market.

The Problem
The United States consumes about 90 billion gallons of diesel fuel per year with an average growth of about 7% every 12 months. Higher and higher prices in petroleum-based diesel fuel are being reached daily. These high prices are primarily driven by an irreversible increase in world demand. These high prices combined with new pollution standards, tax incentives and other government actions is making the production and use of alternative fuels more and more attractive.

Unlike many of the new alternative fuels like hydrogen, biodiesel is ready today: government standards have been propagated through the industry and industry buy-in is established. Biodiesel is 100% compatible with the existing infrastructure. Biodiesel can be transported with the same methods as petroleum-based diesel, and it can be used to fuel any modern diesel engine. Additionally, biodiesel reduces harmful emissions by 73%. Biodiesel will not be the final product for securing the world’s future energy needs, but is a 100% compatible, lower cost alternative, and it is deliverable today.

How ABE Will Help Fix it
ABE will initially produce, blend and distribute biodiesel fuel. ABE will be unique among the growing number of alternative energy companies by focusing on a few major areas – Technology of development, distribution and cost management; Partnerships with crop producers and consumers such as trucking companies; and the ability to replicate the process in other locations around the globe, resulting in a distributed production model that meets the needs of energy security and the ability to cut transportation costs.

ABE plans to build a 30 million gallon production facility and two retail outlets near central Ohio. A site has been selected for its access to I-70, major state routes, and rail lines. There are currently no large-scale continuous process biodiesel production facilities in the Mid-West. Strategically locating production facilities along major transportation lines will allow ABE to establish a large customer base almost immediately. ABE plans on marketing biodiesel to local school systems, local farmers, government agencies, local distributors, trucking fleets, and area consumers for at least 15% below the cost of petroleum-based diesel.

To make this a reality, ABE requires additional funding to secure land, facilities, and equipment for the production and distribution of biodiesel and the ability to conduct research to improve upon the biodiesel product lines.  If you are interested in helping to support ABE, please contact us.

Here at ABE, we believe we will be successful in creating a sustainable business. The timing is right for a biodiesel product, ABE has an implementation plan that is financially sound and actionable, and ABE has gathered the right people to execute the plan and bring the idea to fruition.
