Our Story

“After spending my early childhood in a heavily-polluted third world city (Bangkok, Thailand) my family and I experienced first-hand the dire consequences of our world’s dirty energy habits.  My father inspired me to follow in his footsteps, learning chemistry so that I could understand the foundation of these complex energy and pollution problems.   For years we thought-over the problem together, searching for a disruptive technology. To make the significant impact we dreamed about, any new technology would have to meet some very challenging of criteria, primarily being immediately implementable and economically viable on a global scale. The last 15 years of my father’s life were spent developing exactly that technology for diesel and biodiesel fuel made from inexpensive, non-toxic, renewable ingredients. It is my duty to commercialize this technology, so it may benefit our planet and all of its people.”
