Japan's largest Bio-Diesel Fuel Factory Goes into Full Operation in Kyoto

2009.07.25 Sat

Revo International Inc., a Japan's pioneering biodiesel fuel (BDF) manufacturer and seller based in Kyoto, started the full-scale operation of Japan's largest BDF factory in Kyoto on April 10, 2009.

The factory has a daily production capacity of 30,000 liters of BDF. Two large tanks are installed on the premises, each of which stores up to 110,000 liters of product or materials. This is the first ultra-low-emission fuel production facility in Japan, utilizing glycerin, a byproduct of the production process, as a heat source.

Revo's BDF dubbed C-FUEL, which is made from used cooking oil, has been used in about 300 of Kyoto city's official vehicles for nearly 10 years. Using 100 percent BDF for entire route, the company also completed the Dakar Rally in 2007. With the factory in full operation, Revo plans to increase their efforts to popularize the safe and high-quality BDF.
