Eco Ventures Group is pleased to provide an update on the construction of its 3.6 million gallon biodiesel plant in Groveland, Florida. Eco Ventures Group's partner in the project, Raptor Technology Group, Inc. had previously announced the signing of the contract valued at $1,600,000.

The Company also announced that it has become a voting member of the National Biodiesel Board.

The plant, housed in EVGI's 22,000 square foot facility, will produce ASTM quality biodiesel using a variety of feedstock material. Built by Raptor, the biodiesel plant uses a proven modular production system that is enhanced by its closed loop, waterless technology and advanced remote monitoring capabilities.

Randall Lanham, CEO of EVGI stated, "We are excited at the progress we have made on this state of the art biodiesel plant and expect its completion in the near future. This is the first phase of our biodiesel production plan and we anticipate commissioning of the plant by the end of this year.

"We are also proud to be a voting member of the National Biodiesel Board, the national trade association representing the biodiesel industry in the United States, it is a critical step towards EVGI producing and marketing fuels that meet ASTM standards," added Lanham.
