Who are OHY's Customers?
There are four principal customers for OHY Biodiesel...
l Existing Fuel Distributors
l Government and the Military
l Farmers and Local Schools and Private Fleets
l Growing numbers of POV owners who elect to purchase diesel automobiles
Initially biodiesel will be produced for existing fuel oil distributors who are being mandated by school systems, state transportation agencies, municipal fleets, etc, to deliver blended petroleum diesel fuel that contains 2-30% vegetable diesel. Therefore, producers have only short hauls from production facilities to distributors holding tanks.
Farmers, school systems and local fleet operators in proximity to the OHY distribution network will benefit from direct purchase of B100, for self blending, or burning as straight fuel.
Later, as more personal automobiles are equipped with diesel engines, there will be a growth market for direct to consumer distribution of biodiesel such as is now being piloted in some markets by country singer Willie Nelson.
Because OHY is a minority-owned company, it will qualify for state, and Federal procurement programs and military contracts through prime contract suppliers who will be mandated to source from minority vendors.
