When we started working with Extreme Biodiesel last month, we knew this was a story investors had to hear about. The company’s 30-day chart below (including the Easter break) demonstrates investors are indeed discovering the company.

Extreme Biodiesel is a great potential opportunity because it creates product with opportunity.

PRODUCT - The company produces real biodiesel for real customers. Just yesterday, the company announced it had been selected by 2 major California supermarkets to turn their waste into biodiesel to power their trucks and generators.

In addition, just a few days before that, EBD was selected as the manufacturer of mobile biodiesel processors for business and military applications in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.

OPPORTUNITY - The timing for Extreme Biodiesel is right. Why? First, high oil prices and the fear of continued rising prices is driving consumers and business to seek alternatives. Solar, wind and others are great but they do require major changes. Biodiesel requires no major changes to implement.

Second, as the global economic system remains tight, companies/government are examining every aspect of their operations for savings. Bio waste represents a huge opportunity as organizations can convert their disposal expenses into revenue.

CONCLUSION

Extreme Biodiesel is working into a perfect biodiesel storm. Yes, the company still has to continue executing but when California Supermarkets and overseas military are selecting them to deliver biodiesel solutions, I believe execution now comes down to degree of success.

There are plenty of small-cap companies talking about alternative energy / green energy … but they have very little to back it up.

Extreme Biodiesel is a small-cap company that values action over words … and they’re using the web to give you an opportunity to look in on their fabulous operations.

If you believe energy prices are going to remain high … and that consumers need a cleaner, renewable and cheaper alternative to traditional fuel, then take 3 minutes to view the photos and videos below.

What is Biodiesel?

In today’s world, one can hardly escape the subject of fuel prices and fuel supply. For a number of different reasons people have turned from standard petroleum based fuel sources and looked for a reliable alternative fuel. Biodiesel is one such fuel that experts and enthusiasts have embraced as not only their idea of a “fuel of the future”, but is also their choice for a fuel for today. But, what is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a fuel containing some of the same traits as conventional diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made from high quality vegetable oils through a manufacturing process that can be done on a large scale – such as a refinery, or on a small scale – such as a home Biodiesel kit. The primary use for Biodiesel right now is as a substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel.
