About Territory Biofuels Limited

TBF owns a large scale biorefining facility located in Darwin, Northern
Territory which includes a Lurgi-designed biodiesel plant and the
largest glycerine refinery in Australia. The facility was commissioned
in 2008 at a cost of A$80 million, along with 38 million litres of
related tankage, now leased by TBF. The biodiesel plant is the largest
in Australia with a rated capacity of 140 million litres per year. The
plant was originally built to run on palm oil and food-grade vegetable
oil, however the plant was shut down in 2009 due to challenging
technical and economic conditions. TBF is in the process of raising
funds to restart the existing facility utilizing environmentally
certified, Refined Bleached & Deodorized (RBD) palm oil. In 2015, TBF
plans to integrate new feedstock pre-treatment technologies and
catalysts to process a broader range of feedstocks such as lower
quality tallow, used cooking oil and palm sludge oil; a waste product
from palm oil mill extraction.
