Advanced Refining Concepts, owners of the ClearRefining technology, a proprietary pollution-free process for liquefying natural gas and other biogases to produce the company's clean fuel products, is building a new production plant in Northern Nevada, the company's first commercial plant

.

The new plant, which will be named the Peru Heights facility, is meant to produce 100,000 gallons per day of the company's inaugural GDiesel product, a clean and efficient domestically produced diesel fuel. The facility should be completed by January 2010.

Reno, Nev.-based ARC says that the 10-acre facility has room for expansion, as it sits on a 107,000-acre industrial park at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center.

"Beginning construction of this facility is an important milestone for ARC, advancing our goal of making America energy independent by reducing this country's need for foreign crude oil imports," said Peter Gunnerman, co-founder of Advanced Refining Concepts. "We expect the GDiesel produced at our Peru Heights facility initially will be used for large fleet operators, power producers or as blend stock."

The facility will employ 25 full-time workers and will consist of 10 fully automated ClearRefining units.

"The location we've selected just outside of Reno is ideal for this venture," said Gunnerman. "The facility has convenient access to natural gas, existing fuel lines and is strategically located near rail and truck lines."
