About PETROTEC

Since November 2006, Petrotec AG has been listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under WKN PET111, ISIN DE000PET1111. Petrotec is one of the pioneers of the German biodiesel industry. The company started as early as 1998 with the development of a process to produce biodiesel from used frying and deep-frying oil. Petrotec's first industrial biodiesel production plant went turn-key in 2000. Petrotec's proprietary technology is capable of transforming virgin vegetable oils such as rapeseed, soybean or palm oil as well as hard-to-process oils and fats such as used cooking oils, animal fats and oils or fish oil in a single fully continuous process into biodiesel and, thus, is truly a multi-feedstock technology. The annual capacity of the plant in Borken (Westphalia), Germany, is 85,000 t biodiesel. In the first half of 2008 a second production has commenced operations in the deep-sea port of Emden with an annual capacity of 100,000 t. Unlike many of its competitors, Petrotec in its ongoing operations has for years now primarily produced biodiesel from used cooking oils in a fully continuous process. Treated used cooking oils as feedstock for biodiesel production is up to 50 percent cheaper to procure than the rapeseed oil predominantly used by Petrotec's rivals in Europe. This enhances Petrotec's cost-competitiveness over other manufacturers of biodiesel, as 70-90 percent of biodiesel production costs relate to raw materials.
