Fuelling up for a great 2012

SA Biofuels Chief Executive Morgan Hunter has started off the year on a high commencing work on the company’s first order to manufacture a biodiesel unit.

The unit will be used to test different algae oils determining their quality and viability to be converted into biodiesel.

Morgan took part as one of eleven of SA’s up and coming companies and start-ups completing Round 2 of the Innovate SA Investment Attraction Course in 2011.

The specialised and intensive Innovate SA Investment Attraction Course is run over a four month period and is designed to provide business owners and CEOs with training in business development and investor readiness.

“The Investment Attraction Course helped prepare us for dealings with potential investors and clients. We’d definitely recommend the program to other SA companies,” Morgan explains.

Morgan and his business partner Paul Fields have developed a revolutionary device which promises to slash the price of diesel fuel.

“We started it as a hobby to produce cheap fuels for ourselves, but it has grown to the stage where it can hopefully become a viable business,” he said.

Morgan and Paul are running a consulting and engineering business and building a factory at Tailem Bend to produce their innovative unit.
