Ardent Energy Group (AEG) Inc, a full service biodiesel company focused on the cultivation and refining of high quality biodiesel from non-edible biological feedstock, today announced an agreement with Yetebaberut Beherawi Petroleum (YBP) of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the distribution of biodiesel in Ethiopia.

Sacramento, Calif. (PRWEB) July 17, 2009 — Ardent Energy Group (AEG) Inc, a full service biodiesel company focused on the cultivation and refining of high quality biodiesel from non-edible biological feedstock, today announced an agreement with Yetebaberut Beherawi Petroleum (YBP) of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the distribution of biodiesel in Ethiopia.

“The source of our fuel is grown in Ethiopia and our agreement with YBP gives us the opportunity help the country become self-sufficient for its fuel needs,” said Y. Daniel Gezahegne, founder and CEO of Ardent Energy Group. “The growth of the fuel stock, the refining and the distribution will all be centered in Ethiopia creating a local source of cleaner burning fuel.”

YBP is owned and operated by Ethiopians with a goal of opening 50 fuel stations across the country to distribute biodiesel and other fuels.

AEG chose jatropha as the first source of oil due to the resiliency of the plant, its ability to grow in marginal soil conditions and the extremely high-yield of oil to hectare as compared to other crops such as soybean. The ability of jatropha to thrive in harsh climates is also favorable, as the plant will not be competing with land that could otherwise be used for food production.

Ardent Energy Group is committed to creating sustainable, safe, reliable fuel from non-feedstock sources. More information is available at htt://www.ardentenergygroup.com.
