Our business

Lipotechnica is an international, integrated energy company based in Estonia. Our aim is to be the leading operator on alternative energy in the Baltic region, and a company in an expansionary phase internationally. We are investing heavily in the development of new energy.

Lipotechnica is a leader in the rendering industry. We aim to manufacture, use and market clean burning fat. Lipotechnica is a proud producer of groundbreaking cost and enivronmental friendly Biofuel.

A permit is required from the regional Environmental Protection Agency office in order to burn fat as a fuel. Lipotechnica has obtained such permits to use fats as a fuel in a number of countries where Lipotechnica is developing related production facilities, even when replacing natural gas in non-attainment areas.

Fat is recognized as an alternative fuel by the Estonian Government. Fat is eligible for a $.50 per gallon incentive payment through the Internal Revenue Service. In addition to providing an alternative to escalating natural gas and petroleum costs, fat can help commercial customers improve their environmental stewardship practices and related community relations. 

 

National Biodiesel Board confirms

A gallon of grease will get you about a gallon of fuel, and drivers can get about the same amount of mileage from fat fuel as they do from regular diesel, according to Jenna Higgins of the National Biodiesel Board.Animal fats need to undergo an additional step to get rid of free fatty acids not present in vegetable oils, but otherwise, there's no difference, she says.
