Mission NewEnergy Limited MNEL +1.50% (asx:MBT), a global provider of environmentally sustainable biofuels, has announced the in-house development of an improved palm oil supply chain process called "Mission g-Palm" that maximizes green house gas savings when producing g-Palm Biodiesel. Mission has petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval to sell the enhanced g-Palm oil based biodiesel into the USA. Whilst the EPA continues to study and consider generic palm oil for approval, Mission has proceeded with this petition since the "Mission g-Palm" process yields better GHG emissions results.

The use of Mission's g-Palm biodiesel has already been welcomed in major European markets after demonstrating to regulatory authorities that it meets EU sustainability requirements.

Mission g-Palm Oil Biodiesel reduces green house gas throughout the entire supply chain including production, milling and refining processes.

In addition to improving existing biofuels feedstocks, Mission is developing Jatropha, an in-edible biofuel feedstock, being cultivated by Mission's contract farmers on arid, marginal lands in India.
