LAS VEGAS, NV–(Jan 30, 2014) – Methes Energies International Ltd. (NASDAQ: MEIL), a renewable energy company that offers an array of products and services to biodiesel fuel producers, is pleased to announce that Methes Energies Canada Inc. has joined, as a Founding Member, the Ontario Biodiesel Association (OBA) which promotes the production and use of biodiesel in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

OBA members have invested over $80 million in plant and equipment to produce biodiesel in the province. Beside environmental benefits, the biodiesel industry provides a direct and indirect positive economic impact on the province and its agricultural sector. In May 2013, the Honorable Charles Sousa, Ontario Minister of Finance, announced and committed through the government’s budget, a consultation process to develop a Biodiesel policy in Ontario. That process began in July 2013 and the creation of the Ontario Biodiesel Association demonstrates the industry’s commitment to the collective interests and concerns of the industry.

Paul Grenier, Executive Director for the Ontario Biodiesel Association said, “OBA’s strength is the unity of biodiesel producers, supporting Provincial policy development, to improve Ontario’s air quality by promoting increased use of Biodiesel. The OBA is working with the Ontario government, feedstock suppliers and other key stakeholders to the industry to reach this goal.”

Methes President Nicholas Ng said, “We are proud to be a founding member of the OBA and look forward to work together with other producers in the province. The timing of a mandate in Ontario could not be better and we are hoping for an early implementation as early as April 2014. Other provinces in Canada have strong mandates already in place including production incentives for biodiesel producers. Ontario is moving in the right direction and we are excited to be part of the process in helping the government drafting policies that will have a positive impact for all stakeholders.”
