History of Pacific Biofuel

Ray Newkirk discovered the benefits of biodiesel in 1999 and began using the fuel in his diesel cars and trucks. Amazed by the results, he quickly worked to educate and facilitate the use of biodiesel, and other alternative fuels on the Central Coast of California. He was encouraged by the new amendments and bills tightening vehicle emission standards and quickly worked to expand the scope of his grassroots operation.

In 2002, he met Brent Laucher, investor and biodiesel advocate, and they incorporated the business in 2003. Pacific Biofuel, Inc. specializes in the sale of ASTM-certified biodiesel B100, biodiesel blends and organic diesel fuel additives.

Our biodiesel clients include commercial fleets, maritime, agriculture, generators, and additional diesel-powered industries. As the driving force behind Santa Cruz County’s transition to biodiesel, Pacific Biofuel, Inc. continues to build upon our effective sales force, growing client base, and alternative fuel expertise.
