About Us

Energy Alternative Solutions, Inc. was founded in March 2006 with the goal of reducing environmental pollution, lessening the country’s dependence on foreign oil, and providing new crop opportunities for local farmers. Our vision is to create community-based operations in which each community utilizes its own renewable resources—such as waste vegetable oil and locally grown oilseed crops—to produce its own energy and reduce dependency on petroleum fuels.

The U.S. burns through 20 million barrels of oil every day, more than half of which is imported. The price tag for crude oil imports cost the U.S. about $250 billion every year, or $475,000 every minute. Our goal is to bring some of those dollars back home.

We opened our first plant in Gonzales, California in December 2006. We plan to open additional plants in coming year.
