Gainesville, GA (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

Dynamic Fuels, LLC, operator of the first commercial advanced biofuels plant in the United States, has entered into strategic marketing alliance, commercial off-take and supply chain management agreements with Mansfield Oil Company ("Mansfield") to efficiently distribute synthetic renewable diesel to the commercial fleet vehicle market.

Dynamic Fuels is a 50/50 venture of Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE / TSN) and Syntroleum Corporation (NASDAQ / SYNM) that produces next-generation renewable and synthetic fuels from animal fats and greases. The company’s Geismar, Louisiana plant has the design capacity to produce 75 million gallons of renewable diesel, naphtha and LPG per year, of which the primary product is ASTM D975 renewable diesel. Because of its molecular properties (it’s a pure hydrocarbon), renewable diesel is a “drop in” fuel that can replace 100% of petroleum diesel in a diesel engine without engine modification.

“Renewable diesel is a sustainable, ultra clean burning, high cetane fuel that reduces carbon emissions up to 70% and significantly reduces particulates and NOx when combusted in existing diesel engines,” stated Ron Stinebaugh, senior vice president of Syntroleum Corporation. "We believe our relationship with Mansfield will allow Dynamic Fuels to provide a seamless supply of renewable diesel to fleet customers at prices comparable to ultra-low sulphur diesel, as well as a petroleum diesel backstop if necessary, to ensure reliable supply. Mansfield is the biggest fuel supply chain company in the industry, which gives Dynamic Fuels access to the largest, most recognizable fleet operators in the United States.”

Under the strategic marketing alliance, Dynamic Fuels and Mansfield will jointly market renewable diesel. This is expected to provide Dynamic Fuels access to Mansfield’s existing commercial accounts while expanding Mansfield’s large portfolio of renewable fuel products for its customers. In addition, company officials believe the commercial off-take agreement will also help ensure Dynamic Fuels has immediate access to fleet markets for its renewable diesel. The supply chain management agreement allows Dynamic Fuels to outsource supply chain services to Mansfield, including logistics management, customer service support, invoicing and billing services.

Mansfield markets and distributes over 2.5 billion gallons of fueling products per year to thousands of commercial customers across all 50 states and Canada.

"We’re impressed by Dynamic Fuels’ position as one of the leading renewable diesel producers in the United States and are confident they will remain the industry leader and a key partner for us," said Doug Haugh, president of Mansfield Oil Company. "Through this partnership, we’re working to distribute renewable diesel directly to our fleet customers who are interested in increasing the renewable content of the fuels they consume."

ezShade at the Beach

San Marino, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Solar Eclipz, a Los Angeles, CA – based woman-owned start up announced today that it has entered Walmart’s Get On The Shelf contest in hopes of getting the patented ezShade on the shelves of Walmart.

Solar Eclipz manufactures the ezShade which is the only portable sun shield that blocks over 99% of cancer causing UVA and UVB rays and instantly attaches to any portable umbrella or canopy. Linda Varga has come up with a clever portable sun shield that helps to block reflected UV rays and instantly attaches to any portable umbrella or canopy. “By adding a vertical panel to your umbrella, you are able to block the reflected UV rays that your umbrella or canopy alone cannot,” explains Linda Varga. The ezShade attaches in seconds with the included peel and stick strips and provides critical protection for a product weighing less than 9 ounces. “I designed the bottom pocket with hook and loop fasteners so that the ezShade could be easily adjusted to the height of your umbrella or canopy. Once you adjust the pocket, you fill the pocket with sand, water bottles or towels to keep your ezShade from blowing in the wind and to stabilize your umbrella or canopy,” said Linda. The ezShade can be used anywhere sun protection is needed, such as the beach, park, sporting events, school, swap meets, open-air markets, etc. The ezShade is endorsed by the Melanoma International Foundation.

When asked what entering Walmart’s contest means to her, Linda enthusiastically replied, “This is an opportunity we could have only dreamed of. We are a start up company with very limited resources. While the ezShade is a great product and a great fit with Walmart’s customers, as a start up company we would never have gotten even a glance in our direction from the Walmart buyers. This contest changes everything.” Walmart’s Get On The Shelf contest will not only give small businesses, such as Solar Eclipz, the opportunity to sell their products at Walmart, but Walmart will help the winners meet the production demands of selling in Walmart. “In the past Solar Eclipz’s production limitations would have prevented us from selling the ezShade in Walmart. With Walmart’s assistance, limited production capabilities would no longer be an obstacle for Solar Eclipz,” said Linda Varga.

Like most small businesses, Linda and her husband Alex juggle family and full time jobs in addition to their start up, Solar Eclipz. “Solar Eclipz is your old fashioned mom and pop start up. My husband and I work our day jobs and fit in Solar Eclipz business during evenings and on weekends,” says Linda. But for a small grant from Kimberly Clark’s Huggies’ Mominspired Grant Program, Solar Eclipz is self-funded. “Selling to Walmart would mean we could invest our time in one job, Solar Eclipz, instead of having to split our man and brain-power between two full time jobs. ”

Want to help the ezShade make it to the shelves of Walmart? Check out their link http://www.getontheshelf.com/product/768/ezShade. Voting officially starts March 7, 2012, but before then you can show your support for the ezShade by forwarding the link and asking others to vote.

The ezShade is currently being sold at Toys R Us, Camping World and BuyBuyBaby.

Question by J P: Quickest (and least expensive)way to heat an above ground pool on a cool day? Solar Fish, Black Solar Heating?
Above Ground Pool. I am having a get together this weekend. The temp is going to drop into the mid 60's. I hate to deal with the plastic solar covers (and I don't think they work all that well). I would consider a black tube solar heating system but don't know how effective they are. Are there any chemicals that will do it? What about the solar fish that leaks os Isopropyl Alcohol? I don't want to spend a ton...as I hope to get a heater next season

Answer by michael_54550
well, actually the best is to put the solar cover on and try to retain some of the heat in the pool...even if cloudy the rays of the sun still come thru and will generate some heat. But other choices are yours but they aren't going to help much, not like the cover will..

It's the same as if the solar panel wasn't there. The energy turns into heat and light and is absorbed by the earth, oceans, and atmosphere.
