Ike Yancy | CEO and Managing Member
The project inception began with Ike Yancy, a Georgia resident with several years management in the refinery, energy, and plastics industry. Ike's growing interest in the waste to energy sector, coupled with his experience and unabated fascination with the energy industry, made him keenly aware of the need to switch from fossil fuels to resources that are less damaging to the environment, while also generating industry and jobs in his native Southern States, where oil refining is deeply ingrained in the culture.
Ike and a small, trusted team have reviewed many Asian, North American, and European technologies together with their associated business processes over the last 4-5 years. The technologies reviewed vary in engineering, performance, and corporate governance, and it was not until one of these stood out clearly from the rest that the project was born.
The technology was chosen not only for its measurable performance and high standards, but also for the diversity in being able to process different types of waste streams to produce options of any type of oil, refined or crude, gas and electricity.
The project has been initially planned around the use of chipped timber processed through a single stage low temperature conversion to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

STEWART ANDREWS | Design Consultant and Shareholder
Apprenticed for five years as an engineer at British Aerospace, Stewart then set up his own design consultancy, which quickly expanded to provide design specialists for local engineering companies.
With a high demand for architectural design Stewart adapted his skills to designing homes and commercial buildings, while continuing to work on engineering designs.
Co-designing a yacht with the world famous naval architect Alan Pape, Stewart took a brief sabbatical to cross the Atlantic with his family and end up living in the British Virgin Islands in 1987, with a double trans-Atlantic yacht crossing in 1990/91.
Again forming his own consultancy, Stewart worked on the design and project management of several large construction projects, and with the devastation of BVI, Balsum Ghut Prison by flash floods, Stewart was called in to trouble-shoot this project. Designing a flood defense system, he oversaw this work together with restoration and completion of the buildings to deliver the completed project on time and within budget.
On the back of this success the BVI Government awarded Stewart with the senior project management position for overseeing the design and construction of a multi-purpose theater and library. Fitted with variable acoustics and low noise air conditioning the completed 413 seat state-of-the-art theatre caters for lectures, theater, stage and film projection.
Relocating within the Caribbean, Stewart than set up and ran the Caribbean's largest portal for real estate, with over US$2 Billion of listed properties in 28 countries and has recently designed the site layout and written the technical details for the Real Fuel business plan.
