TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2011 /CNW/ - BIOX Corporation (BIOX) (TSX: BX), a renewable energy company that designs, builds, owns and operates biodiesel production facilities, today announced that it has been named one of the Technology Green 15™ companies by Deloitte. The award showcases 15 Canadian companies that are leading the way to create major breakthroughs in the field of green technology. BIOX won for its proprietary biodiesel production technology that forms the backbone of its 67 million litre nameplate facility in Hamilton, Ontario which has been operating at full production capacity since 2008.

"This award recognizes the impact of not only our proprietary biodiesel production technology but also the role renewable biodiesel can play in fueling economic growth in Canada," said Kevin Norton, Chief Executive Officer of BIOX Corporation. "Our technology is ideally suited to contribute meaningful biodiesel supply to help fulfill the mandated minimum blending requirements that are now law in Canada and the U.S. The successful track record of production from our Hamilton facility that won us this award supports our planned expansion including a second proposed manufacturing plant in the U.S."

"The Deloitte Technology Green 15 Award recognizes those Canadian companies that offer solutions to global environmental challenges by creating intellectual property and technology that reduce society's environmental impact," said Richard Lee, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte. "Companies such as BIOX are creating technology solutions that have a significant environmental impact and demonstrate a compelling return on investment, despite facing tough economic times. In doing so, they are helping position Canada as a global leader in the development of commercially viable green technology."

About the Deloitte Technology Green 15™

The Technology Green 15™ recognizes Canada's leading GreenTech companies. GreenTech, the industry term for "green technologies", is taking on greater importance in the world in general, and the world of business in particular. It includes any technology that promotes a more efficient use and re-use of the earth's resources in industrial production and consumption. GreenTech products and services are designed to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts and improve operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution. Although many companies within GreenTech industry sectors are very different, they share a common trait: all use new, innovative technology to create products and services that compete with existing products and services on price and performance while reducing impact on the environment.
