There are still some loose ends to tie up with the EPA but the company is confident it will soon become a "one-stop shop" for companies to dispose of their used transformer oil.
Hydrodec also believes that it will get its "feedstock" (the dirty oil it re-refines) at low, or possibly negative, cost in the US as firms are desperate to get rid of the substance. In other words, Hydrodec may get paid for the feedstock it needs.
In Japan, the firm is experiencing delays in getting permits to build a new plant. As a result, operations are not expected to start until the beginning of 2013.
Despite the news from Japan, Hydrodec has had an excellent morning on the markets, rising 11% by 9.24am. Over the last 12 months the stock is up 46%.
