“FCC Environmental has operated suc-
cessfully in Maryland for more than 60
years,” said Vince Glorioso, vice presi-
dent of FCC Environmental and who will
be responsible for the operating entity
running the Baltimore plant. “The loca-
tion provides a logistical advantage with
respect to delivery of the used motor oil
to the facility, as FCC Environmental al-
ready has a major presence in the area.
We collect used motor oils and provide
other similar services throughout the mid-
Atlantic region, so we already have a si-
zeable volume of feedstock.” The com-
pany anticipates breaking ground on the
facility in mid 2012, following the issuance
of State of Maryland and City of Baltimore
environmental and construction permits,
and the plant is scheduled to be operatio-
nal by mid 2013.

in the
U.S.
case oil for both automotive and truck use,
enhancing the sustainability aspect of its
existing used oil collection efforts by FCC
Environmental in the United States.
“The project aligns closely with the overall
direction that the State of Maryland and
its leaders have stated, particularly in the
areas of energy reduction, climate action
and green jobs, Cherry said. Additionally,
we believe it fts well with Governor Martin
OMalleys goal of using sustainable sources
of energy to increase Maryland’s Renewa-
ble Portfolio Standard to 20 percent by
2022”.
The recycling facility is expected to process
more than 150 million litres (approximately
40 million gallons) of used motor oil each
year and will create 30 full-time jos in tech-
nical, operations and support roles, many
of which will be “green” positions.
