Methes (MEIL) Begins Certification Process for b2 biOil Marine Lubricants
Methes Energies (MEIL) has initiated the certification process for its b2 biOil marine lubricants through the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
These certifications include TC-W3® for 2-stroke marine engines and FC-W® and FC-W Catalyst Compatible® for 4-stroke water-cooled gasoline engines. NMMA certification is important for improving the quality of marine products globally.
Methes' bio-lubricants meet stringent environmental standards set by the US EPA, including biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, and bioaccumulation. The company's lubricants are designed to biodegrade rapidly and completely in aquatic environments.
This initiative aligns with regulations from the Vessel General Permit, which mandates the use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) to minimize oil pollution in waterways.
CEO Carol Loch emphasized the importance of offering eco-friendly lubricants to protect water quality.
- Methes' pursuit of NMMA certification could boost product credibility and market acceptance.
- Compliance with US EPA standards and Vessel General Permit requirements can enhance Methes' reputation for environmental responsibility.
- Certification processes can be lengthy and costly, potentially affecting short-term financials.

"Just one gallon of spilled or improperly disposed of used oil can contaminate over a million gallons of drinking water," said Carol Loch, CEO and Chairman of Methes. "Offering NMMA certified bio-lubricants that ‘readily biodegrades' to the marine industry just makes logical sense."
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has outlined the properties of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) targeting three primary environmental traits; biodegradability, aquatic toxicity and bioaccumulation…all b2 biOils meet these standards, including "readily biodegradable," an arbitrary classification of chemicals which have passed certain specified screening tests for ultimate biodegradability. These tests are so stringent that it is assured that such components will rapidly and completely biodegrade in aquatic environments under aerobic conditions (equal or greater than
Spilled or the improper disposal of engine oil lubricants represents the single largest source of oil pollution in our nation's waterways (please visit company's website for further details)
