Biodiesel is now to be had via truck and rail from the Renewable Energy Group’ s (REG) newly received Minnesota production facility, REG Albert Lea, LLC. The primary truckload of biodiesel was picked up August 25 for the Trail’s Travel Center truck stop in Albert Lea alongside I-35.
REG VP Gary Haer says customers find a way to select up either B99 or B100 on the 30 million gallon per yr facility. “We are offering REG-9000/1 biodiesel best for harvest tank fills and assembly demand created by Minnesota’s B5 requirement and the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2),” mentioned Haer.
REG purchased the former SoyMor Biodiesel plant in July, after the plant were idled since 2008. REG was the overall contractor and supervisor for the subtle vegetable oil feedstock biodiesel plant which firstly began production in April 2005. The primary hope to improve the power to process all kinds of lower cost natural fats and oils including used cooking oil, inedible corn oil from ethanol production, and prime free fatty acid materials.
REG is the largest biodiesel producer within the United States and the REG Albert Lea facility brings their whole owned/operated ability to more than 210 million gallons.
