5th Biodiesel Plant To Open in Mississippi
In my resident state of Mississippi, the fifth and largest biodiesel plant is set to open soon. At full capacity the Scott Petroleum Biodiesel Plant will produce 20 million gallons of B100 a year, making it the largest in the Magnolia state.
This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.
With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon for local Mississippi farmers, who will see an increase in the price paid to them for soybeans.
Biodiesel is cleaner fuel and made from renewable resources, not to mention a local domestic product, which means less reliance on foreign oil.
The new biodiesel will be available to both commercial and public users, here is a list of the diesel service stations from Scott Petroleum.
