New biodiesel plant opens in Adrian, Michigan

Posted by admin Published in Biodiesel, Ethanol

Michigan is looking to get into the biofuels game as much as they can. Considering that Detroit is the birthplace and domestic of the motor industry in America, it seems proper that they should ride the biofuel wave as increasingly and increasingly cars come out of the Big Three that can use either E85 or biodiesel in their tanks. We previously told you about an ethanol plant that was to be one of the largest in the country, and now Detroit News let’s us in on the announcement of a new biodiesel plant in Adrian Michigan, shut to Detroit. NextDiesel is opening the plant, which will use animal fats and soybean oil to invent the biofuel. The diversity of the source product is designed to construct it easier for

the plant to weather price fluctuations in the marketplace. Employing about 25 workers, the plant will double the current amount of biodiesel made in Michigan. The same exposition mentions that Xenerga Inc. is set to open a plant in Michigan as well, using recycled oils like restaurant grease, which seems to prepare sense. Using a waste product as a source sounds like an ideal way to recycle an unwanted by-product of our unhealthy diets.
