KAIT - Jonesboro, AR: Biodiesel Making Its Way to Southeast Missouri
KAIT - Jonesboro, AR: Biodiesel Making Its Way to Southeast Missouri: "DEXTER, MO -- Much like prices at the pump soy bean oil costs are on the rise. And with soybean oil being the most used biodiesel fuel stock... bio fuel producers are looking for alternatives.
A brand new biodiesel plant in Dexter, Missouri plans to use a fairly common bi-product to supplement their production. At Global Fuels 11C, they are ahead of the curve when it comes to alternative fuels.
'We can make biodiesel with soy bean oil or poultry grease or a combination,' said plant manager Tim Hutchcraft. Hutchcraft and his crew produced their first batch of biodiesel on Monday... the first of what they hope will be many more. 'As soon as we generate enough fuel we'll start selling it,' said Hutchcraft.
The new $5 million dollar plant located outside of Dexter is one of the first in a growing number of refineries looking to help the country decrease its demand for foreign oil.
'It's clean, renewable, it's completive, I think there's a spot in the industry for biodiesel,' commented Hutchcraft."
