JBS Biodiesel to invest $1.69 million to use waste animal fats for biodiesel

In Brazil, JBS Biodiesel is set to invest $1.69 million in order to facilitate the use of chicken and pork fat as feedstock for biodiesel production. JBS is one of the world’s largest meat processors and has ready access to millions of kilos of potential waste fats for feedstock. Thanks to the B10 blending mandate currently in place, the company expects to produce 500 million liters of biodiesel in 2018/19. Production in 2018 should jump 20% from the year prior to 250 million liters.
