In Minnesota, a local entrepreneur is fundraising to secure $10 million in order to take the first steps in developing a biodiesel production facility in Crookston that would absorb some of the area’s soybean surplus that once went to China or is processed far away. The proposed $150 million project in the northwest part of the state would crush beans from an 11-county radius, including organic and non-GMO soybeans that would be crushed as part of an smaller, specialty facility.
