In Nebraska, local press reports that Flint Hills Resources has decided to permanently mothball the biodiesel plant in Beatrice because the prices for soybeans available to other biodiesel producers are so low that the facility that uses corn oil and waste grease will never be able to compete under any circumstances. The facility had a sad start in 2008 that wasn’t finished until Flint Hills took it over in a joint venture with Benefuel in 2016.
