Washington state 8 Mgy biodiesel plant moves closer to completion

The Odessa (Wash,) Public Development Authority (OPDA)’s biodiesel plant moved a step closer to completion with the delivery of the biodiesel reactor from Green Star Products. Initial capacity of the plant will be 8 Mgy of biodiesel with a potential to double capacity to 16 Mgy. Output of the plant will be biodiesel, glycerine and canola meal, which has a 34-38% protein content and is suitable as livestock feed at $190 per ton.

Washington state has been home to substantial biofuel expansion in the past 18 months, primarily due to the formation of Imperium Renewables. Odessa, in Lincoln county, is one of the few biofuels projects in development on the eastern side of the Cascades.
