East Kansas Agri-Energy to integrate biodiesel production from corn oil

In Kansas, East Kansas Agri-Energy LLC has announced its intent to integrate renewable diesel production at its ethanol plant in Garnett, Kansas. Renewable diesel will be made from the corn distillers oil (CDO) already produced at the plant along with other feedstocks purchased on the market.

Construction on the new facility will begin soon and will be complete in about 12 to 14 months.  The plant will be able to produce 3 million gallons of hydrocarbon fuel per year, with the ability to double that capacity in the future.
