Odessa Public Development Authority opens RFP to sell biodiesel plant again

In Oregon, the Odessa Public Development Authority is yet again looking to sell or lease its 8 million gallon per year biodiesel plant after a previous deal fell through. The agency has opened an RFP that closes August 15. The biodiesel market in the state does not appear to be one that can support two biodiesel plants, however, nor is there enough canola grown to supply both of them, leaving the plant and any future owner/operator in a quandary.
