SG Preston, one of the leading bioenergy companies, plans to build a 120 million gallon renewable diesel facility in Ohio.
The SGP facility, to be completed in 2017, will cost $400 million and will create 100 permanent jobs. The technology to be used for the plant will be from Honeywell UOP. Other partners in the project include the Lawrence County Economic Development Council, the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth and Jobs-Ohio.
"For SG Preston, this is an important milestone and part of a larger vision of partnering with leading, global refining technology partners and local communities to develop a portfolio of renewable diesel and renewable jet fuel refineries targeting 1.2 billion gallons per year, or 20 percent of the federal RFS2 biomass-based mandate for biofuels," said the CEO of SG Preston, R. Delbert LeTang.
Bill Dingus, executive director of Lawrence County Economic Development Council, also said that this project will have significant economic importance to southern Ohio by bringing long-term employment and income to the region.
