East Kansas Agri-Energy LLC announced its plans to integrate renewable diesel production in their ethanol plant in Garnett, Kansas.
Diesel production will use oil from the ethanol production plant as well as other feedstocks. WB Services will provide the renewable diesel technology for the project. The 3 million gallon renewable diesel plant is expected to be completed in a little over a year.
"This is about maximizing revenue, leveraging activities that we already do every day, and enhancing the value of products we already produce now," said EKAE President and CEO Jeff Oestmann.Ron Beemiller, president and CEO of WB Services said that "The process creates renewable diesel along with valuable coproducts including steam, fuel gas and denaturant that are integrated into the ethanol plant. It is an elegant solution that adds value while reducing the carbon intensity."
