ADM expands biodiesel production
ADM is positioned to use the synergies between its extensive grain origination, transportation and processing capabilities to bring biodiesel to the U.S. market.
“ADM is a world leader in renewable fuels,” stated Mike Livergood, ADM Vice President-Global Oleo Chemicals. “Leveraging the success of ADM’s experience in the biodiesel market in Europe and ADM’s success in the ethanol market in the U.S., we are pleased to bring biodiesel, a cleaner burning and renewable fuel, to the U.S. market through this facility.
”As the world’s energy requirements are met increasingly through renewable fuels that use agricultural products for feedstocks, ADM is positioned to use the synergies between its extensive grain origination, transportation and processing capabilities to bring biodiesel to the U.S. market. Doing so will help extend oil reserves, create new markets for farmers and make for a better environment.
Biodiesel is a vegetable oil-based fuel made from renewable crops that burns cleaner than traditional petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel works in diesel engines, improves air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and is a growing fuel source for the world. ADM is also a partner in Mid-America Biofuels, LLC, which has recently announced plans to build a biodiesel production plant in Mexico, Missouri.
