JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.– The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) today joined Imperium Renewables in officially opening the company’s second facility and ushering it into a growing biodiesel industry. The new Imperium plant, near Grays Harbor, Wash., has an annual capacity of 100 million gallons. That makes it the largest biodiesel plant currently operating in the nation.
“The opening of this plant is a valuable addition to America’s biodiesel industry,” said Manning Feraci, NBB vice president of federal affairs, who attended today’s grand opening. “The U.S. biodiesel industry is committed to enhancing America’s energy independence by replacing foreign oil with environmentally friendly, domestically produced renewable fuels. Imperium’s plant will further our industry’s objectives in this regard, and will add valuable refining capacity to our nation’s fuel supply.”
