Project Description:
This nearly $21.5 million project will build a biodiesel production plant with an annual output of 20 million gallons of biodiesel. Agri-Source is an existing EPA registered biodiesel producer in Dade City, Florida. The business has improved the process (B100) by reducing production time by 30%, resulting in a 15% energy savings. The increased production will help meet the growing demand for biodiesel fuel by government vehicle fleets. Agri-Source also intends to construct the only operating National Biodiesel Board certified laboratory in Florida and a glycerin refinery which will transform waste by product into a useful commodity. The production process reduces all regulated emissions by 90% compared to petroleum diesel, including carbon monoxide.
