GreenHunter Commences Production at Texas Biodiesel Refinery

GreenHunter Energy has commenced production at what is being claimed to be the US’s single largest biodiesel refinery near Houston, Texas. The facility is expected to produce 105 million gallons of white-water B100 biodiesel per year.

The converted waste-oil refinery on the Houston ship channel gives GreenHunter’s renewable fuels campus direct deepwater access and the ability to transport products via barge, rail and truck.

Generators at the site are expected to provide enough electricity for GreenHunter to sell unneeded power back to the grid. GreenHunter’s campus also includes basic terminal operations and 700,000 barrels of storage capacity for feedstock management.

The company produces biodiesel from multiple feedstocks, including non-edible sources such as tallow and jatropha.
