“We’re committed to sustainable business practices and the biodiesel plant represents this commitment well,” said Rod Brenneman, president of High Plains Bioenergy and Seaboard Farms. “High Plains Bioenergy demonstrates environmental sustainability by producing clean-burning, alternative energy; economic sustainability because it adds value to our integrated food system by using pork as the feedstock; and community sustainability by creating new business opportunities for Guymon and the state of Oklahoma.”
Wanzek Construction Inc. built the facility, which uses Desmet Ballestra technology to produce fuel meeting the ASTM D6751 specification for high-quality biodiesel. The plant will employ 30 people when it reaches full production and operate 24 hours a day.
