More than $38 million in industrial revenue bonds has been approved to help fund Cargill’s new biodiesel plant in Wichita, KS, reports The Wichita Eagle.
The $87 million project includes a new 20,000-square-foot biodiesel plant and a second 20,000-square-foot building for offices, loadout and storage.
Currently, Cargill has a soybean processing plant, grain elevator and rail bulk loadout operation at the site.
The site already produces vegetable oil, but will now make the transition to biodiesel production.
