New biodiesel facility opens in Texas

GreenHunter Energy, Inc. announced the grand opening of its state-of-the-art Renewable Fuels Campus as well as the commencement of commercial operations of the company’s new biodiesel refinery located in Houston, Texas.

GreenHunter Energy’s Renewable Fuels Campus is a zero emissions facility composed of four predominate assets: a 105 million gallon per year biodiesel refinery, a 700,000 barrel bulk liquid terminal operation, a 200 million pound per year glycerin distillation system, and a 45,000 barrel-per-month methanol distillation tower. The biodiesel refinery is the largest in the United States and is “feedstock agnostic”, meaning that it can use 100% animal fats, 100% vegetable oils, or any blend of the two interchangeably. The finished product is one of the higher quality biodiesels, sometimes called “water-white” biodiesel.
