New Biodiesel plant in Western MA

[Harley]

a commercial biodiesel plant approved Greenfield, MA, possibly breaking ground in May.

I'm actually very surprised they were able to obtain approval. It will be interesting to see if a large-scale operation would be financially feasible.

What the heck is a rendering plant . . I'm already dreading the answer . . a scene from the Fight Club is coming to mind . .

"The plant will take train carloads of yellow grease, a product from rendering plants, and previously used oils, and turn it into 5 million gallons of fuel each year that can be used to run vehicles and be added to heating oil, Union said"

Not quite Fight Club, but close.

A rendering plant is where old livestock passes through on its way to a Better Place.

Now next time your girlfriend/wife is putting on some face cream you can tell her where all that bloated road kill goes when they get picked up. Recycling at its best.
