ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI, U.S. — High Plains Bioenergy (HPB), a subsidiary of Seaboard Foods, which is a division of Seaboard Corp., on Sept. 15 said it plans to increase its production of biodiesel. The announcement follows the company’s recent acquisition of the former Blue Sun Biodiesel plant in St. Joseph, Missouri, U.S.

The plant, which will operate as HPB – St. Joe Biodiesel, will use regionally sourced feedstocks, and will focus on lower cloud point specifications, HPB said. Once it reaches full capacity, the plant will have the capability to produce 28 million gallons of biodiesel a year.

“The growth of the biodiesel industry over the past decade has been tremendous,” said Gene Binder, director of sales and business development at HPB. “With the addition of HPB Biodiesel – St. Joe, we are expanding our geographical footprint and adding value to customers by offering an integrated approach to our sales and marketing paradigm.”
