CountryMark expands renewable diesel production in Indiana

In Indiana, CountryMark, a farmer-owned cooperative that operates in oil production, refining and marketing, marked a major milestone with the completion of more than $100M in refinery upgrades that will improve its diesel fuel quality and increase its diesel fuel production capabilities. CountryMark’s refinery investments utilize ISO dewaxing and co-processing technology.

Co-processed renewable diesel is fuel produced by combining renewable feedstocks, like soybean oil, with conventional diesel. CountryMark’s diesel expansion project included a new reactor, catalysts, and soybean oil offloading rack and storage. As a result of these investments, CountryMark will have the potential to use up to 20 million gallons of refined, bleached and deodorized soybean oil per year.
