Incobrasa’s Illinois expansion to become key soybean biodiesel feedstock processor
The completed project includes a 170,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility to meet the growing demand for its soybean crushing services, creating 40 new full-time jobs for the region while retaining 200 positions. Located adjacent to Incobrasa’s existing facility, the new processing plant doubles the company’s production capacity and can process nearly 100 million bushels of soybeans annually. The facility converts soybeans into soybean meal used for animal feed and soybean oil that can be refined into biodiesel and other renewable fuel products. in addition to the soybean crushing plant, the company constructed a 50-acre solar array, which has the capacity to generate five megawatts of energy, which can be used to provide power directly to the plant or to feed the grid.
