East Kansas Agri-Energy, LLC (EKAE) held a ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony in November 2014 for its renewable diesel project. EKAE currently produces ethanol, distillers grains and corn oil at the facility. The plant will command a 200′ x 70′ footprint on the EKAE site. The renewable diesel project is scheduled for completion before the end of 2015. Renewable diesel will be made from the corn distillers oil (CDO) already produced at the EKAE ethanol plant along with other feedstocks purchased on the market. The renewable diesel process we are using is feedstock flexible, which will allow EKAE to take advantage of commodity markets to improve margins. The addition of renewable diesel production expands the product portfolio for the EKAE plant and will add value to the products we already make. Markets for renewable diesel are the same as petroleum derived diesel fuel including motor fuels (automobiles, trucks and rail), heavy duty equipment in agriculture and construction, and aviation fuel. About 60 percent of the U.S. biodiesel and renewable diesel supply was imported in 2013. EKAE intends to meet some of that demand by producing a domestic renewable diesel.Renewable diesel production will leverage the strengths, technology and relationships that have made EKAE successful. This project will help us grow our business sustainably and further mitigate risk by giving us greater flexibility in the renewable fuels marketplace. Renewable diesel qualifi es under both the “biomass-based diesel” category and the “other advanced biofuels” category in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The fuel dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum. Additionally, renewable diesel has a very low carbon intensity score under the low carbon fuels standard established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which provides West Coast market opportunities for EKAE. Unlike biodiesel, renewable diesel can be further refined into higher-value fuels, such as marine distillate and renewable jet fuel that meet all critical ASTM specifications and reduce emissions. Renewable diesel also has far superior cold flow properties and a lower cloud point than traditional biodiesel.
