Ground was broken Monday morning on Wisconsin’s first biodiesel plant, a new facility that could dramatically boost demand for state soybeans.
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that can be made from vegetable oils or recycled cooking oil.
Green Bay-based Anamax Corp. is starting construction on the $15-million plant next to its existing restaurant-grease recovery plant in DeForest on Monday. The plant will be the largest of its kind in the country, WISC-TV reported.
The 15,000-square-foot plant could be a boon for the state’s soybean farmers as more than 85 percent of biodiesel comes from soybeans.
