Bio Diesel in GA?

Bio Diesel is making headlines in the South in Georgia and South Carolina. In fact a North Carolina Firm is putting a Bio Diesel Bio-Refinery in Middle Georgia. NewGen Technologies is building a 60 million dollar plant in Columbus GA. The State of Georgia already has two-bio diesel plants and both are expanding capacity rapidly as we speak.

Meanwhile at Ft. Benning GA the US Military is also a buyer of Bio Diesel Fuel. In Georgia they have many things to make Bio Diesel out of such as poultry fat, soybean oil and vegetable oil. With the huge poultry farms in and around Georgia and the huge chicken processing plants it makes sense to use poultry fat to make Bio Diesel out of.

The Department of Energy Policy Act of 2005 calls for almost 4 Billion gallons of renewable fuels in 2006 and almost 8 billion gallons by 2012 and the Georgia is enjoying the industry growth and capital flowing in, as we all enjoy the benefits. As it has been said America must break their addiction to Middle Eastern Oil and this is a positive step in the right direction says the Governor of Georgia and the States Economic Development Director.

The Atlanta Business Journal Reports; “The company plans to use a variety of materials to produce biodiesel, including soybean, sunflowers, palm, rapeseed and canola.”

It looks like the South and Georgia in particularly is joining the renewable energy initiative and going to make Bio Diesel profitable and add Bio Refineries to its list of strong economic industries, which make the state so economically viable. Consider all this in 2006.

Thank you for the information Lance. Also welcome to Urbanplanet.org. I am glad to see that Georgia is serious about alternative fuel sources. Gov. Perdue did mention it several times during the election. I eagerly await the progress of these initiatives.

Groundbreaking took place a couple of weeks ago in Mitchell County for a 100-million gallon ethanol plant.  The plant will be operated by First United Ethanol LLC, a group of South Georgia farmers and businessmen.  It will cost about $170 million to build, and should open in the Summer of 2008.
