7/12/2006 -- MEMPHIS -- Memphis Biofuels LLC has closed its funding and is starting construction on its 36-million-gallon-per-year biodiesel production facility.
Located in Memphis, the facility is designed to be expanded to 100 million gallons per year in the future. The company plans to be in production this fall.
The company will use state of the art technology and regionally available, high-quality vegetable and animal feed stocks to produce biodiesel for the mid-south and national markets. With the strong agricultural base in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, in addition to being located near the Mississippi River and in one of the nation's largest trucking and railroad hubs, the Memphis facility is ideally situated to serve regional, national and international markets.
Memphis Biofuels will create approximately 50 manufacturing jobs at its Memphis facility.
