Animal Fat into Diesel Fuel?

Tyson Foods enters into deals to convert animal fat into fuel

LITTLE ROCK— Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat company, announced Monday it plans to expand its foreign business. The company also said it is moving forward with a project with ConocoPhillips to convert animal fat into diesel fuel. Production is to start next month, with Tyson providing fat from an Amarillo, Texas, beef plant to a ConocoPhillips refinery in Borger, Texas.

Further, Tyson announced it would open a biofuel plant at an existing industrial site in Louisiana as part of a previously announced joint venture with Tulsa, Okla.-based Syntroleum Corp. to produce fuel from animal fat. Tyson would not say where in Louisiana the $150 million plant will be built, but said construction would start in 2008 and be completed in 2010.

The plant is to produce 75 million gallons of fuel each year, using animal fat, grease and vegetable oil, all supplied by Tyson Foods.
