ADM and Marathon Petroleum Corp. celebrate opening of renewable fuels facility

Green Bison Soy Processing will source and process local soybeans, with the resulting oil supplied exclusively to Marathon as a feedstock for renewable fuels. The facility will produce approximately 600 million lbs of refined soybean oil annually, enough feedstock for approximately 75 million gal. of renewable green diesel per year. The approximately US$350 million complex features automation technology and has the capacity to process 150 000 bushels of soybeans per day. Green Bison Soy Processing began receiving soybeans in September 2023 and is in the commissioning and startup phase of processing soybeans for meal and oil.

“Sustainability is one of the enduring trends driving changes in structural global demand, and this investment helps position ADM, as a leader in our industry, to deliver on that demand,” said Greg Morris, President of ADM’s Ag Services & Oilseeds business. “The continued growth in demand for renewable green diesel presents a transformative opportunity for the oilseed industry, for producers, and for increasing the sustainability footprint of our transportation system, and we’re proud to join with Marathon Petroleum as leaders in that transformation. We’re excited for the start of production and look forward to working together to support sustainable solutions for the food and fuel industries.”
