Joint Venture With Loveâs Truck Stops Will Produce 80M Gallons of Renewable Biodiesel Made From 100% Waste
May 2, 2021
A giant agricultural companyâs years of work on a renewable, sustainable diesel fuel is finally coming to fruitionâand itâs made from 100% waste products.
A 50-50 joint venture between Cargill and Love’s Travel Stops, will produce and market a green fuel under the name Heartwell Renewables.
Its new production plant now under construction in Hastings, Nebraska, will have the ability to produce approximately 80 million gallons of renewable diesel fuel annuallyâwhile creating 50 new jobs there.
Cargill will provide feedstock in the form of tallow, the animal fat discarded during its beef processing, and also used cooking oil. Once the diesel is produced, the Love’s Family of Companies, which owns and operates truck stops in 41 states, will transport and market the product in the U.S.
