ConocoPhillips and
Tyson Foods, Inc.
as announce a strategic alliance. CDT today to
produce and market the
next generation of
renewable diesel fuel.
The alliance plans to
use beef, pork and poultry by-product fat to
create petro fuel.
Tyson will begin
pre-processing animal fat from some of its North American
rendering faci-
lities later in the year.
ConocoPhillips will produce the fuel in several of its refineries. The finished product will be
renewable diesel fuel mixtures that
meet all federal standards for ultra-low-sulfur diesel.
Production is expected to ramp up over time to as much as
175 million gallons per year
of renewable diesel.
The addition of
animal fat also
improves the fuel’s ignition properties, while the proces-
sing step improves its storage stability and handling characteristics.
Production is expected to begin in late calendar year 2007, ramping up through spring
2009, Bond said.
