Key points

• Incobrasa Industries has completed a major expansion of its biodiesel plant in Gilman, Illinois, raising annual capacity from 75 million gallons to 170 million gallons, with the expanded capacity coming online in early October.
• The expansion follows the company's expansion of soybean processing capacity in Gilman, aimed at processing US-grown soybeans domestically into food, feed and fuel products.
• The article links the investment to domestic demand under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and cites representatives of NOPA, Incobrasa and the Illinois Soybean Association, who say the move benefits farmer markets, rural jobs and US energy security.
