Sioux City announces more business development

July 18, 2008 By admin

South Sioux City leaders are making another announcement of a new business, the fourth in about a week. Natural Innovative Renewable Energy  today announced the anticipated development and construction of a 60-million gallon biodiesel facility in the Roth Industrial Park in South Sioux City.

NIRE has plans to team up with Beef Products Inc. to construct a facility that will have the ability to utilize multiple feedstocks and produce about 60-million gallons of biodiesel and 55-million pounds of glycerin. Beef Products Incorporated is expected to be one of the sources of feedstock for the facility.

B-P-I is the world’s leading producer of lean beef processed from fresh beef trimmings. As a component of that processing, B-P-I produces a large amount of beef tallow, which may become one of the feedstock sources for the new biodiesel facility.

NIRE expects to bring 36 new jobs to South Sioux City and says it plans to spend tens of millions of dollars to build the facility, purchase equipment and procure working inventories. The company originally planned to build the plant near Akron, Iowa.
