POET now making corn oil
 

POET Biorefining is seeing corn oil production at 25 of its facilities, including Leipsic, with its new patent-pending technology.

The addition means that POET's total capacity is 250,000 tonnes a year, enough feedstock to produce 68 million gallons of biodiesel annually, the company said.

POET has been selling its corn oil into biodiesel and feed markets since January 2011, when POET Biorefining, headquartered in South Dakota, US, first began to produce it on a commercial scale.

Strong demand for the product prompted upgrades at the majority of the plants in the POET network.
