Transforming Animal Fat into Fuel Smithfield Farms, Claiborne, Texas Smithfield Farms worked with PPE to design a solution for the scrap animal fats produced through its operations. The result was a biodiesel plant that transforms the fats and other organic matter into biodiesel. Biodiesels are renewable fuels that are cleaner than diesel, but they can be prohibitively expensive to produce when made from expensive soybean oil. However, with the help of PPE, Smithfield Farms is able to produce this desirable fuel in a cost-effective manner. It powers its biodiesel plant on methanol produced from hog waste from its farms-and then uses scrap fats as the biodiesel's base ingredient. With the help of PPE-designed plants, Smithfield Farms efficiently disposes of its waste products, creates more environmentally safe fuels-and earns a tax credit in the process.
