ADM to build new soy crushing facility for biofuels industry
ADM plans to build North Dakota’s first dedicated soybean crushing plant and refinery to meet fast-growing demand from industrial and biofuel customers, including producers of renewable diesel.
The $350 million (€287 million) crush and refining complex in Spiritwood will feature state-of-the-art automation technology and have the capacity to process 150,000 bushels of soybeans per day.
Strategically located in a major soybean producing area, ADM’s global logistics network will enable the facility to access both domestic and global markets for soybean oil and meal. The facility is expected to be complete prior to the 2023 harvest.
"ADM’s commitment to preserving and protecting our planet’s resources stretches from the farm gate to the food on our tables and the renewable fuel we put in our vehicles," said Greg Morris, president of ADM’s Ag services & oilseeds business. "This exciting new project allows us to partner with North Dakota farmers to further advance the role of agriculture in addressing climate change through the production of low carbon feedstocks for products such as renewable diesel."
"This soybean processing plant is a gamechanger for North Dakota farmers, adding value and expanding the market for this important crop closer to home while also supporting the production of products such as renewable green diesel right here in North Dakota," said North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. "Now, with innovative leader ADM and collaboration with local economic development and multiple state agencies, this exciting value-added project has come to fruition.”
