Biodiesel plant planned in North Dakota

Hmmm, come to think of it, a biodiesel plant in North Dakota might actually use coal indirectly to aid the process. The Great Plains synfuel plant is located near Beulah ND, and they use lignite for gasification, then methanization, to create synthetic natural gas, which they then sell on and pipe into the open market (and are currently making money hand over fist in the process). So it is likely that some of this synthetic natural gas made from lignite would end up powering up the proposed biodiesel plant. <br /> <br />Granted, it is still cheaper and more prudent to just make synthetic diesel from lignite, but when the subsidy fairies are a callin' it is hard to resist that Siren song.
