What’s all this hype around renewable diesel?  To help us dig into this topic, Matt Makinson comes back to join hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Matt is the Vice President of Supply and Marketing for CountryMark, and he’s got a lot to share regarding what’s happened in the two years since he joined us last!

You’ll hear about the latest CountryMark news and their renewable diesel co-processing project which involves expanding the capacity in the refinery and adding the capability to process soybean oil.  In addition to sustainability, you’ll learn about the other benefits of renewable diesel, what goes into creating the product, and how it’s different from biodiesel.  In addition to learning about how this project will help increase the overall output, you’ll learn how this project will help hedge against RFS compliance costs if RIN prices go up.  If you’re wondering what the Renewable Identification Number system is all about and how it impacts growers in the first place, you’ll learn about that and more!
