Producer's Choice Soy Ene Refinery, Moberly, Missouri | Renewable Fuel Production

Producer's Choice Soy Ene is a refinery located at 607 Fowler Rd, Moberly, Missouri, United States. The facility is operational and specializes in processing soy-based feedstocks into renewable fuels, such as biodiesel or renewable diesel. As a soy refinery, it plays a role in the growing biofuel sector within the United States, particularly in the Midwest region known for its agricultural output. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable refinery MACT standards. Soy refineries in the U.S. typically range from small to medium scale, processing thousands of barrels per day. The plant's NAICS code 324110 indicates it is classified as a petroleum refinery, though its feedstock is primarily agricultural. Environmental considerations for soy refineries include emissions from processing and potential impacts on local air quality. The facility's location in rural Missouri may reduce some urban environmental pressures. Its operational status suggests ongoing compliance with federal and state regulations, contributing to the regional energy supply and agricultural value chain.

The facility is situated in Randolph County, Missouri, an area with a mix of agricultural and industrial land uses. Soy refineries like this one can generate air emissions from processing, including volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. The plant's proximity to agricultural feedstocks reduces transportation-related emissions compared to facilities using imported feedstocks. Local water resources may be used for cooling or processing, requiring permits under the Clean Water Act. The facility's environmental impact is managed through EPA regulations and state-level oversight.
