Description
Louisiana offers abundant agricultural resources and a favorable climate for growing feedstock crops. Byproducts from the state’s corn, sugarcane and soybeans are used to create renewable fuel.
The state’s wood biomass facilities are capable of producing 1.26 million tons of biomass wood pellets per year, representing 9.4% of pellet production in the U.S.
Louisiana’s multiple ports offer a gateway to international commerce hubs. Delta Biofuel transforms millions of tons of sugarcane waste into a renewable, global energy solution capable of powering some of Europe’s largest utilities.
