Topsoe has been selected as the renewable diesel technology partner for CountryMark’s Mount Vernon, Indiana refinery. With the addition of Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology, CountryMark aims to produce up to 250,000 barrels of renewable diesel annually. CountryMark, a farmer-owned cooperative, will utilise local soybean oil as the primary feedstock to produce renewable diesel, helping create a locally sourced renewable fuel economy in Indiana. Renewable fuels offer an efficient, commercially scalable pathway to reduce emissions associated with hard-to-abate sectors like heavy-duty transport and aviation. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US renewable diesel consumption reached 3.1 billion gallons in 2023.
