GreenHunter Energy is opening the nation’s single largest biodiesel refinery on June 2 on the Houston Ship Channel.

The facility, a converted waste oil refinery, gives the company direct deepwater access and the opportunity to ship products via barge, rail and truck, the company said.

GreenHunter will produce biodiesel fuel from non-food feedstocks such as tallow and jatropha plants, the company said.

The facility will produce 105 million gallons of B-100 biodiesel fuel per year.
