Tyson Foods has recently announced plans to go green, at least when it comes to animal by-products. This is an important step in the farming world, as Tyson provides around 25% of the nation’s meat and about 300 million gallons of animal fat every year. They’re a leader in this industry, so their commitment to go green will hopefully inspire others to go green as well.
What exactly are their plans?
Well, they’ve signed on with Syntroleum Corporation, an Oklahoma company, to convert those 300 million gallons to biofuel – specifically, biodiesel and jet fuel. They expect to produce about75 million gallons annually by 2010.
