Renewable Energy Group and Mid-Iowa Cooperative plan a new Shell Rock, Iowa soybean processing plant producing almost half a billion pounds of soy oil annually for renewable diesel feedstock. The project adds new crush capacity aimed at renewable diesel demand.
New crushing capacity increases soybean and meal output over time, with more oil directed to renewable diesel, which shifts the soy crush balance toward oil and supports soybean oil prices relative to meal.
