Topsoe technology selected for CountryMark’s refinery

Located in southwestern Indiana, the refinery processes 35 000 bpd. With the addition of Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology, CountryMark aims to produce up to 250 000 bpy of renewable diesel. The new unit is expected to enable an emission avoidance of approximately 84 500 tpy of carbon dioxide equivalent – the equivalent of eliminating emissions from more than 186 000 commercial trucking roundtrips between Indianapolis and Washington D.C.

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.

Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director of Topsoe Americas, said: “Our collaboration with CountryMark goes back many years. With demand for renewable diesel continuing to grow, we are excited to partner with CountryMark on their journey to produce cleaner fuels and contribute to America’s low-carbon energy future.”

Matt Smorch, CountryMark President and CEO, added: “We saw this as an opportunity to deliver increased value to CountryMark diesel fuel buyers, increase the demand for Indiana agricultural products, and add value to our refining assets.”
