We are now producing Bio diesel at our new state of the art bio diesel refinery. With all of the changes in the environmental regulations sulfur, the lubricity element in diesel fuel, has been drastically diminshed. Where sulfur was removed bio diesel will help lubrication and keep the fuel system running clean.

The AgSTAR Program is a voluntary effort jointly sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The program encourages the use of methane recovery (biogas) technologies at the confined animal feeding operations that manage manure as liquids or slurries. These technologies reduce methane emissions while achieving other environmental benefits.
DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and federal incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. DSIRE is an ongoing project of the North Carolina Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
REAP offers grants and loan guarantees to farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses, to help them purchase renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements. USDA Rural Development administers the REAP program, and potential applicants are encouraged to contact the Mississippi State Energy Coordinator. REAP is a continuation of the program formerly known (prior to 2008) as "Section 9006" or the "Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Grant Program."
The Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP), sponsored by a coalition of public interest nonprofit groups, government agencies, and other organizations in the energy efficiency field, is designed to give consumers and businesses information they need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy-efficient products and technologies passed by Congress as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and subsequent legislation.
Since 1976, the non-profit National Center for Appropriate Technology has been promoting technologies and approaches that enable people to protect natural resources and live better lives. NCAT staff members,including farmers, energy engineers, economists, and architects, have hands-on experience with the full range of energy technologies and agricultural processes. We have designed and managed many energy efficiency programs for agencies, utilities, and private clients. Our National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) assists agricultural producers with a wide range of information needs, including those who would like to conserve energy and explore energy alternatives.
ATTRA - National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service is managed by the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and is funded under a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Business-Cooperative Service. Visit the NCAT Web site for more information on our sustainable agriculture projects.
