Montana is locked out also by its agreement. This is/will be a camelina crush plant. This plant is built right in the middle of farmland being camelina farmed. That is what the plant was the two times before CPOW. That is why there is also a trained working force for this plant in Culbertson, MT.
Reason: Cost prohibitive, Rent 10,000/mo with an add on of $15/MT above 2000MT/mo. Example: 5000MT would cost in rent $15/MT @ 3000MT = $45,000 + $10,000rent = $55,000 rent due. Conversely; that same 3,000 produced for Great Plains becomes income @ $60/MT = $180,000/mo revenue due CPOW.
Which would you strive to do...Remember Great Plains has a forwarding agreement with Bio Jet Corp to get bio jetfuel. IMO, this plant will produce camelina oil which will be further refined at the Alabama site for biodiesel and biojetfuel
But, it does have a train sideing next to it and I think,access to ARCO's oil pipeline. (it is named something else, now), It used to be homebased out of Independence, KS. Very much like the transAlaskan pipeline. I will need to check my facts on where this pipeline and feeders actually lay. Oil is oil when it travels in a pipeline... and goes straight to Houston. Much faster than a train.
