---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Investor-owned Inland Empire Oilseeds LLC (Odessa, Washington) is planning to hold their biodiesel plant grand opening tomorrow to mark the start of operations of an 8 million-gallon-per-year biodiesel plant in Odessa, Washington.

Currently, the plant is running at 4 million gallons per year as the company awaits delivery of two more horizontal presses and an extruder that will allow the plant to crush 50 tons per day of canola oil, which will boost capacity to 8 million gallons per year.

The plant utilizes Green Star Products Incorporated (OTC:GSPI) (San Diego, California) process technology and crushes oil seeds onsite. The ceremony will take place Wednesday, September 2, and is open to the public. The festivities will begin at noon at the plant at 206 West Railroad Avenue in Odessa, and will include remarks by state Director of Agriculture Dan Newhouse.

The plant is in an existing 28,000-square-foot building and has an onsite storage capacity of 60,000 gallons. The rail service for the plant is provided by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (NYSE:BNI) (Fort Worth, Texas), with a 26-car rail siding.

Cost estimates to build the plant were in the $15 million range.
