​

High Plains Bioenergy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaboard Foods, supports the use of sustainable energy from and for the Seaboard Foods’ system. 

​

​​

​High Plains Bioenergy produces biodiesel by using pork fat from the Guymon processing facility. 

​

​HPB-St. Joe Biodiesel, located in St. Joseph, Mo.,  produces biodiesel using regional vegetable oils. 

​

​It is the only biodiesel plant in the United States using predominately pork fat to create biodiesel at a large scale.


​

​Nearly 100 employees convert animal fat or vegetable oils to biodiesel in the plants, which run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

​


​High Plains Bioenergy makes more than 55 million gallons of biodiesel annually.

​​



​The Guymon plant is BQ-9000 certified through the National Biodiesel Board.

​HPB CNG, a division of High Plains Bioenergy, supports the energy needs of Seaboard Foods’ compressed natural gas (CNG) powered vehicles.

​
​

​HPB CNG owns a public filling station, located across the road from the Guymon pork processing facility.

 

​

​This ensures the availability of CNG fuel to Seaboard Foods’ truck fleet and others in the Oklahoma panhandle.

​

​Seaboard Foods has more than 200 vehicles that run on CNG and two additional private filling stations.

 

​

​CNG emits far less pollutants than diesel, including 25% less greenhouse gasses, 88% less NOx and 22% less particulate matter.
