(KNOX) – Epitome Energy is scheduled to build a full-service soybean crush plant in Grand Forks to serve farmers and agribusiness throughout eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.
Epitome Energy CEO Dennis Egan says they have obtained the required licenses and businesses they will be dealing with.
“Our air permit has been secured. We have all of our off-take agreements for all of our soybean meal, all of our oil, has been secured with national companies,” Egan says.
The plant is scheduled to process up to 42 million bushels of soybeans per year into high-quality soybean oil, soybean meal, and soybean hulls. These in-demand products will be used for the refining of climate-friendly biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel, livestock meal, and foodstuffs.
Ground is expected to be broken for the facility at the end of 2025.
