Tyson Foods To Build Plant Run On Chicken Fat
Tyson, Syntroleum set to announce new plant: report

Mon Jun 25, 3:43 AM ET



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:TSN - news) and Syntroleum Corp. (Nasdaq:SYNM - news) are set to announce plans for a $150 million plant that would turn fat from Tyson plants into fuel, The Wall Street Journal Online reported on Monday.

The Tyson and Syntroleum plant, to be built somewhere in the South Central United States, will produce 75 million gallons of fat-based fuel annually, about 5 percent of the output of a typical modern oil refinery, the Journal said.

Neither company was immediately available for comment.

1. I'd rather they render the fat for fuel then leave it inside the
birds and charge me by the pound for the stuff I throw out. How many chickens to a gallon?
