Reuters reveals Delta Air Lines readies refinery to process biofuels

Reuters exclusively revealed that Delta Air Lines plans to start receiving shipments of renewable fuel feedstocks at its Trainer, Pennsylvania, refinery as part of a strategy that could reduce its environmental liabilities by hundreds of millions of dollars. Sources said the refinery is expected to start importing agricultural products such as soybean oil, which can be used to make a biomass-based diesel that satisfies federal blending requirements.
