Nation loses one of its 11 biodiesel refineries

W2Fuel in Crawford, Iowa shut down operations this week with a company official explaining the firm needed more certainty for the need of its product. The plant produced nearly 10 million gallons of fuel a year.

But there was doubt about how long a $1 a gallon federal tax credit might exist and if federal mandates for the use of biofuels will be expanded reported the Iowa Capital Dispatch.
