• Developer gets CARB grant
• Money will help pay for construction
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has made a $640,000 grant to the Primafuel biodiesel production facility project at the Port of Sacramento.
It’s the largest-ever single California grant for biodiesel production, the port says.
The money will help pay for construction of the plant.
In May, Primafuel Inc. of Long Beach and the Port of Sacramento announced the construction of a 60 million gallon biodiesel manufacturing facility at the North Terminal facility in West Sacramento.
"This project marks the beginning of a business renaissance at the Port of Sacramento, bringing in environmentally sound businesses to West Sacramento that supports maritime commerce," says Mike McGowan, chairman of the Sacramento-Yolo Port District Commission.
