SALEM (AP) — SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel has starting shipping fuel from a new plant that has boosted capacity to 5 million gallons per year.

The old plant had a capacity of just 1 million gallons.

The big increase also means the supply of fuel is big enough in Oregon to trigger a statewide mandate that requires all diesel sold in the state to contain 2 percent biodiesel.

SeQuential Pacific produces biodiesel as sustainably as possible from local feedstocks, including old cooking oil.
