The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is proposing to provide $25,000 of State Energy Program American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to Earl Fisher Biofuels, LLC (EFB) for the purchase and installation of two Kern Kraft KK40 oil seed crushers at their existing biodiesel production facility located in Chester's industrial park west of Chester, Montana. The purpose of the proposed project is to increase oil seed crushing capacity and biodiesel production by 40% and support a self sustaining industry by creating a market for oilseed crops that can be grown locally, converted to fuel locally, and consumed locally.
