A new production plant for biofuel will hold its grand opening on May 7th. Nu-energie is a project put together by two Surgoinsville businessmen who decided to go green. Brian Hullette and Joel Day say the production plant will be able to produce up to 5-million gallons of Bio Deisel a year.
Already Nu-Energy says its first client is Eastman. They say with all the industry in the Tri-cities and the new more strict EPA air quality standards, they see Bio fuel as a wave of the future.
The project cost about 4-million dollars, which plant owners say was supplemented with U.S.D.A. loans.
