On August 23, North Prairie and Landmark Services Cooperative will host a community open
house at the Evansville High School from 1:00 – 8:00 p.m. to introduce the proposed biodiesel
project. The open house will provide an opportunity for local residents to learn more about the
project and to meet members involved with the project.
“We look forward to sharing our excitement and more information with local residents as we
work to establish Evansville at the center of Wisconsin’s renewable biofuels industry.
Biodiesel production represents a step forward in the state’s effort to promote energy
independence, and this NPP/Evansville initiative will greatly enhance the effort,” said
Pieterick.
Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel made from animal fats and vegetable oils,
such as soybeans. Biodiesel is safe for compression-ignition, diesel engines without
modification. As a pure fuel, biodiesel contains no petroleum but it is typically blended with
petroleum diesel to create biodiesel blends from five percent (B5) to 20 percent (B20).
Biodiesel significantly improves the lubricity of petroleum diesel fuel at levels as low as 2
percent (B2) and therefore is a preferred addition to petroleum-based, ultra-low sulfur fuels.
North Prairie Productions, LLC, currently has an office in Waterloo, Wis., but intends to move
company headquarters to Evansville in the future. Additional company information and
background on biodiesel is available on the company website at www.npnrg.com or by calling
toll-free at 877-299-2435.
