Hitting a Homerun with Soy!

Fuel

 

Soybeans are a major feedstock for the production of Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel, with about 10 billion pounds of soybean oil going toward its production annually. With billions of gallons of Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel being used every year, soybeans are fueling tanks around the globe while fueling demand.

Tires

 

Nearly a decade ago, soybean farmers began collaborating with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company to put U.S. soybeans to work in their products. Since then, soybeans have gone into multiple tire lines, and the company has committed to phasing out petroleum-derived oils by 2040, making more room for soybeans.
