Turning Waste into Renewable Energy
Our connected food system doesn’t stop when we send pork products to market. We aim to be good environmental stewards, and we are always working to reduce or repurpose our waste.
Converting Animal Fat to Biodiesel
Seaboard Energy supports the use of renewable energy alternatives from and for Seaboard Foods. Seaboard Energy produces biodiesel by using pork fat from our processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma.

Seaboard Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaboard Foods, produced 70 million gallons of biodiesel *
Seaboard Energy produced enough biodiesel to fuel 5,687 trucks driving 80,000 miles a year for one year *
We replaced 379,513 diesel gallons with CNG in our farm operations *

**These accomplishments are the result of the cooperative efforts of Seaboard Foods, its wholly-owned subsidiary Seaboard Energy, LLC, and Seaboard Energy’s respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

Harnessing the Benefits of Compressed Natural Gas
Seaboard Energy CNG also supports the energy needs of Seaboard Foods’ compressed natural gas (CNG) powered vehicles with a public filling station located near our Guymon processing facility.
CNG burns much cleaner than gasoline or petroleum diesel because it primarily consists of methane, the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. Compared to petroleum diesel, CNG emits far fewer pollutants, including 25% less greenhouse gasses, 88% less NOx and 22% less particulate matter.
