A western Kentucky grain company is building a $22 million biodiesel production plant.

Owensboro Grain Company vice president John Wright says the plant is on track to begin production in June of next year.

Wright says the plant will have the capacity to produce 50 million gallons of biodiesel a year, making it among the largest such facilities in the nation.

The National Biodiesel Board reports that Americans used 75 million gallons of biodiesel last year - up from 500 thousand gallons in 1999.

At the beginning of 2006, there were 65 biodiesel plants in the US, with a total annual capacity of 395 million gallons.

The board says eight of those plants are expanding and 50 more plants are under construction.
