Acquiring the former biodiesel refinery at 7350 State Route 111 in South Roxana, Illinois, offers a strategic entry into the Midwest’s energy production and distribution markets in the St. Louis metropolitan area and major petroleum distribution hubs.

The former refinery facility is located in a high-density industrial corridor near the Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery, providing a robust infrastructure for fuel blending and logistics. The plant is currently “offline” and has been partially dismantled as part of a redesign and rebuild. Some components have been removed and transferred to other facilities. The plant would need additional equipment to be put back into production again. The majority of the onsite tank farm is still intact, which would make a transition to a fuel wholesale/storage/distribution terminal very easy for a buyer.

Located in the southwest corner of Illinois, adjacent to St. Louis, on the Illinois border, within the St. Louis markets. Its logistical advantages are further enhanced by nearby rail and truck access, connecting the former refinery to vital shipping routes like the Mississippi River, America's Central Port, which includes: 2-Multi-Modal Harbors, 6-Class-1 Railroads and the interstate transportation hub of I-70, I-270, I-44, I-64 and I-55.
