Based in Fenton, Michigan, Benecor is a leading supplier of advanced infrastructure solutions to help fleets and retail-fuel stations successfully transition to high biodiesel blends.    

Founded in 2022 by the Michigan Soybean Committee and the Michigan Soybean Association, MiABC works to increase understanding and adoption of biodiesel and other advanced biofuels produced from renewable resources such as soybean oil.     

“By providing key infrastructure components that are biodiesel-compatible, Benecor is an important partner in the biofuels supply chain,” said Hanna Campbell, MSC market-development director and managing director of MiABC.

“The company has a demonstrated commitment to low-carbon fuel options and will be an asset to our coalition,” she added.

Benecor engineers and produces state-of-the-art aboveground storage tanks and fuel-dispensing systems that allow fleet and retail operators to seamlessly integrate biodiesel blends up to 100 percent (B100).  

Benecor recently collaborated with other industry partners to roll out the country’s first B99 retail offering for commercial fleets at a Pilot Travel Center in Decatur, Illinois.    

“We recognize the critical role that renewable fuels like biodiesel play in reducing carbon emissions and improving fuel efficiency,” said Benecor President Brendan Foster. 

“By investing in development of infrastructure solutions to support renewable fuels, Benecor empowers businesses and fleets to contribute to a more sustainable future,” Foster said. 

“We look forward to partnering with other MiABC stakeholders to help educate people about biodiesel and the systems that facilitate its use,” he added.
