BUFFALO, NY, September 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Buffalo Biodiesel Inc., a leading national collector and processor of used cooking oil (UCO), has expanded its operations into the Texas market, starting with Kilgore. This strategic move follows the company's recent acquisition of a solid waste management permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which has provided the green light for Buffalo Biodiesel to push its borders outward.
The company is currently executing a scaled entry into the East Texas region, with initial collection operations in Kilgore. To maintain immediate processing continuity, limited quantities of UCO collected in Texas are being transported back to Buffalo Biodiesel's fully permitted, 300,000-gallon-per-week facility in Tonawanda, New York. However, this long-haul logistics framework is a temporary bridge to a much larger Southern infrastructure initiative.
The planned facilities in Alabama and Georgia will serve as high-capacity processing hubs for the rapidly expanding Southern collection routes. By replicating the proven infrastructure of the Tonawanda plant, Buffalo Biodiesel aims to localize its processing footprint. This future infrastructure will significantly reduce transportation mileage, lower carbon emissions associated with logistics, and provide a direct, high-volume supply of refined feedstock to the regional advanced biofuel market.
Through its entry into Texas and its strategic development across the Southeast, Buffalo Biodiesel is reinforcing its commitment to building an efficient, sustainable, and national closed-loop supply chain for renewable energy producers. Founded in 2005, Buffalo Biodiesel Inc. is a national leader in the circular economy, specializing in the recovery and transformation of UCO and agricultural waste streams into renewable fuels and advanced materials. Headquartered in Buffalo, New York, with operations currently spanning 15 states, the company is dedicated to building sustainable, closed-loop industrial ecosystems that reduce carbon emissions and drive economic growth.
