This I think has just happened. No talk about cause.

SW Idaho is having a rough morning: A brush fire, a power outage because of a truck accident, and this explosion.

I am not sure the plant was in full production yet...I think it was just about to start that, and it may have still been under construction. I haven't been keeping up on the Boise news, but I was looking for info about that brush fire.

That was a quote from a Charles Bronson movie, Assassination. he was a Secret Service agent assigned to protect the First Lady. The yacht she was about to board blew up and she thought it was just an "accident" while re-fueling. But the engines were diesels, not gasoline.......

The facility was originally scheduled to open two months ago, but was delayed by safety concerns. This is certainly no help.

An explosion at a biodiesel plant would, as far as I know, involve ethanol and/or methanol that are used in processing.
Biodiesel itself is considered non-flammable, having a flash point of around 150 C.

This is true...gasoline is more volatile...but I reread this statement in the story:
--The facility was originally scheduled to open two months ago, but was delayed by safety concerns.---
Maybe they were on to something.

...., but was delayed by safety concerns. They were obviously correct.......

I think it counts what you're measuring.
I suspect this will turn out to be just an industrial accident - probably someone doing something in the way of construction when it caught fire, like welding.
