REG renewable diesel plant to expand

Renewable Energy Group held a ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the start of the expansion of its renewable diesel plant at REG Geismar.

The project will take total site production capacity from 90 million gallons per year to 340 million gallons per year. REG Geismar was the first renewable diesel production facility in the US and was acquired by REG in 2014.

REG first announced their plans for expansion of REG Geismar in 2020, and announced earlier this year that the project was being combined with an original plant improvement project, with both being advanced to construction phase.
