Description
An expansion project in Geismar, Louisiana.
The project is led by Chevron Renewable Energy Group. The company targets to produce 100,000 barrels a day of renewable fuels capacity by 2030 .
The biorefinery is expected to come online in 2024. Chevron Renewable Energy Group Geismar was the first renewable diesel production facility in the U.S. and was acquired by Chevron Renewable Energy Group in 2014. Since that time, Chevron Renewable Energy Group has been investing in the facility and it first announced the expansion plans in 2020.
In February 2023, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry announced a $100m bond allocation for the expansion project.
