billion, 180 million gallon per year SAF facility in Louisiana to occur in early 2024. The Louisiana SAF facility will be the template for multiple other such facilities to be built across North America, Europe and Asia. The relatively modest balance of the maximum $30-million capital raise is expected to fund in the next few months.
REG converts waste and byproduct fats and oils into biodiesel and renewable diesel. Renewable diesel is produced through a catalytic process utilizing heat, pressure and hydrogen—hydrotreating—to convert feedstocks into a hydrocarbon fuel that is chemically similar to traditional diesel.
Chevron (as well as fellow oil major ExxonMobil) has been developing co-processing—adding biomass-derived feedstocks to the fossil-based feedstocks of existing petroleum refinery process units—as a way to produce fuels with increased renewable content more cost-effectively.
Neste Oil Corporation has filed a patent infringement action against Dynamic Fuels, LLC, Syntroleum Corporation, and Tyson Foods, Inc in the US District Court for the District of Delaware. Neste Oil is the world’s leading producer of premium-quality renewable diesel. —Matti Hautakangas, Neste Oil’s General Counsel.
Air Products will supply a combined additional supply of more than 200 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen for Valero’s refineries in St. Charles, Louisiana and Port Arthur, Texas. This proposed new hydrogen facility would help to serve Valero’s St. billion cubic feet of hydrogen per day.

Planned feedstocks include a mix of waste fats, oils and greases, including regionally-sourced vegetable oils, animal fats and used cooking oil. This includes REG Geismar, a 75-million-gallon nameplate capacity plant located in Louisiana that was the first renewable diesel plant built in North America.
Air Liquide’s latest large-scale hydrogen production unit recently began operations on the site of ConocoPhillips’ San Francisco refinery in Rodeo, California, on the north eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. Air Liquide has more than doubled its US production capacity of hydrogen in the last five years.
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) staff has released for public comment four new Tier 2 renewable diesel (RD) pathways using soy oil, used cooking oil, tallow, and corn oil at the Diamond Green facility in St. Charles, Louisiana. Used Cooking Oil. Description.
MOL), and Clean Hydrogen Works, LLC (CHW) announced MCE as a Joint Venture shareholder in Ascension Clean Energy (ACE), a proposed $7.5-billion, billion, clean hydrogen-ammonia production and export facility in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. MOL Clean Energy, US, LLC (MCE), a 100% subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.
Air Products will increase the supply of hydrogen to Marathon Petroleum Company LP, a subsidiary of Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO), at Marathon’s Garyville, La. The increased supply of hydrogen, required to meet production demands at the refinery, will occur in two increments with the first in 2011, and the second in 2012.
Fats and greases and inedible oils are opportunity feedstocks, but the US supply of fats and greases is probably on the order of less than 10 million barrels, closer to 1-2 million barrels on an annual basis. That plant, in Norco, Louisiana, will have the capacity to produce more than 9,300 barrels per day of renewable diesel product.
million tons per annum) at its Shell Geismar Chemicals facility in Geismar, Louisiana, in the United States. Once operational, this unit will supply LNG along the Mississippi River, the Intra-Coastal Waterway and to the offshore Gulf of Mexico and the onshore oil and gas exploration areas of Texas and Louisiana. Great Lakes.
Renewable diesel is a 100% hydrocarbon renewable fuel produced by hydrotreating fats and oils; it can be used in existing diesel engines without modification. The renewable diesel used by NYC will be produced domestically by Renewable Energy Group (REG) and will be distributed by Sprague Energy. from the intermediate renewable hydrocarbons.
The process hydrogenates triglycerides and free fatty acid feedstocks which are then isomerized to create a high-quality hydrocarbon fuel (RD). All of the co-product streams go to the adjacent Valero oil refinery to be separated into fuel gas, propane, and naphtha through a distillation process. Rendered animal fat: 31.86.
an experienced developer of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCS) solutions and enhanced oil recovery. —Dan Ammann, President, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions In addition to Denbury’s carbon capture and storage assets, the acquisition includes Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain oil and natural gas operations.
The oil price shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) offered a conditional commitment to guarantee loans of up to $2 billion to Lake Charles Methanol, LLC to construct the world’s first methanol production facility to employ carbon capture technology in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

LanzaTech and its partners, The City College of New York (CUNY), Louisiana State University (LSU) and Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech) will collaborate to extend LanzaTech’s core fermentation technology to unlock the potential of waste methane gases through novel and smaller-scale bioreactor design.
The projects—located in Louisiana, Texas and Illinois—were initially selected in October 2009 for phase one research and development grants. million tons of CO 2 per year and increase domestic production of oil by more than 10 million barrels per year by the end of the demonstration period in September 2015.
About 85% of the CO 2 from the process stream will be captured and over 5 million tons sequestered into a depleted oil or gas field. C6 Resources, an affiliate of Shell Oil Company, will conduct the project in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. DOE Share: $3,014,666).
Additional payments of up to $550 million could be payable by Total in case of an improvement in the oil markets in the coming years. In addition, in parallel with this transaction, Total and Engie agreed to cooperate to promote the use of biogas and renewable hydrogen, with Engie becoming Total’s priority supplier in this field.
Now, if you want to argue that the new rule is effectively a mandate since it would likely force automakers to produce more battery-electric vehicles (or fuel-cell vehicles that use hydrogen to produce electric energy/power), that's fair. Just, perhaps, fewer of them. Don't lie and claim it is something it is not.
