Chevron Renewable Energy Group breaks ground on lower carbon feedstock expansion project
In Germany, Chevron Renewable Energy Group broke ground in August 2022 on the expansion of its biorefinery in Emden, Germany. The expansion project includes the addition of a pretreatment system at the facility, which is expected to allow the business to utilize a broader variety of feedstocks for the production of biodiesel.
Chevron Renewable Energy Group operates biodiesel production facilities in Emden and Oeding, Germany. The expansion project in Emden is designed to benefit both facilities by enabling the business to refine some of the lowest carbon intensity feedstocks, including ‘Generation 3’ feedstocks as defined under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) II, the firm said.
Kevin Lucke, president of Chevron Renewable Energy Group, said: “Feedstock innovation and acceptance is critical to the growth of bio-based fuels globally and we continue to advocate for the ability to utilize all generations of feedstocks and technology neutrality.”
