REG’s biodiesel plant is RFS2 ready
The Environmental Protection Agency has named Iowa’s first ‘RFS2 ready’ generating facility. Biodiesel producer Renewable Energy Group (REG) owns the plant, located in Newton, Iowa, US.
The facility, which has the capacity to produce 30 million gallons of biodiesel annually, has completed stages one and two of the three-part compliance preparedness timeline and now has the 'Completed & Accepted Registration' status.
‘Being the nation’s first biodiesel plant re-registered and ready to supply EPA-compliant RINs (renewable identification numbers) along with high quality biodiesel to meet volumetric requirements of RFS2 is an important signal to the petroleum industry,’ said REG’s VP of sales and marketing Gary Haer. ‘Renewable Energy Group...and the biodiesel industry...are committed to helping our petroleum partners meet their compliance requirements on time. We look forward to quickly reaching ‘Approved Registration’ status to be fully compliant within EPA’s guidelines for RFS2.’
REG aims for all of its biodiesel plants to be re-registered and eligible to generate RINs by 1 July this year.
