How Chevron Geismar Transforms Waste into Millions of Gallons of Renewable Fuel

Chevron’s Geismar plant turns organic waste products like cooking oil and animal fats into high-quality renewable diesel. Following a major expansion, the facility now produces 340 million gallons of drop-in fuel annually. This growth created over 90 new permanent jobs while strengthening partnerships across the Ascension Parish community. The plant's annual output reduces carbon emissions equivalent to taking every US passenger vehicle off the road for two days.
