REG to invest $24 million to expand Ralston production capacity to 30 million gallons

In Iowa, REG announced plans for its first biorefinery capacity expansion, a $24 million investment to increase REG Ralston’s annual nameplate production capacity to 30 million gallons. The company will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on Tuesday, November 8 with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad as the featured speaker. The REG Ralston expansion announcement comes on the heels of Landus Cooperative expanding their adjacent soy crush operation. Once completed, the Ralston expansion would increase REG’s cumulative nameplate capacity from its 11 active biomass-based diesel plants across the country to 470 million gallons annually.
