The expansion project will be in the form of a second, independent parallel plant located next to the existing facility and will also include a renewable naphtha finishing facility to produce approximately 50 million – 60 million gal. of renewable naphtha, adding incremental low carbon credit opportunities to the entire DGD operation.
