About Renewable Energy Group, Inc.

Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REGI) was a prominent U.S.-based renewable fuels company focused on lower-carbon transportation fuels, most notably biodiesel and renewable diesel. The business originated in Iowa in 1996 as the biodiesel division of West Central Cooperative and later evolved into an independent public company headquartered in Ames, Iowa, United States. REGI was listed on the NASDAQ market, making it a closely watched name for investors tracking the energy transition and the evolution of bio-based fuels. For clarity, REGI is no longer an independent public company today: Chevron completed its acquisition in June 2022, ending REGI’s standalone listing.

Its activities covered feedstock sourcing, industrial production, logistics, marketing, and distribution of biomass-based diesel. The company’s core product set included biodiesel, renewable diesel, and blended fuel solutions designed to reduce lifecycle carbon intensity versus conventional petroleum diesel. REG Ultra Clean was one of the company’s marketed brands, positioned for customers seeking cleaner-burning fuel options and better alignment with environmental policy frameworks. This vertically integrated model helped REGI compete by combining manufacturing scale, supply-chain control, and commercial reach in a market that values both policy access and operational execution.

Its headquarters in Ames, Iowa, anchored a predominantly domestic footprint, with production and distribution assets across the United States. That geographic base allowed the company to serve a broad set of customers, including fuel distributors, industrial buyers, and transportation-related end markets. Within North America, REGI was widely viewed as one of the established names in biodiesel and renewable diesel, benefiting from early entry into the sector and from the gradual expansion of demand for lower-carbon fuels.

Prior to that transaction, REGI had continued to build commercial momentum through supply agreements and product initiatives in low-carbon fuel blends. From an investor’s perspective, REGI is best understood as a case study in sector consolidation: a formerly independent NASDAQ-listed renewable fuels company from the United States that became part of a larger integrated energy platform as scale, feedstock access, and regulatory positioning became increasingly important.
