REG Expands Used Cooking Oil Supply, Acquires Tellurian Biodiesel and American BDF

Renewable Energy Group (REG), headquartered in Ames, Iowa, is acquiring Tellurian Biodiesel, Inc. and American BDF, LLC (ABDF).

The acquisitions connect a national used cooking oil collection system — with more than 16,000 installations — with REG's network of biodiesel manufacturing facilities.

"Just by gaining access to this nationwide system of used cooking oil collection depots, REG has the potential, over time, to replace more than a half million barrels of imported crude oil with sustainable, domestically produced biodiesel," explained REG Vice President, Supply Chain Management, Dave Elsenbast.

Used cooking oil will augment REG's current national, multi‐feedstock procurement program that supplies the company's commercial‐scale biodiesel facilities. The REG network has a reported combined annual production capacity of more than 200 million gallons. Finished biodiesel will be marketed and distributed under Renewable Energy Group's REG‐9000TM branded biodiesel platform to petroleum distributors and refiners nationwide.
