Renewable Energy Group
Renewable Energy Group – headquartered in Ames, Iowa — has been a Wisconsin Clean Cities member since 2017.
The roots of Renewable Energy Group (REG) go back more than two decades to when the company operated under the umbrella of West Central Cooperative in Ralston, Iowa. The company’s history parallels that of the biodiesel industry as a whole. When they made their first batch of biodiesel in 1996, the industry was still in its early stages and was a niche market with a potential few foresaw. While REG’s leaders grew the company carefully and consistently by finding opportunity within challenges, they also advocated for the biodiesel industry as a whole, often working with competitors for the greater good.
Today, REG is the largest biodiesel producer by volume in the United States — as well as a producer and supplier of many other products — and continues to contribute resources and leadership to biofuel advocacy groups worldwide.
Renewable Energy Group is a global company — and a local one. With locations throughout the U.S. and in Europe, REG is a player on the world stage when it comes to cleaner fuels. The company’s commercial-scale biorefineries and sophisticated production processes ensure they produce high-quality products. The numerous terminal locations and relationships with suppliers and end users allow REG to get fuel where it needs to go. The company is also active in and cares deeply about the communities in which they are located. REG is not just a producer and supplier of cleaner fuels. They are also a creator of jobs and a source of economic development for local and regional economies.
A lot has changed in the 20-plus years of REG’s history, but the pioneering spirit of REG has remained the same. By taking the long view, investing in the future of the company and industry, taking calculated risks and continuously improving everything from refining processes to logistics to research and development, REG has become the driving force to move fuel forward to a more sustainable future.
