"This solid performance, alongside our successful navigation of the many external challenges of the past year, reinforces our optimism about the future."

Warner added, "Continuing our drive to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, we have moved into the construction phase of the Geismar improvement and expansion project. Expanding our renewable diesel offering and advancing this project continues to be a key pillar of our growth strategy and is a significant milestone for us. In addition, we launched a global partnership with Manchester United with a goal of promoting renewable fuels, the Chevron Renewable Energy Group brand, and worldwide recognition that bio-based diesel enables our customers to generate significant decarbonization NOW. We firmly believe that our low carbon intensity fuels will play a key role in the world’s ongoing energy transition to clean, sustainable energy."

Geismar Improvement and Expansion

The Geismar project brings together the planned expansion with an improvement project for the existing site. This joint project will take total site production capacity from 90 million to 340 million gallons, enhance existing operations, and improve operational reliability and logistics.

The capital cost for the entire Geismar project, now includes both the expansion as well as operational and logistics enhancements to the current plant, is estimated at $950 million. The Company has received all required permits to proceed, and has secured funding necessary for the project. In addition, the Company has agreed upon a long-term lease for marine terminal and logistics services.
