Renewable Energy Group Inc. now estimates that its Geismar, La. plant will be out of production for two to four months after a fire on April 2 that injured two employees, who are recovering. REG reported that preliminary inspections showed damage to a limited area. The plant will move up its scheduled monthlong maintenance shutdown to get a variety of work done on the plant during the fire recovery. Loadouts for the renewable hydrocarbon diesel produced at the plant are expected to resume later this week.
