Upon completion of the project, which is expected in 2025, the DGD Port Arthur plant will have the capability to upgrade approximately 50 percent of its current 470 million (US) gallon (≈ 1.8 billion litre) annual production capacity to SAF.
The project’s estimated cost is approximately US$315 million, with half of that attributable to Darling Ingredients. With the completion of this project, DGD is expected to be one of the larger SAF manufacturers in the world.
As one of the largest and most successful producers of renewable diesel for nearly a decade, it’s exciting to enter the next phase of our growth in the aviation market. Darling Ingredients’ global supply chain of waste fats and oils, combined with our partner’s operational and technical expertise, position us as a leader in decarbonization solutions, said Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO and Chairman of Darling Ingredients.
