Diamond Green Diesel

Diamond Green Diesel’s Port Arthur plant converts waste oils and fats into renewable diesel through hydroprocessing. Feedstocks are cleaned, hydrotreated to remove oxygen, then isomerized and fractionated into finished fuels. The result is a drop-in hydrocarbon diesel fully compatible with existing engines and infrastructure, delivering up to 80% lower lifecycle emissions compared to fossil diesel.
