DG Fuels: The Unusual Suspects are building big in Louisiana, as SAFtember continuesSeptember 21, 2021 at 7:33 PM There have been a number of ambitious projects for Sustainable Aviation Fuels announced in recent days, mostly from the Usual Suspects. But, an unusual suspect became more visible earlier this month when word arrived that DG Fuels was invited to submit a Part II Application for a loan guarantee under the U.S. Department of Energy Title XVII Loan Guarantee Program.
If successful, the proposed $2.15 billion loan guarantee from the DOE would accelerate the scaling up of the proposed sustainabl...Tags: Top Stories, Louisiana, DOE, Velocys, Aemetis, EPC, ASTM, Eric McAfee, St James Parish, Mark Riedy, Black Veatch, Digestville, Washington Wizard, DG Team, Mike Darcy 27 people like this.
