Grön hopes to start work in 2021 on renewable diesel plant that could be worth $9.2 billion

Officials with Grön Fuels said they are shooting for 2021 to break ground on a multi-phase renewable diesel fuel plant at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge that could be as much as a $9.2 billion investment over nine years.

“2021 is when we want to get started with it,” said Daniel Shapiro, co-founder of the Houston-based company. “We’ve got a significant amount of engineering work that’s going to be done. That’s the key thing that will determine when we start in the year.”
