LONG BEACH, CALIF. — Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGI) launched the company’s latest innovation in diesel fuel, REG Ultra Clean Diesel, at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Long Beach, California on Tuesday.
REG Ultra Clean Diesel, which is among the lowest emission diesel fuels on the market today, is a patent-pending fuel that is made of a proprietary blend of renewable diesel and biodiesel.
