# Chevron Plans Ralston, Iowa Biodiesel Plant Restart With Landus Deal

> Chevron announced plans to resume operations at its idled biodiesel plant in Ralston, Iowa, which has been shut since 2024. The restart is backed by a feedstock supply agreement with neighboring Landus Cooperative, whose soybean plant will supply the raw material. The company says it will be a staged process with no firm restart date yet.

## Why it matters

Restarting a plant with roughly 42 million gallons of annual capacity adds soybean oil demand from biodiesel, supporting soybean oil and crush margins. The effect on prices is modest given the staged timeline and no firm date.
