Yesterday, REG was proud to celebrate the completion of a hydrotreater pilot plant collaboration with @IowaStateU. Learn more about the state-of-the-art project here: https://t.co/tDsKzkOyy5

[Chevron Renewable Energy Group @REGbiofuels]

Today, REG and @IowaStateU celebrated the completion of the three-year project of building a hydrotreater pilot plant at BioCentury Research Farm. The pilot plant will be used to better understand how various feedstocks play a role in production of renewable fuels.

[IowaStateUNews @IowaStateUNews]

Wendy Wintersteen, president of Iowa State, and Cynthia (CJ) Warner, president and CEO of Ames-based
@REGbiofuels, dedicate a new pilot plant at the @IowaStateBCRF. The pilot plant will test various biomass feedstocks for the production of renewable diesel.

[ISU Biomass @ISUBiomass]

We made a hole in the ground to install some oxygen sensors at different depths (alongside an existing soil moisture sensor). These measurements will help us understand controls on microbial activity. #FieldFriday

NEW: Drax plans to construct three plants in Arkansas that are together expected to produce around 120,000 tonnes per annum of sustainable biomass pellets from sawmill residues: https://t.co/4AG8OdlfAD

[Iowa Dept of Agriculture & Land Stewardship @IADeptAg]

Today, for #CleanWaterWednesday, @MikeNaigIA and @IAwateralliance joined @BigShowFarm to discuss the IA Systems Approach to Conservation Drainage (ISACD) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) and ways innovations from the @IowaStateBCRF are benefitting IA’s farmers.

[Iowa State BCRF @IowaStateBCRF]

Did you catch one of our faculty partners on @BigShowFarm this morning? Thanks to @IAwateralliance for involving us in this event!

[Iowa Ag Water Alliance @IAwateralliance]

This research conducted by ISU has a strong focus on optimizing cover crops, fertilizer management and sub-surface agricultural drainage to improve water quality.
Listen to @BigShowFarm at 11:20 as @castellmj shares about this research.

[America's Cultivation Corridor @CultivationCorr]

With @IowaStateU being a top school in the ag industry, they are conducting innovative research at both the @ISUResearchPark and the @IowaStateBCRF.These facilities offer sustainable innovations that benefit agriculture as a whole. #IA #Tech #Innovation
