Inc. announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) of a proposed joint venture with Bunge Limited’s (BG - Free Report) unit Bunge North America, Inc., a global leader in the procurement, processing, and distribution of oilseed and grain products plus additives.

Chevron and Bunge's joint venture, once completed, will provide both companies with a reliable supply chain from farmer to fueling station. Bunge will provide its soybean processing facilities in Destrehan, LA and Cairo, IL while Chevron will invest $600 million cash in the joint venture. By the end of 2024, the two entities expect to double the total capacity of the facilities from 7,000 tons per day, courtesy of the joint venture.
Through this collaboration, the companies will also look for new prospects in lower-carbon-intensity feedstocks and invest in feedstock pretreatment.
Bunge will continue to operate the facilities under the proposed joint venture agreement, exploiting its skills in oilseed processing and farmer contacts to handle the origination and marketing of meal and plant-based oil. Chevron will hold offtake rights to the oil to be utilized as renewable feedstock to produce lower-carbon diesel and jet fuel. It will also provide market insights as well as downstream retail and commercial distribution channels.
