Bunge Global SA (BG - Free Report) , along with Chevron Corporation (CVX - Free Report) , announced the approval of a final investment decision for the joint venture, Bunge Chevron Ag Renewables LLC, to develop a new oilseed processing plant. Building the new facility is a further step forward in BG's long-term strategy to scale up its capabilities for the renewable fuels industry while lowering carbon intensity.
