Strategic Biofuels is focused on developing a series of deeply negative carbon footprint plants that convert waste materials from managed forests into renewable diesel fuel and renewable naphtha. Strategic Biofuels LLC is a team of O&G, petrochemical and renewable technology leaders focused on developing a series of deeply negative carbon footprint plants in northern Louisiana that convert waste m

aterials from managed forests into renewable diesel fuel and renewable naphtha. The fuel qualifies for substantial Carbon Credits under the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS) and under the California Low Carbon Fuels Standard (LCFS).

Paul Oesterreich, SVP, Project Development, recently participated in the Wood Bioenergy Conference & Expo in Atlanta, sharing an update on the LGF project and lessons learned to date.

As project developers advance through multiple engineering phases, securing development capital remains a constant focus. Teams must also navigate technical risk tied to planned technologies, feedstock supply and pricing dynamics, product market uncertainty, and shifting policy that can impact project economics.

Thank you for the opportunity to share our story and project updates over these last three biannual conferences, and for the helpful industry knowledge gained through our participation.

Biofuels Digest's 2026 HOT 50 nominations are open, spotlighting the “50 Hottest Companies in the Bioeconomy” for innovation in fuels and integrated biorefinery development.

With Strategic Biofuels advancing a first-of-its-kind approach to clean, reliable power, we’re building a 100 MW wood‑fired facility that delivers 24/7 dispatchable electricity while capturing and permanently storing CO2 directly beneath the site.

Nominations are open through May 1 (5pm ET) at the link below — we’d love your support in nominating Strategic Biofuels. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sv/nc032BV/hot50

Yesterday, The Strategic Biofuels Foundation was proud to present a $2,500 donation to the Kaleidoscope Café in Caldwell Parish. Pictured is Daniel Robinson presenting the check, joined by Paul Schubert and Bob Meredith.

Kaleidoscope Café is an innovative program that empowers high school students with developmental disabilities through real-world workforce training in food service and hospitality, building customer service, teamwork, and job readiness skills.

We are proud to invest in programs that turn learning into confidence, capability, and opportunity for students in our community.

On April 9, the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy (C&E) held a public meeting regarding Strategic Biofuels’ draft Class VI Well Permit and one thing is clear: support for the LGF project remains strong.

At the hearing, 21 groups showed up in support, with only 3 in opposition. That strong turnout reflects what we have said from the beginning: this project has built real local support through ongoing engagement, transparency, and a focus on facts.

Thank you to the many community members, stakeholders, and supporters who showed up and made their voices heard. Your participation underscored the momentum behind LGF and the broad base of support it has earned. We look forward to what comes next and to continuing to advance this project in partnership with Caldwell Parish.

In 2020, the Caldwell Parish Industrial Development Board asked LGF to expand its site selection to include Caldwell Parish. The Board’s case was straightforward: locally tailored incentives could offset disadvantages, and hosting a CCS‑enabled project would help the parish stand out in a competitive regional market for industrial investment.

Our plan is phased by design. Renewable electricity comes first (Phase 1) to meet strong demand today, and our biorefinery follows as Phase 2. Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are both biofuels, and the credits that support them remain in place.

LGF controls who can access our CO2 storage reservoir. A conceptual national pipeline map created by academic research professors is not a construction plan, and no rule compels a private storage operator to accept third‑party CO2.

When we look at where Caldwell Parish stands today, the numbers tell a clear story. Since 2010, the parish has lost 764 residents and 1,303 jobs, shrinking the tax base and putting pressure on local services. Without new industrial investment, these trends are likely to continue.

In this blog post, we explain why these facts matter and how LGF was asked to evaluate a local-first solution that keeps jobs, investment, and reliable, clean power in-parish. As the LGF project advances, it is expected to create 79 full‑time positions in Caldwell Parish, plus 300+ indirect jobs across the region.

LGF has publicly pledged not to import third‑party CO2. Our short, small‑diameter lines are routed away from homes, continuously monitored, and are paired with LGF‑funded training and equipment for local first responders.

See how this approach keeps benefits local and safety front‑and‑center: https://strategicbiofuels.com/news/lgf-co2-storage-13-false-claims/

At Strategic Biofuels, community impact is part of the plan. Headquartered in rural Northeast Louisiana, where more than a quarter of residents live below the poverty line, our focus is long‑term benefits for Caldwell Parish: jobs, infrastructure improvements, and opportunities that help the region flourish.
