Philips 66 announced plans today to convert their Rodeo, CA refinery to a renewable fuel production facility. The news release published today stated that the converted refinery would have an annual production capacity of 680 million gallons of renewable diesel, jet fuel and gasoline and combined with an existing project, the total production capacity would exceed 800 million gallons. The report also stated that P66 intends to use low CI feedstocks as well as soybean oil in the renewable fuel production. Based on Jacobsen assumptions, a fuel plant with a capacity of 800 million gallons would demand well over 6 billion pounds of feedstock per year. The P66 announcement adds to a rapidly growing list of major refiners with renewable projects underway, or already completed.
