Key Takeaways:

  • Phillips 66 is converting its Rodeo, California refinery into a renewable fuels facility, set to begin production in early 2024.
  • The converted plant will refine raw materials such as used cooking oil and fats into renewable diesel, gasoline, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
  • Expected to be the world’s largest facility of its kind, it will produce over 800 million gallons of renewable fuels annually and create hundreds of new green and construction jobs.

When renewable fuel production begins in early 2024 at the renewed Phillips 66 refinery in Rodeo, California, near San Francisco, it will be impossible to find a drop of crude oil, or conventional gasoline or diesel products at the site. Instead, raw materials such as used cooking oil, fats, greases, and soybean oils will be refined to produce renewable diesel and gasoline, and sustainable jet fuel (SAF).
