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).
Phillips 66 Renews Commitment to Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Key Takeaways:
- Phillips 66 is converting its Rodeo, California refinery into a renewable fuel production facility, set to begin operations in early 2024.
- The plant will exclusively produce renewable diesel, gasoline, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from feedstocks like used cooking oil and fats, rather than crude oil.
- Upon completion, the Rodeo Renewed Project will be the world’s largest facility of its kind, aiming to produce over 800 million gallons of renewable fuels annually.
- This initiative is part of Phillips 66's sustainability efforts to meet growing demand for lower-carbon fuels and is expected to create hundreds of green and construction jobs.
