Phillips 66 has reached full production rates of renewable fuel at the now fully converted Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex.
The Rodeo complex in the San Francisco Bay Area increased production rates to about 50,000 b/d (800 million gal/year), reaching the company’s target of achieving full capacity by this year’s second quarter.
Announced in 2020, Rodeo Renewed is designed to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), among other products. In addition to supplying California markets, the complex is providing renewable diesel in other areas along the West Coast.
The Rodeo complex includes new pre-treatment units that process lower carbon intensity feedstocks, such as used cooking oil, fats, greases and vegetable oil. It began producing about 30,000 b/d of renewable fuel at the end of this year’s first quarter (OGJ Online, Apr. 2, 2024). |
