The conversion of Martinez Refinery into a renewable fuels facility from the processing of crude oil to the processing of renewable feedstocks. The renewable feedstocks are expected to include biological based oils (i.e. soybean oil and corn oil), rendered fats, and other miscellaneous renewable feedstocks including used cooking oils or other vegetable oils. The feedstocks… Continue reading Martinez Renewables | Martinez Refinery Conversion
The Heartland Greenway Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project is expected to provide the infrastructure and network to connect industrial emitters of CO2 to new and developing markets for their carbon, while ensuring project developers have access to a CO2 supply. In May 2023, Navigator CO2 entered into an MoU with Infinium to deliver 600,000 tons… Continue reading Heartland Greenway Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Project
The SAFuelsX Sustainable Aviation project is a biofuels production facility with a nameplate production of 100 million gallons per year or approximately 6,500 barrels per day. Using soybean oil and/or canola oil as primary feedstocks, these vegetable oils will be converted into fuels as direct replacements for the fuels we use today. The products will… Continue reading SAFuels X Renewable Fuels Facility

SkyNRG’s first SAF production facility in the U.S. The goal is to produce 30 million gallons (90,000 tonnes) per year by 2027, from sources such as renewable natural gas (RNG) and green hydrogen. The facility would be located in the Pacific Northwest region of the US. The project is supported by The Boeing Company and other… Continue reading SkyNRG Pacific Northwest Project – PNW
Gevo’s Net-Zero Project transforms renewable energy into energy-dense liquids. It is located on 240 acres of land near Lake Preston, South Dakota. The site is attractive because of its abundant sustainable corn supply, high-protein feed demand, rail transportation, and renewable energy potential. The name Net-Zero 1 is a reference to the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions… Continue reading Gevo | Lake Preston Biofuels Project | Net-Zero 1
The conversion of Phillips 66’s San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, into a renewable fuels facility. The plant would no longer produce fuels from crude oil, but instead would make fuels from used cooking oil, fats, greases and soybean oils. In June 2024, Phillips 66 said the facility reached its output rate target. In August… Continue reading Phillips 66 | Rodeo Renewed
LanzaJet’s alcohol-to-jet SAF commercial production facility in Soperton, Georgia. The plant is slated to produce 10 million gallons of SAF and renewable diesel per year using a range of sustainable, low-carbon intensity ethanol, including from waste-based feedstocks.
