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 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
An Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power generating facility located on a 315-acre site in the oil-producing area of Elk Hills approximately 2 miles northwest of the unincorporated community of Tupman in western Kern County, California. The project would gasify petroleum coke to produce hydrogen to fuel a combustion turbine operating in combined cycle mode. The gasification… Continue reading Hydrogen Energy California
A potential negative carbon project located in Central Valley, California, seeks to capture CO2 from an ethanol fuel source and store it at a rate of 0.32 Mtpa in a to-be-determined location and a potential 2025 start. A previous feasibility study conducted in 2016 by CES successfully utilized biofuel to power turbines and capture more… Continue reading Clean Energy Systems Carbon Negative Energy Plant – Central Valley
The Mendota Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage Project would deliver produced electricity to the California grid while capturing CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere. The revitalized biomass plant gasifies waste biomass fuels to produce a synthesis gas. This “syngas” is used by Clean Energy Systems’ (CES’) proprietary oxy-combustion technology to produce electricity while… Continue reading Mendota Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage Project
In May 2023, California Resources Corporation (CRC) applied for a Class VI permit for 34 million metric tons (MMT) of permanent carbon dioxide (CO2) storage for Carbon TerraVault (CTV) IV, bringing CTV’s total potential permitted storage to date to 174 MMT.us
Two Carbon TerraVault carbon capture and storage (CCS) vaults – CTV II and III – in the Sacramento basin, in California, for a total of 94 million metric tons of potential permanent CO2 storage. In January 2023, CRC entered into a Carbon Dioxide Management Agreement (CDMA) with independent clean-tech company Grannus, LLC. The Grannus Blue Ammonia… Continue reading Carbon TerraVault II & III — CTV II & CTV III
Two permanent carbon capture and storage vaults at the Elk Hills Field in Kern County, collectively referred to as Carbon TerraVault I (CTV I). These vaults would have the ability to permanently store CO2 from industrial sources in deep, depleted underground reservoirs. With a total estimated capacity of up to 46 million MT of storage, CTV… Continue reading Carbon TerraVault I — CTV I
A new renewable gasoline production facility at California Resources Corporation’s Net Zero Industrial Park in Kern County, California. CRC has entered into a Carbon Dioxide Management Agreement between Carbon TerraVault JV HoldCo, LLC and Verde Clean Fuels Inc. CTV JV initially plans to sequester a minimum of 100,000 MT per year of CO2 from Verde’s… Continue reading Verde | Bakersfield Renewable Gasoline Production Facility
