Phillips 66’s Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex has completed full conversion and reached full production capacity of 50,000 bbl/d—equivalent to about 800 million gallons per year—prior to the end of second quarter 2024.
The Rodeo complex will now produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), among other products, Phillips 66 said June 26 in a press release.
In addition to supplying California markets, the complex will provide renewable diesel to other areas along the West Coast, Phillips 66 said.
The announcement marks a significant step in Phillips 66’s commitment to playing a meaningful role in the energy transition and provide customers with lower-carbon solutions.
“The facility running at full capacity supports the growing demand for renewable fuels, lowers our carbon footprint and creates long-term value for our shareholders,” Rich Harbison, Phillips 66 executive vice president of refining, said in the release.
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 approximately 30,000 bbl/d of renewable fuel at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
