Rodeo SAF Project Reaches Goal

OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Phillips 66 today announced the full conversion of the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex, expanding commercial-scale production. The Rodeo facility in the San Francisco Bay Area increased rates to approximately 50,000 barrels per day (bpd), reaching the company's goal of achieving full capacity by the second quarter of the year.

The announcement also marks a significant step in Phillips 66's commitment to play a meaningful role in the energy transition and provide customers with lower-carbon solutions.

Announced in 2020, Rodeo Renewed is designed to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, among other products. In addition to supplying California markets, the complex is providing renewable diesel to 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 approximately 30,000 bpd of renewable fuel at the end of the first quarter 2024.

"Phillips 66 has reached another important milestone, which is a testament to our employees' dedication to achieving our company's strategic priorities," said Rich Harbison, Phillips 66 executive vice president of Refining. "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."
