Rodeo Renewed
Being developed by Phillips 66, Rodeo Renewed projects aims to transform the existing Rodeo Refinery into a facility that converts renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, renewable components of other transportation fuels, and renewable fuel gas through the use of existing refinery process units.
The project has the potential to produce 680 million gallons of renewable diesel, renewable gasoline, and sustainable jet fuel annually. The plant will eventually produce more than 800 million gallons a year of renewable fuels, making it the world’s largest facility of its kind.
