Phillips 66, Ryze Renewables to Build Renewable Fuel Plants
Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) has teamed up with Ryze Renewables to construct twin renewable diesel fuel facilities in Nevada.
The construction of the plants is underway. Once the plants are commissioned, they will utilize agricultural oils and animal fats to produce high-cetane renewable diesel fuel. A patented hydrogenation technology that is more competent compared with the current conversion processes will be used.
On completion, the two Ryze Renewables facilities are anticipated to yield a combined 11,000 barrels per day (BPD) of renewable diesel fuel. This fuel will be transported to themarkets in the Western U.S. and Canada.
Per the long-term supply and offtake agreement between the parties, Phillips 66 will provide feedstock to the plants and transfer 100% of the renewable products to consumers in West Coast markets.
Renewable diesel fuel is not required to be mixed with traditional diesel like current biodiesels. Moreover, production of renewable diesel emits lower overall emissions compared with other biofuels, which corresponds to a low-carbon intensity (CI) score and optimizes the low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credit from the California Air Resources Board.
The first plant in Reno is anticipated to be brought online in mid-2019. The other facility in Las Vegas will be commissioned in early 2020.
The construction of these two plants is estimated to create employment for more than 750 personnel. Post completion, the plants will add more than 140 permanent jobs in the Reno and Las Vegas areas.
With increasing agitation related to emissions by the energy companies, the oil giants are trying to diversify into other renewable sources of power.
Concerns about climate change and extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires and droughts are high. According to scientists, these calamities are a result of global warming. These factors are propelling the companies to add low-carbon products and services to their businesses. Phillips 66’s partnership in these projects emphasizes its commitment towards shareholder value creation.

In the past year, Phillips 66’s shares have surged 43.5% compared with the industry’s 54% rise.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6% and +67.1%.
