ExxonMobil Reports Progress on Edmonton Renewable Diesel Facility

August 23, 2023--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Having begun construction on a renewable diesel add-on to its Strathcona refinery in Edmonton, Alberta, Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) (Irving, Texas) reports that progress is well under way. The company's majority-owned affiliate, Imperial Oil Ltd (Calgary, Alberta), is funding and overseeing the project. Completion is expected in early 2025, at which time the plant is expected to produce 20,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of renewable diesel, enough to supply about 500,000 vehicles per day. It will do so using low-carbon hydrogen in a mix with locally-sourced plant-based feedstocks.
