April 3, 2024--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--U.S. refiner Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) (Houston, Texas) said it completed what it considered a major milestone in the conversion of a refinery in California to produce as much as 30,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel.

The refiner said its Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex in San Francisco was converted to process only renewable feedstocks to yield so-called renewable diesel. The company said production would eventually ramp up to about 50,000 barrels per day, a level the company said would establish it as a leader in renewable fuels.
