Ryze Renewables Builds Reno-Las Vegas, Nevada Renewable Diesel Fuel Production Plants
08/29/2018
According to company officials, once operational these plants will manufacture high-cetane renewable diesel fuel from agricultural oils and animal fats, using a patented hydrogenation technology that is more efficient than current conversion processes.The two Ryze Renewables facilities are expected to produce a combined 11,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel fuel for Western U.S. and Canadian markets. Once completed the plants are expected to will more than 140 permanent full-time jobs in the Reno and Las Vegas areas.
“We are excited to be building the next generation of renewable fuel plants,” said Matt Pearson, Ryze Renewables Managing Director. “The output of these facilities will help businesses and motorists achieve the ever-increasing demand for renewable fuels on the West Coast.”
For this project, Ryze Renewables has partnered with Phillips 66, an energy manufacturing and logistics company. Through a long-term supply and offtake agreement, Phillips 66 will supply both plants with feedstock and move 100 percent of the renewable product from the plants to customers in West Coast markets.
“These innovative Nevada plants are strategically located to provide our western customers with an efficient, reliable source of renewable diesel fuels,” said Brian Mandell, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Commercial, Phillips 66.
Renewable diesel fuel is a “drop-in” fuel that does not need to be blended with traditional diesel like current biodiesels. Additionally, producing renewable diesel has lower overall emissions than other biofuels, which translates to a low carbon intensity score and maximizes the low-carbon fuel standard credit from the California Air Resources Board.
