Ryze Renewables Partners with Phillips 66 to Build Next-Gen Renewable Diesel Fuel Plants in Nevada
Upon completion, the two plants will produce 11,000 barrels per day
(BPD) of renewable diesel fuel
Ryze Renewables announced today that construction is underway for two
renewable diesel production facilities in Nevada. 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.

When completed, the two Ryze Renewables facilities are expected to
produce a combined 11,000 barrels per day (BPD) of renewable diesel fuel
for Western U.S. and Canadian markets.
“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 (NYSE:
PSX), 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 (CI) score and
maximizes the low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credit from the California
Air Resources Board.
The first plant in Reno is expected to come online in mid-2019, while
the second facility in Las Vegas will become operational starting in
early 2020.
Construction of the two plants is expected to create more than 750
construction jobs, and once completed, will add more than 140 permanent
full-time positions in the Reno and Las Vegas areas.
