ExxonMobil’s Imperial Oil plans Canadian renewable diesel project

摘要

ExxonMobil is moving further into the renewable fuels space after its Canadian affiliate Imperial Oil advanced plans to build a 20,000 b/d renewable diesel complex on the site of its existing 200,000 b/d Strathcona refinery in Edmonton, Alberta. The Aug. 25 announcement of the project precedes Canada’s Clean Air Fuel Standard, which goes in effect in 2022 and requires refiners and other obligated parties to reduce in annual increments carbon intensity levels in liquid transportation fuels from 2016 levels.
