Portfolio

Along with Martinez Renewables, we have several other renewable fuels investments, which are outlined below.

We are committed to reducing the carbon intensity of the fuels we manufacture, and renewable fuels are helping us achieve this goal.

Project: Converted petroleum refinery into renewable diesel facility
Location: Dickinson, North Dakota
Fuel: Renewable diesel and naphtha
Capacity: Approximately 184 million gallons per year
Timeline: Became fully operational in 2021 as the second largest facility of its kind in the United States

DIckinson Renewable Diesel Facility

Project: Converted biodiesel plant into a pretreatment facility
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Fuel: Supplies agricultural feedstocks to our Dickinson Renewable Diesel Facility
Timeline: Purchased as a biodiesel facility in 2014 and began operations as a pretreatment facility in early 2022

Cincinnati Renewable Fuels and Biodiesel Facility

Project: Purchased in 2020 to operate as a terminal and pretreatment center for agricultural feedstocks
Location: Beatrice, Nebraska
Fuel: Handles agricultural feedstocks for transport to Dickinson renewable diesel facility
Capacity: Approximately 58 million gallons per year
Timeline: The facility began operations in early 2021

Beatrice Pretreatment Facility

Project: Built the first dedicated soybean processing plant in North Dakota
Location: Spiritwood, North Dakota
Ownership: Joint venture with ADM
Fuel: Supplies refined soybean oil to MPC as feedstock for renewable diesel production.
Capacity: Approximately 600 million pounds per year to support annual production of a targeted 75 million gallons of renewable diesel
Timeline: Construction broke ground in June 2022, and the facility came online in the fall of 2023

Green Bison Soy Processing

Project: A joint venture with The Andersons to produce ethanol
Locations: Albion, Michigan; Clymers, Indiana; Greenville, Ohio; and Denison, Iowa
Fuel: Ethanol biofuel
Capacity: Approximately 475 million gallons per year
Timeline: Joint venture effective Oct. 1, 2019, strengthened and extended the companies’ long-time partnership

Andersons

Project: Acquired a 49.9% interest in LF Bioenergy, an emerging producer of renewable natural gas (RNG)
Locations: Developing a portfolio of RNG production facilities on U.S. dairy farms, including the first facility in Lawrence, New York, that began operating in 2023
Fuel: Renewable natural gas
Capacity: Planned portfolio’s production capacity has the potential to reach over 6,500 MMBtu per day by the end of 2026
Timeline: Interest acquisition announced in March 2023 as part of an agreement that included the potential for additional investment

Virent Inc.

Project: Converting Martinez Refinery into a renewable fuels facility
Location: Martinez, California
Fuels: Renewable diesel and other renewable fuels
Capacity: Approximately 730 million gallons per year
Timeline: Began operations in 2023 at an initial, partial production capacity with a ramp up to full capacity expected by end of 2024

Martinez Refinery

Credits generated under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) are creating demand for renewable fuels – produced from such renewable feedstocks as corn oil, soybean oil and animal fats. The demand for renewable fuels is already high and is expected to continue growing based on the current credit systems as well as additional credit systems that are under consideration in other states and countries.
MPC is pursuing a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity from 2014 levels by 2030. Progress toward this goal prompted us to extend the target to a 38% reduction from 2014 levels by 2035.”
