Title

Martinez Refinery Renewable Fuels Project Final Revised EIR

Description

The proposed Project would repurpose the Refinery for production of fuels from renewable sources rather than from crude oil. Some existing Refinery equipment would be altered or replaced, and additional new equipment units and tanks would be installed, to facilitate production of fuels from renewable feedstock. Crude oil processing equipment that cannot be repurposed for processing of renewable feedstock would be shut down and removed from the Refinery based on an event-based decommissioning plan. Upon completion of facility changes, the Refinery is anticipated to process approximately 48,000 bpd of fresh renewable feeds and would produce renewable diesel fuel, renewable propane, renewable naphtha, and potentially, renewable aviation fuel. Initially, product from the Refinery would be distributed by truck to the Bay Area as well as Central and Northern California. Future regulatory changes may allow the facility to utilize existing petroleum-based product pipelines. Product would also be transported to destinations outside of the Bay Area by ship via the Avon MOT and Amorco MOT, located approximately 0.5 mile north of the Refinery and approximately 2.5 miles west of the Refinery, respectively. Both terminals would undergo modifications to facilitate receipt of renewable feedstocks and distribution of renewable fuels associated with the proposed Project. Refined petroleum products would continue to be received, stored and distributed through the Project Site but would not be further processed at the facility.
