Imperial is moving forward with plans to construct a major renewable diesel complex at its Strathcona refinery near Edmonton, Alberta—the largest refinery in western Canada. This new complex is expected to produce more than 1 billion liters (260 million gallons US) per year of renewable diesel from locally sourced and grown feedstocks. Strathcona refinery The project is expected to realize about 3 million tonnes per year in emissions reductions in the Canadian transportation sector. Renewable diesel production will source blue hydrogen (hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional hydrogen production. Approximately 500,000 tonnes of CO 2 are expected to be captured annually. The blue hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a proprietary catalyst to produce premium low-carbon diesel fuel. Imperial is currently in partnership discussions with government and industry, including the Government of Alberta, as well as […]
