The project has been cancelled due to permitting uncertainties that were leading to delays and higher costs. Originally announced in fall 2018, this 250 million gallon per year project would have resulted in the largest renewable diesel refinery on the West Coast of USA.

Statements
Robert Herman (Phillips 66 executive vice president of Refining): “Phillips 66 continues to progress its portfolio of renewable diesel projects and evaluate new opportunities to provide consumers with renewable fuels that comply with low-carbon fuel standards.”
Cynthia “CJ” Warner (Renewable Energy Group CEO): “Although we are disappointed in this result, REG is undeterred and continues to develop numerous opportunities to grow our renewable diesel production.”
