CVR Energy chooses Haldor Topsoe’s HydroFlex tech for $110M Oklahoma revamp

In Denmark, a CVR Energy, Inc.’s subsidiary has selected Haldor Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology for its revamp of the Oklahoma refinery to renewable diesel production. Construction has already begun on the $110 million project that will see 100 million gallons of renewable diesel production annually starting from July 2021. The project will convert an existing hydrocracker for the production of low-carbon renewable diesel from soybean oil, resulting in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to hydrocarbon diesel. The renewable diesel is expected to meet the ASTM D975 diesel specification and qualify for programs such as the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
