Exxon Mobil and Chevron looking for cheap solutions to produce RD and SAF

August 12, 2021 |

In Texas, Reuters reports that Exxon Mobil and Chevron are looking to jump on the renewable diesel bandwagon but want to do it in a way that doesn’t require expensive upgrades to their existing facilities. They want to both produce RD but also Sustainable Aviation Fuel from vegetable oils but are against major capital expenses to do so. Exxon is said to have gone so far as to create a task force with ASTM to look at how to go about it while Chevron has confirmed it wants to co-process biobased feedstocks in its fluid catalytic crackers.
