Marathon Petroleum implements Topsoe technology at Martinez Renewables facility

The Martinez Renewable Fuels Facility is currently operating with a capacity of 260 million gal./yr. Additional production capacity is expected to be online by the end of 2023, bringing the total capacity to approximately 730 million gal./yr of renewable fuels.

The continued partnership between Topsoe and Marathon builds upon the successful operation at Marathon’s Dickinson facility in North Dakota, US, which also uses Topsoe’s HydroFlex^TM renewable fuels technology and achieved design capacity in the 2Q21.

Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director, The Americas, Topsoe, said: “We are very pleased to continue our close collaboration with Marathon to bring even more renewable fuels to the American market. It’s a pleasure working with Marathon on these successful projects.”

Jeff Sexton, Refining Technology Director at Marathon, said: “As we continue to challenge ourselves to lead in sustainable energy, our renewable fuels production facilities in Dickinson and Martinez have been important contributors. The ramp-up of our first phase of production capacity at Martinez has been successful, and we look forward to bringing the facility up to full production capacity by the end of this year.”
