据美国钻井网站2023年1月27日报道，美国超级石油巨头埃克森美孚公司将投资大约5.6亿美元，推进加拿大最大的可再生柴油生产设施建设。
埃克森美孚公司表示，投资将由其控股的子公司帝国石油公司进行。这个项目位于帝国石油公司的斯特拉斯科纳炼油厂，预计每天可生产2万桶可再生柴油，主要原料来自当地。
根据加拿大的清洁燃料法规，这个项目可以帮助加拿大运输部门每年减少约300万吨的温室气体排放。这个设施是埃克森美孚公司到2027年投资大约170亿美元用于低排放计划的一部分。
埃克森美孚公司产品解决方案总裁Karen McKee表示：“斯特拉斯科纳项目是我们投资优势设施、应用我们领先的技术和数十年的经验为客户开发低排放解决方案的又一个例子。”“我们将继续把投资重点放在加拿大等市场上，在那里，精心设计的政策支持减少生命周期内碳排放量的技术。”
帝国石油公司的可再生柴油设施将使用碳捕获和存储技术生产的低碳氢，以帮助加拿大达到低排放燃料标准。帝国石油公司已经与空气产品公司签订了低碳氢供应协议，并正在与其他第三方签订生物原料供应协议。
低碳氢和生物原料将与专有催化剂结合，生产优质低排放柴油燃料，与传统燃料相比，将有助于减少运输部门的温室气体排放。
埃克森美孚公司补充说，现场准备和初步建设已经在进行中。预计将于2025年开始生产可再生柴油。这个项目预计将直接创造约600个建筑工作岗位，同时通过商业伙伴的投资再创造数百个工作岗位。

Exxon Building Largest Renewable Diesel Plant In Canada
US supermajor ExxonMobil will invest about $560 million to move forward with the construction of the largest renewable diesel facility in Canada.
Exxon said that the investment will be made by its majority-owned affiliate Imperial Oil. The project at Imperial’s Strathcona refinery is expected to produce 20,000 barrels of renewable diesel per day primarily from locally sourced feedstocks.
According to the company, it could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Canadian transportation sector by about 3 million metric tons per year, as determined in accordance with Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulation. The facility is a part of the corporation’s plans through 2027 to invest approximately $17 billion in lower-emission initiatives.
“The Strathcona project is another example of how we are investing in advantaged facilities and applying our leading technology and decades of experience to develop lower-emission solutions for customers,” said Karen McKee, president of ExxonMobil Product Solutions. “We continue to focus investments on markets like Canada, where well-designed policies support technologies that reduce life-cycle emissions.”
Imperial’s renewable diesel facility will use low-carbon hydrogen produced with carbon capture and storage technology to help Canada meet low emission fuel standards. Imperial has entered into an agreement with Air Products for low-carbon hydrogen supply and is developing agreements with other third parties for biofeedstock supply.
The low-carbon hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a proprietary catalyst to produce premium lower-emission diesel fuel and will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, relative to conventional fuels.
Exxon added that site preparation and initial construction was already underway. Renewable diesel production is expected to start in 2025. The project is expected to create about 600 direct construction jobs, along with hundreds more through investments by business partners.
