Strathcona renewable diesel project, Canada
Name of the Project
Strathcona renewable diesel project.
Location
Edmonton, Canada.
Project Owner/s
Imperial Oil, an affiliate of ExxonMobil.
Project Description
The Strathcona renewable diesel project is part of ExxonMobil’s plans to provide more than 40 000 bbl/d of low-emissions fuels by 2025.
The refinery is expected to produce about 20 000 bbl/d of renewable diesel, which could reduce emissions in the Canadian transportation sector by about three-million metric tons a year.
The renewable diesel production process will use blue hydrogen, which is produced from natural gas, with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The production of blue hydrogen has substantially reduced greenhouse-gas emissions, compared with those of conventionally produced hydrogen. About 500 000 t of carbon dioxide are expected to be captured each year using CCS.
The blue hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a proprietary catalyst to produce premium low-carbon diesel fuel.
Potential Job Creation
Imperial will lead the project, which is expected to create about 600 direct construction jobs.
Capital Expenditure
Not stated.
Planned Start/End Date
Renewable diesel production is expected to start in 2024.
Latest Developments
A final investment decision will be based on several factors, including government support and approvals, market conditions and economic competitiveness.
Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
None stated.
