Canada-based Imperial Oil Ltd. on May 2 confirmed that construction on the renewable diesel facility at its Strathcona refinery near Edmonton, Alberta, will be complete during the second quarter. The project is expected to begin operations in mid-2025.
Imperial Oil in mid-2021 announced plans to construct a 20,000-barrel-per-day renewable diesel complex at its Strathcona refinery. The company made a final investment decision in January 2023, with construction beginning soon after. Once fully operational, the plant is expected to have the capacity to produce more than 1 billion liters (264.17 million gallons) of renewable diesel annually.
