TheMarathon Petroleum Corp.renewable fuels facility in Stark County, North Dakota, is getting a new addition that will increase the value of the renewable diesel produced there.
Marathon Dickinson Renewable Fuels Facility is the second-largest renewable diesel refinery in the nation and it’s teaming up with industrial wind power companyOne Energy Enterprises LLC.
One Energy is putting up the capital and installing five 2.3-megawatt wind turbines onsite. They will provide up to 45% of the Marathon Petroleum facility’s electricity for a 20-year commitment.
In addition to creating better efficiency for the facility, the wind energy component lessens the carbon intensity of the end-product, the renewable diesel; giving it greater value in export markets with lower carbon fuel standards.
