The Marathon 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 company One 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.
