据安迅斯能源3月3日消息称，据路透社报道，Neste公司已与美国马拉松石油公司签署最终协议，双方各出资50%成立合资公司。

该合资公司将在马拉松公司位于加州马丁内斯的炼油厂的一个转换项目(马丁内斯可再生燃料项目)之后生产可再生柴油。合资企业的关闭须经惯常的关闭条件和监管部门的批准，包括获得必要的许可证，这取决于最终的环境影响报告的认证。

Neste的总投资约为900亿欧元(美元B)，包括项目完成前预计的项目开发总成本的一半。该项目预计将增加Neste的可再生产品产能略高于100万吨/年。可再生柴油的生产预计将在2022年下半年投入使用。该工厂计划在2023年底前达到210万吨的年生产能力。

Neste 总裁兼首席执行官 Peter Vanacker 说：“这是我们可再生能源增长战略执行中非常重要的一步。该工厂位于加州不断增长的可再生燃料市场中间。该合作伙伴关系将进一步加强我们在美国的足迹，因为我们将拥有涵盖原料采购到美国可再生能源生产和销售的广泛价值链。我们很高兴能与马拉松合作:我们都有提供更高质量、更低排放的可再生产品的雄心，从而帮助客户实现他们的可持续发展目标。”

Neste and Marathon Petroleum to establish JV for production of renewable fuels

Neste Corporation has signed definitive agreements for the establishment of a 50/50 JV with US-based Marathon Petroleum, reported Reuters.

The JV will produce renewable diesel following a conversion project of Marathon's refinery in Martinez, California (the Martinez Renewable Fuels project). The closing of the JV is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including obtaining the necessary permits, which depend upon certification of a final Environmental Impact Report.

Neste’s total investment will amount to approximately EUR900 MM (USD1 B), inclusive of half of the total project development costs projected through the completion of the project. The project is expected to increase Neste’s renewable products capacity by slightly over 1 MMtpy. Production of renewable diesel is expected to come online in the second half of 2022. The facility is planned to reach its full annual nameplate capacity of 2.1 MMt by the end of 2023.

“This is a very important step in our renewables growth strategy execution. The location of the facility is in the middle of the growing renewable fuel market in California. The partnership will further strengthen our footprint in the US, as we will have a broad value chain that covers feedstock sourcing to renewables production and sales in the US. We are thrilled to partner with Marathon: we both share an ambition in offering more high-quality, lower-emission renewable products, thus helping customers to achieve their sustainability goals,” said Peter Vanacker, Neste’s President and CEO.
