Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex (formerly San Francisco Refinery - Rodeo)
Phillips 66 Company · Phillips 66 · Rodeo, CA
The plant no longer processes crude oil. The first crude unit was shut in October 2023 and the operator planned to shut the second by the end of February 2024. By 1 April 2024 the plant ran only renewable feedstocks and made about 30,000 b/d of renewable diesel. Phillips 66 reports full rates of about 50,000 b/d of renewable feedstock processing (about 800 million gallons a year) reached in the second quarter of 2024, and sustainable aviation fuel capability from the third quarter of 2024. Feedstocks are waste oils, fats, greases and vegetable oils. The county's determination allows up to 107,000 b/d of renewable and blended transportation fuels, including 67,000 b/d of renewable fuels, and the receipt, blending and shipment of up to 40,000 b/d of gasoline and gasoline blendstocks. About 12,000 b/d of renewable diesel was already running through the existing Unit 250 before the conversion.

Capability
This site isn’t in EIA’s latest refinery capacity survey — usually a sign it has closed, converted, or isn’t a fuels refinery.
Crude slate
None. The plant no longer processes crude oil. In 2019 it processed about 105,000 b/d of crude oil and gas oil, about 70,000 b/d arriving by Line 200 from the Santa Maria site and 35,000 b/d over the marine terminal. The county's 2021 draft environmental impact report allowed crude and gas oil deliveries over the marine terminal to peak at up to 85,000 b/d (12-month rolling average) during the transition, above the air district Title V limit of 51,182 b/d. Both crude routes ended with the conversion.
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| products out | marine | Phillips 66 Rodeo Marine Terminal (San Pablo Bay) The plant's own wharf ships renewable fuels and surplus treated feedstock. It receives renewable feedstocks (vegetable oil, tallow, soybean oil, used cooking oil) and gasoline and gasoline blendstocks. The State Lands Commission amended the wharf lease on 17 August 2023 to allow renewable fuels and feedstocks; crude and gas oil receipts ended with the conversion. |

| products out | rail | Rodeo rail rack (Union Pacific) The Union Pacific mainline runs through the site along the shoreline. The 2021 draft environmental impact report says the butane rail loading rack beside the marine terminal is converted to receive renewable feedstock, up to 16 railcars a day. The documents describe rail as an inbound feedstock route and do not describe renewable diesel leaving by rail. |

| products out | pipeline | Phillips 66-owned products pipeline to NuStar Selby Terminal Trade press (Argus) describes 'a products pipeline that connects Rodeo to a Phillips 66 marine and truck rack terminal on the San Francisco Bay, just south of Chevron's ... Richmond refinery' -- this location matches the NuStar Selby Terminal (formerly a Phillips 66/ConocoPhillips asset), directly supporting the graph's NuStar Selby Terminal edge. |

| products out | pipeline | Kinder Morgan SFPP (Concord / Richmond gathering) Kinder Morgan's March 2025 Pacific Operations brochure draws 'P66 Rodeo (Renewables)' as an origin with one line into Concord Station and one onto the line into Richmond Station. Concord is the origin of the North, San Jose and Fresno lines; Richmond is the origin of the Bay Area lines. The diagram does not list products for the connection; the products shown here are the plant's output. |

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
