The approval is the company’s latest permitting milestone. NXTClean Fuels received state approvals for its removal fill permit and air permit in 2022, and local land use permits in 2024.
NXTClean Fuels is proposing a $2.5 billion clean fuels production facility that will produce up to 50,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. The facility will be strategically located at Port Westward with multi-modal delivery advantages to both international and domestic markets for feedstocks and finished products. Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are chemically identical to their fossil-based counterparts but are up to 85 percent cleaner.
