In Texas, Par Pacific Holdings, and ENEOS Corporation (ENEOS) announced the signing of definitive agreements to establish Hawaii Renewables, a joint venture to produce renewable fuels at Par Pacific’s refinery in Kapolei Hawaii.
Mitsubishi and ENEOS will form Alohi Renewable Energy, LLC, which will acquire a 36.5% equity stake in Hawaii Renewables in exchange for cash consideration of $100 million. Par Pacific will retain the remaining interest and lead the project’s execution and operations through its affiliate, Par Hawaii Refining, LLC.
Once fully operational, Hawaii Renewables will be the state’s largest renewable fuels manufacturing facility and is expected to produce approximately 61 million gallons per year of renewable diesel (RD), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable naphtha and low carbon liquified petroleum gases.
The facility is designed to produce up to 60% SAF as a first step toward decarbonizing Hawaii’s significant air travel market, with flexibility to process diverse feedstocks and shift yields to RD based on market conditions, the firms said.
