Parkland Corporation announced recently that it co-processed approximately 44 million liters of Canadian-sourced canola and tallow bio-feed stocks in 2020 and aims to increase this to up to 100 million liters in 2021.(Logo quoted ferom Parkland’s official website)

Parkland’s Burnaby Refinery was the first facility in Canada to use existing infrastructure and equipment to co-process bio-feed stocks such as canola oil, and oil derived from animal fats (tallow) alongside crude oil to produce low carbon fuels. The resulting co-processed low carbon fuels have less than one eighth of the carbon intensity of conventional fuels.

Underpinned by commitment to a lower carbon future, low capital investments and work completed during the Refinery turnaround in 2020, their co-processed approximately 44 million liters of Canadian-sourced canola and tallow bio-feed stocks in 2020, marking an almost 140 percent increase from 2019.

In 2021, their aim to co-process up to 100 million liters of bio-feed stocks and offer customers a variety of low carbon fuels, including an up to 15 percent renewable content diesel. The annual environmental benefit of producing our low carbon fuels in 2021 is expected to be the equivalent of taking over 80,000 passenger vehicles off the road.

Parkland look forward to partnering with government and industry to expand low carbon fuel capabilities and help position Canada and British Columbia to meet its low carbon commitments and become global leaders in low carbon technologies.
