April 1 (Reuters) - Independent U.S. oil refiner

Phillips 66 said on Monday it is in the final stages of

converting an oil refinery in California into a renewable fuel

plant with a capacity of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) by the end

of the second quarter of 2024.

The Rodeo Renewed Project facility now processes only

renewable feedstocks, producing about 30,000 bpd of renewable

diesel, and is expected to start production of sustainable

aviation fuel in the second quarter, the refiner added.
