Renewable Fuels
Wind exclusive rights to 267,000 acres near the refinery . Securing the land for our joint project is a significant milestone toward realizing Braya ’ s vision to become a world leader in renewable fuels production . We look forward to working with ABO Wind to add green hydrogen to our portfolio . It is a high CapEx project that will bring a lot of incremental jobs to the province and again has the ancillary benefit of providing us with the green hydrogen we need to produce both renewable diesel and SAF . While we currently produce our own hydrogen , green hydrogen generated from wind would effectively be a replacement for that ,” Todd elaborates .
In establishing Braya as the world ’ s premier renewable fuels producer , the company considers its team to be its greatest asset . Proud to provide safe and sustainable jobs that contribute to the clean energy transition , Todd shares details of the
project ’ s impact on the local community . “ During the project ’ s construction and commissioning phases , we were employing roughly 800 people on site . Even today , we have approximately 240 full-time employees working at the site , alongside third-party contractors . When the refinery was shut down by its previous owner , everyone was laid off
and those people lost the ability to support their families . It has been phenomenal to reintroduce those high paying jobs , and the stability of long-term employment . There are at least a couple of families where we have three , if not four generations , working at the refinery at the same time .”
Strategic markets
Braya ’ s largest market is currently California in the US . “ This region ,” Todd continues , “ established a low carbon fuel standard very early relative to pretty much anywhere else
