It processes ANS (Alaskan North Slope), Middle Eastern and West African crudes and supplies 25% of the Los Angeles gasoline demand. The refinery supplies approximately 20% of the Southern California gasoline market and 50% of the jet fuel to the LAX Airport. The closing is expected to happen before mid-2013. million gallons/day.

Higher blends of renewable fuel offer potential for increasing the use of renewable fuels in the US gasoline pool, but currently, the typical gas pump can deliver fuel containing a maximum of 10% ethanol. States that are able to provide greater than a one-to-one ratio in funding will receive higher consideration.

Production of bio-based jet and diesel is expected to begin in 2013 and production of bio-based gasoline, part of the C 3 product platform, will follow in 2015. The grant allows ZeaChem to use our existing integrated demonstration facility to develop advanced biofuels beyond cellulosic ethanol, including bio-based jet, diesel and gasoline.

Mr. Kulongoski wants to make Oregon the go-to state for electric vehicle production. In a flurry of electric vehicle activity, three back-to-back announcements this week have placed a spotlight on Oregon’s plans to be the friendliest state in the nation in which to build, sell and buy electric cars.

BYD has also begun selling a plug-in electric car with a backup gasoline engine, a move putting it ahead of GM, Nissan, and Toyota. Near the end of our conversation, I ask Wang about the company name. They generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cars that burn gasoline, and they have lower fuel costs, even when oil is cheap.
