Phillips 66: converting cooking oil into low carbon fuel

30 May 2025

As the first refinery in the UK to convert waste oil into road fuel, the Phillips 66 Humber refinery has also recently introduced a new processing unit to convert used cooking oil (UCO) into low carbon fuel. Standing at 50 feet tall, the UCO module will increase Humber’s renewable diesel capacity to 3,000 barrels per day, tripling original capability. Humber already ranks among the most complex and sophisticated refineries in Europe, but plans are underway to further expand capacity to 5,000 barrels per day by 2024.
