Canadian renewable diesel producer Braya Renewable Fuels has completed its first sale of renewable diesel into the domestic market.
The sale of 100,000 barrels of renewable diesel from Braya’s Come by Chance refinery, in the Canadian state of Newfoundland and Labrador – with additional deliveries possible in the future – marked a positive expansion in its customer base, the company said on 15 June.
“The expansion of our customer base into the Canadian energy market is the realisation of a goal that we set out to achieve when we began our commercial operations two years ago,” said Todd O’Malley, CEO at Braya.
The company said its participation in the Canadian market had been enabled by government programmes to address developing competitive shifts in global renewable fuel markets.
Braya converted the Come by Chance facility from an oil refinery into a renewable fuels production facility.
The plant started production in February 2024 with an initial capacity of 18,000 barrels/day of renewable diesel.
Braya completed a retrofit to a portion of the refinery to process feedstocks, which included soyabean oil and corn oil.
The company said it planned to expand production capacity, add sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and explore green hydrogen production.
