GREENER FUTURE: Shell executive balances two energy worlds
Shell isn’t the only energy company with Houston ties getting into renewable diesel.
Houston’s Phillips 66 last November announced it would partnering with Renewable Energy Group Inc. to build a large scale renewable diesel plant next to its existing oil refinery in Ferndale, Wash. Phillips 66 also is teaming up with California-based Ryze Renewables to build two diesel plants in Nevada.
Renewable diesel is an alternative fuel that is chemically similar to petroleum diesel and nearly identical in its performance characteristics. Compared to biodiesel, renewable diesel can be blended into petroleum diesel at higher blend levels.
The West Coast projects will likely aim to satisfy California’s demand for cleaner diesel that fits into the state’s low carbon fuel standard program that went into effect in 2011. According to the Energy Department, renewable diesel accounted for 10 percent of the total diesel supplied to California in the second quarter of 2018.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
