In December 2022, the Sierra BioFuels Plant achieved a significant achievement with the production of synthetic crude oil from landfill waste. This synthetic crude oil is shipped to a Marathon Petroleum refinery where it is immediately converted into clean, transportation fuels. Located outside of Reno, Nevada, Sierra will produce approximately 11 million gallons of renewable, low-carbon transportation fuels each year from approximately 175,000 tons of landfill waste - all while helping reduce the disposal of waste into the local landfill and creating clean energy jobs.
