California-based sustainable fuel producer World Energy has received the necessary permits to renovate its Los Angeles-area refinery—the first in North America to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at a commercial scale starting in 2016. The $2 billion project will see the former Paramount oil refinery facility fully converted to sustainable fuel production.
