The Valero Benicia Refinery, capable of processing 170,000 barrels of oil daily, is set to close by April 2026 due to high costs and environmental regulations. City leaders in Benicia are forming task forces to mitigate the economic impact, as the community faces a projected budget shortfall of $10-12 million. Efforts will focus on ways to redevelop the 400 acres of refinery property potentially for housing. Concerns also arise about the impact on local military operations due to fuel shortages.
My main job is to ease that transition as much as we can.
The threat of no jet fuel for Travis potentially puts the future of the whole base at risk.
