Sun This Week

We’ve had a big week on the Pine Bend Bluffs. Last Saturday morning we hosted our annual fall clean up event and we celebrated our partnership with Friends of the Mississippi River being 25 years old! Over 125 volunteers and Flint Hills employees participated in a rewarding morning. Later in the week employees hit the bluffs for the annual seed collection. Seeds this year will be used next year for planting. 🌱

WHAT WE DO
The refinery produces most of Minnesota’s transportation fuels, including gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, as well as other products that people rely on such as propane and asphalt.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The Pine Bend refinery employs more than 1,000 people full-time and is considered Minnesota’s most active work site. In addition, hundreds of contractors are on site every day.
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
Since 2000, the refinery has reduced its traditional criteria emissions 70% while increasing production to meet demand. Pine Bend will soon get up to 70% of its power from on-site highly efficient energy sources.
