The Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

Spring officially sprung last week. Our teams have already been working with Friends of the Mississippi River on our habitat sites at the Pine Bend refinery and Cottage Grove terminal for another successful season of land restoration. Last night a group of employees got together to assemble new homes for the hundreds of bluebirds in the area. We can’t wait to see the iconic blue eggs and baby birds soon! 🪺

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.
