HOUSTON, Jan. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR) (“Par Pacific”) today announced its Washington and Wyoming refineries have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) ENERGY STAR certification. The certification indicates these industrial plants perform in the top 25% of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency and meet strict energy efficiency performance levels set by the EPA. This is the first ENERGY STAR certification for both facilities.
“We are proud of our Washington and Wyoming refining teams’ achievement in earning EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification,” said Will Monteleone, President. “The certification highlights our ongoing focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint across our facilities.”
To earn the ENERGY STAR, the facilities showed commitment to replace and refurbish inefficient energy infrastructure and review new technologies that can help reduce energy consumption. In addition, Par Pacific’s Washington refinery has achieved the lowest carbon emission intensity as measured by Solomon Energy Intensity Index study of all worldwide refineries. The study shows consistent commitment to investing in energy efficiency projects and building a business around a lower carbon emission product slate.
ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. For more information about ENERGY STAR Certification for Industrial Facilities: energystar.gov/plants
