An explosion and fire at Chevron’s refinery in El Segundo, California, could impact the merchant carbon dioxide market in the state, with an on-site CO2 plant now offline.

Reports of an explosion at the multinational oil company’s site emerged on Thursday night, with Reuters confirming the blaze was contained to one section of the refinery.

The El Segundo refinery, built in 1911, produces 290,000 barrels of crude oil a day. Its main products are transportation fuels, including gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel, according to Chevron’s website.

gasworld understands that a 600-tonne-per-day CO₂ plant, operated by industrial gas major Linde, is located at the refinery and is now offline due to the incident.
