Information
The Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend refinery in Rosemount is a landmark like no other in Minnesota . The tall columns , bright lights at night , and steam clouds on cold winter days can be seen from miles away . Less visible are the thousands of men and women who work hard each day to produce many of the products that are essential to modern life . These products include most of the gasoline , diesel and jet fuel Minnesotans use every day , a significant percentage of the asphalt used across the country , as well as heating fuels and the chemical building blocks for other essential products such as plastics , fertilizers , medicines and synthetic materials .
Protecting the environment and keeping people safe are the top principles of the Pine Bend refinery . Since 1997 the refinery has lowered emissions of traditional criteria pollutants by approximately 70 %, while increasing production to help meet demand . The refinery has reduced total onsite emissions in 11 of the last 15 years , and its emissions per barrel are approximately 20 % lower than other U . S . refineries . Thanks to its employees , the Pine Bend refinery is among the most efficient refineries operating in the United States today .
