Phillips 66 Refinery
Ferndale
Not only is the Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery an important supplier of gasoline and diesel for stations
across the Pacific Northwest, but it’s also where more than 400 people come to work every day. For
six of the last seven years, the refinery has earned the EPA Energy Star certification, one of only five
refineries in the nation to earn the elite certification in 2018.

Green Manufacturing to Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery. The team has
invested in green infrastructure projects that have both cut emissions
and increased energy efficiency since the plant was built in the
1950s. That includes a replacement in 2017 of one of its main towers.
Another environmental project cut emissions by 92 percent.
