Suncor Energy’s Commerce City refinery is returning to full-scale operations after a shutdown that lasted more than two months.
Latest leak from Suncor’s shut-down Commerce City refinery didn’t violate air emissions regulations, state says
Those permit violations remain under investigation by state and federal officials. The company also is investigating its shutdown, Garcia said. When it operates at full capacity, Suncor’s Commerce City location refines about 100,000 barrels of oil per day and produces about 40% of the gasoline used in Colorado. The refinery also makes diesel, jet fuel and a primary ingredient used in asphalt.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration blamed Colorado’s expensive gasoline prices on the refinery’s outage. Typically, gas prices drop during the winter because people drive less, but this year a gallon of gas in Colorado has risen 51% since the shutdown, the Energy Information Association reported.
