Gianforte said.
I applaud Calumet for their investment in Montana. It’s going to create jobs here and it’s good for Montana ag as well.
The refinery boasts some large improvements already and hopes to add to them. Their barrel production grew from 10,000 to 30,000 and they also account for almost 80% of all asphalt that is on Montana roads, according to a spokesperson for Calumet.
Calumet’s goals for the project are to replace half their crude run with renewable feedstock, building a new “renewable hydrogen” plant, upgrading asphalt operations, and partnering with an investor.
