PBF Energy Braces for Another Tough Year in Refining, Eyes Renewable Diesel

SUGAR LAND--February 15, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The COVID-19 pandemic made no exceptions for refiner PBF Energy Incorporated (NYSE:PBF) (Parsippany, New Jersey), which saw its 2020 revenues fall 42% from 2019 to about $3.65 billion, as many drivers reduced their road time and per-barrel refining margins fell below $10, usually the breakeven line for profits. Executives bluntly acknowledged that its product demand will not see substantial growth until vaccine distribution is improved. Industrial Info is tracking about $680 million in active projects from PBF, only $100 million of which is attributed to unit additions.
