Renewable Future

In order to complete a state-of-the-art facility, World Energy will retrofit and modernize the refinery, its equipment, supporting utilities and logistics assets. World Energy Paramount is seeking to augment its production of renewable fuel and modernize its equipment within the existing facility footprint. The project will increase production of renewables while decreasing the volume of refining at the site.

Questions & Answers

Who is World Energy?

World Energy is one of the largest and longest-serving advanced clean energy suppliers in North America.  In addition to Paramount, the other World Energy facilities are located in Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and two in Ontario, Canada. 

What is World Energy Making at its Paramount Facility?

World Energy acquired the former Paramount Petroleum facility in 2018.  Instead of refining petroleum and asphalt, we are transforming the facility into one that produces clean, renewable energy.

What Are Renewable Fuels?

We can take everyday things like cooking oils and turn them into energy for planes and motor vehicles.  In Paramount, World Energy currently makes renewable diesel, renewable gasoline and sustainable aviation fuel.

What are the Environmental Benefits of World Energy’s Products?

Our clean energy products deliver over 75% reduction in carbon emissions and cleaner air by reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), in addition to potentially reducing toxic compounds. 

How about Flare Events & How are they Different than at a Petroleum Refinery?

The gas generated by World Energy’s manufacturing process does not contain high concentrations of benzene, toluene, or xylene found in petroleum-based refinery gasses. A flare is a safety device that allows excess gases that cannot be used in the operation of the facility to be safely burned, protecting the community and the equipment.

What will be the Impact on Jobs?

When World Energy acquired the facility, we kept the established workforce and retrained them in cutting edge green technologies.  The full conversion of our Paramount facility into one that produces clean, renewable energy will create construction jobs as well as additional permanent high-paying jobs.

How is World Energy Minimizing its Impacts on the Local Community?

We are a member of the Paramount community, committed to safety and being a responsible neighbor.  Many of us live in the city, so being a good neighbor is naturally woven into who we are.  As we permanently shift towards a sustainable future, we are taking every step to minimize impacts to our neighbors.
