And at Phillips 66 Limited (and more specifically the Humber Refinery), we have some unexpected revelations of our own that will surprise many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">The UK\u2019s road fleet is becoming increasingly diverse as electric vehicle (EV) demand accelerates and new and potentially revolutionary technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, emerge and renewable transport fuels become more available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">At the Humber Refinery, we produce something called \u2018speciality coke\u2019 which is a solid, high purity, concentrated carbon material and a critical mineral in the production of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars and consumer electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know the Humber Refinery is Europe\u2019s only producer of speciality coke? The relationship between EVs and the Humber Refinery speciality coke production is surprising and intriguing \u2013 it is something we, at Phillips 66 Limited, are immensely proud (and protective) of. Furthermore, the Humber Refinery produces enough speciality coke to put 1.3 million EVs on the road every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">So how does it work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">Well, like all great products &#8211; the formula for our speciality coke is a closely guarded secret(!). However, what we can reveal is that to produce this product, the refinery processes conventional crude oil together with some waste materials such as used cooking oil, to produce the speciality coke. Heating and cooling, increasing and decreasing pressure, distilling, purifying at different points through the refinery until it turns into a solid. It then undergoes further processing to produce synthetic graphite which is a product that is used in EV batteries worldwide to store the lithium-ions when the battery is charged and then released to provide the energy to run EVs. Not only that, but the speciality graphite produced at the refinery may well be in your smartphone battery too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">Graphite is a hugely important material for battery production in the EV transition, and we think it\u2019s pretty cool that we are making this critical product here in the UK from conventional and waste feedstocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s not all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">Changes to the vehicles we drive will mean a change to the forecourts that facilitate and maintain our road trips. This will require new and diversified energy offerings to support the drivers of zero-emission vehicles, plus new lower-carbon fuels. Earlier this year, we successfully launched JET Charge in three company-owned dealer operated sites with 150 kw ultra-rapid charging and simple, straightforward pay-as-you-go with no minimum charge.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">We are excited about the role Phillips 66 Limited is seeking to play in a rapidly transitioning energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"hero hero--overlay wp-block-paragraph\">*For clarification of charge output categorisation please see Chapter 2 \u201cHow electric vehicles are charged\u201d and Table 1: Final report \u2013 GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image align wp-block-psx-widen-image\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phillips66.widen.net\/content\/knx5kxc1id\/jpeg\/JET%20EV%20car.jpeg?w=920&#038;h=718&#038;position=c&#038;color=ffffffff&#038;quality=80&#038;u=mrgznq\" width=\"920\" height=\"718\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet is awash with origin stories that baffle and bemuse and the definitive source of \u2018Did you know\u2026\u2019 dinner party openers.
