Notes
Multiple news sources from March 2026 indicate Par Pacific's Hawaii biorefinery project (located in West Oahu/Kapolei area) is still in startup/commissioning phase, not yet fully operational. The March 3rd article states the project 'nears startup' and March 2nd mentions it will 'produce plant-based biofuels', indicating transition from construction to operational phase but not yet running at normal capacity.
