About Valero Energy Corporation

Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) is one of the largest independent petroleum refiners in the United States, operating 15 strategically located refineries across the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. With a combined throughput capacity of 3.2 million barrels per day, Valero processes crude oil into refined products that serve global markets. Beyond traditional refining, Valero diversifies its portfolio through 12 ethanol plants producing 1.6 billion gallons annually and a 50% stake in Diamond Green Diesel, generating 1.2 billion gallons of renewable diesel yearly. This integrated energy approach positions Valero at the intersection of conventional and renewable fuel production. As an independent refiner, VLO benefits from crude oil price spreads and refined product demand. Investors seeking exposure to energy infrastructure, petroleum refining margins, and the renewable fuels transition often consider Valero for its operational scale, geographic diversification, and commitment to sustainable energy production.
