Marathon Petroleum highlighted its operating efficiency on Monday, November 9, 2026, after six refineries earned 2026 ENERGY STAR certifications. The company said the facilities ranked in the top quartile of comparable sites for energy performance during the 2025 operating year.
The announcement covers refineries in Canton, Ohio; Garyville, Louisiana; Robinson, Illinois; St. Paul Park, Minnesota; Anacortes, Washington; and Salt Lake City, Utah. Canton and Garyville received their 21st consecutive certifications, while the other four facilities also extended established certification records.
Efficiency remains a portfolio priority
Marathon Petroleum said its certifications total reached 85 across the refinery network, more than any other refining company since refineries became eligible for the program in 2006. Certification requires top-quartile Energy Intensity Index performance, review by a licensed professional engineer and compliance with environmental requirements.
The company also said its Focus on Energy program helped avoid nearly one billion British thermal units per hour of energy consumption in 2025. The company linked that reduction to the annual energy use of approximately 60,000 homes or 100,000 gasoline-powered vehicles.
The Marathon Petroleum announcement said the certifications also include the company's headquarters in Findlay, Ohio, and an office building in San Antonio, Texas.
