ExxonMobil will hold a commissioning ceremony today to mark completion of an expansion at its north Baton Rouge refinery. The work, which allows the plant to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, was part of a $1 billion investment. Refineries in Texas and Belgium were also upgraded, and ExxonMobil now produces 6 million more gallons of cleaner burning fuel a day. Officials from the mayor’s office, Louisiana Economic Development and the Baton Rouge Area Chamber will be on hand for the ceremony. The work created 2,000 local construction jobs.
