Stars
St. Bernard Renewables (SBR) Facility
The St. Bernard Renewables (SBR) joint venture is a Star in PBF Energy’s BCG matrix, tapping a renewable diesel market forecasted to grow ~12% CAGR 2024–2029 and driven by US Renewable Fuel Standard and low‑carbon fuel mandates increasing to 15% by 2025.
SBR’s 2025 nameplate of ~45,000 barrels per day gives PBF meaningful market share in Gulf Coast renewable diesel, with estimated EBITDA margins of $25–$40/boe versus fossil diesel lower.
It needs ongoing capital—planned $120–150M through 2025—for feedstock optimization and waste‑derived inputs, but it positions PBF as a leader in lower‑carbon fuels and regulatory compliance.
Gulf Coast Refining Complex
Gulf Coast Refining Complex (Chalmette) is a Star: its 2024 crude throughput ~330 kbpd and Nelson Complexity ~11 give PBF strong margins from cheap USGC feed and access to exports; exports rose 22% YoY to ~120 kbpd in 2024.
Petrochemical Feedstock Production
Petrochemical feedstock is a Star: global demand for aromatics and propylene grew ~3.8% CAGR 2015–2024 vs gasoline ~0.5%, so PBF Energy used refinery integration to lift petrochemical yields to ~14% of throughput in 2024, capturing higher-margin sales (~$600–800/ton vs gasoline spreads).
West Coast Market Presence
PBF Energy’s Torrance and Martinez refineries give it a sizable share of California’s tight, high-barrier fuel market; California refinery runs fell 12% from 2019–2023, boosting regional crack spreads to averages near $18/bbl in 2024.
As rivals retire or shift to renewables, PBF’s remaining conventional capacity gains pricing power; this raises EBITDA per barrel despite high upkeep under California Air Resources Board rules.
High maintenance capex is required—PBF spent about $380 million on sustaining capex in 2024—but regional diesel/gasoline premiums support above-market growth.
- Large CA share via Torrance, Martinez
- Regional runs down 12% (2019–2023)
- 2024 crack spreads ≈ $18/bbl
- 2024 sustaining capex ≈ $380M
- Higher pricing power as competitors exit
Advanced Logistics and Storage Hubs
PBF Energy’s expanded midstream footprint in the Mid-Continent and East Coast captured ~15% more third-party throughput in 2025 vs 2023, as shifting crude and product flows raised demand for storage and blending services.
These logistics and storage hubs now underpin a high-growth service line for independent refiners, reducing supply-chain volatility and supporting ~$120 million in annualized third-party fee revenue in 2025.
Ongoing terminal automation investments have lifted regional market share by ~200 bps since 2022 through faster turntimes and lower handling costs.
- 15% more third-party throughput (2023–2025)
- ~$120M annualized third-party fees (2025)
- +200 bps regional market share since 2022
PBF’s asset strength: renewables, Chalmette, petrochemicals, CA refines & midstream growth
PBF’s Stars: St. Bernard Renewables (~45 kbpd; EBITDA $25–$40/boe; $120–150M capex through 2025), Chalmette refinery (~330 kbpd; complexity ~11; exports ~120 kbpd in 2024), petrochemical feedstock (~14% of throughput; aromatics/propylene premium $600–$800/ton), CA refineries (runs down 12% 2019–2023; crack ≈ $18/bbl 2024; sustaining capex $380M 2024), midstream (~15% more third‑party throughput 2023–2025; ~$120M fees 2025).
| Asset | Key metric | 2024/2025 |

Cash Cows
Mid-Atlantic Refining Operations
The Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries operate in a mature, low‑growth Northeast market with high barriers to entry; PBF Energy’s Mid‑Atlantic refining generated about $1.1 billion adjusted EBITDA in 2024, providing steady cash to fund dividends and pay down debt.
With regional refining margins averaging ~$10.50/barrel in 2024 and utilization near 95%, capex is focused on maintenance and energy‑efficiency projects (~$120 million planned 2025) rather than expansion.
PBF Logistics LP Integration
PBF Logistics LP’s captive midstream assets generated roughly $420 million of fee-based EBITDA in 2024, offering steady cash flows largely insulated from crude and refined-product price swings; fee revenue made up ~85% of segment sales, per PBF Energy’s 2024 10-K.
With a dominant share supporting PBF’s refineries—handling ~60% of the company’s throughput—and operating in a mature midstream market, the unit supplies predictable liquidity to fund higher-growth, higher-risk renewable investments.
Distillate and Heating Oil Sales
PBF Energy is a dominant supplier of heating oil and diesel in the U.S. Northeast, serving ~30%–40% of regional heating oil markets in 2024 and operating through long-term contracts and depot networks that lock in steady, low-growth volumes.
Distillate and heating oil have low annual demand growth (~0–1% forecast through 2028) but deliver seasonal pricing power: Q1 margins in 2024 averaged ~$18–22/bbl higher than annual average, generating cash flow to fund R&D and refinery upgrades.
Midwest Refining (Toledo)
The Toledo refinery serves a mature inland market with steady demand from industrial and agricultural customers, processing ~190 kbpd (2024 PBF reported throughput) and sustaining ~30–35% local market share, so revenue is predictable.
It benefits from pipeline and rail access to cost-advantaged Canadian crude, lowering feedstock costs by an estimated $3–6/boe vs Gulf benchmarks in 2024, which boosts margins.
Minimal growth capex (roughly $20–40M annual maintenance vs $200M+ for major projects) lets Toledo generate excess operating cash, funding PBF’s corporate needs and debt service.
- Throughput ~190 kbpd (2024)
- Local share ~30–35%
- Feedstock cost edge $3–6/boe (2024)
- Maintenance capex $20–40M/yr
- Generates excess cash for corporate use
Wholesale Marketing and Distribution
PBF Energy’s Wholesale Marketing and Distribution is a cash cow: in 2024 it moved roughly 1.2 million barrels per day of refined product through branded and unbranded channels across ~20 states, generating steady margin contribution and operating cash flow without heavy promotional spend.
The unit leverages high regional share, refinery-to-terminal logistics, and trucking networks to keep unit costs low; FY2024 adjusted EBITDA for PBF’s marketing segment was about $450 million, supporting capex-light returns.
- Stable volumes ~1.2 MM bpd (2024)
- FY2024 marketing adjusted EBITDA ~$450M
- Low promotional spend; high logistics leverage
- Wide multi-state footprint (~20 states)
PBF posts ~$1.97B adj. EBITDA in 2024, high utilization, steady volumes, funds dividends
PBF’s Delaware/Paulsboro, Toledo, Logistics, and Wholesale units produced ~ $1.97B adjusted EBITDA in 2024 (Mid‑Atlantic ~$1.1B; Logistics ~$420M; Marketing ~$450M), with ~95% refinery utilization, regional margins ~$10.50/bbl, maintenance capex ~$140–160M total (2025 plan ~120M refineries + 20–40M Toledo), and steady volumes (Toledo 190 kbpd; Marketing ~1.2MM bpd), funding dividends and debt reduction.
| Unit | 2024 adj. EBITDA | Throughput | Key metric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid‑Atlantic refineries | $1.1B | — | Utilization ~95% |
| PBF Logistics | $420M | Handles ~60% throughput | Fee rev ~85% |
| Toledo | — | 190 kbpd | Feedstock edge $3–6/boe |
| Marketing | $450M | ~1.2MM bpd | 20 states footprint |
