In Ontario, Suncor's wholly-owned subsidiary, Suncor Energy Products Inc., operates a 70,000 barrel per day capacity refinery.
Suncor's refinery, located in Commerce City, near Denver, is the largest refining operation in the Rocky Mountain region with a capacity of 90,000 barrels per day.
Suncor invested over $1 million to install fixed geodesic domed roofs on two floating gas tanks at the refinery. This modification reduces VOC emissions.
