Phillips 66 (PSX) and Renewable Energy Group Inc. (REGI) said they discontinuing their joint effort to construct a large-scale renewable diesel plant in Ferndale, Washington.

The companies said the project was canceled due to permitting delays and uncertainties.

The companies said the 250 million gallon per year project was unveiled in the fall of 2018.

"While we believe the Ferndale Refinery is a strategic fit for this renewable diesel project, permitting uncertainties were leading to delays and higher costs," said Robert Herman, Phillips 66 executive vice president of refining.
