Additional Details
Valero Energy Corporation is an American-based fuels producer primarily involved in manufacturing and marketing transportation fuels and related products. Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, the company owns and operates 14 refineries across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with a combined throughput capacity of approximately 3.2 million barrels per day. It is on the Pentagon’s “Top 100” suppliers list and supplies jet and diesel fuel to the U.S. military. Valero has been a long-time, key supplier of JP-8 jet fuel to Israel. Since the war began in 2023, Israel has received three tankers of JP-8 jet fuel from the U.S., all originating from Valero's Bill Greehey refinery. Valero's response to this report is as follows: 'We do not sell fuel to Israel or the Israel Defense Forces. We are, however, a contractually bound supplier of various fuels to the United States military in several locations, including for their use at U.S. military bases.' -- Listed on NYSE (VLO), Valero Energy Corporation is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM.
