2026 California Refinery Transition and Decommissioning Summit

California demands more gasoline than any state in the country, and the refineries that supply it are now making decisions that will define the next decade of energy, labor, and land use in the region. Some plants are shutting down. Others are converting. A few are betting on staying exactly as they are. What happens next will shape fuel supply, jobs, and land use across the state. The California Refinery Transition and Decommissioning Summit is where that future gets worked out in the open. Regulators, economists, industry operators, remediation firms, labor leaders, and community organizations meet in one room for direct, data-driven conversations about what happens to these sites, the workers who run them, and the fuel markets they supply.
