The Kwinana refinery, a staple in the region since 1955, is set to undergo a major transformation. BP has received approval for a $580 million biorefinery project that will convert the site into a clean energy hub.
Key highlights:
- The new facility will produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from renewable feedstocks, including vegetable oils and biowaste.
- The upgrade will enhance efficiency and reduce congestion on local roads, promoting sustainable development in the Kwinana Industrial Area.
- The project is expected to support around 150 jobs during construction and aims for an operational lifespan of at least two decades.
This is a significant step towards a greener future and highlights the importance of repurposing industrial sites for sustainable energy solutions.
