Description
Description | Ampol is set to develop renewable diesel at its Lytton Refinery in Queensland, supported by a $25 million investment from the Queensland Government. The project involves modifying the existing diesel hydrotreater to co-process conventional diesel with biogenic feedstocks such as waste and plant oils and animal fats to produce renewable diesel usable in any existing diesel engine. The initial production capacity will be up to 20 million litres of renewable diesel per year from 2028, processing 15 to 20 kilotons of feedstock annually. The project includes construction of a truck handling gantry, heated and insulated storage tanks with mixing and blending capacity, a secondary tank containment system, and system upgrades to process the feedstock. The project received a prescribed project state status to streamline approvals and is expected to create 46 new jobs during construction and operations. |
