MODIFICATION OF THE CURRENT UNITS

Extending their lifespan by producing new low-carbon products

In the 2024-2028 period, Petronor plans to conduct 14 projects to modify the Refinery’s current units for a total of 542 million euros.

The first phase includes 4 projects, which apply proven technologies and enable the co-processing capacity of the units to be increased by incorporating a higher percentage of raw materials of biological origin in the manufacture of fuels.​

The second phase includes 10 projects involving less mature technologies and high degrees of co-processing that can achieve 100% use of bio-based products and waste in fuel manufacture.

One of the projects included in this Second Phase is the construction of a New Unit that will enable the production of polymer-grade propylene with a purity of 99.5%. This is a highly demanded product in the market, as it is used as a raw material in polymer production. This €58 million investment will strengthen the Refinery’s product diversification and is expected to be operational in 2026.​
