The Grangemouth refinery in Scotland has permanently stopped processing crude oil, a significant development announced by its owner, Petroineos. This marks a historic end to oil refining in Scotland, as the facility has been operational since 1924. The decision is expected to result in substantial unemployment in the region. Petroineos has invested in a new import and distribution terminal to meet transportation fuel demands through imported products. Local officials and politicians voiced their grief over the closure, highlighting its broader economic impact and urging for future community support and transition initiatives.
Grangemouth refinery is no longer processing crude oil. Petroineos has invested £50 million in creating a modern import and distribution terminal capable of receiving finished fuels.
The end of refining at Grangemouth is a very sad day for Scotland. This news is very damaging for workers and everyone in the area.
Today is the end of over a century of refining at Grangemouth. Scotland once again is a victim of industrial vandalism and devastation.
Grangemouth has a really important role in Scotland.
