Grangemouth Refinery to Cease Operations in 2025

Petroineos Plans Transformation into Fuels Import Terminal Amid Energy Transition

Scotland's only oil refinery, Grangemouth, is set to cease operations in 2025, putting hundreds of jobs at risk.
Petroineos, the firm that owns the refinery, plans to transform the site into a fuels import terminal due to global market pressures and the energy transition.
The refinery is expected to continue operating until at least spring 2025, and the transformation work is expected to take 18 months.
The company also plans to convert its existing export terminal at Finnart into a diesel import facility.
Unions and political parties have expressed concern over the livelihoods of the workers and the impact on the national and local economies.
