Petronas, Eni and Euglena study potential biorefinery in Malaysia
In Malaysia, Petronas, Eni and Euglena announced that they are jointly studying the possibility of
developing and operating a biorefinery in the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC).
The three parties are currently carrying out technical and economic feasibility assessments for the
proposed project, with the investment decision expected to be reached by 2023 and the plant targeted to
be completed by 2025.
The biorefinery is expected to have a flexible configuration to maximize the production of sustainable
aviation fuel for aircraft as well as Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for on-road vehicles, diesel-powered
trains, and marine transportation, the companies said.
The biorefinery is also expected to have the capability to process about 650,000 tons per year of raw
materials to produce up to 12,500 barrels per day of biofuels, namely SAF, HVO, and bio-naphtha.
