In Australia, Saunders International Limited has been awarded an A$42 million contract to provide tank refurbishment and modification services for bp at its Kwinana energy hub, in Perth, Western Australia. The fixed price Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract forms part of bp’s Kwinana Renewable Fuels project. The scope involves 25 tanks at the bp Kwinana energy hub being repurposed for feedstock or biofuels storage. The Kwinana Renewable Fuels project is one of five biorefineries that bp has planned globally. The project plans to reutilise some infrastructure at the bp Kwinana site to produce lower carbon fuel products that have the ability to support the decarbonization of aviation and heavy industry. The project is subject to regulatory and State government approvals.
