Ampol Renewable Diesel Co-Processing Facility project

The proposed project will modify Ampol’s existing diesel hydrotreater at the Lytton refinery to enable co-processing of biogenic feedstocks (tallow and canola oil) with conventional diesel to produce renewable diesel. The facility will be capable of producing 15-20 million litres of renewable diesel per year.
