In addition, the refinery will have the capacity to produce more than 5 million tons of fuel per year and works should begin in 2024.
The venture was the subject of a protocol of intentions signed with the State Economic Development Secretariat (SDE) and foresees the generation of 3,5 jobs during the construction of the refinery and another 600 direct and indirect jobs in the operation phase.
The Bahian refinery will produce Bunker and Maritime Diesel, fuel suitable for ships, gasoline for motor vehicles and diesel oil for the road and rail sectors, aimed at transporting cargo and passengers.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will be produced for use as fuel in heating appliances and cooking equipment.
The company's idea is to work, over the next 20 months, on structuring the project, in addition to environmental studies. The project does not yet have a raw material supplier, nor a defined anchor customer.
The Secretary for Economic Development, Angelo Almeida, pointed out that Bahia will gain one more refinery, in addition to the two already in operation: Acelen, the company that manages the Mataripe Refinery, and Dax Oill Refino, located in Camaçari.
He believes that the project will be essential not only for the fuel market, but also for the entire economy of the state of Bahia.
