The Astron Energy Refinery
We have implemented an energy efficiency program to reduce the energy requirements at our refinery by between 10-20% by 2023. Water is essential to our operations and we are committed to the responsible use and conservation of water. 80% of the water needed for our refinery process comes from recycled water from a local treatment plant.

Astron (a subsidiary of the global commodity trader Glencore) bought the refinery from Chevron in 2019 but the plant has been out of action since it was damaged by a fire in mid-2020.
