The Grangemouth refinery in central Scotland is set to close, leading to possible redundancies for up to 500 workers, as it converts to an import terminal. Unions condemn the closure, with Unite's general secretary, Sharon Graham, calling it a "national disgrace" and criticizing the UK and Scottish governments for their inaction. She emphasizes the potential for the site to produce sustainable aviation fuel, arguing for government investment in a greener future. The transition process is expected to take about five years, with efforts to maintain Scotland's fuel supply during this period.
Sharon Graham, general secretary of trade union Unite said the closure of the Grangemouth Refinery is a "national disgrace" which amounts to a "needless act of industrial vandalism."
A spokesman for Petroineos stated the Grangemouth site will transition from a refinery to a national fuel distribution hub, ensuring Scotland's fuel supply is maintained.
