Description
Objectives

Construction and operation of new oil processing units within existing refineries at Sines and Porto.

The project will convert heavy and sulfurous oil products into low sulfur containing middle distillates such as diesel, products of which the Iberian peninsula and Europe as a whole is in deficit. Both refineries will be modified with a view to an integrated operation.

 

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The project concerns the upgrading of existing refineries to improve competitiveness and to convert heavy oil products to high quality automotive fuels as required under European standards. It falls under Annex II of the EIA directive 85/337/EC and its amendments. Due to its technical characteristics and potential impacts on the environment EIAs are required by the environmental authorities in line with the provisions of the directive. Such EIAs are under preparation.

 

The project is a private sector operation not subject to EU public procurement legislation.
