General information

Description of the project

The project involves a comprehensive modernization of the oil refinery with the replacement of a significant part of the oil refining equipment, increasing the depth of processing and increasing the design processing capacity from 6 to 11 million tons of oil per year. After the start of the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the main routes of oil and oil products in Europe and Ukraine were changed, which emphasized the need for self-sufficiency in energy, including the creation of the necessary levels of minimum reserves of oil and oil products.

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Capacity building

Secondary goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards, Creation of new facilities and services, Rebuilding the damaged/destroyed, Improving the condition of infrastructure, Improving the quality of services

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

The goal of the project is a comprehensive modernization of the oil refinery to increase the volume and depth of processing, and, as a result, overcome the critical dependence of the Ukrainian economy on imports of petroleum products.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

The existing equipment is partially destroyed as a result of missile attacks on the infrastructure by the Russian Federation, is not efficient enough in terms of the depth of processing (currently, the depth of oil processing in terms of petroleum products is about 74%), emits significant amounts of greenhouse gases and limits the possibilities of increasing the volume of oil processing to cover most of the needs of the domestic Ukrainian market in petroleum products. The key objectives of the project are: • Decarbonization (reduction of CO2, NOx, CH4, SO2, etc. emissions by 1 ton after modernization); • Increase in the volume of raw material processing from 6 to 11 million tons; • Increase in the depth of processing from 74% to 95%; • Ensuring coverage of more than 2/3 of Ukraine's needs in petroleum products.
