Newest Technology Vegetable Oil Refinery Plant in Angola

20Tpd Vegetable Oil Refinery Machine in Angola

Does Angola have a refining capacity?
Status: In August last year, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Petroleum launched an international public tender for the construction of a privately-owned oil refinery in Soyo. With current production meeting less than one-third of domestic oil consumption, Angola’s refining capacity remains severely underserved.
How many jobs will ANGOP’s new refinery create?
The opening of these two new manufacturing units will enable the creation of more than 320 jobs. Regarding the refinery, the company, in a note quoted by Angop, said that it will have a production capacity of 400 tonnes per day of vegetable oil, palm oil and sunflower oil.
Can Angola fill 90% of the refinery’s jobs?
The head of Gemcorp’s operations in Luanda, Marcus Weyll, is confident that 90% of the refinery’s jobs can be filled by Angolan workers. The first phase will create 1,300 direct and indirect jobs, according to Gemcorp, which has set up a training center for this purpose.
When will Angola’s new oil refinery be operational?
The project is well behind schedule, though. Initial construction commenced in 2020 with the refinery initially expected to be operational by early 2022. New refineries are also planned in Soyo, on Angola’s far north coast close to Cabinda, and Lobito, on the central coast. Both projects have seen long delays.
