  • What happened at South Africa's third-biggest crude oil refinery?
  • Photo: Courtesy of Cape (Town) Inc. The fire at South Africa’s third-biggest crude oil refinery started at around 4 a.m. (0200 GMT), said Astron Energy, which is majority owned by commodities trader Glencore. “The resultant fire has been contained and all work on the plant has been suspended,” said a spokeswoman.
  • What is the Astron Energy refinery?
  • The Astron Energy Refinery in Cape Town plays a key role in ensuring security of supply for South Africa, as well as supporting important sectors of the economy, including mining.
  • How does Cape Town refinery produce high quality fuels?
  • At our Cape Town refinery we are dedicated to producing high quality fuels through our refining process: Crude oil arrives by oil tanker in Saldanha Bay for discharge and is then transported to Cape Town refinery via pipeline.
  • Why did South Africa Invest in a crude oil refinery?
  • The investment aims to bring the facility in line with South Africa’s Clean Fuels II standards, which mandate lower sulphur content in both petrol and diesel. The 100,000-barrels-per-day (bpd) refinery, located near Cape Town, is one of only two operational crude oil refineries in the country.
  • Where is our refinery located?
  • Our refinery is located between residential communities in the Cape Town area, so we take extra care to make sure we take the necessary steps to protect our employees, their families and our neighbouring communities. Petroleum refining is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world.
