The project is expected to produce renewable hydrocarbon products that when burned, have the potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas emissions when measured across the entire lifecycle of the products.
The project is reported to be progressing well with initial engineering work underway and the next phase of engineering work expected to be completed by the end of the year.
