Calls grow for urgent talks to protect future of Grangemouth oil refinery

Governments in Westminster and Edinburgh urged to engage with Petroineos to save Scotland’s sole remaining oil refinery

The UK and Scottish governments have been asked to arrange urgent talks to protect the future of Scotland’s only remaining oil refinery at Grangemouth.

Daniel Johnson, Scottish Labour’s economy spokesperson, has written to PetroChina, part of the joint venture that owns the site, seeking to discuss the future of the complex where oil refining is due to cease next year.
