London, November 10, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –– Pengerang Biorefinery Sdn. Bhd., a joint venture between PETRONAS, Enilive S.p.A and Euglena Co., Ltd, marked a key milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony for the development of the new biorefinery in Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia.
The biorefinery will have the processing capacity of up to 650,000 tonnes of renewable feedstock annually and is projected to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and bio-naphtha. Feedstocks for the biorefinery will include wastes such as used vegetable oils and animal fats, and residues from the processing of vegetable oils. The new facility is targeted to commence operations by the second half of 2028 in line with the schedule.
Pengerang Biorefinery is a demonstration of a shared commitment by PETRONAS, Enilive and Euglena to meet the growing needs for more competitive and accessible cleaner energy solutions. Located strategically within the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) in Johor, the biorefinery’s geographical advantage and access to major international shipping lanes will enhance its capability to meet the demands for biofuels and efficiently serve the markets, especially across the Asian region.
The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by Yang Berhormat Tuan Lee Ting Han, Chairman of the Johor State Committee for Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources; and joined by Yang Berhormat Dato’ Ramlee A Rahman, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Permodalan Darul Ta’zim as well as Yang Berhormat Puan Fauziah Misri, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri, Penawar.
