About Ampol

We are proud of our heritage. We have been powering better journeys for all Australians for over 100 years. As Australia’s very own fuel brand we are committed to making those journeys easier by meeting Australia’s needs at every step with the care and service we all deserve. And, as we grow, we continue to evolve, to ensure we have low carbon solutions that will meet the needs of our customers well into the future.

As part of the energy transition for transport fuels, we are undertaking a major upgrade to our oil refinery located in Lytton, Queensland, to accommodate changes to fuel standards regulated by the Commonwealth Government. The upgrade is known as the ‘Ampol Future Fuels Gasoline Desulfurisation Project’ to secure Australia’s long-term fuel supply by ensuring our sovereign refining capability meets our needs during an emergency and into the future.

The Project will contribute to improved fuel efficiency within Queensland and Australia, resulting in reduced running costs for users and consumers and will also serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; contributing to emissions reduction targets; and lowering health costs associated with air quality issues.
