On March 27, Braya's first ever shipment of biofuel, produced from soya bean oil, was exported from Newfoundland and Labrador to a customer based in California.
Industry Minister Andrew Parsons recently visited Come By Chance to celebrate the refinery’s 50-year history and mark the beginning of a new era with the launch of renewable fuel production. In the House of Assembly last week, Parsons spoke of how Braya Renewable Fuels has invested more than $1 billion into a renewable fuel production facility. In February, Braya Renewable Fuels successfully commenced refinery operations, converting the traditional petroleum refinery into a renewable fuel production facility, investing more than $1 billion into our province and drastically reducing emissions. Parsons says government recognizes the importance of this refinery and the jobs it supplies directly and indirectly to the local communities, to the region, and to the entire province. On March 27, Braya's first ever shipment of biofuel, produced from soya bean oil, was exported from Newfoundland and Labrador to a customer based in California.
