Axens selected as technology licensor for America First Refining facility

As part of the agreement, Axens will provide its reining technologies to support the design and operation of the facility, including critical systems that will contribute to the refinery’s overall performance and reduced energy consumption.

Axens has been engaged on the project since 2017, working alongside AFR entities to advance the development of afacility purpose-built for American energy.

The AFR facility will leverage commercially proven technologies to efficiently process American shale oil into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Once operational, the refinery is expected to process more than 60 million bpy of domestic crude, supporting US energy resilience and modernising refining infrastructure.

The refinery is specifically designed to process 100% American light shale oil, aligning US refining capacity with today’s production landscape. Located at a deep-water port with access to global markets, the facility will produce some of the cleanest fuels refined at scale in the US while strengthening domestic supply chains.
