The fuel security of Western Australia is set to receive a significant boost with the introduction of the new 120ML Strategic Diesel Fuel Tankage project. Supported by a Federal Government Grant under the Boosting Australia’s Diesel Storage Programme, this initiative aims to establish Coogee as an independent major ground and aviation fuels terminal storage and services provider at Kwinana.
The project, proudly built by CB&I, is a crucial step towards ensuring long-term fuel security for the region. With a storage capacity of 120 million litres, the new facility will play a vital role in meeting the growing demand for diesel fuel in Western Australia.
The Federal Government Grant, awarded as part of the Boosting Australia’s Diesel Storage Programme, has been instrumental in making this project a reality. This programme aims to enhance fuel security across the country by supporting the construction of new storage facilities for critical fuel types. By providing financial assistance to projects like the 120ML Strategic Diesel Fuel Tankage, the government is actively working towards safeguarding Australia’s fuel supply.
Coogee, as the independent major ground and aviation fuels terminal storage and services provider at Kwinana, will offer a comprehensive range of services and capabilities. The facility will not only store diesel fuel but also provide crucial services like blending, testing, and distribution. This will establish Coogee as a key player in the fuel storage and services industry, contributing to the overall growth and development of this sector in Western Australia.
The long-term benefits of the 120ML Strategic Diesel Fuel Tankage project are manifold. Firstly, it will significantly enhance fuel supply reliability in Western Australia. With a large capacity for fuel storage, the region will be better equipped to handle fluctuations in demand and ensure a steady supply of diesel fuel for various sectors including transportation, agriculture, and mining.
Moreover, the project will have a positive economic impact by creating job opportunities during the construction phase and subsequently through ongoing operations and maintenance. The facility will also attract investment and business opportunities in the region, further stimulating economic growth.
In addition to fuel security and economic benefits, the project also prioritises environmental sustainability. The new storage facility will adhere to stringent environmental standards and incorporate measures to minimise any potential impact on the environment. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the broader goals of the Australian government to reduce emissions and promote a greener future.
Overall, the introduction of the 120ML Strategic Diesel Fuel Tankage project, supported by a Federal Government Grant, is a significant milestone for Western Australia. It not only bolsters fuel security in the region but also establishes Coogee as a major player in the fuel storage and services industry. With its comprehensive range of services and commitment to environmental sustainability, the project promises long-term.
