[7] In 2016 the refinery's overall production was 80,000 barrels per day, 60% of that being petrol, 30% diesel and 10% jet fuel, which is piped directly to Melbourne Airport.

The refinery could produce petrol with 1% benzene and diesel with a maximum sulfur content of 50ppm.

LPG produced by the refinery would then go to the Qenos plant, at the Altona chemical complex.

In February 2021, ExxonMobil announced the Altona Refinery would close and be converted to a fuel import terminal.

Plans were for the fuel to be shipped into the deep water port at Point Gellibrand, and then moved to Yarraville.
