Mongstad

The refinery at Mongstad is modern, and has been extensively upgraded, with a capacity of 12 million tonnes of crude oil per year (230,000 barrels per day).

The heaviest components are used to make petrol coke, an important ingredient in anodes for aluminum production.

In the time of the "Mongstad scandal" as it was called, a "Mong" was colloquially used as a term to represent the amount of 6 billion kr.

Statoil built a natural gas-fired thermal power plant at Mongstad in 2010.

The carbon dioxide emissions that were predicted to result aroused public controversy as the project was being built.
