The La Mède refinery is a biorefinery that previously operated as a traditional fossil fuel refinery owned by TotalEnergies in Châteauneuf-les Martigues near Marseille, France, and on the Etang de Berre. The plant includes about 250 hectares. The biorefinery has a capacity of 500,000 tones of biofuels (hydrotreated vegetable oil) a year. The plant conversion, started in 2015, finished in 2019 with EUR 275 million of capital expenditure. In 2021, the plant announced production of aviation biofuel made from cooking oil.

  • The La Mède refinery is a biorefinery that previously operated as a traditional fossil fuel refinery owned by TotalEnergies in Châteauneuf-les Martigues near Marseille, France, and on the Etang de Berre. The plant includes about 250 hectares. The biorefinery has a capacity of 500,000 tones of biofuels (hydrotreated vegetable oil) a year. The plant conversion, started in 2015, finished in 2019 with EUR 275 million of capital expenditure. In 2021, the plant announced production of aviation biofuel made from cooking oil. A 2018 agreement with the French government capped the amount of palm oil production at the facility at 300 000 tonnes, while requiring at least 50 000 tonnes of French-grown rapeseed oil. Environmental activists have criticized the plant for its reliance on palm oil, which has a track record of global environmental destruction and human rights violations. Local farmers represented by Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles also expressed concerns about palm oil competing with local oil production. (en)
  • La plateforme de la Mède ou anciennement raffinerie de Provence ou raffinerie de la Mède est située à la Mède, un quartier de la commune de Châteauneuf-les-Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône). Elle a été construite par la Compagnie française de raffinage puis mise en route en juin 1935. La raffinerie étant fortement déficitaire, il a été décidé en avril 2015 d’arrêter les activités de raffinage dite « classique » à la fin 2016 et d'entamer des travaux de reconversion en une plateforme abritant notamment une bio-raffinerie et une petite centrale solaire de 8 MW. La capacité de production de biogazole dit « HVO » (huile végétale hydrotraitée) sera de 500 000 tonnes par an à partir de son démarrage prévu mi-2018. Elle sera ainsi la première raffinerie de biogazole française de taille mondiale[Quoi ?] et l'une des plus grandes en Europe. Ce projet était contesté car la production de biogazole devait être essentiellement assurée grâce à de l'huile de palme, conduisant à la déforestation en Indonésie et en Malaisie. Les ONGE obtiennent la fin de l'utilisation de l'huile de palme d'ici 2023. (fr)
