???? 據烴加工2021年2月3日倫敦報道，根據路透社獲得的一封信的內容，私募股權公司Cresta 基金管理公司已提出收購北大西洋煉油有限公司(NARL)的多數股份。NARL是時下閑置的具有日加工13.5萬桶原油能力的Come-by-Chance煉油廠的所有者。

????這家總部位于美國達拉斯的公司在1月22日的一封信中表示，NARL將尋求把這個煉油廠轉變為可再生燃料生產廠。自去年3月以來，這個位于紐芬蘭省的煉油廠一直處于關閉狀態，這是美國和加拿大各地因冠狀病毒疫情大流行導致的需求破壞而停止運營的眾多煉油廠之一。

????自那以后，加拿大幾家煉油商宣布計劃將其業務轉為生產可再生燃料，以在兩國努力減少排放之際保持可行性。

????加拿大的清潔燃料標準(CFS)要求從2022年開始為每種燃料設定碳強度降低目標，預計這將增加可再生燃料的需求。

????目前正在積極尋找新的所有者的Come-by-Chance煉油廠由NARL和美國知名投資機構紐約投資公司Silverpeak共同運營。

????Private equity firm bids for Canada's idled refiners

????Private equity firm Cresta Fund Management has offered to buy a majority stake in North Atlantic Refining Ltd (NARL), owner of the idled Canadian 135,000 barrel-per-day Come-by-Chance refinery, according to a letter reviewed by Reuters.

????The Dallas-based firm said in a letter dated Jan. 22 it would look to convert the refinery to renewable fuel production. The Newfoundland refinery has been shut since March, one of numerous refineries across the United States and Canada that have halted operations due to coronavirus-induced demand destruction.

????Several refiners since then have announced plans to convert their operations to renewable fuels production to remain viable as both nations try to reduce emissions.

????Canada’s Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) will require carbon-intensity reduction targets set for each fuel starting in 2022 and is projected to increase renewable fuel demand.

????The refinery, operated by NARL and New York-based investment firm Silverpeak, is actively searching for a new owner.
