Sentuo Oil Refinery was conceived from the Chinese government’s Belt and Road Development Strategy for the oil and gas industry in China & Africa. Following extensive research and consultations, the Sentuo Group settled on Shanghai HoTo Engineering’s oil refinery technology. The “Sentuo Oil Refinery Limited (SORL)” phase 1 will be completed in October 2022 and will have an initial production capacity of 2 million tons per year (tpy). Phase 2 of the Sentuo Oil Refinery will be completed in January 2024 and will operate at a capacity of 5 million tons per year (tpy). The Refinery is located at the Tema Industrial Zone in Ghana in West Africa.

In accordance with the government of Ghana's “One District One Factory” development policy, as well as the general planning of the Tema Industrial Park area, the project essentially factors in key features such as modern scientific technology and innovation, energy conservation and environmental protection, recycling economics, phase & rolling development and the scalability of production capacity and quality; which are all key requirements of any new production and/or manufacturing project.
