Notes

Recent news from December 2025 and January 2026 indicates Grangemouth received £150m funding package to protect jobs and secure ethylene operations ('Reprieve for Grangemouth ethylene'). This contradicts the 'closed' status in the database. While the refinery faces industry-wide challenges, the recent substantial investment and mention of protecting operations suggest it is currently operational, though likely at reduced capacity given broader UK refinery sector difficulties.
