澳大利亚政府宣布将资助400万澳元进行可行性研究，计划在西澳大利亚建造该国60年来首座新炼油厂1。这一举措旨在应对中东地区冲突导致的全球油价上涨和供应不稳定风险。澳大利亚目前进口约90%的液体燃料1，能源供应对国际市场波动存在较强依赖。财政部长吉姆·查尔默斯警告称，中东局势升级对全球通胀构成"重大威胁"1，本月汽油和柴油价格分别上涨了25美分和50美分1。
该项目由Perdaman公司私人融资1，这座新炼油厂将成为澳大利亚第三座大型汽油炼油厂1。澳大利亚联邦政府已宣布实施107亿澳元的燃料安全一揽子计划1，其中包括1000万澳元用于支持可行性研究1。联邦政府和西澳州政府共同资助这项可行性研究1，该项目还可能获得纳税人进一步援助，例如优惠贷款等形式1。
The Australian government is moving forward with plans to construct its first new oil refinery in 60 years, with both federal and Western Australian authorities committing 4 million Australian dollars to conduct a feasibility study 1. The project, to be privately financed by Perdaman, would represent the nation's third major petrol refinery 1.
Australia's decision reflects growing concerns about energy security and inflation pressures. The country currently imports approximately 90 percent of its liquid fuel, leaving it exposed to international market disruptions 1. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has warned that escalation of Middle East conflict poses a "major threat" to global inflation, a concern underscored by recent fuel price increases—gasoline rose 25 cents and diesel 50 cents this month 1. The federal government has already announced a 10.7 billion Australian dollar fuel security package, which includes 10 million dollars to support feasibility studies for such projects 1.
While Perdaman will lead the project's private financing, it may also access taxpayer support through mechanisms such as concessional loans 1. The refinery is planned for Western Australia.
