The Société Ivoirienne de Raffinage (SIR), Ivory Coast’s principal oil refinery operator, has announced that it will initiate an energy transition study aimed at reducing carbon emissions within the nation’s energy sector. The study is part of a broader strategic move to enhance energy efficiency and to reconfigure production practices to comply with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
The forthcoming energy transition strategy will be structured around three fundamental pillars: safety, governance, and economic viability. In addition to modernizing operational procedures at the refinery, SIR plans to overhaul both onshore and offshore logistics systems, fostering sustainable growth in Ivory Coast’s energy industry. The study is slated to begin this month, with the resulting transition plan expected to be submitted to SIR’s board of directors for further action.
