Out of the total domestic market of raw petroleum coke (sponge), the domestic demand of which is estimated at one million tons per year, about 570 thousand tons are used in aluminum production industries, which according to the type of raw materials that are available in the domestic market. This part of the market is the target of this project. The construction site of the crude petroleum coke project is 15 hectares of land purchased in the Special Economic Zone of the Persian Gulf, Bandar Abbas, and next to the Bandar Abbas Oil Refining Company, which leading to suitable conditions for the project in terms of access to raw materials.

This project has been defined and started for the first time in Iran. For this reason, the technical knowledge and license to produce this product has been obtained from a reputable Chinese company.
