9:37Now PlayingGrangemouth refinery has ceased producing crude oil for the final time, owner Petroineos has confirmed.
Politicians in Scotland have argued the government has acted unfairly by saving the British Steel plant in Scunthorpe, but letting the oil refinery shut with the loss of 430 jobs.
It also means Scotland no longer has any working oil refineries.
Steve Reed, the environment secretary, says the government has invested £200m in retraining workers so they can take on jobs when the refinery becomes a distribution and imports hub.
