The company said: “We note that early in the morning, around 7.30 am, Extinction Rebellion blocked the entrances to INEOS office on Inchyra Road in Grangemouth.

“The group demands a transition away from fossil fuels. INEOS respects the right to peacefully protest in a responsible and safe manner, but notes over the 10 years between 2009 and 2019, carbon dioxide emissions from the INEOS Grangemouth site have reduced by 37% and from the chemical business by 43%.”
