A chemical company shutting down its factory next year is receiving $29.4million from taxpayers to ramp up AdBlue production and avert Australia's diesel crisis.
Incitec Pivot in November announced it would be closing the Gibson Island fertiliser plant in Brisbane in December 2022 - the country's only factory for the main ingredient in AdBlue, a diesel fuel additive which keeps trucks running.
As recently as last Friday, the business emphasised its decision to shareholders, blaming expensive natural gas.
But on Monday, the $6.2billion company's chief executive Jeanne Johns posed in a picture with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Energy Minister Angus Taylor to announce Incitec Pivot would be ramping up the production of refined urea used to make AdBlue.

Without the move, Australia's existing supplies of AdBlue were expected to run out by the middle of January with no new local alternatives, which could stop half the trucks and many utes and four-wheel drives from starting.
Modern diesel engines won't run unless AdBlue is in the exhaust system to filter out nitrogen oxide pollution and service stations like BP are now restricting how much customers can buy.
Incitec Pivot is Australia's only manufacturer of urea melt, the key ingredient in AdBlue, and global supplies are dwindling after China banned fertiliser exports.

The federal Department of Industry and Energy has confirmed the company is getting a $29.4million grant to produce 5,000 tonnes a month of technical grade urea, from the end of January 2022, for domestic AdBlue manufacturers.
'The government is providing Incitec Fertilizers Pty Ltd (IPL) with a grant of $29.4million to secure Australia's domestic supply of AdBlue,' a spokeswoman said.
'On completion of successful tests, IPL expects to commence commercial production by January 2022 for supply to the Australian market.'
On Monday, the $6.2billion company's chief executive Jeanne Johns posed in a picture with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Energy Minister Angus Taylor to announce Incitec Pivot would be ramping up the production of refined urea used to make AdBlue
On December 9, Mr Taylor revealed Australia only had 15million litres of AdBlue in stock, which would only be enough to last until mid-January.
