OMV Petrom SA, majority-owned by OMV Aktiengesellschaft, has begun constructing a new plant at the Petrobrazi refinery near Ploiesti, Romania, to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. The plant will process biofeedstocks like used cooking oil and animal fats to create a combined 250,000 tonnes per year of SAF and renewable diesel, along with by-products like bio-naphtha and bio-LPG. This €560 million project will integrate with the refinery's infrastructure, allowing flexibility in production based on market demand and feedstock availability. Additionally, the plant will receive most of its required hydrogen supply from an on-site €190 million hydrogen plant capable of producing green hydrogen through water electrolysis. These initiatives are part of OMV Petrom's €11 billion Strategy 2030 to transition to reduced-carbon operations and support regional mobility needs, with an emphasis on sustainable fuel production. OMV aims to produce 450,000 tpy of renewable diesel and SAF globally by 2030. This investment aligns with OMV's commitment to reach net-zero operations by 2050, demonstrating a positive sentiment towards sustainable energy transition.
