“2024 is a special year for the Petrobrazi refinery. We are celebrating 90 years since we set Romania in motion and are preparing for the future of transport. The energy transition means a mix of solutions: traditional fuels, biofuels and electric mobility. And through the investments we are making at Petrobrazi, of 2 billion euros until 2030, we will continue to provide our customers with quality fuels and biofuels,” said Radu Caprau, member of the OMV Petrom directorate, responsible for the Refining and Marketing activity.
OMV Petrom is launching an extensive investment and modernization program on the Petrobrazi platform, which will transform the refinery into a modern industrial unit capable of producing both traditional fuels and next-generation biofuels.
OMV Petrom recently announced the decision to invest around EUR750 million in a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO) production facility and two green hydrogen production facilities. Thus, starting in 2028, the company will be able to supply up to 250,000 tons of biofuels annually.
Petrobrazi is the first refinery in the country certified to produce SAF and HVO through the co-processing of biological raw materials.
