MOL Group, a leading player in the energy sector in Central and Eastern Europe, has unveiled its latest endeavour in sustainable energy solutions with the creation of the “Low Carbon and New Energies” branch within its Exploration and Production division in Zagreb, Croatia.
With a dedicated focus on reducing carbon footprint and pioneering renewable energy initiatives, the Low Carbon and New Energies branch will address sustainability-related challenges and launch new business streams. The organisation will spearhead multiple initiatives aimed at diversifying MOL Group’s energy portfolio, targeting the reduction of CO2 and methane emissions and minimising environmental impact.
Commenting on the launch of the Low Carbon and New Energies branch, Zsombor Marton, Executive Vice President of MOL Group Exploration and Production, stated: “We recognise the need for sustainable energy solutions to address the challenges of our times. We will build on our century-long knowledge and subsurface expertise in the new and non-traditional business lines, in order to contribute to MOL Group’s decarbonisation efforts laid down in the recently updated ‘Shape Tomorrow strategy’. The establishment of the Low Carbon and New Energies organisation underscores our commitment to environmental responsibility. We are excited to embark on this journey towards a more sustainable future.
“Among the key projects under the Low Carbon and New Energies branch is geothermal energy production. Leveraging advanced technology and expertise, MOL Group’s Exploration and Production will harness the Earth’s natural heat to generate clean and renewable energy. This initiative underscores MOL Group’s dedication to sustainable energy solutions. In recent months, two geothermal exploration licences were awarded to MOL in Hungary, and two to INA in Croatia.
