Radu Căprău, an OMV Petrom Board of Directors member responsible for refining and marketing activities, said: “2024 is a special year for the Petrobrazi refinery. We are celebrating 90 years since we set Romania in motion and we 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 in Petrobrazi, of EUR 2 billion until 2030, we will continue to provide our customers with quality fuels and biofuels.”

OMV Petrom announced last week its decision to invest around EUR 750 million in a production facility for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO), as well astwo green hydrogen production plants.
