The ORLEN Group has begun selling its HVO100 fuel at two gas stations in Germany and plans to expand further to other stations across Germany in the near future.
HVO100 is a second-generation biofuel derived from vegetable oils as well as waste products from the food and hospitality industries, including used cooking oil. The innovative fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 percent compared to conventional fossil fuels and can be used in most diesel-engined vehicles without any modifications.
The ORLEN Group is also making strides in marketing HVO100 in the Czech Republic, where the necessary legal framework is already in place. Wholesale sales in this market are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025, and preparations are underway at the Paramo terminal in Pardubice, which will serve as a distribution center for the product. In addition, the Company is exploring the possibility of expanding sales of HVO100 into the retail segment of the Czech market.
