OMV Petrom invests €800.000 in AdBlue production plant
The AdBlue produced will initially be sold exclusively at OMV and Petrom service stations in Romania.
OMV Petrom has started producing AdBlue in Romania following an investment of €800.000 in a new production facility south of Bucharest.
In the first phase, AdBlue will be sold at OMV and Petrom service stations in Romania; starting next year, it will be also sold in other networks. OMV Petrom is the largest integrated energy company in South-Eastern Europe.
With an increasing number of commercial vehicles in Romania, there is growing demand for AdBlue in the market.
"The start of AdBlue production was a priority for us as we expect the demand for this product to increase. We expect the demand for AdBlue in the Romanian market will increase by over 30% by 2027 compared to this year, to a level of about 130 million liters,” said Radu Căprău, Member of the Directorate responsible for Refining & Marketing.
AdBlue is a standard product used for modern diesel engines. It is composed of about 1/3 urea and 2/3 demineralized water.
The energy group has a network of around 790 service stations stations operating under the OMV and Petrom brands.
