Rossi Biofuel and MOL Group have built a biodiesel component manufacturing plant in Komárom, Hungary. With this investment, the companies have launched technology in Europe that can increase greenhouse gas savings by more than 85%. The capacity of the plant is 50,000 tons of biodiesel per year.
It is the first in Europe to use RepCat technology, which allows the processing of fatty wastes of various kinds and origins, such as used cooking oils, waste fats, animal fats or residues from the production of vegetable oils.
Oszkár Világi, Mol Group Deputy Ceo, said:
We are introducing a unique technology in Europe that allows us to produce biofuel from almost all types of fats.
“This is a huge success for all of us, because the circular economy is one of the cornerstones of MOL Group’s updated strategy. The energy transition is a long and complex process, but this investment clearly shows that conventional fuels can be replaced with greener ones with the right technology and waste use.”
