"The transition towards reduced and zero carbon emissions. We aim to reduce the intensity of carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2019 (2022, preliminary data: 11% decrease compared to 2019). Alternative mobility: the continuation of the expansion of the electric vehicle charging network, with plans to double the existing number of charging points (at the end of 2022: 120 fast and ultra-fast charging points installed). Green energy sources in fuel stations: we plan to install photovoltaic panels in 50% of our network of fuel stations by 2025 (at the end of 2022: panels in 150 fuel stations). Progress in the development of a portfolio of renewable electricity through partnerships. The development of projects in the direction of the production of sustainable fuel for aviation and bio-ethanol of the second generation", the report states.

The company has planned investments of RON 6 billion (€1.2 billion) for this year, approximately 70% higher, mainly dedicated to the Neptun Deep project, the acceleration of projects with low and zero carbon emissions, as well as the planned overhaul of the Petrobrazi refinery.
