Product Development

Fuel quality development is driven by efforts to protect the environment whilst providing high quality products to our customers.

In line with EU regulations and market demands, producers must further reduce emission resulting from the use of their products in vehicles, especially the quantity of gases responsible for the greenhouse effect (primarily CO2). This implies specific changes in the composition and properties of fuels in parallel with improvements in the evolution of engine construction.

To strengthen our regional position we continued the launch of bio-component blended fuels in our main markets. Hungarian market introduction of bio-diesel containing diesel took place in the year 2008, while ethanol containing gasoline has been marketed since 2007. Slovnaft introduced B5 to the Slovak market in 2005; E5 (only ETBE) in 2006 and in 2011 introduced direct ethanol blended gasoline.

MOL leads a research project to develop second generation bio-fuel technology. The consortium’s target is to make a wide range of feedstock available for production, using large quantities of non-edible vegetable oils and used cooking oils as base material for producing bio-diesel component. The project has been finished with full success by the end of 2009. Large scale testing is under development.

In addition, the field of non-fuel products is characterized by continuous, innovative quality development, to meet ever-evolving market demand and regulatory requirements. Last years’ successful rubber modified bitumen test runs and experimental road construction (Hungary and Slovakia) proved the efficiency and applicability of rubber modified bitumen.
Communication has been started with local governments to facilitate the rubber modified bitumen market introduction.

Gasolines

Developments in gasoline quality are driven by ever-increasing efforts to protect the environment. In line with legal regulations, motor vehicle manufacturers are expected to further reduce vehicle emissions, especially the quantity of emitted gases responsible for the greenhouse-gas effect (primarily carbon-dioxide) step-by-step.
