Mabanaft, a leading independent energy company, has announced an exciting development in its commitment to decarbonizing mobility. The company has successfully secured storage for its HVO100 (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) at VTTI’s ATPC terminal in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Belgium.
This strategic move not only strengthens Mabanaft’s position in the energy transition but also allows the redistribution of HVO across Germany and Europe, playing a pivotal role in driving sustainable mobility. This initiative aligns with Mabanaft’s proactive engagement in the energy transition, focusing on economically, environmentally, and socially responsible business practices.
HVO, a biofuel produced from waste and residue oils and fats, is a key component in the effort to decarbonize maritime transportation.
The collaboration with VTTI, a global leader in independent energy storage and critical energy infrastructure development, marks a significant step forward for both companies. VTTI, fueled by the purpose “Energy to Move Tomorrow,” is dedicated to providing safe and expanded access to energy, accelerating the transition to sustainable sources.
Mabanaft expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, anticipating a strong collaboration with VTTI in Antwerp. This venture not only underscores Mabanaft’s commitment to driving the energy transition but also highlights the importance of collaborative efforts in achieving a carbon-neutral future.
