Slovnaft has become the first industrial company in Slovakia to reduce CO₂ emissions by purchasing biomethane through the Renewable Gas Registry run by SPP – distribúcia distribution company. The refinery also received a Guarantee of Origin certifying the gas's renewable source.
This step supports Slovnaft’s decarbonization goals and may serve as a model for future renewable gas trading under the EU’s Emissions Trading System. It is also the first company within the MOL Group to use such a system.
Biomethane, produced from biodegradable waste, is nearly identical to natural gas and can be used in existing infrastructure. SPP – distribúcia distribution company currently operates two biomethane plants, with more planned.
The registry has already certified over 100 GWh of renewable gas and plays a key role in boosting transparency and meeting EU energy standards.
