Mobility of the future

It is a key objective of the European Union to promote the sustainable use of biomass as an energy source. For us, that means we produce sustainable BioDiesel from used cooking oil.

We are Austria's largest BioDiesel producer, with more than 200,000 tonnes of waste-based biofuel (fatty acid methyl esters, or FAME for short) every year at our sites in Vienna and Styria.

We offer our customers advanced biofuel made from raw materials listed in Annex IX of the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive. In Austria, proof of sustainability is provided via the electronic system elNa, which is managed by the country’s Federal Environment Agency.
