Risk of unavailability or limited availability of natural gas

– Currently, natural gas is the refinery's main energy carrier; through the refinery's fuel gas network it is fed to process furnaces and, separately, to the CHP plant. Natural gas is also a feedstock processed at two hydrogen production plants. If the risk materialises, it could temporarily affect sales of selected products and result in higher operating costs. To reduce the potential impact of this risk, we continue to maintain infrastructure allowing us to revert to the fuels which we used before natural gas was introduced at the refinery.
