Other Information

  • The area served by the refinery is characterised by a high demand for transportation fuels, which the refinery production is not able to meet. As a result, the Rome refinery is also an important logistical base: a certain amount of products, equal to 50% of refinery production, arrives from the outside, using the structure as a transit depot.
