Energy to move

What are fuels?

Fuels are liquid or gaseous energy sources that are used in combustion engines to generate energy. They form the basis for mobility, logistics, construction processes and agricultural and industrial applications.

In a commercial context, it is not just about energy, but also about availability, compliance with standards and predictable procurement. Different applications require specific fuel qualities - for example for road vehicles, machines, ships or stationary equipment.

In addition to conventional products such as diesel or petrol, alternative options such as HVO are becoming increasingly important. These can often be used without technical adjustments and expand the scope for action in operation.

The selection of the right fuel depends on several factors: Engine technology, operating conditions, storage capability and regulatory framework conditions.

Typical applications

Fuels are used in different areas, each of which places specific demands on quality and logistics.
