The companies of our trading subsidiary Mabanaft do business
around the world, trading in diesel, gasoline, heating oil, heavy
fuel oil, jet fuel, lubricants, bitumen and other petroleum
products. The focuses of their business include heating oil
retail, an extensive network of service stations, and the fuelling
of ships. We also trade in liquefied petroleum gas, coal, as well
as biofuels.
Flexibility, stringent risk management and a clear focus on
physical oil trading are the cornerstones of our trading busi-
ness. Also, Mabanaft can rely on a good infrastructure, which
beyond the tank terminals of its sister company Oiltanking
includes many more delivery outlets. This ensures a compre-
hensive, quick and flexible supply of goods to customers.

Into-Plane Fuelling
Commercial aviation fuelling is carried out directly on the airport ramp; the fuel is pumped into the plane
using a fuel truck or delivered via a hydrant system and a dispenser.
Skytanking handles the entire fuelling process for its customers, and contributes to short ground times by
ensuring the timely fuelling of aircraft – from passenger aircraft to cargo planes, private jets and helicopters.
Safety is always the primary focus.
Every year, the Skytanking fleet of approximately 300 fuelling vehicles fuels more than 13 billion litres of jet
fuel – the equivalent of about two fuellings per minute.

At many airports Skytanking operates its own airport tank

behalf of airports, airlines and oil companies. Some of these
are BOOT contracts (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer), where
Skytanking is responsible for the financing, design, con
struction and operation of fuel depots and hydrant systems.
This underlines the company’s technical as well as financial
expertise.

For years, renewable energies have been a growing part of the

this field since the mid-1990s via several of its subsidiaries –
especially in the biogas sector.
B io gas Pro du ct io n an d Dist ribu t io n
Our Mabagas subsidiary produces biogas from organic residue
and waste. Mabagas deliberately refrains from using energy
crops at its plants to avoid competition with food production.
Currently, the company operates biogas plants in Germany
and India. In addition to producing electricity, Mabagas also
focuses on the production of fertilizer for agricultural use.
Pro vidin g B io gas
In Germany, biogas is currently offered as a vehicle fuel in
the form of bio-CNG (compressed natural gas) at ten selected
OIL! service stations and another independent service
station. The advantages are convincing: Bio-CNG is virtually
carbon-neutral and at the same time protects finite fossil
natural gas resources.
4:22 PM, Namakkal | The things you can make from chicken manure: At
our plant in India we use it to produce biogas, which we then convert into
electricity. The energy generated is sufficient to meet the annual require-
ments of the equivalent of 5,000 Indian households.
