With Its Updated Long-Term Strategy

includes 16 service stations in Slovakia operated under the Lukoil brand. MOL has also
concluded a deal with Marché International AG to buy the company that operates 9 restaurants in
Hungary under the Marché brand. The agreements fit the Group’s “SHAPE TOMORROW”

updated strategy and serves our aim to become regional leader in fuel and convenience
retailing. In order to reach that, we seek new opportunities with a new determination.
Welcoming the 16 new service stations in Slovakia gives us the opportunity to expand our
presence in the country and to introduce our existing Fresh Corner concept throughout the
new Slovnaft stations. The acquisition of the company operating Marché restaurants in
Hungary creates new perspectives for MOL as well, as it can take its gastro offer to a whole
new level and reach a wider audience with its retail services.” - said Executive Vice President

PKN ORLEN (Poland) has finalized the acquisition of OTP
PKN ORLEN has acquired 100 percent. shares of the OTP transport
company, the largest road carrier of liquid fuels in Poland. The
transaction will enable dynamic development and optimization of
logistics processes. The reconstruction of own transport capacity within
the Group's structures and the planned centralization of road logistics
management will also favorably translate into the results of the ORLEN
Capital Group. In this way, the Concern will definitely strengthen its
position on the road transport market. The acquisition of an experienced
entity with high competences in the field of road transport was preceded
by a thorough analysis of the transport industry and its changes in recent
years. The OTP company was founded on the assets of ORLEN
Transport, the sale of which to the Trans Polonia Group was decided in
2015.
“We are investing in the development of areas that will strengthen the
ORLEN Group's position and translate into profit growth in the long
term. The purchase of the OTP company and the centralization of
transport competences will allow for savings of up to PLN 25 million
per year. That is why we decided to regain prospective transport
assets, the sale of which was made in 2015. The adopted development
direction also creates space for cooperation with the Polish transport
industry. Central management of road logistics additionally requires
building a strong and stable portfolio of external companies, which
will reliably and cost-effectively supplement transport for the
ORLEN Group” said President of the PKN ORLEN Management
Board.

The President of UOKiK will consider PKN ORLEN's (Poland) application to
acquire PGNiG
European Commission decision, PKN ORLEN's request for permission to examine
the acquisition of PGNiG President of the Office of Competition and Consumer
Protection. The transfer of the competence to assess the transaction to the Polish
institution results from the fact that the planned concentration will not have
significant effects on competition outside Poland, and the President of the Office of
Competition and Consumer Protection has been recognized as the most competent
authority to assess such effects on the domestic market. Therefore, PKN ORLEN
plans to notify the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection
of the intention of concentration within a few weeks. The acquisition of PGNiG will
be the next step for PKN ORLEN, after the acquisition of Energa and the consent of
the European Commission to the merger with LOTOS, in building a strong Polish
company with diversified revenues and a significant position on the European
market. As a result of the integration of the assets of PKN ORLEN, Energa, LOTOS
and PGNiG, the total annual revenues of the new concern would amount to approx.
PLN 200 billion. The operating profit EBITDA of the key segments would reach
approx.

obtaining approval for the merger of PKN ORLEN and PGNiG. This is very
important in the context of building a strong multi-energy concern, which will be
a significant entity on the competitive European market. A strong financial
position will also be of key importance to provide capital for investments,
including new gas blocks or offshore wind energy. That is why we implement
important investments and acquisition processes and assume the leading position
in this project. The merger of PKN ORLEN with PGNiG and Lotos is a huge and
only development opportunity for companies, their shareholders, but also
employees and customers.” Says President of the Management Board of PKN

Volkswagen Group and bp (UK) to join forces to expand ultra-fast electric
vehicle charging across Europe
18
Solution Description
Volkswagen and bp announced they intend to work together on extending and speeding up the deployment of ultra-fast electric
vehicle (EV) charging facilities at bp retail sites across the UK, Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Extensive ultra-fast charging
networks are seen by both companies as essential to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. The companies signed a
memorandum of understanding for their collaboration and intend to finalize agreements in coming months. This would bring together
two leading global players in mobility to develop a network of ultra-fast chargers at convenient and high-quality locations – bp sites,
and Aral sites in Germany. The partnership should give EV drivers greater confidence in being able to access nearby, reliable, quality
charging options. bp estimates approximately 90% of people in the UK and Germany live within a 20-minute drive of a bp or Aral
site. The agreement would also make bp the Volkswagen Group’s EV charging partner, with the integration of bp’s charging network
into VW Group vehicles to make finding and paying for charging fast and simple. The network would also be available for other EV
customers as part of the bp pulse network (Aral pulse in Germany), improving access to ultra-fast charging for EV drivers more
widely.

75% post-consumer polystyrene
19
Versalis, Eni's chemical company, is expanding its range of “circular” products, made from recycled raw materials. The Versalis
Revive® portfolio will now include a new product for food packaging made with 75% domestic post-consumer polystyrene. The
product, referred to as Versalis Revive® PS Air F - Series Forever, is the result of the existing collaboration with Forever Plast S.p.A.,
a leading Italian company in the recycling of post-consumer products into high-quality raw materials, and has been developed as part
of a collaborative project with various players in the polystyrene industry value chain: Corepla, ProFood and Unionplast. This
collaboration has given rise to an innovative recyclable tray suitable for food and composed of recycled polystyrene developed by the
companies that are members of Pro Food. The tray consists of an inner layer containing Versalis Revive® PS Air F - Series Forever
and two outer layers made from virgin polystyrene. This structure, known as the A-B-A functional barrier, ensures food contact
compliance. The functional barrier design and stringent testing were developed in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for

Equinor (Norway): Partners have chosen concept for BM-C-33 project in
Brazil
20
Equinor, together with license partners Repsol Sinopec Brasil and Petrobras, have approved the development concept
for BM-C-33, a gas/condensate field located in the Campos Basin pre-salt in Brazil. The well streams will be sent to a
floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO) located at the field. Gas and oil/condensate will both be
processed at the FPSO to sales specifications and exported. Crude will be offloaded by shuttle tankers and shipped to
the international market after ship-to-ship transfer. A new-build hull has been selected to accommodate for 30 years
lifetime of the field. The gas export solution is based on an integrated offshore gas pipeline from the FPSO to a new
dedicated onshore gas receiving facility inside the Petrobras TECAB site at Cabiúnas, before connecting to the
domestic gas transmission network.

Petrobras (Brazil) and partners approve development concept for block
BM-C-33
27
Petrobras approved, together with its partners Equinor and Repsol Sinopec Brasil, the concept of development of the
BM-C-33 block, operated by Equinor, located in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The
block is about 200 km away from the coast and has a water depth of 2,900m. In BM-C-33 three accumulations of gas
and condensate (light oil) were discovered: Pão de Açúcar, SEAT and Gávea. The approved concept is based on
production from wells connected to an FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading unit), with the capacity to
process condensed oil and gas produced and specify them for sale. The transfer of the condensed oil will be carried out
by relief vessels and the natural gas will be exported to the coast through an underwater pipeline that will connect to a

Repsol (Spain) develops smart energy management system that improves
customer efficiency
29
Repsol has developed an energy management system (EMS) that uses artificial intelligence algorithms and advanced optimization to manage
energy efficiently. The device will act on the energy use in the climate control and cold chain logistics processes of commercial and industrial
customers, lowering energy consumption while also reducing CO2 emissions. This initiative is one of many launched by the multi-energy
company in its effort to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. In preliminary stages of development carried out at the Repsol Technology Lab's
microgrid laboratory, the EMS has shown savings of up to 20% of power consumed by climate control systems, rising to 40% in cold chain
logistics applications. The smart management system will now be tested in real-world scenarios through agreements with various industry-leading
partners in different sectors. Each partner presents their own specific characteristics which, together, will help complete development in a diverse
variety of environments. The first large sports facility to test out the EMS will be the San Mamés Stadium, where Athletic Club de Bilbao football
team plays their home games. Saving energy has always been a priority for the club and it was one of the premises during the construction of the
stadium, which first opened in 2013 and in 2016 became the first European football stadium to receive the prestigious LEED Gold Certification
for Sustainable Buildings. Now, with Repsol's EMS, it can continue improving the efficiency of its climate control systems.

Schlumberger (USA) New Energy Venture to Launch a Lithium Ex-
traction Pilot Plant in Nevada
30
Schlumberger New Energy announced the development of a lithium extraction pilot plant through its new venture, NeoLith Energy. The
deployment of the pilot plant will be in Clayton Valley, Nevada, USA. The NeoLith Energy sustainable approach uses a differentiated direct
lithium extraction (DLE) process to enable the production of high-purity, battery-grade lithium material while reducing the production time
from over a year to weeks. This innovative process can create new market opportunities for lithium extraction and battery manufacturing
economy, and maximize the value of the lithium-rich resource base in Nevada with cutting-edge extraction technology. The demand for
battery-grade lithium is projected to grow exponentially, driven by growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market. As EVs greatly depend on
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, sustainable and efficient lithium production has become an important topic for regions, industries, and
technology companies, as well as battery and large automotive manufacturers. NeoLith Energy’s pilot plant is a step towards a full-scale,
commercial lithium production facility. The pilot plant results will be used to optimize the design of the full-scale production plant. The
production plant will utilize an environmentally friendly method for subsurface brine extraction and lithium production that requires a
significantly smaller footprint and reduces water consumption by over 85% compared to current methods for lithium extraction from brine.

Horns Rev 2, which came out of subsidy in October 2020. Danfoss' target to become carbon-neutral globally in 2030 is built on three main
strategies. Firstly, Danfoss continues to invest in energy-efficient solutions significantly lowering the heating and electricity consumption
in all factories worldwide. Secondly, Danfoss will pursue opportunities to connect its factories to local district heating networks to
purchase heat produced from renewable energy sources and thereby phase out the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels, but also to
recover excess heating from Danfoss' production processes and feed it back into the district heating network - often referred to as sector
coupling. Thirdly, Danfoss wants to buy green electricity from professional partners like Ørsted, who can guarantee the electricity
originates from renewable sources. Through this agreement with Ørsted covering all Danfoss' factories in Denmark and Germany,
Danfoss can offset carbon emissions corresponding to approx. 31,000 tonnes a year or about 12% of the company's total emissions in their
scope 2 accounting, according to the green house protocol that regulates carbon accounting globally.

Innovative, sustainable technology developed by BASF and OMV (Austria):
New ISO C4 plant in Burghausen/Germany starts production
47
With the commissioning of OMV´s new ISO C4 plant at the Burghausen site, the collaboration between the world’s largest chemical
company, BASF, and OMV, the international, integrated oil, gas and chemical company headquartered in Vienna, has reached a new
milestone. The plant is based on a novel technology developed jointly by the two companies and has been producing high-purity
isobutene since the end of 2020. The plant’s exceptional energy efficiency saves 20,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. Up
to 80% of the heating energy required for the new process can be met by thermal discharge from an existing associated facility thanks
to a heat integration approach. The energy-efficient process for the production of isobutene, achieving up to 99.9 % purity, was
developed in cooperation between BASF and OMV and a worldwide patent application was filed jointly by the two companies. As a
global supplier of catalysts and licensor of petrochemicals technologies, BASF provides the catalyst and reaction concept that
intrinsically fulfils all process requirements by OMV. The new unit for the production of high-purity isobutene, which does not need
chemical conversion of isobutene, has been integrated into the existing metathesis plant at OMV’s Burghausen site.
