Top Industry Leaders in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Market
In 2024, BPCL launched the first mobile dispenser of Adblue in Kolkata. This dispenser is powered by a battery and, therefore, eliminates the need for commercial vehicle hubs and fuel stations to invest in Adblue filling stations.
January 2022: The acquisition of BP's retail network, wholesale fuel business, and logistical assets by TotalEnergies will help the company grow in Mozambique. The deal includes a network of 26 gas stations, a client list of businesses, and 50% of SAMCOL, the logistics firm that formerly belonged to TotalEnergies and BP and manages the Matola, Beira, and Nacala gasoline import terminals. This growth will support the company's diesel exhaust fluid product sales.
November 2022: OMV Petrom started the local production of AdBlue, following an investment of approximately EUR 800.000AdBlue usage reduces nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines by up to 90%OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy company in South-Eastern Europe, has begun production of AdBlue, an essential product for reducing emissions of diesel engines. In the first phase, AdBlue will be sold in OMV and Petrom filling stations and starting next year it will be also sold in other networks.The company thus meets the growing demand for this product, amid the increase in the number of commercial vehicles in Romania.Radu Căprău, Member of the Directorate responsible for Refining & Marketing: "The start of AdBlue production was a priority for us as we expect the demand for this product to increase. We expect the demand for AdBlue in the Romanian market will increase by over 30% by 2027 compared to this year, to a level of about 130 million liters."AdBlue is a standard product used for modern diesel engines. It is composed of about 1/3 urea and 2/3 demineralized water. The new production capacity is located in the south of Bucharest, and the investments necessary for the project amounted to approximately EUR 800.000.
December 2021: Brisbane chemical manufacturer Incitec Pivot Limited has announced an agreement with the Australian Government to ramp up urea production and shore-up the country’s dwindling stockpile of diesel vehicle additive AdBlue.Energy Minister Angus Taylor announced today the loftily named AdBlue Taskforce had reached agreement with the company to boost its local production and storage of Technical Grade Granular Urea (TGU), an ingredient in the additive that reduces nitrous oxide particles.The taskforce is interestingly enough led by Chair of Manufacturing Australia and former Incitec Pivot CEO James Fazzino, along with former Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company Andrew Liveris, and Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley.Incitec Pivot will now be in a position to supply quantities needed by current suppliers, Minister Taylor’s office said, adding it would by extension make the local supply chain more resilient, and give the logistics industry some desperately needed supply certainty.
