- OMV Aktiengesellschaft functions as an integrated energy, fuels, and chemicals company with a significant global presence, headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The firm is strategically transforming its operations towards sustainable energy solutions, advanced chemicals, and innovative materials, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. The company operates through three distinct segments: Energy, Fuels & Feedstock, and Chemicals & Materials. The Energy segment is involved in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas, primarily across Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the North Sea. It also manages gas marketing, trading, and storage in various European countries, runs a gas-fired power plant in Romania, and spearheads low-carbon initiatives such as geothermal energy, renewable electricity generation, and carbon capture and storage. The Fuels & Feedstock division focuses on refining crude oil and sustainable feedstocks into essential products, including fuels for diverse transport sectors and key petrochemical raw materials. This segment operates three European refineries located in Austria, Germany, and Romania, complementing a retail network of approximately 1,700 service stations across eight European nations. Additionally, it holds an interest in ADNOC Refining and Global Trading in the UAE. The Chemicals & Materials segment delivers advanced and circular polyolefin solutions, encompassing polyethylene, polypropylene, and various base chemicals, alongside actively engaging in plastics recycling. This segment benefits from OMV's 75% stake in Borealis, a leading global polyolefin producer, and through its joint ventures like Borouge and Baystar™. Recent strategic moves include a binding agreement with ADNOC to merge Borealis and Borouge into Borouge Group International, with plans for the new entity to acquire Nova Chemicals. OMV is deeply committed to sustainability, evidenced by ongoing investments in green hydrogen production, sustainable aviation fuels, and advanced chemical recycling technologies.
