Due to the nature of Grupa LOTOS operations, it may use recycled products only to a limited extent. Each of the LOTOS Group companies involved in production activity is subject to the statutory obligation of disposing of the used material for recycling via external Recycling Organizations. However, the potential of reuse of the recycled products is also very limited in this case.

EN 5 Volume of energy saved through maintenance/overhauls of infrastructure and the improved energy efficiency of tools used before

In 2009, an IT system of energy consumption visualization and optimization – Visual Mesa by Soteica – was launched at the refinery in Gdańsk. The programme provides non-stop monitoring of the power infrastructure of the refinery – the systems of gas and fuel oil as well as process steam – and suggest changes to the power system based on optimization algorithms, which result in the reduced costs of operations. It is difficult to estimate the impact of the programme for optimising the energy system of the refinery on the savings in energy consumption, because 2009 was the year of continuous changes in the power system – new production systems were started together with new elements of the power media and auxiliary system. It is not possible to estimate the energy consumption had the system not been introduced. According to estimates before the launch, the optimization reduces energy consumption by 2-3%, which for 2009 would mean the reduction of energy consumption by almost 300,000 GJ, i.e. burning about 6,800 tonnes of fuel oil less.

EN 6 Initiatives undertaken to provide products and services that are energy efficient and based on renewable energy and reductions of power requirements due to such measures

Fuel products produced by Grupa LOTOS are composed according to the requirements of the National Index Target concerning the share of renewable raw materials in road fuels. Both gasoline and diesel oil contain biocomponents produced with renewable sources. A scientific discussion continues about the impact of biocomponent application on the reduction of emission, therefore Grupa LOTOS will introduce the Life Cycle Assessment ( LCA ) analysis, which tests energy consumption during the whole production chain.
