Cremona

The Italian Cremona refinery is an inland refinery located in the Po valley, Italy’s most industrialised area.

The refinery receives crude oil at the port of Genoa. Crude oil discharged at Genoa for Tamoil is pumped through the Genoa-Ferrera-Cremona pipeline to a storage plant at Ferrera, and then on to Cremona.

The refinery is connected to the market via pipelines, rail and roads. The maximisation of the use of pipelines and rail links contributes to logistic costs reductions.

In 2006, a new railway terminal was completed at the refinery. This has led to significant improvements, both in terms of costs and emissions, to wholesale transport activities.

Over the years, significant investments have been made by Tamoil in order to increase the capacity and efficiency of the refinery and to produce cleaner fuels.

Today, the refinery has an integrated processing system allowing it to produce a full range of products: liquefied petroleum gas, virgin naphtha for petrochemical plants, jet fuel, petrol, diesel oil, gas oil for heating systems and low sulphur fuel oil.

The Cremona refinery produces high performance fuels:

• a high octane petrol for high performance petrol engines,
• Ecòplus,  a premium diesel that significantly cuts down emissions and increases engine performance.
  

The Cremona refinery’s overall processing capacity is approximately 96 thousand barrels per day, while its storage capacity is 100 tanks totalling approximately 900,000 cubic metres.
