Magyar Péter: The Mol refinery can start operating at full capacity around September 20th.
The Mol refinery in Százhalombatta is expected to begin full-capacity operational testing on September 22nd. Magyar Péter and Hernádi Zsolt also attended the press conference. The low water level on the Danube does not affect the operation of the refinery, as the necessary improvements have already been made. The biggest challenge in the fuel market is diesel supply, due to the lack of Russian diesel exports, which has resulted in a 10-13 percent shortfall, which has also increased prices. Diesel supply is guaranteed in Hungary, but maintaining further diesel imports is crucial.

Supply is assured in Hungary, but maintaining further diesel imports and import parity is crucial to avoid problems.
