Vilnius. Today in Vilnius City Hall, the President of the Republic of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus has awarded the General Director of AB Mažeikių Nafta Marek Mroczkowski with the gold medal for the Lithuanian Product of the Year. The Company was given the top award of the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists for the emulsified fuel.
 
The Company’s newest product, created by the specialists of AB Mažeikių Nafta and Quadrise Fuels International, was produced and successfully tested in Lietuvos Elektrinė company this year in summer.

The new fuel is similar to the orimulsion, earlier used in Lietuvos Elektrinė and imported from Venezuela. However, transportation and storage of the emulsified fuel produced by the Company is easier than of orimulson. Additionally, the Company’s product contains less sulfur compounds and other harmful substances than orimulsion; therefore it will contribute to air pollution reduction.
 
“We are proud of such high recognition of the work of our Company’s specialists, — said M. Mroczkowski. — We hope that our product will contribute to reduction of dependence on gas and, because of its price, it will be a good alternative to heavy fuel oil.”

This new product helps in solving a number of environmental problems and, based on its quality features and application possibilities, it may be considered as an alternative fuel.
