Total CAPEX
In EUR mn
Chemicals & Materials CAPEX increased mainly due to investments in the construction of the new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant in Belgium, which included non-cash effective CAPEX related to leases in the amount of around EUR 0.5 bn and equity injection into Borouge 4 LLC to finance the Borouge 4 project. Furthermore, the CAPEX increase was driven by the construction of the ReOil® demo plant in Austria.
The increase in Refining & Marketing CAPEX was driven by turnaround activities, repair works at the Schwechat refinery, as well as investments in the co-processing unit at Schwechat.
The increase in Exploration & Production CAPEX was mainly related to investments in Romania, Malaysia and New Zealand.
