Group Activities

The Saras Group operates in the energy sector and is one of the leading independent oil refiners in Europe. The Sarroch refinery, on the coast south-west of Cagliari, is one of the biggest in the Mediterranean in terms of production capacity (15 million tonnes per year, equal to 300,000 barrels per day) and one of the most advanced plants in terms of complexity (11.7 on the Nelson Index). Located in a strategic position in the middle of the Mediterranean, the refinery is owned and managed by the subsidiary Sarlux Srl and is a reference model in terms of efficiency and environmental sustainability, due to its technological know-how, expertise and human resources acquired over fifty years of activity. To best exploit these resources, Saras has introduced a business model based on the integration of its supply chain through close coordination between refinery operations and commercial activities. This context also includes the subsidiary Saras Trading SA, incorporated in Geneva in September 2015, which acquires crude and other raw materials for the Group's refinery, sells its refined products and also performs trading activities, with headquarters in one of the main markets for trading oil commodities.

The Group sells and distributes oil products directly and through its subsidiaries, such as diesel, gasoline, diesel fuel for heating, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), virgin naphtha, fuel for aviation and bunkering, mainly on the Italian and Spanish markets, but also in various other European and non-European countries. In particular, in 2020 approximately 1.91 million tonnes of petroleum products were sold in Italy on the wholesale market and a further 1.05 million tonnes were sold on the Spanish market.

In the early 2000s, the Saras Group also undertook the task of producing and selling electricity by means of an IGCC plant (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle), which has an installed power of 575 MW and is also managed by the subsidiary Sarlux Srl. The IGCC plant uses the refinery's heavy products as feedstock and the plant generates over 4 billion kWh of electricity each year, which corresponds to approximately 48% of the electricity requirements in Sardinia.

In Sardinia, the Group produces and sells electricity from renewable sources through the Ulassai wind farm (installed capacity of 126MW), which has been in operation since 2005 and is managed by the subsidiary Sardeolica Srl. Furthermore, on June 4th, 2021, Sardeolica Srl acquired from GWM Renewable Energy SpA 100% of the shares of Energia Verde Srl and Energia Alternativa Srl, owners of two wind farms located in Macchiareddu, Cagliari (Sardinia), for a total installed capacity of 45 MW; thus bringing Saras' Group total wind installed capacity to 171 MW.

Lastly, the Group provides industrial engineering and research services to the petroleum, energy and environment industries, via its subsidiary Sartec Srl.
