- OMV Petrom, a major energy producer in Southeast Europe, has signed financing contracts for two green hydrogen production facilities with a total capacity of 55 MW at the Petrobrazi refinery in Romania.
- These contracts, concluded with the Romanian Ministry of Energy, have a maximum financing value of EUR 50 million, while the overall investment amounts to approximately EUR 140 million.

Approximately 35% of these investments will be allocated to projects supporting low and zero-carbon emissions. We have made significant progress in renewable energy and electromobility initiatives, and the addition of hydrogen to our low-carbon project portfolio further illustrates our dedication," stated Christina Verchere, CEO of OMV Petrom.
- The proposed projects seek to establish two water electrolysis plants, each with capacities of 35 MW and 20 MW, respectively, at the Petrobrazi refinery.

Quick Glance: Former Romanian President Ion Iliescu May Face Trial for Crimes Against Humanity
- After more than 33 years, the Bucharest Court of Appeal has ruled that Ion Iliescu and two other key actors can be judged for crimes against humanity.
- In February, the Supreme Court (ICCJ) decided to transfer the Revolution file to the Court of Appeal, as it would have jurisdiction over the case since Ion Iliescu was not the president of Romania at that time.
- This is the latest development in the case involving former president Ion Iliescu, who is alleged to be the mastermind behind the unjustified crimes that occurred after the overthrow of Nicolae Ceausescu on December 22, 1989, and before the establishment of new authorities on December 30 of the same year.
- During the 8-day period when the country was under the interim leadership of Ion Iliescu, 857 people died, 2,382 people were severely injured, and many more were mistreated, labeled as 'terrorists' under wartime regulations.
