The INA Rijeka Refinery Upgrade Project marks a transformational moment for Croatia’s energy infrastructure. In this episode, we dive deep into the largest industrial investment in INA’s history — a nearly €700 million modernization that reshapes refinery capacity, increases diesel and high-value product output, and strengthens national and regional energy security.

Join us as we break down:
