The company produces gasoline, diesel, jet and marine fuels, heating oil, LPG, bitumen, and petrochemical feedstocks such as naphtha and propylene, alongside sulfur and other by-products. Its operations span crude and intermediate processing (including hydrotreating, catalytic processes, and cracking), logistics, and supply to wholesale and retail channels.

Preem is also developing lower‑carbon products by co-processing and producing renewable fuels, including hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), using bio‑based and waste/residue feedstocks. The company’s initiatives focus on reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from transport fuels while maintaining compatibility with existing fuel infrastructure.
