During 2015 raw materials consumption has remained virtually unchanged with respect to 2014.

Thanks to the energy efficiency mea- sures implemented in Exploration and Production, Refining and Petrochemi- cals, we have succeeded in reducing direct energy consumption by 1.5% compared to 2014, down to 82.75 GJ. Indirect energy consumption has re-

mained constant at 8.2 GJ. It should be noted that 11% of the electricity con- sumed is supplied by the Gas and Elec- tricity area to refineries, petrochemical plants and the Marketing and Distri- bution area, being certified as 100% green energy.
