A new direction for energy: Solvachem and ExxonMobil replace Russian gas with American isobutane
Solvachem Sp.Z.o.o’s business relationship with ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Limited (EMAPPL), has led to the expansion of our operations. On February 4th, 2026, the first ship carrying US-origin isobutane purchased by solvachem Sp. z o.o. arrived at the port of Wilhelmshaven. The whole volume will be finally sold to Elkom-Gaz Z. Sobieralski sp. k., which will purify and refine the gas. After processing, the product will be available to end customers. EMAPPL’s gas supplies will replace sanctioned Russian-origin gas, The signing of the first contract with EMAPPL was possible thanks to constructive negotiations led by CEO Elisabeth Luerenbaum and specialist Waldemar Chromiec. But we don’t intend to stop at this initial transaction.
All inquiries regarding the purchase of isobutane can be sent directly to Waldemar Chromiec waldemar.chromiec@solvachem.com
