Creation of an Advanced, Automated Unit for the Production of AdBio Blue

This project is only possible thanks to European Union support — ERDF, through Norte 2030 and COMPETE 2030 under Portugal 2030 — and to the backing of Régia Douro Park and the City of Vila Real. Creation of an advanced, automated industrial unit for AdBio Blue production, with innovative Industry 4.0 and climate‑transition processes, aimed at reducing NOx emissions from diesel engines.

Why AdBio Blue

Cleaner air on the road

Diesel engines release nitrogen oxides (NOx), a leading cause of urban smog, acid rain and respiratory disease. The SCR system (Selective Catalytic Reduction) injects AdBio Blue into the exhaust stream, where urea converts to ammonia and reacts with NOx in the catalyst. What leaves the tailpipe is nitrogen and water vapour — the same components as the air we breathe.

That reaction is what lets heavy and light vehicles meet Euro 4, 5 and 6. There is also an indirect climate benefit: with SCR handling NOx downstream, the engine can be tuned to burn more efficiently, using less fuel and emitting less CO₂ per kilometre.

Production

Made in Vila Real, on an automated line

GDM Petro's plant at the Constantim industrial estate was purpose‑built to produce AdBio Blue: stainless‑steel tanks, automated mixing and dosing, and urea concentration checked on every batch with a digital refractometer.

Dedicated storage and transport ensure the product reaches you with the same purity it left the line — protecting your vehicle's SCR catalyst and injector.
