What en2x does

en2x — Wirtschaftsverband Fuels und Energie e.V. — is the Berlin-headquartered German trade association (eingetragener Verein) for the fuels and energy sector, founded in 2021 through the merger of Institut für Wärme und Mobilität e.V. (IWO) and Mineralölwirtschaftsverband e.V. (MWV). Its membership roster spans the full German mineral-oil value chain: integrated majors (Shell Deutschland, TotalEnergies, BP Europa, OMV, Esso, Phillips 66, ORLEN), mid-sized German refiners (Raffinerie Heide, VAROPreem), international traders (Gunvor, Holborn, JET Energy Trading, Mitsubishi, MOL Germany, BMV), downstream retail operators (Aral/BP, AVIA, team AG), and adjacent industrial-gas and clean-fuel producers (Air Products, Neste, Nynas, OG clean fuels, ENILIVE, MB Energy). The organisation explicitly covers seven market segments: motorised individual transport, heavy-duty road transport, aviation, heating, chemical feedstocks, refining/production, and import/trade.

The association's deliverables are non-technological services: industry statistics (fuel prices, crude-oil references, mineral-oil sales volumes, gas-station counts which fell from 14,459 in 2021 to 14,064 at the start of 2024), commissioned academic studies (notably a 2024 DBFZ biomass-potential analysis), position papers, logistics guidance documents for dangerous-goods transport, member newsletters, and conference programming. Its brand doctrine — the 'Molekülwende' (molecule turn) — articulates the strategic argument that liquid hydrocarbons, advanced biofuels, synthetic e-fuels, and CO2-neutral hydrogen will remain central to Germany's industrial economy while being progressively decarbonised, rather than displaced outright by electrification.

The revenue model is membership-dues based and exclusively recurring; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. Operating with 11–50 employees from a single Berlin Mitte office at Georgenstraße 24, en2x serves as the unified collective interface between German fuels-sector operators, federal policymakers, regulators, and the scientific community, advocating for internationally competitive locational conditions, supply security, and a managed transition to greenhouse-gas-neutral products.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• DBFZ (Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024en2x commissioned the German Biomass Research Center (DBFZ) to conduct a comparative analysis of sustainable biomass potentials for the mineral oil industry. The study examines how a significant portion of mineral oil product demand could be substituted using biogenic waste and residual materials.
• Initiative Verkehrsentlastung (17 economic associations)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerA coalition of 17 economic associations advocating for alignment of permitted truck total weight from 40 to 44 tons, as already possible in combined transport. The initiative aims to save millions of truck journeys annually.
• Vorgängerverbände IWO und MWVminorOthersThe predecessor organizations Institut für Wärme und Mobilität e.V. (IWO) and Mineralölwirtschaftsverband e.V. (MWV) were merged to form en2x. Historical studies and publications from these organizations are still referenced and available through en2x.
