MabanaftESG & Sustainability Jobs

Independent liquid energy distributor supplying heating oil, diesel, biofuels, and low-carbon fuels across Europe, the US, and Singapore

Mabanaft, operating its retail and distribution business under the MB Energy brand, is an independent energy company headquartered in Hamburg. It covers the full supply chain for liquid energy - from import and storage to distribution - serving private households, agriculture, logistics fleets, aviation, shipping, and industrial customers across roughly 10 countries through 80 offices and 400 truck stops.

Why it matters

The company sits at the intersection of conventional fuel supply and the energy transition. Alongside heating oil, diesel, and LPG, Mabanaft distributes HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil, a drop-in renewable diesel), biofuels, and is positioning itself in ammonia, hydrogen, and synthetic e-fuels. Its ESG and emissions work focuses on helping customers in hard-to-electrify sectors - shipping, aviation, heavy transport, agriculture - access lower-carbon liquid fuel alternatives while the broader infrastructure catches up.

With around 1,800 employees worldwide, the company describes its role as enabling a gradual decarbonisation of liquid fuel demand rather than an abrupt exit from fossil products - a pragmatic but contested position that makes its Emissions and ESG function central to how it manages regulatory exposure and product transition.
