ZERO CARBONEMISSION PETROL STATION IN THE WORLD
NEXT GENERATION SOLAR POWERED PETROL STATION
THE WINNER OF THE EUROPEAN SOLAR PRIZE 2012 BY EUROPA STUDIO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
“RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITIONS: A LEARNING FACILITY FOR SOLAR MOBILITY“

6. SUSTAINABLE
The interior is designed and built using environmental-friendly materials: tailor-made cardboard shop equipment and furniture; recycled vinyl textile flooring,
lamps hung from the ceiling made from 512 used wine corks. In the shop the chairs and tables all shop shelving displays and counter tops are made of
recycled cardboard.The three decorative balls with green northern lichen takes nourishment from the air and creates a pleasent micro-climate. The exterior
walls are covered with 75m2
greenwall and recycled wood composite wall cladding.

7. The building is the first green zero carbon emission petrol station in the World which utilizes solar energy. The building’s annual specific needs
and consumption per net heated area is lower than a passive building requires less than 15kWh/m2
a. Significantly enhanced heat insulation of
the building, including special three-layer glass surfaces, greatly reduce the energy required for heating and cooling. In the parking area a highly
efficient ABB electric car charger is installed. It can fully charge the batteries of an electric car in only 20 mins. The indoor-outdoor LED lighting
system with 355 total pieces of lamps saves 12.000 kWh electric energy.

8. The roof above the forecourt and the branches of the towering tailor-made “solar-trees” provide a total 250m2
of integrated solar
panels generating nearly 31.000 kWh of energy per annum. During summer days the station is self-sufficient by using solar energy.
The custom design resulted no visible junction box or cables and imitating solar tree leaves. The outstanding design combined with
sustainable technology can change our preconcept of traditional petrol station appearance and show an example to our next generation.
Europa Studio’s Next Generation Petrol Station shows us where the solar energy road can take us.

2004-2005
When MOL acquired the Slovnaft petrol station network, the appearance of the stations had to be modernized and updated.
All elements of the pump islands were installed and mounted, while the marquees and several buildings were given a uniform
image. After the test station was completed and delivered to the client, Europa Studio also compiled the Slovnaft brand manual,
which has served as the basis for the reconstruction of several outdated Slovnaft petrol stations.

The MOL Group, a major regional player, places considerable
emphasis on being environmentally conscious and spearhead-
ing innovation. The petrol stations of the future use LED lighting
instead of neon, and have much lower energy consumption. Cre-
ating a uniform image, which also distinguishes them from the
competition, played an important part in the construction of the
new stations, whose appearance was designed by Europa Stu-
dio International.
