Renewable fuels from waste
At Repsol, we have been manufacturing and marketing biofuels for years. To do this, we use various raw materials, like vegetable oil waste, used cooking oil, biomass, and wine-based alcohols from waste in the wine industry. The use of these raw materials allows us to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to the traditional fuels they replace. Used cooking oil, for example, reduces emissions by 85-90%.
Pioneers in Spain
At Repsol, we are building the first low-emissions advanced biofuels plant in Spain at our refinery in Cartagena. The plant will produce biofuels from recycled raw materials and have an annual production capacity of 250,000 tonnes of hydrobiodiesel, biojet, bionaphtha, and biopropane to be used in aircraft, trucks, or cars.
This pioneering facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and the most efficient solutions and will include the commissioning of a hydrogen plant that will fuel a new hydrotreatment unit.
