(BRIEF) Repsol’s commercial complex in Cartagena welcomed the arrival of the first shipment with 7,500 tons of used cooking oil, which will be used as raw fuel for Spain’s first renewable fuel plant. As part of its transformation into multi-energy hubs with the capacity to produce low- and zero-carbon fuels, Repsol has invested more than €200 million in the complex biofuels plant at its Cartagena facility. The plant is expected to produce 250,000 tonnes annually of renewable fuels from waste such as used cooking oil. These complex biofuels are compatible with a wide variety of automobiles and contribute to an early reduction of CO2 emissions in the maritime sector. Repsol’s initiative aims to offer its consumers one hundred consistent renewable fuels, committed to sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions. .
(PRESS RELEASE) MADRID, December 14, 2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Repsol’s shopping complex in Cartagena has been awarded the first vessel equipped with used cooking oil that will be used as a raw material in Spain’s first renewable fuel plant. The ship, which arrived from Huelva in southern Spain, unloaded 7,500 tonnes of used cooking oil.
Repsol transforms its commercial complexes into multi-energy centers capable of generating fuels with a low or 0 carbon footprint. One example is the complex biofuels plant it has built at its facilities in Cartagena, in which it has invested more than 200 million euros, and in which it will produce 250,000 tonnes of renewable fuels per year from waste such as used cooking oil.
With this project, Repsol is advancing in its commercial transformation with the use of recycled raw fabrics to offer its consumers 100% renewable fuels. The new complex biofuels, which can be used in any vehicle (car, truck, ship or plane). ) without the need for engine modifications, are an important step towards the early reduction of mobility-related CO2 emissions.
Renewable fuels are liquid fuels produced from renewable feedstocks. They have similar properties to traditional fuels and do not generate net emissions, since the CO2 they release with their use is equivalent to the CO2 that was previously removed from the environment through the biological feedstock.
Repsol will receive around 300,000 tons of waste per year at the Port of Cartagena, among which used cooking oil will play a very relevant role.
