Advanced biofuels
Advanced biofuels
They are made from organic raw materials such as used vegetable oil, waste animal fat, and agri-food waste.
Renewable fuels
Toward the decarbonization of mobility
As part of our commitment to become a net zero company by 2050 and make progress in our sustainability goals, we are focused on the production and marketing of renewable fuels.
What are renewable fuels?
They are liquid fuels that are produced using waste and renewable raw materials such as organic waste, hydrogen, and captured CO2.
As they come from circular raw materials, they are carbon neutral and have become one of the most effective solutions to reduce emissions derived from transportation.
Also, they are already available for existing vehicles, using the current distribution and refueling infrastructure.
Main benefits
Net zero emission fuels
The CO2 released during their use is the same as the CO2 removed from the atmosphere for their production.
Compatible with existing vehicles and infrastructures
They can be used in current engines and can be supplied at conventional service stations.
An alternative for all transportation sectors
Their use is key in sectors difficult to electrify such as aviation, maritime, and heavy-road transport.
Drive the circular economy
Reusable raw materials are used, such as organic waste, for their production.
Foster industrial development
Their production is an opportunity for industrial growth and the creation of new quality jobs.
Promote energy independence
They can be produced locally using mainly native raw materials and local renewable energy.
And, we're working to ensure that this percentage continues to grow.
Our projects
At Repsol, we are carrying out several cutting-edge industrial plans to produce renewable fuels in Spain.
Advanced biofuel production
This project, located in Cartagena, Spain, will be able to produce hydrobiodiesel, biojet, bionaphtha, and biopropane.
Synthetic fuel plant
It will be located in the port of Bilbao and boast a capacity of 8,000 liters per day.
A source of organic energy
In the production of advanced biofuels, the concepts of biomass and bioenergy play a key role. Find out more about them, and learn how organic material can be reused to produce heat, electricity, and renewable fuels.
The role of renewable fuels in current and future mobility
A real and effective solution for decarbonizing all transportation sectors.
Already key for addressing environmental challenges and promoting more sustainable travel.
