en.Wedoany.com Reported - Repsol Group's second fully renewable fuel production base at the Puertollano Industrial Park has recently commenced operations, with a total project investment exceeding €130 million.

The plant has an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of renewable diesel, using raw materials derived from waste cooking oil and agro-food processing waste. The product can be directly supplied to cars, trucks, and ships without requiring modifications to existing fuel supply systems. From a full lifecycle perspective, compared to fossil fuels, the plant can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 700,000 tons per year. Combined with the 250,000-ton annual capacity of the Cartagena plant, Repsol's total renewable fuel production capacity has been significantly enhanced. Additionally, the project includes a supplementary investment of €16 million to produce biogas from local waste, replacing natural gas for green hydrogen production. This process can reduce carbon emissions from the finished diesel by 98% compared to mineral fuels.

Repsol's premium fully renewable diesel product, Nexa, is now sold at over 1,600 service stations in Spain and Portugal and is compatible with all diesel engines. The park also uses organic waste to produce sustainable aviation fuel in bulk, supporting airlines' decarbonization efforts.
