| Technology Brief |
The facility has the capacity to produce 200,000 tons per year, in addition to the 250,000 tons of renewable fuels produced annually at the Cartagena plant.
To develop this project in Puertollano, Repsol has invested €130 million in transforming, for the first time on the iberian peninsula, a refinery unit that processed fossil-based raw materials into a facility capable of processing used cooking oil and other waste from the agri-food industry.
The 200,000 tonnes of organic-based fuels produced annually at this plant—renewable diesel in this case— can be used immediately in cars, trucks and ships, leveraging existing refueling infrastructure. Their use can prevent the emission of approximately 700,000 tons of CO₂ per year, considering the product’s entire life cycle, compared to the conventional fuels they replace.
