Repsol will have 600 gas stations with renewable fuels by the end of 2024

The renewable fuels They seem like something from the future, but the reality is that Repsol will exceed the 600 stations service with 100% renewable fuel end of 2024. This represents an extraordinary increase over the current offer, since currently, the multi-energy company supplies this fuel at around 60 service stations. In any case, it is an exponential growth, since it was in the month of May 2023 when it launched the first three stations in Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon, thus becoming the first Spanish group to offer 100% renewable fuel to its customers. customers.

Although the main offer of renewable fuel of Repsol focuses on dieselthe company has just launched a new pilot project in three service stations with 100% renewable gasoline, to expand this range of products. Currently, the Repsol stations that have this new renewable fuel are in the city of Madrid (Hipódromo, Arturo Soria and Herrera Oria).

At the moment, the production of 100% renewable gasoline for the end user is in the development period, despite the fact that the team of researchers at Repsol Technology Lab carry more than 20 years designing competition gasoline for MotoGP and has developed this new fuel by transferring the knowledge of high competition to the formulation of the commercial product. This new fuel is produced from waste from biomass, agri-food industry and used cooking oils.

Repsol has been manufacturing and marketing biofuels for more than two decades, and since 2019, it has incorporated organic waste in its manufacturing.

The first floor of the Iberian Peninsula dedicated exclusively to production of advanced biofuels from wastewill open in the coming weeks in Cartagena (Murcia Region). It will manufacture 250,000 tons annually, which will prevent the emission of 900,000 tons of CO2 per year. Likewise, Repsol will launch in 2025 in Puertollano the second facility dedicated exclusively to producing biofuels from waste that will produce 240,000 tons of renewable fuels.. In 2030, Repsol will have a production capacity of more than two million tons of renewable fuelswhich will position it as a leading company in the production of these fuels in Spain and Europe.

For this reason, it has launched an initiative to collect used cooking oil at its service stations in the Community of Madrid and Galicia, which will progressively extend to the rest of the autonomous communities. For every liter of cooking oil used, 0.9 liters of renewable fuel are produced.

Customers can bring the used cooking oil to any of the more than 300 collection points available at Repsol service stations in Madrid and Galicia, and those that have the application Waylet They will be able to benefit from a discount of 30 cents per liter of used cooking oil for an upcoming refueling or to purchase other products at the company’s more than 3,300 service stations in Spain.
