Cepsa Advances Biofuel Production With New Plant
Biofuels can be used to decarbonise land, sea and air transportation in various different forms. The big advantage of biofuels is that they work with most existing combustion engines, meaning they can be distributed through the current infrastructure for conventional fuels.
Cepsa is already producing some biofuels from used cooking oil at the La Rabida energy park in Huelva. Earlier this year it began construction—together with Bio-Oils—of a $1.3 billion second-generation biofuels plant in the same location. Along with the existing facilities operated by Cepsa and Bio-Oils in Huelva, the plant will form the second-largest renewable fuel complex in Europe, with a total production capacity of 1mt/yr.
