We are making progress on the construction of the new plant

Our 2G biofuel plant, the largest in southern europe

Together with Bio-Oils, we have begun construction of our new 2G biofuel plant to jumpstart and ensure our customers’ decarbonization.

The largest plant in southern europe

We continue to build the path towards net zero emissions

The construction of the largest biofuel plant in southern Europe will allow us to double our 2G biofuel production capacity. SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), HVO 100, or renewable diesel, as well as biogas, will allow for the acceleration of decarbonization in heavy land, air, and maritime transportation, as well as in the industry.

Production capacity

500,000 tons per year

CO2 reduction

2G biofuels will prevent the emission of 3 million tons of CO2 per year

Location

Located next to our "La Rábida" energy park in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva.

Production start

Construction began in February 2024, and it will start production in 2026

Learn about the characteristics and benefits of the new plant, which is being built as part of our goal to lead the production of 2G biofuels in Spain and Portugal.

Reduced environmental impact

Latest technology

Thanks to the use of renewable hydrogen, 100% renewable electricity, and various heat recovery, and energy efficiency systems, the plant will emit 75% less CO2 than a traditional biofuel plant. In addition, it is designed to achieve net zero emissions in the medium term.

Job creation

Investment and development

This project has a 1.2-billion-euro investment and will contribute to the creation of 2,000 direct and indirect jobs during the construction and operation phases.

Boosting the circular economy

Using reclaimed water

The plant will not use fresh water. It will only use reclaimed water, and its water emissions will have a minimal impact on the ecosystem, thanks to its robust water treatment plant.

Promoting green hydrogen

Biogas production

In addition to SAF and HVO, it will produce biogas, a fundamental raw material for producing green hydrogen, which is critical to decarbonizing the industry. In addition, with biogas treatment, biogenic CO2 is captured, which is essential to produce green methanol and essential to decarbonizing maritime transport.

SAF, sustainable aviation fuel

We promote decarbonization of air transport with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

HVO 100, an immediate solution

HVO 100 is a 2G biofuel that acts as an immediate and effective solution to accelerate the decarbonization of hard-to-electrify sectors.
