Repsol reaches 600 service stations serving 100% renewable fuels
With the launch of 100% renewable diesel at its service station in Cartes (Cantabria, Spain), Repsol has achieved a major milestone: 600 stations supplying 100% renewable gasoline throughout the Iberian Peninsula, together with 550 in Spain and 50 in Portugal. This accomplishment fulfills the goal set in Repsol’s 2024-2027 Strategic Replace to succeed in 600 stations with 100% renewable Nexa Diesel earlier than year-end.

This new milestone that we’ve simply reached confirms our dedication to growing the vary of sustainable applied sciences for mobility, serving to clients to decide on the one which most closely fits their wants.
“Renewable fuels are one other various on supply in our in depth community of stations which allow instant decarbonization of the transport sector. At Repsol, we need to proceed to be the journey companion of our clients, whether or not they use an electrical automotive, a gas-driven automotive, or a automotive that runs on renewable fuels”.
For her half, Berta Cabello, Repsol’s Director of Renewable Fuels, stated that
Renewable fuels are referred to as to play a key function within the power transition, as they fulfill the three pillars of power coverage: sustainability, competitiveness, and safety of provide.

Renewable fuels
To scale back emissions from mobility, Repsol is dedicated to a mannequin that mixes electrification, renewable fuels, and hydrogen. All power options have to be thought-about to ensure provide and scale back greenhouse gasoline emissions as shortly and effectively as potential.
Renewable fuels are produced from natural waste, reminiscent of used cooking oil or agri-food waste, giving a second life to such supplies that may be generated regionally and scale back power dependence on different international locations. As well as, they’re an already accessible various for the decarbonization of present and future autos, with out the necessity to change autos or modify current distribution and refueling infrastructures.
On this regard, Repsol introduced final April the beginning of industrial-scale manufacturing of renewable fuels at its Cartagena amenities. This plant, the primary on the Iberian Peninsula devoted solely to the manufacturing of 100% renewable fuels. It’s the results of an funding of 250 million euros, and it has a manufacturing capability of 250,000 tons per 12 months. It could actually produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF), which can be utilized in any technique of transport: automobiles, vans, buses, ships, or airplanes, profiting from current refueling infrastructures.
