Solarig to develop some of the modern sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF) crops on this planet.
Solarig has introduced, in a ceremony held with the Regional Authorities of Castilla y León, the event in Soria of some of the modern Sustainable Aviation Gas (SAF) crops on this planet, in Parque Empresarial del Medio Ambiente (PEMA) positioned within the municipality of Garray.
The occasion was attended by Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, President of the Regional Authorities of Castilla y León; and Miguel Ángel Calleja, President and CEO of Solarig, amongst different authorities and personalities.
The ‘NUMANTIA SAF’ mission could have a manufacturing capability of 60,000 tonnes per 12 months of SAF, equal to greater than 12,000 (twelve thousand) Madrid-Mallorca flights. With an estimated funding of €780 million, this facility will incorporate absolutely devoted renewable belongings comparable to a 370 MWp photo voltaic photovoltaic plant, a 50 MW wind farm, in addition to battery storage with a 100 MWh capability.

NUMANTIA SAF’ will enhance the native economic system with the creation of greater than 1,000 direct and oblique expert jobs -870 in the course of the building part and greater than 140 within the operation and upkeep phase-, fostering native improvement and using present infrastructures. The development part is anticipated to begin in 2026 and the commissioning and operation in 2028.
The settlement reached between Solarig and SOMACYL (Sociedad Pública de Infraestructuras y Medio Ambiente de Castilla y León) contains the acquisition of 116,000 sq. metres inside Parque Empresarial del Medio Ambiente (PEMA), the place the plant will likely be positioned.
Miguel Ángel Calleja, President and CEO of Solarig, highlighted that this new facility permits Spain to maintain the management as a worldwide reference within the sustainable fuels sector.
Miguel Ángel Calleja, President and CEO of Solarig, stated:
A couple of months in the past, Solarig launched the event of a biomethane technique in Castilla y León, and at the moment Solarig is asserting a pioneering mission on this planet with a totally round method: it entails the use and restoration of biogas produced from our agricultural and livestock waste along with renewable sources: water, wind and solar.
“By combining these native sources with the newest expertise, Solarig will be capable of be part of the sustainable gasoline economic system that’s now rising. I firmly consider that this initiative will permit us to retain huge added worth on the native stage, generate high quality jobs and enhance financial progress in Castilla y León”.
In the meantime, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, President of the Regional Authorities of Castilla y León, said that:
Solarig’s dedication to Soria highlights its potential as an funding vacation spot and a supply of high quality employment, and the province is about to be an instance of sustainable financial progress.
“This mission, which has been offered at the moment, responds to the regional authorities’s goal of harnessing the area’s power potential and turning it right into a supply of wealth and employment, and is aligned with sustainable progress, the round economic system, respect for the atmosphere and the power transition in the direction of decarbonisation”.
Modern expertise, renewable sources and decarbonisation
The plant will mix in the identical facility two paths for the manufacturing of SAF. Firstly, the Fuel-to-Liquid (GtL) one, that consists of the reforming of biomethane obtained from the valorisation of native agricultural and livestock waste. Secondly, the Energy-to-Liquid (PtL) one that mixes biogenic CO₂ with renewable H2.
All of the processes concerned within the plant will likely be powered by renewable power. The mission is dedicated to the decarbonisation of the transport sector via the seize and utilisation of 140,000 tonnes of CO₂ per 12 months, and the discount of 170,000 tonnes of CO₂ per 12 months.
The SAF is a key component to decarbonise the aviation sector, answerable for 14% of worldwide CO₂ emissions attributable to the transport sector. The European Fee has launched programmes such because the ‘ReFuelEU Aviation‘ inside the ‘Match for 55’ framework, setting of mandates for minimal SAF uplift at EU airports from 2025 to 2050.
New company headquarters in Soria
Solarig has additionally reached an settlement with SOMACYL (Sociedad Pública de Infraestructuras y Medio Ambiente de Castilla y León) to maneuver its new regional company headquarters in Soria to one of many “Cúpulas de la Energía” in Parque Empresarial del Medio Ambiente (PEMA), as soon as the works are accomplished in 2025. Solarig ‘s new workplace could have greater than 2,000 sq. metres positioned in a enterprise complicated linked to new applied sciences and sustainable improvement.
Solarig, sustainable power options for society
Solarig develops, funds, builds and operates infrastructure for the power transition. It presently manages greater than 10 GW of photovoltaic belongings and has a portfolio of greater than 20 GW of energy initiatives in 12 nations. The corporate drives international decarbonisation within the locations the place it operates via renewable power and inexperienced fuel options.
Headquartered in Madrid, Spain, it has a powerful presence in Europe, Central and South America, Japan and Australia. Dedicated to innovation and sustainability, Solarig has a crew of greater than 1,100 professionals.
Solarig works for the power transition in the direction of international decarbonisation and contributes to attaining the best ranges of power independence within the markets the place it operates. Solarig goals to play a key function within the sustainable progress of society by main the transition to cleaner power sources. The corporate goals to generate a optimistic impression on the atmosphere via its operations and its relationship with public administrations, shareholders, prospects, professionals, collaborators and suppliers.
Highlights:
- Solarig has reached an settlement with SOMACYL (Sociedad Pública de Infraestructuras y Medio Ambiente de Castilla y León) to amass 116,000 sq. metres to the mission referred to as ‘NUMANTIA SAF’ in Parque Empresarial del Medio Ambiente (PEMA) positioned in Soria (Spain). Moreover, Solarig could have its new regional company headquarters in one of many devoted Dome Constructing presently underneath building “Cúpulas de la Energía” .
- The SAF plant implies an estimated funding of 780 million euros, with a manufacturing capability of 60,000 tonnes of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Gas) per 12 months, avoiding the emission of 170,000 tonnes of CO₂.
- The modern method relies on the mixture of two technological routes for the SAF manufacturing, by the use of biomethane and renewable electrical energy in the identical facility.
- The plant will promote the circularity and use of native sources (solar, wind, water) and farming waste (biomethane and biogenic CO2), enhancing rural improvement and competitiveness.
