Cepsa begins producing advanced biofuels at its Huelva Energy Park

Cepsa has begun to produce advanced biofuels (2G) at its La Rábida Energy Park, located in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), the company itself reported on Friday. To produce these fuels, Cepsa has used used cooking oils, thus valuing this waste and promoting the circular economy.

Biofuels can reduce emissions by up to 80% during their entire life cycle (compared to conventional fuels) and increase energy independence and security of supply, which is so relevant in the current context.

This milestone is part of Cepsa's 2030 strategic plan, 'Positive Motion', through which the company promotes the reduction of emissions from heavy transport (maritime, air and road) through the production of green molecules, mainly biofuels and green hydrogen.

Cepsa has established an ambitious roadmap to cut its emissions for all its activities. Specifically, in 2030, it will reduce its CO2 emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 55% compared to 2019 and aims to be carbon neutral before 2050.
