Spanish energy company Repsol has licensed Honeywell's Ecofining technology to produce renewable fuels at its Puertollano facility.
The factory plans to convert waste raw materials such as used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fats, in renewable diesel and other products. Honeywell announced on October 3 that it will have a capacity of up to 240,000 tons per year.
“This will be Repsol’s second plant dedicated exclusively to the production of renewable 100% fuels,” said Repsol’s director of renewable fuels, Berta Cabello.
Developed in conjunction with Eni SpA, Honeywell's UOP Ecofining process converts waste vegetable oils, animal fats and other waste feedstocks into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
As part of its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, Repsol is transforming its seven industrial complexes in Spain, Portugal and Peru into multi-energy hubs to produce renewable fuels and renewable hydrogen.
