Repsol reaches 600 service stations selling 100% renewable diesel in Spain, Portugal
With the launch of 100% renewable diesel at its service station in Cartes (Cantabria, Spain), Repsol has achieved a significant milestone—600 stations supplying 100 percent renewable fuel across the Iberian Peninsula, including 550 in Spain and 50 in Portugal.
This accomplishment fulfills the target set in Repsol’s 2024-’27 strategic update to reach 600 stations with 100 percent renewable Nexa Diesel before year’s end.
The energy company plans further expansion, aiming for 1,500 stations offering 100 percent renewable fuel by the end of 2025.
The 100 percent renewable NEXA Diesel is produced from organic waste and, with current technology, already reduces net-CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent compared to the mineral fuel it replaces, thanks to the lower carbon intensity of the renewable fuel due to its organic origin.
It is also the top-of-the-range diesel on the Spanish market with an exclusive formulation that is designed for all diesel units, optimizes performance and extends engine life.
A launch event was held Nov. 26.
“This new milestone that we have just reached confirms our commitment to increasing the range of sustainable technologies for mobility, helping customers to choose the one that best suits their needs,” said Valero Marín, Repsol’s client executive managing director. “Renewable fuels are another alternative on offer in our extensive network of stations that enable immediate decarbonization of the transport sector. At Repsol, we want to continue to be the travel companion of our customers, whether they use an electric car, a gas-driven car, or a car that runs on renewable fuels.”
Berta Cabello, Repsol’s director of renewable fuels, said, “Renewable fuels are called to play a key role in the energy transition, as they fulfill the three pillars of energy policy—sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply. We are immersed in a profound transformation of the company, evolving our industrial complexes into multi-energy hubs with the capacity to generate products with a low- or zero-carbon footprint, promoting new business models based on circularity, digitalization and technology.”
Repsol announced last April the start of industrial-scale production of renewable fuels at its Cartagena facilities.
This plant, the first on the Iberian Peninsula dedicated exclusively to the production of 100 percent renewable fuels, is the result of an investment of 250 million euros (USD$264 million).
It has a production capacity of 250,000 tons per year of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
