Repsol selects Honeywell technology for biofuel production in Spain

Repsol has licensed Honeywell Ecofining™ technology to produce renewable fuels from feedstocks such as used cooking oil and waste animal fat at its facility in Puertollano, Spain.
Repsol is designing the plant to convert approximately 240,000 metric tons per annum (KMTA) of waste feeds/feedstocks to renewable diesel and other products.
The Honeywell UOP Ecofining™ process will provide Repsol with an efficient and high yield solution to produce renewable fuels and petrochemical precursors from residual feedstocks.
“Renewable fuels are a key pillar in our commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and Honeywell is providing us with the cutting-edge Ecofining technology to accomplish this,” said Berta Cabello, Repsol's director of renewable fuels.
“This will be Repsol's second plant exclusively dedicated to producing 100% renewable fuels, allowing us to lead the market for these products in the Iberian Peninsula where we already have more than 20 service stations supplying 100% renewable diesel.”
“Honeywell’s Ecofining technology will allow Repsol to economically convert waste feeds into renewable fuels and reduce its carbon footprint,” said Barry Glickman, vice-president and general manager, Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions.
The Honeywell UOP Ecofining™ process, developed in conjunction with Eni, can convert plant-based waste oils, animal fats and other waste feedstocks to renewable diesel and SAF.
