Cepsa seals new partnership to turn waste into biofuels
Published on: Jul 2, 2024
The company has teamed up with PreZero Spain to develop biomethane plants and analyze solutions for the decarbonization of PreZero's private fleet.
Cepsa and PreZero Spain have signed a strategic alliance to collaborate and advance in their decarbonization goals.
The two companies will promote the biomethane market through collaboration in the supply of this renewable gas by PreZero in some of the energy company’s projects. At the same time, both companies will collaborate in the joint development of biomethane plants and work on the valorization of waste for the production of biofuels.
In turn, this alliance will serve to decarbonize the fleet that PreZero operates in Spain and Portugal.
"Together we will promote a sustainable alternative to the treatment of urban and industrial waste, valorizing it for the production of renewable energy, thus promoting a circular and decarbonized economy," said Carlos Barrasa, director of Commercial & Clean Energies at Cepsa.
Both companies are already making progress in the development of a biomethane plant in the province of Huelva. This new facility, which will have an annual capacity of up to 100 GWh, will be one of the largest installations of this renewable energy in Spain and will be used for both green hydrogen and renewable fuels production.
This plant will be built at Cepsa's facilities in Palos de la Frontera, where the company has an energy park and a chemical plant.
