據烴加工網4月14日報道，西班牙石油公司Cepsa與植物油加工商Apical Group的生物燃料部門合作，在西班牙南部建造了一座第二代生物燃料工廠，該項目耗資11.1億美元。

這家西班牙公司周五表示，將于2026年開始運營的該工廠將是南歐最大的工廠。其將使用有機廢物，如用過的烹飪油，年產50萬噸可再生柴油和可持續航空燃料（SAF）。在航空等難以電氣化的行業，生物燃料被視為交通脫碳的關鍵。

Cepsa表示，該廠將在西班牙南部安達盧西亞地區建造和運營，將創造約2000個直接和間接就業機會，每年可減少150萬噸二氧化碳排放。

該項目將有助于該石油公司實現到本世紀20年代末生產250萬噸生物燃料的目標。

Spain's Cepsa teams up with Apical to build $1-B biofuels plant

Spanish oil company Cepsa teamed up with vegetable oil processor Apical Group’s Bio-Oils unit to build a second-generation biofuels plant in southern Spain, a $1.11-B project.

The plant, set to start operating in 2026, will be Southern Europe’s largest, the Spanish company said on Friday. It will have a capacity of 500,000 tons of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per year using organic waste, such as used cooking oils. Biofuels are seen as key to decarbonize transportation in sectors hard to electrify, like aviation.

Building and operating the facility, which will be in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, will create around 2,000 direct and indirect jobs and save 1.5 million tons of CO2 emissions per year, Cepsa said.

The project will help the oil company achieve its goal of producing 2.5 million tons of biofuels by the end of the decade.
