Repsol Announces Green Hydrogen and Biogas Projects in Spain
(Bioenergy Insight) Spanish fuel company Repsol has announced two industrial decarbonisation projects involving green hydrogen and biogas. The CEO of Repsol, Josu Jon Imaz, presented the projects on 15 June that the company will undertake with the support of prominent Spanish and international partners. The facilities, to be built in the port of Bilbao and the surrounding area, will represent an €80 million investment.
The first project involves building one of the largest net-zero emissions synthetic fuel production plants in the world, based on green hydrogen generated with renewable energy. Repsol said the main feature of these new fuels is that they are produced using water and carbon dioxide (CO2) as the only raw materials. They can be used in the combustion engines currently installed in cars in Spain and the rest of the world, as well as planes, trucks and other machinery.

The second project, which will be located beside the green hydrogen facility, will be a plant for the generation of gas from urban waste. The gas will be used to replace part of the traditional fuels that the Basque refinery – one of the largest in Spain – currently uses in its production process. An initial investment of €20 million will be used for this project.
The pyrolysis plant will be able to process approximately 10,000 tonnes of urban waste annually, and its capacity could be increased at a later stage to around 100,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to all the urban waste produced in the surrounding area. READ MORE
