据烃加工网4月14日报道，西班牙石油公司Cepsa与植物油加工商Apical Group的生物燃料部门合作，在西班牙南部建造了一座第二代生物燃料工厂，该项目耗资11.1亿美元。

这家西班牙公司周五表示，将于2026年开始运营的该工厂将是南欧最大的工厂。其将使用有机废物，如用过的烹饪油，年产50万吨可再生柴油和可持续航空燃料（SAF）。在航空等难以电气化的行业，生物燃料被视为交通脱碳的关键。

Cepsa表示，该厂将在西班牙南部安达卢西亚地区建造和运营，将创造约2000个直接和间接就业机会，每年可减少150万吨二氧化碳排放。

该项目将有助于该石油公司实现到本世纪20年代末生产250万吨生物燃料的目标。

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.
