Hydrocarbon Engineering,
Located in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva province, this plant, with an estimated total cost of €1.2 billion, will benefit from the synergies being located beside Moeve’s La Rábida Energy Park.
The new plant will have a production capacity of 500 000 tpy of sustainable fuels, including SAF and renewable diesel (HVO100). It will use agricultural waste and used cooking oils as raw materials.
Its design incorporates technologies to minimise environmental impact. In particular, it will rely exclusively on recycled water and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 75% compared to traditional plants, thereby avoiding the emission of nearly 3 million tpy of carbon dioxide.
This project will consolidate Spain’s position as a leading player in clean energy. It reinforces Cobra IS’s commitment to the decarbonisation of transport in Europe.
