Cepsa Expands Renewable Diesel Supply for Professional Clients Across Key Hubs
Cepsa has begun delivering 100% renewable diesel (HVO) to professional customers, offering sustainable solutions tailored to the needs of fleets and service providers. The initiative supports decarbonization efforts both at Cepsa’s own service stations and at the direct facilities of partner companies, reinforcing the company’s commitment to cleaner mobility and lower emissions across its network.
At present, the energy division markets this second‑generation biofuel to professional users such as haulers and fleet operators. The rollout includes a service station in Madrid along the A-3 corridor near the Vallecas district, with three additional strategic locations slated to come online before year’s end. The objective for 2024 is to supply renewable diesel across 20 networked stations, positioned along the country’s principal transport corridors and logistics hubs.
Cedric Vigneau, who leads Cepsa Fleets and CRT, welcomed the milestone and underscored the company’s direction: “As Cepsa, we back sustainable mobility and push toward a tangible impact today. We will therefore supply HVO in strategic sites to our professional clients, helping them decarbonize their operations with a high‑quality biofuel.”
Similarly, José Emiliano Pardo, Director of Direct Sales, highlighted that HVO is being provided directly to road transport and service companies, among others. He noted that Cepsa supports customers in their decarbonization journeys and reaffirmed sustainable mobility as a central pillar of the company’s Positive Action strategy.
The demand for renewable fuel is already evident from a diverse roster of clients, including major logistics providers and enterprises from various sectors. Across its life cycle, HVO reduces CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional fuels. Its chemical makeup closely resembles traditional diesel, which means no modifications are needed for existing engines or for current storage and distribution systems.
Cepsa backs the circular economy by producing this second‑generation biofuel from waste streams such as used cooking oils and agricultural residues at the La Rábida Energy Park in Huelva. In a broader plan to ensure supply to land, sea, and air transport, Cepsa is partnering with Bio-Oils to develop Southern Europe’s largest second‑generation biofuel plant, with investment reaching up to one billion euros. The facility is slated to become operational in 2026 in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva, and will offer a flexible production capacity of 500,000 tons of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per year.
Early tests of renewable biofuels in air, sea, and rail transport have demonstrated progress toward the company’s aim of enabling heavy‑duty decarbonization through the creation of green fuels. Within its Positive Action framework, Cepsa is charting a course toward energy transition leadership in Spain and Portugal by 2030, with an annual renewable fuel capacity of 2.5 million tons and green hydrogen capacity backed by 2 gigawatts of electrolysis. The company is also expanding a network of ultra‑fast charging stations at service sites across both nations, reinforcing a broader strategy to accelerate electrified mobility alongside sustainable liquid fuels and hydrogen opportunities. At every step, the emphasis remains on practical solutions that remove barriers to cleaner transport for customers in the region and beyond, while maintaining reliability and efficiency in energy supply.
