Repsol, Honeywell explore biofuel production pathways
Spanish integrated energy firm Repsol and US engineering company Honeywell have agreed to work together to develop new production pathways for biofuels and sustainable polymers.
The companies plan to scale up and commercialise Honeywell technologies at Repsol refineries to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) from waste feedstocks.
Renewables are a key element of Repsol's strategy. The company is targeting renewable fuel production capacity of 1.5mn-1.7mn t/yr in 2027, up from 1mn t/yr in 2023.
Repsol is also considering using Honeywell technology for turning waste plastics into recycled polymers, which are a feedstock for new plastics. The firm recently announced an agreement to supply the airline group IAG with over 28,000t of SAF over the next six months.
