Repsol, Bilbobus, and Alsa roll out HVO trial in 12 buses

In Spain, Repsol, Bilbobus, and Alsa have launched the first pilot project in Spain to use HVO. Over the next four months, 12 buses in the fleet of Bilbobus, the Bilbao city bus line, will run on advanced residue-based biofuels.

The project will contribute to saving approximately 300 tons of CO2 emissions during the time of the pilot phase. It aims to demonstrate that advanced residue-based biofuels offer part of the solution to reaching the sustainability objectives in road mobility by helping to diversify Spain’s energy matrix. In this case, the more than 100,000 liters of fuel to be used in the project will be supplied by the Repsol Technology Lab.
