Repsol launches UCO collection in Madrid for renewable fuel feedstock

In Spain, Repsol launched 134 used cooking oil collection points at its service stations in the Community of Madrid. This is a new service that the company offers its customers to facilitate the sustainable management of this household waste. The company thus promotes the circular economy by using this oil as a raw material to produce renewable fuels, with zero net CO2 emissions.

To collect used cooking oil, customers can use plastic bottles of at least one liter and deliver it to the 134 Repsol service stations that currently have this service. In the coming weeks, this service will be extended to 150 points.

Users of the Waylet application will also be able to benefit from a discount of 30 cents per liter of used cooking oil delivered to the points available in the Community of Madrid for an upcoming refueling or to purchase other products in the more than 3,300 service stations of the company in Spain.

This year, Repsol will start up the first plant on the Iberian Peninsula in Cartagena (Murcia Region), which will manufacture 250,000 tons of advanced biofuels from waste each year, in addition to the 750,000 tons that the company currently produces. Repsol has set itself the goal of reaching the production of 1.3 million tons of renewable fuels in 2025 and 2 million tons in 2030.
