Iberia Airport Services and Repsol use SAF in handling activities at Bilbao Airport

May 31, 2023 |

In Spain, Iberia Airport Services and Repsol said they have carried out handling activities at Bilbao airport with 100% renewable fuel. Over the next month, both companies will use a sustainable fuel, treated at the Petronor plant, for all aircraft and customer service operations at Loiu airport.

For one month, Iberia Airport Services will supply almost all of its handling teams with 5,000 liters of 100% renewable Repsol fuel, treated at the Petronor refinery in Muskiz, just 30 kilometers from Loiu airport. They will refuel their conveyor belts, ladders, electrical and pneumatic equipment, planters, tractors, platforms, and pushback trailers leading to a reduction of some 12.5 tons of CO2 over the next month.

In 2025, Repsol will have a production capacity of 1.3 million tons of renewable fuels and will reach more than two million tons in 2030.

Also in 2025, Repsol and Iberia plan to operate with synthetic SAF produced at the Petronor plant in Bilbao.
