Repsol has started large-scale production of 100% renewable fuels at its Puertollano industrial complex in Ciudad Real, its second such plant on the Iberian Peninsula. The new facility can produce 200,000 tons per year, adding to 250,000 tons per year from Cartagena, bringing Repsol’s total renewable-fuels capacity in Spain to about 450,000 tons annually.

What impact do you think this added capacity will have on renewable fuel availability and pricing in Iberia, and which sectors are likely to benefit first?

Scale is nice, but what is the hydrogen source and product CI? If the feed is UCO or tallow, how are they managing Na/K/P to protect the hydrotreater and isomerization beds, and are guard bed changeouts cadence- or analyzer-driven? Also, how are they meeting winter CFPP without hammering severity?

If this is paraffinic HVO, are they holding EN 15940 specs year-round for CFPP and density, and what feedstock mix keeps 450 kt per year steady? When we moved older fleets to 100% renewable, the solvency shift scrubbed tanks and loaded filters for a week and NBR seals shrank; planning cleanup and elastomer swaps matters more than the ribbon cutting.

At roughly 4,300 bpd, the carbon math comes down to feedstock and hydrogen source; are you running mostly UCO/tallow and pairing the units with green H2 or SMR plus CCS? From my ops experience, catalyst life is won or lost in pretreatment, so what FFA and metals specs are you holding to keep the hydrotreater stable and the LCA under ~30 gCO2e/MJ?
