Ecofining Technology Will Transform Waste into Renewable Diesel

Repsol, in partnership with Honeywell, is adopting a groundbreaking approach to the production of renewable fuels. Using Honeywell’s Ecofining technology, Repsol plans to convert approximately 240,000 metric tons of waste and raw materials per year into renewable diesel and other products, significantly contributing to the reduction of the company’s carbon footprint.

The Innovative Ecofining Process

The Honeywell UOP Ecofining process will be implemented at Repsol’s plant in Puertollano, Spain. This technology not only allows for the economical conversion of waste into renewable fuels, but also ensures a high yield in production. Materials such as used cooking oil and animal fats will be the primary sources for this conversion.

Berta Cabello, Director of Renewable Fuels at Repsol, emphasizes the importance of this initiative: “Renewable fuels are a key pillar in our commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, and Honeywell provides us with the Ecofining technology to reach this goal.” This plant will be Repsol’s second facility dedicated solely to the production of 100% renewable fuels, strengthening the company’s leadership in this market in the Iberian Peninsula.

Environmental Impact and Commitment to Sustainability

Barry Glickman, Vice President of Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions, highlights the positive impact of this technology: “Ecofining technology will enable Repsol to convert waste into renewable fuels and reduce its carbon footprint.” The renewable diesel and SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) produced can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional diesel or aviation fuel.

Honeywell, in collaboration with Eni SpA, developed the UOP Ecofining to convert a variety of waste raw materials into renewable diesel and SAF. In addition to Ecofining, Honeywell offers other technologies for the production of renewable fuels, including Ethanol to Jet and the newly announced Honeywell UOP eFining, which utilizes green hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Honeywell: Commitment to Carbon Neutrality

Honeywell recently reinforced its commitment to sustainability, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations and facilities by 2035. This commitment is based on the company’s track record of reducing greenhouse gas intensity and its history of innovations aimed at helping customers meet their environmental and social goals. About 60% of Honeywell’s research and development investment in 2022 was directed towards ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) focused projects for customers.

This partnership between Repsol and Honeywell symbolizes a significant advancement in the production of renewable fuels, marking an important step towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Ruby- and sapphire-like stones have been found on Mars in the Jezero crater, 3.9 billion years old, following analysis by the Perseverance rover, sparking a new race for answers.

NASA astronauts create an optical illusion by “holding” the Cygnus XL spacecraft with their own hands aboard the ISS.

A startup hired 950 people and invested $1 billion to launch the world’s first private space station in May — without government, without NASA…

It costs around R$ 40,000, has a reliable Fire engine, and has been a sales success since its launch; see if it’s worth buying a used Fiat Punto in 2026.

The TCU discovered that the FAB made over 100 flights with only one person on board in planes designed for 50 passengers, and the waste of public money revealed in the report surprised even the auditors.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
