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.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

A man went to the supermarket in China with the salary of a single day’s work, and what he put in the cart will make any Brazilian question why they pay so much to eat so little.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
