CEPSA develops new process to manufacture biofuel from vegetable oil

Source : istockanalyst.com

CEPSA, a Spain-based company primarily active in the energy sector and the hydrocarbons industry, has developed a new process to manufacture biofuel from vegetable oil. This research project has been in progress since 2007, leading to the development of a hydrogenation process to transform vegetable oil into biofuel, using the same plant as that used to reduce the sulphur content in diesel. These units are used to produce a motor diesel known as hydrobiodiesel or hydro-treated biodiesel, the company said. The initial estimated production capacity for CEPSA's three refineries will be in excess of 100'000 m3 a year. Production will begin at the La Rábida refinery in Huelva in July and at the Gibraltar-San Roque refinery in Cadiz in November. The raw materials, crude palm oil, animal fats and other waste products, are all from certified sustainable sources.
