This initiative expands the range of sustainable feedstock options available and supports the development of low-emission fuels.

Repsol plans to use its cutting-edge industrial facilities in Spain to process these oils, paving the way for new, sustainable fuel production pathways in the region.

Julio Garros, Co-President, Agribusiness at Bunge said, ”Through industry collaborations, we are adding new oil sources to our global supply chains and investing in processing plants with greater ability to handle and process these crops, expanding our offerings of cost-effective, sustainable feedstocks to customers worldwide,”
