August 02, 2024 [Market Screener]- Since 2022, Volotea has been working on the integration of SAF into its fleet. Between 2022 and 2023, the airline used approximately 1 million litres of SAF; and since September 2022, it has had an agreement with Airbus to operate its shuttle between Hamburg and Toulouse with 34% SAF.

In March this year, the airline and Repsol had already reached an agreement to include the equivalent of 50% SAF fuel on the route operated by Volotea between Madrid and the Region of Murcia, marking a new milestone towards the decarbonization of the airline sector for the company.

Repsol is a pioneer in Spain in the production of renewable fuels for all transport sectors, including aviation. With the production of this type of fuel in its industrial complexes, Repsol has anticipated the different actions that EU institutions have established to promote the use of SAF. Repsol also has agreements with other national and international airlines for the supply of SAF.

This year, the multi-energy company began production of 100% renewable fuels at its Cartagena facilities.

The plant, the first large-scale plant in Spain and Portugal dedicated exclusively to the production of 100% renewable fuels and in which Repsol has invested 250 million euros, has a production capacity of 250,000 tonnes per year and can produce renewable diesel and SAF from waste.

Repsol’s goal is to reach a production capacity of up to 1.7 million tonnes of renewable fuels by 2027 and up to 2.7 million tonnes by 2030, thus leading this market in the Iberian Peninsula.
