Portugal’s Galp Plans to Start Producing Biofuels In 2025
LISBON, Dec 19 (Reuters) – Portugal’s Galp Energia anticipates to begin producing biodiesel and biojet fuel from waste in an industrial-scale unit it is constructing at its Sines refinery in 2026, the business, which is mainly an oil producer and refiner, said on Thursday.
In 2015 Galp got in into a 75%-25% joint venture with Japan’s Mitsui to invest 400 million euros ($415 million) in the Hydrogenated Grease (HVO) plant, which will have a production capability of 270,000 metric heaps annually.
It will change waste materials, such as used cooking oils, into eco-friendly biodiesel and biojet fuel, also known as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), using green hydrogen produced by an electrolyser powered by wind or solar energy.
Galp stated in a statement it received on Wednesday the three reactors to process biofuels, which will enable the HVO unit to “produce SAF and biodiesel in 2026 … placing Galp at the leading edge of establishing low-carbon options necessary for the energy shift”.
Galp is also investing 250 million euros in a 100 megawatt (MW) electrolyser system to produce green hydrogen to power the in Sines. ($1 = 0.9637 euros) (Reporting by Sergio Goncalves;-RRB-
