It is a highly specialized product, which provides great added value in markets such as
the automotive, both for its greater lightness and, mainly, for its extraordinary resistance to impact Thanks to these characteristics, this type of polymers are used as a raw material for the manufacture of bumpers and different elements of vehicles that require special firmness, such as door panels and instruments.
This project strengthens Repsol’s role as a key supplier to the automotive sector and a company committed to the environment, within the framework of its goal of reaching zero net emissions by 2050.
To manufacture this new range of polymers the company will install a second reactor in one of the polypropylene production units of the chemical area of the largest petrochemical complex in Spain.

On the other hand, Repsol’s refinery in La Coruña continues with the construction of the new unit for obtaining polymer-grade propylene, which, according to the multinational, will improve the competitiveness and efficiency of the industrial complex.
The objective of this new unit, which represents an investment of EUR 29 M for the company, is to increase propylene production by 35% at the A Coruña refinery and revalue it by increasing its quality. When the investment is completed, calculated for the first quarter of 2021, the refinery will reach an estimated annual production of 81,000 tons of polymer grade propylene. This material is used in the chemical industry as a raw material for the production of polypropylene, which in turn serves as the basis for manufacturing a wide variety of products of daily life, such as medical supplies, stationery, textile industry or packaging.
Repsol emphasizes that this project is an example of their commitment to the future and competitiveness of the Coruña refinery. In addition, they point out that this investment must be added to the maintenance work this year, which cost EUR 64 M.

Another project that Repsol announced to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Spain is the construction of an advanced biofuels plant which will produce 250,000 tons of hydrobiodiesel, biojet, bionaphtha and biopropane per year at the Cartagena factory.
The new plant, which will be operational in 2023 will produce these biofuels for the combustion of airplanes, trucks, and cars from recycled raw materials. It will allow reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 900,000 tons per year.
Repsol’s objective is to double the production of high-quality biofuels from vegetable oils, up to 600,000 tons by 2030, of which 50% will be produced with waste. The new facility will involve an investment close to s 200 million euros (specifically 188 million) and will include the launch of a hydrogen plant, which will feed hydrotreating unit, equipped with the latest technology.

The company will use the facilities of Terminal Ports (Tepsa), which has undertaken an investment of €6.2 million ($7.1 million) in the expansion of its liquid bulk dock, to open new warehouses for the unloading of ships and subsequent loading of fuel in trucks for distribution in Spain.

Autoridad Portuaria de Valencia (APV – Valenciaport, Port Authority of Valencia) has approved a resolution on the request for substantial modification of the concession owned by Tepsa, which will increase its area by 962 m². The remodeling of the terminal will guarantee the simultaneous berthing of two vessels.

The regulation was recently set up in order to reduce Hydrogen Sulphide emissions in the atmosphere, and can be found in the Port Authority’s website (www.apba.es).

In compliance with the mentioned instructions, all vessels are required to sign and stamp a declaration prior arrival, stating that cargo of OIL DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS carried on board the vessel with Algeciras port as origin or destination do not exceed the H2S maximum allowed concentration of 2.00 mg/kg (2.00ppmp) in liquid phase, measure based on IP-570-4 method.
Failing to comply such requirement, Algeciras Port Authorities will not authorise the vessel to berth.

The storage consists of 5/6 tanks with a total capacity said to be 25000 m3, which supposedly will be dedicated to Gas Oil, Gasoline and Fuel Oil.

Terminal is not operative yet but tanks are ready and pending of bidding formalities with Port Authorities.

The same owners have also aquired some tanks at CABEZUELA pier in Cadiz, under the name of OPETRADE, which are the former tanks of SERPOSUR (dedicated to vegoils and which are currently going to be fitted for hydrocarbon products).
