In Spain, Cepsa has begun selling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at four of Spain’s main airports which combined handle over 133 million passengers each year, representing 55% of the country’s passenger traffic. The energy company is now selling SAF at the following major airports; Madrid, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Seville, to all customers who request it, becoming the first company to offer biofuel for aviation on a permanent basis.
The energy company, currently one of the main manufacturers and suppliers of aviation fuels in the Spanish market, produces this sustainable fuel at its La Rábida Energy Park (Huelva) from organic waste, such as used cooking oils and agricultural waste. These second-generation biofuels, in addition to reducing aircraft emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional kerosene, promote the circular economy, as they are produced using waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
