In Spain, Cepsa has undertaken its first direct supply of second-generation biofuels for the cruise industry at the Port of Barcelona. Further supplies have been confirmed for the coming months, with biofuels available on a regular basis from the Ports of Barcelona and Algeciras.
The supplied fuel contains a 24% sustainable component, which will prevent the emission of approximately 3,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to planting 200,000 trees. This biofuel has been produced from used cooking oils, promoting the circular economy.
Operated by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), the Norwegian Escape, a 1,069-feet-long passenger vessel, received the first supply in late July and is scheduled to lift biofuel supply throughout the EU season. Cepsa also supplied biofuel for another two NCLH-operated vessels, the 734-feet-long Seven Seas Voyager and the 785-feet-long Oceania Riviera, in early August.
With this supply, Cepsa further solidifies its position as a benchmark in the energy transition and a leader in the supply of energy for maritime transportation. Cepsa has the capacity to supply these sustainable fuels to the cruise industry on a regular basis at the Spanish ports where it operates.
