In Portugal, Reuters reported that Portugal’s environment regulator APA approved a project by Portuguese oil firm Galp to launch an industrial-scale plant to produce biodiesel and biojet fuel using cooking oils at its Sines refinery.
According to the report, Galp aims to launch the Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) plant, with an initial investment of $302 million, at its refinery in Lisbon, where it plans to install its first 100-megawatt green hydrogen unit.
The plant will have a maximum production capacity of 262,700 tons per year of biodiesel and 193,000 annual tons of biojet fuel and other products, also from renewable sources, the report added.
