In Spain, Repsol and Iberia have signed an agreement with Inditex for the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel. The SAF used represents 5% of the fuel that Iberia uses to transport Inditex’s merchandise on its flights. Iberia has made a first purchase of SAF to be used for Inditex’s cargo, which Repsol will supply directly at the Madrid Barajas airport. The SAF supplied by Repsol is certified and complies with the standards of Annex IX Part B of the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001 Renewable Energy Directive II. “This new alliance with Iberia and Inditex reinforces our commitment to 100% renewable fuels as a lever for the decarbonization of mobility. The start of large-scale production of 100% renewable fuels in Cartagena is a milestone in our strategy. This plant, which produces both 100% renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels, will enable Repsol to be ready to supply the aviation sector with the SAF it needs to realize its decarbonization ambitions,” said Carlos Suárez, Repsol’s International Aviation Director.
