With 600 service stations now supplying 100% renewable Nexa Diesel, Repsol is making significant strides toward its #sustainability goals & paving the way for immediate decarbonization in the transport sector. ⚡ Transition fuels produced from organic waste are an effective & much-needed route to #decarbonization. They reduce net CO2 emissions by up to 90%, while utilizing existing vehicles & refueling infrastructure. However, achieving such decarbonization at scale requires strong #traceability across the sourcing, production & distribution #SupplyChain. At Finboot, we are proud to have supported Repsol since 2018, providing innovative Green Supply Chain Management solutions that ensure transparency & accountability throughout their processes. As Valero Marín, Repsol’s Client Executive Managing Director, highlighted, Repsol is committed to offering sustainable mobility solutions & enabling customers to make informed choices for a greener future. 💡 Download our case study to discover how Repsol achieved full traceability for #NetZero emissions fuels (HVO), tracing the entire product lifecycle from production to consumption: https://bit.ly/488Edwc

One of the most important aspects of sustainable logistics is the introduction of alternative fuels and electric vehicles. By switching from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to cleaner alternatives, companies can significantly reduce their carbon and air pollutant emissions. Biofuels such as biodiesel and renewable diesel can serve as a direct replacement for conventional diesel, offering a more sustainable option with lower emissions. Additionally, integrating electric vehicles into the logistics fleet can have a transformative impact as they produce zero exhaust emissions. Investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the gradual replacement of traditional vehicles with electric vehicles can have significant environmental benefits #WNOG #Logistics #energy #greenenergy

🎯 Strategic Decarbonisation targets MUST be backed by substantial and demonstrable tactical measures! ✅ And this, is a clear example of it. Finboot's long time partner (customer ➕ investor) Repsol has published an update on their deployment of 100% Renewable Nexa Diesel now available in 600 service stations across Spain and Portugal. 🌿 This Renewable Nexa Diesel is a transition fuel, which means it is compatible with existing infrastructure (storage + distribution + vehicles) and it is also reduces emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional fossil diesel. 🛢️ This reduction on emissions is partly achieved by replacing fossil feedstock with residual vegetable oils in the fuel production process. ⚡ Transition fuels like Nexa Diesel are an excellent complement to the electrification of mobility. They represent an immediate vehicle (pun intended) to a rapid reduction on emissions in mobility. 🚛 Of course, this also needs to be backed by conscious consumer choices. Businesses in the transportation industry should be taking steps to guarantee that their legacy fleet transitions, when possible, to only consume low emission fuels. Having them available in over 600 service stations is obviously a big help for them. #netzero #sustainablemobility #urbanmobility #sustianablefuels

The start-up of our renewable fuels unit in #Cartagena this year is a proud moment for Repsol: Used cooking oil is turned into #fuel that lowers greenhouse gas #emissions from transport using existing #cars and #trucks and infrastructure. To put this into context, our 250 million euros of private capital it will have the same decarbonizing effect as 400,000 electric vehicles that cost 4 billion in subsidies. To be clear, I'm not suggesting this is #EV vs ICE but rather that we need both to lower #transport emissions as quickly as possible as cheaply as possible for the benefit of #consumers and #taxpayers.

📢 FuelsEurope congratulates Commissioner-designate Apostolos Tzitzikostas, who was confirmed after appearing before Members of the European Parliament and presenting his vision for the future of #EUtransport. A very interesting and vivid discussion during the more than 3-hour hearing with some important key takeaways for our sector:   - We welcome the Commissioner-designate’s support for #technologyneutrality in transportation. This principle, which used to be a guiding principle in the EU policy-making, is more than crucial today, for ensuring that all CO2 reducing technologies, including #renewablefuels, can contribute to decarbonising transport including road transport 🚗 .   - On questions asked about CO₂ standards for road vehicles, we agree that electrification has a vital role and we welcome the commitment to broaden the spectrum of CO2 reduction technologies by including e-fuels as well. However, this is only a half-step forward. Sustainable renewable fuels—both bio and synthetic—should also be leveraged to meet CO₂ targets. Both advanced biofuels and e-fuels fuels can enhance emissions reduction efforts while providing affordable mobility options for all, with advanced biofuels available as of today. No CO2 reduction technology should be left behind, given the level of climate ambition 🍃 .   - We agree with the view ‘that decarbonising #aviation and #maritime transport requires a global approach. Effective climate action in these sectors can only succeed through international collaboration, safeguarding #EUcompetitiveness.   - We noted the Commissioner-designate concerns about the Book and Claim approach for #SAF and his interest in further assessing this option. We believe that Book and Claim has the potential to minimise the cost of logistics while allowing to fully comply with the regulatory targets, while robust monitoring systems exist to prevent fraud and double claims. Therefore a comprehensive assessment and an open dialogue with all stakeholders is absolutely needed.   - We share the Commissioner-designate view that corporate fleets are an important segment in road transport which can provide a significant contribution to decarbonisation of the sector. Given that he left all options open to support decarbonisation of corporate fleets, we call him to adopt an inclusive rather than exclusive approach, considering all available decarbonisation solutions, including sustainable renewable fuels.    💫 Upon Mr. Tzitzikostas's confirmation as Commissioner, we offer the full support of the Fuel Manufacturing Industry to work with him and his team on  this very challenging journey towards sustainable and competitive transition of EU transport.   🔗 For more on how the Fuel Manufacturing Industry can contribute to meet EU’s climate objectives read our More than a Manifesto… an Offer for Europe: https://lnkd.in/dU7SsGqM
