Repsol launches Nexa, the commercial brand of its 100% renewable premium diesel in service stations
Repsol has introduced Nexa 100% Renewable Diesel, the new commercial name for its fully renewable diesel fuel now available at its service stations. Designed as a premium fuel for all diesel engines, Nexa 100% Renewable Diesel features a unique formulation that enhances performance and extends engine life. Produced from organic waste, it uses current technology to achieve up to a 90% reduction in net CO2 emissions compared to conventional diesel, thanks to its lower carbon intensity derived from organic sources.
Repsol currently supplies Nexa 100% Renewable Diesel at over 580 service stations across major cities and transportation routes on the Iberian Peninsula, with 537 locations in Spain and 50 in Portugal. The company aims to end the year with over 600 renewable fuel stations, targeting a network of 1,500 by 2025.
For Valero Marín, Repsol's executive managing director for Client, “this new commercial name that we have just announced reinforces the company's commitment to renewable fuels and helps our customers to easily recognize our premium diesel produced from organic waste. At Repsol, we are prepared to offer any type of energy at our service stations and Nexa 100% Renewable Diesel is one more alternative that allows immediate decarbonization in the transport sector and can already be used in all diesel vehicles on our roads.”
Combustibles renovables
To decarbonize mobility, Repsol is committed to a model that combines electrification, renewable fuels, and hydrogen. All energy solutions must be taken into account to guarantee supply and reduce green-house gas emissions as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Renewable fuels are produced from organic waste, such as used cooking oil or agri-food waste, giving a second life to such materials that can be collected locally and reduce energy dependence on other countries. In addition, they are an alternative already available for the decarbonization of current and future vehicles, without the need to modify existing distribution and refueling infrastructures.
In this regard, Repsol announced last April the start of large-scale production of renewable fuels at its industrial complex in Cartagena, Spain. This plant, the first in the Iberian Peninsula dedicated exclusively to the production of 100% renewable fuels, with an investment of 250 million euros. It has a production capacity of 250,000 tons per year. It can produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), which can be used in any means of transport: cars, trucks, buses, ships, or airplanes, taking advantage of existing refueling infrastructures.
