Fundación Repsol is advancing energy transition goals through social and economic initiatives, specifically focusing on the ‘Motor Verde’ project. Launched in 2021 in partnership with Grupo Sylvestris, the initiative conducts large-scale reforestation across Spain and Portugal to restore natural spaces, increase biodiversity, and absorb CO2.

To date, the project has restored more than 9,000 hectares and generated over 3,400 jobs, aiming to revitalize rural economies. Additionally, the project incorporates satellite technology developed with Hispasat to assist in the early detection and prevention of forest fires. The initiative continues to emphasize the human element of the energy transition by combining environmental recovery with rural economic revitalization.
