# Renewable fuel adoption in Spanish industry > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/renewable-fuel-adoption-in-spanish-industry > Updated: 2026-10-03T21:23:01.000Z. Sources: 10. Developments: 2. Moeve and Emerita Resources have entered into an agreement to implement 100% renewable diesel (HVO) within the Spanish mining sector. This initiative, the first of its kind in Spain, targets the Iberian Belt West (IBW) project in Huelva province. The biofuel will be produced at Moeve’s Palos de la Frontera facilities to power heavy machinery and mineral concentrate transport, potentially reducing annual CO2 emissions by approximately 2,600 tons. The adoption of such fuels is occurring alongside broader regulatory pressures in Europe. Under Royal Decree 611/2026, there are binding obligations for renewable fuels in transport beginning in 2027, with non-biological renewable fuels required to constitute 2.5% of road transport energy by 2030. Industry leaders have warned that delays in investing in renewable hydrogen and other technologies could impact long-term competitiveness due to the lengthy construction timelines required for large-scale infrastructure. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-03: Renewable fuel adoption advances through industrial HVO use and hydrogen mandates Renewable fuel adoption is accelerating through industrial HVO diesel use in Spanish mining and urgent calls for hydrogen investment to meet upcoming European regulatory mandates. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/renewable-fuel-adoption-advances-through-industrial-hvo-use-and-hydrogen-mandates ### 2026-09-28: Moeve and Emerita Resources sign Spain's first renewable diesel mining deal Moeve and Emerita Resources have signed Spain's first industrial agreement to supply 100% renewable diesel (HVO) for mining operations at the Iberian Belt West project in Huelva. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/moeve-and-emerita-resources-sign-spains-first-renewable-diesel-mining-deal --- Cite as: Renewable fuel adoption in Spanish industry.
