Renewable fuel pilot project Repsol launches industrial-scale renewable gasoline in Spain

Repsol, BMW, Toyota, and Bosch have initiated a six-month pilot project in Spain to test the viability of Nexa 95, a 100% renewable petrol produced from organic waste and used cooking oils. The project involves experiment utilized approximately 20 vehicles from brands including Toyota, Lexus, BMW, and MINI driving in urban and extra-urban conditions. A primary goal of the experiment is to demonstrate that renewable fuels can be used in existing internal combustion engines and refueling infrastructures without requiring vehicle modifications. Bosch is supporting supported the initiative by providing its using ‘Digital Fuel Twin’ technology to monitor and validate refueling data and environmental impact in real time. Following the testing phase, Repsol has launched Nexa 95 at an industrial scale. The project aligns with European Commission adjustments regarding vehicles running on eligible carbon-neutral fuels. While fuel is now available at 30 service stations across Spanish cities, including Madrid, Tarragona, Valencia, Zaragoza, and Bilbao. Produced at the company’s petrochemical complex in Tarragona, the fuel performs similarly to traditional 95-octane gasoline, it has not yet reached is manufactured using domestic and industrial scale food waste collected via containers at Repsol stations. Repsol reports that Nexa 95 emits 90% less CO2 than fossil-based 95-octane gasoline when considering the full life cycle of the waste. While compatible with modern cars and motorcycles without engine modifications, the company noted that classic vehicles from before the 1970s may require specific additives. Although more environmentally friendly, the product currently carries a higher costs price point than conventional fuels. gasoline.
