Cepsa, Bio-Oils award Worley pretreatment, wastewater contract for renewable diesel, SAF project in Spain
Cepsa Bioenergia San Roque SL, a joint venture between Cepsa and Bio-Oils, has awarded Worley a services contract for the expansion of its renewable fuel complex in Huelva, Spain, including a new biofuel plant, Worley announced Aug. 26.
Cepsa and Apical state that, when completed, the new biorefinery is expected to become one of the largest second-generation biofuel plants in southern Europe, supporting lower-carbon aviation, maritime and land transportation.
The new biofuel plant will be designed to feature flexible annual production of 500,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel, doubling the current complex’s production capacity to 1 million tons per year.
The new biofuel plant is scheduled to begin production in 2026.
Cepsa and Bio-Oils began construction on the new facility in February.
Under the contract, Worley will provide engineering, procurement and field engineering-support services including the feedstock-pretreatment facilities, outside battery limit (OSBL) fuel-pretreatment units, and wastewater-treatment plant.
Under the contract, Worley will provide the services through its office in Singapore with support from its Spain and global integrated delivery (GID) teams in India.
“We are pleased to work with the CBSR joint venture between Cepsa and Bio-Oils on this large second-generation biofuel plant, which is consistent with our purpose of delivering a more sustainable world,” said Worley CEO Chris Ashton.
Worley is a global professional-services company of energy, chemicals and resources experts headquartered in Australia.
